The death of Prince Albert was not one of great sorrow for the nation, as he was not the most popular indiviual, however the nation grieved alongside Queen Victoria. The Prince Consort and the queen had a fulfilling marriage with nine children, yet their meet-cute was not as romantic, as they were first cousins. 

He passed away at the age of 42 from Typhoid Fever, though some have speculated other diseases like cancer could have also lead to his demise.
