The prince reigned for 71 years, from 1858 to 1929, making him one of the longest reigning monarchs in history.

Unfortunately the photo’s not on display at the moment, but it is among 75,000 images that you can purchase on the fantastic National Portrait Gallery website.

The prints make great Christmas presents and there’s a huge choice: you can buy anything from a poster of Kate Moss to a print of Henry VIII by Hans Holbein the Younger. 

For more details visit the National Portrait Gallery’s online shop.
