Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (19th century)
The Almanach as it stands today is the culmination of an ambitious project which follows the restoration of this historic title by the head of the original publishing dynasty; a title held by the same family since the 1760's.
The Almanach de Gotha was published continuously from 1763-1944 and became the most influential Royal Genealogical Reference book ever produced, its Committee of reigning kings and princes oversaw what was to become a unique and unrivalled work. On 16 March 1998, following a break of fifty-four years, the 1998 182nd Almanach de Gotha was released at a Book Launch held at Claridge's Hotel in London.
