Prince Leopold, 1872
Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany (1855-1884) photographed in 1872. Leopold was the fourth son and eighth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The most academic of the Queens sons, he was also a haemophiliac, meaning that Victoria was keen to keep him at home as her assistant. In 1872, he went to Oxford, despite the Queens protestations where he befriended some of the finest minds in the country, including Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll). Leopold became increasingly active in public life, supportinig a wide range of social, medical and artistic causes.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1872, Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany (1855-1884) is depicted in formal attire, exuding an air of intelligence and refinement. The fourth son and eighth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Leopold was known for being the most academic of the Queen's sons. Due to his hemophilia, Victoria was keen to keep him at home as her assistant. However, in 1872, against her protestations, Leopold went to Oxford University where he befriended some of the finest minds in the country, including Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll. Leopold's time at Oxford marked a turning point in his life. He became increasingly active in public life, supporting a wide range of social, medical, and artistic causes. In 1881, he happily married Princess Helena of Waldeck-Pyrmont. Tragically, in 1884, after a fall while recuperating in Cannes, Leopold died at the young age of 29. This photograph captures a moment in time when Leopold was on the cusp of a life filled with public service and personal happiness. His friendship with Lewis Carroll, one of the most influential figures of the Victorian era, added to his already impressive intellectual circle. Leopold's short life was marked by a deep commitment to improving the world around him, leaving a lasting impact on history. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Victorian era and the lives of its most notable figures. It is a reminder of a time when intellectual pursuits and public service were highly valued, and the lives of the royal family were closely intertwined with the lives of the people they ruled.
