The Royal Collection also holds over 500 works by Prince Albert, including some of his childhood drawings and the etchings made after his marriage.

Prince Albert's first drawing master was Christoph Florschütz, the tutor to the prince and his older brother Ernest from 1823. Prince Albert's early drawings mostly show military scenes or depictions of history. Although a competent draughtsman, Prince Albert's self-imposed rigorous work load meant that he had less time to produce finished works after his marriage to Queen Victoria in 1840.  

One main exception to this was printmaking. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert learned to etch together as newlyweds, and were taught by professional artists including George Hayter and Edwin Landseer. The royal couple took pleasure in working together, etching a total of 93 plates (both separately and together) during the 1840s. In 1846 the royal couple also tried their hands at lithography, under the supervision of Edwin Dalton, son-in-law of the miniaturist William Ross.

These etchings and lithographs were privately printed and intended for personal enjoyment, occasionally being presented as gifts to family and friends. Despite this dissemination there are over 800 prints by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the Royal Collection.
