Royal history buffs will know well how Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert, loved science and innovation, and we might even think of him as a proto-process engineer.
Stories abound of how, after his marriage to Queen Victoria, he revolutionized the efficient running of the royal households. One in particular tells of how he joined his wife and her companion in a freezing sitting room—the fuel was there, yet the fire remained unlit. When he questioned this, the answer came that the Lord Steward’s men must set the fuel, but only the Lord Chamberlain’s staff could light the fire.
“Wrong answer,” thought Prince Albert, and set about shaking things up, starting with having the same person set the fuel and light the fire. The result of this and other changes he made led not just to the improved comfort of his wife, but smoother running households, including massive cost savings. All hail the Prince!
