Leopold

The youngest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Prince Leopold was born on April 7, 1853, but a blood disease kept the young royal isolated during his childhood. When he was older, the rebellious Leopold left home for Oxford University, worrying the queen, who wanted her son to lead a quiet life. Because of his determination and strength of character, he refused to stay sheltered and instead led a full life, becoming a supporter of education and the arts, traveling to other continents, marrying and becoming a father of two.
