When ill, doubtless she would have been attended by one of them.

The last moments of H.R.H. the Prince Consort.

No event in which Queen Victoria's medical household was involved caused more controversy than the unexpected death of Albert, Prince Consort, at Windsor Castle on the night of Saturday 14 December 1861.
