Prince Albert of Saxe-Altenburg (Albert Heinrich Joseph Carl Viktor Georg Friedrich; 14 April 1843 inMunich – 22 May 1902 inSerrahn) was a German prince of the ducal house ofSaxe-Altenburg.

Prince Albert was the eldest son (third in order of birth but the only one who survived to adulthood) ofPrince Eduard of Saxe-Altenburg (youngest son ofFrederick, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen) and his second wife, Princess Luise CarolineReuss of Greiz.

He entered the Russian army early in life, and attained the rank of Major-General in this service, but subsequently exchanged it for the Prussian army, where he became a general of cavalry.^[1]

He was first married inBerlin on 6 May 1885 toPrincess Marie of Prussia, widow ofPrince Henry of the Netherlands.

They had two daughters:

• Princess Olga Elisabeth Carola Victoria Maria Anna Agnes Antoinette of Saxe-Altenburg (Schloß Albrechtsberg, 17 April 1886 – Münster, 13 January 1955); married on 20 May 1913Karl Frederick, Count of Pückler-Burghauss and Freiherr von Groditz (1886–1945).
• Marie (Schloß Albrechtsberg, 6 June 1888 –Hamburg, 12 November 1947); married on 20 April 1911 Heinrich XXXV, Prince vonReuss of Köstritz (1887–1936, son ofHeinrich VII, Prince Reuss of Köstritz); they divorced in 1921, and Heinrich remarried toPrincess Marie Adelheid of Lippe-Biesterfeld. Marie adopted in 1942 her godson Theodor Franz (Graf Praschma) von Sachsen-Altenburg (1934–2012).

Princess Marie died in 1888 from the effects ofpuerperal fever.A few years later on 13 December 1891, atRemplin, Albert marriedDuchess Helene of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The couple had no children.

Albert was a conspicuous figure in Berlin society, and was a great favorite due to his "clever" mind, genial disposition, pleasant address, and enthusiasm as asportsman.^[2] Marie died in 1888.^[2] Sources reported that the Emperor′s "arbitrary manners" became so intolerable to Albert and others, as they were used to the days of social courtesy under the oldWilhelm I.^[3]
