After all, for the past few years, he knew that his father, uncle, and aunt had tacitly agreed in their hearts that he would become his cousin Victoria's husband in the future.
Albert did not particularly resist the family's arrangements.
Firstly, because unlike his brother Ernest, who needed to inherit the Duke of Coburg title from the family, as the youngest son, he would eventually be sent out as a representative of the Saxon-Coburg-Gotha family to marry into other European royal families.
Since he could not decide his marriage by birth, what difference did it make whom he married?
At least he was relatively familiar with his cousin Victoria, so marrying her was far better than marrying those princesses he had never met and had no feelings for.
Secondly, as the second son, he basically couldn't inherit anything substantial from his father.
Therefore, the woman he married would largely determine his future living standards and social status.
