From my previous COVE contribution we can see that Queen Victoria had an ardent love for her husband, Prince Albert. He passed away in 1861 and she mourned his death very publicly for forty years, until her death in 1901.When Albert died, he was buried in The Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore. Frogmore received its name from the wet property that it was built on and the Mausoleum has struggled with water damage for years but despite the damage, it is a beautiful building. A likeness of Prince Albert was carved out of granite and placed above his burial. He is portrayed in military uniform and Queen Victoria had one made for herself as well so they could have a companion piece and could be laid to rest together after her death. The Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore is closed to the public and is located less than a half mile away from Windsor Castle.
