Prince Albert at Dickens on the Strand: History, Humor, and the Man Behind the Character

Portraying Prince Albert at Dickens on the Strand, Joseph Machado steps into history with a blend of charm, humor, and deep knowledge of the Victorian era. In this conversation, we explore the real Albert's influence on technology, culture, and the industrial transformation of Britain—along with the unexpected legacy of his nine children and the Royal Christmas tree tradition. Finally, we step out of character to hear how Joseph came to embrace this role and what it means to bring living history to life on the streets of Galveston.
