Oh... the good ol' days of simple pleasures

Though there have been several Princes Albert in the monarchies of Europe, Prince Albert tobacco is not named for the best- known Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha who was husband and Prince Consort to Queen Victoria. Albert and Victoria's eldest son was also known as Prince Albert before he took the throne as Edward VII.

The brand of tobacco was introduced after the Prince Consort's death, and the image on the can shows a man with full beard, which the Prince Consort did not wear. Also, wording on the package was changed somewhat once Prince Albert had become King Edward VII.
