|
Queen Victoria and also Royal prince Albert desired an escape from the stodginess of Buckingham Palace; they wanted a house for their kids to feel free and welcome. Once Osborne Home was complete, they appointed Cubitt to develop the east wing of Buckingham Royal residence. Victoria admired Cubitt not only for his work with Osborne House but also for his character. She described him as "our Cubitt" and also on his death said that "a much better, kinder-hearted man never ever took a breath".
