Prince Albert finding his pregnant wife Queen Victoria sexy
Looking through Uncrowned King: The Life of Prince Albert by Stanley Weintraub for a research project and just absolutely love this (pg. 112):
>Victoria’s love, however angry she was with herself for her pregnancy, was at least as capacious. She and Albert, whatever their lack of sexual experience, had quickly discovered a compatibility between the sheets that would last. Despite carping from outsiders about the Queen’s plainness, Albert would write to his brother (22 August 1840), 'Victoria has changed much to her advantage ... She was lovely to look at yesterday at dinner. She had a very low-necked dress, with a bunch of roses at her breast which was swelling up from her dress.' Some of the change was the radiance of her despised pregnancy, and the bust enlargement which resulted, but Albert's pleasure was obvious.
