He is clearly a disappointment to his father, who had hoped his son would be a new kind of leader, a scholar who knows and understands the world but that is clearly not to be.

As a result, Bertie assumes many of the public duties of the monarch. He proves to be quite popular and works hard at maintaining the positive face of the monarchy. It is not quite what Bertie has in mind, but the Queen refuses any role for him in matters of State. She sees him as a failure and refuses to let him participate in any decision-making, blaming him for Prince Albert's death. The Queen also decides that there is no need to wait the full year of mourning before he can marry, and she pushes him to decide on Alix. He and Princess Alix are married in March 1863 and Alix soon after announces that she is expecting a child, and gives birth to <a href="/wiki/Prince_Albert_Victor,_Duke_of_Clarence_and_Avondale" title="Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale">Prince Eddy</a> prematurely.
