About About the place

The Albert Memorial is a bronze equestrian statue dedicated to Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, sculpted by Sir John Steel in 1876. It stands in the center of Charlotte Square, a privately maintained garden in Edinburgh’s New Town. The statue depicts Prince Albert on horseback, accompanied by figures representing his attendants. Access to the gardens is restricted, primarily for residents, though the statue is visible from the perimeter. The memorial commemorates Prince Albert’s death at the age of 42 and his enduring impact.
