Key facts - Victoria and Albert bought the Osborne estate in 1845, and built a new mansion here as an escape from court life in London and Windsor. - The royal family took delight in their seaside home and each year spent as much time as possible here and at Balmoral, celebrating many special occasions, including Victoria and Albert’s birthdays, at Osborne. - Victoria used Osborne for more than 50 years, finding solace here after Albert’s death in 1861. She entertained visiting kings and queens and ministers at the house as well as her own extensive family. - Today, the story of a marriage, a family and an empire is revealed in the richly decorated rooms. Visitors can see even Osborne’s most private rooms, including the children’s nursery and the bedroom where Victoria died in 1901. - The Italianate design of the house, in which Albert was closely involved, became known as ‘the Osborne style’ and was imitated throughout the British empire. - Albert also took a keen interest in the gardens and wider estate, and much of the planting today is to his designs.
