On the Season of Admirations storylet, when feeding the bats, one of the results you can get is this:
"I see all sorts while I feed them. A pure black carriage with the royal insignia rattled past after breakfast. What's that like, you think, to mourn someone for so many years? What must it have been like while she still had him?"
I am under the impression both that [spoiler]Prince Albert was saved by the Traitor Empress giving London to the Bazaar, and that he is still alive.[/spoiler] Am I wrong on either or both of these points?

He's dead, but he's fine. The masters messed with the wording of the contract against him, but we haven't really seen enough to describe his condition much more than that.

The Fate-locked story, "A Trade In Faces," offers some more insight on the matter.

To clarify, we get a very brief glimpse of him. He certainly seems to be alive, but that's more Tomb-Colonist alive than regular alive.

I seem to recall:
[spoiler]There was something about how all the royal children seem sickly and weak in a way. My conspiracy theory brain suggested someone there, perhaps the consort, was a vampire feeding on them. What's a good ol Victorian romp through monster-infested hell without a vampire?[/spoiler]

Isn't the royal children being sickly just an excuse for them not showing themselves in public due to being monsters?

By the royal children, I mean the ones that aren't actually the children. The ones you can paint in Persuasive content. The still-children of royals that are not actually the Empress's children.
It's not a very exact term, I should have clarified.

[spoiler]More precisely, towards the end of the story you get the chance to wear a "special" face and go somewhere you wouldn't normally be able to go to. One option is replacing one of the Empress' footmen and serve tea for her and the Consort.[/spoiler]

I contend that the Consort is perfectly fine, post death. And that the Empress is still happily in love with him.
But this is London! As the reigning monarch, she must respect proper decorum!
It would be highly improper to cut mourning short while the Consort remains an important part of the Empress's life. Among other things, the end of deep mourning indicates that a widow is ready to move on and perhaps even marry again. But that would be unthinkable with the Consort constantly at her side! How would she explain the end of deep morning to him when they see each other every day at breakfast?
It would certainly hurt the Consort's feelings, and worse, represent a break with tradition!
Mourning is a necessary part of expressing her love for him. So thus, the Empress will remain in mourning for as long as she loves the Consort, and the Consort remains (dead) by her side. As is right and proper!

I was confused by the carriage too. But I guess it's just not Victorian England without the [s]Queen[/s] Empress in mourning....

Lady of Cold Steel, Lady of the Flit, Lady Alyssana Grey. A formidable woman, hard to read and slow to trust. Darkness lurks inside her.
Alts: (please direct all inquiries to Alys & say who they're for)
-Nikki, the Playful Daredevil, leading the constables on merry chases across London at every available opportunity. It's not a good robbery if you didn't get chased~
-Shylarah, waifish, wide-eyed, painfully foreign, entirely untamed. Her search for a way home now leads her to Parabola. There's something about her...
-Dr. Maxwell Thomas, a kindhearted physician who can't stand to see suffering. Moral to a fault, even to his own detriment. Unlucky in love.
I would rather be taken for a fool than deny aid where it is needed.
-Angie, the Cheeky Sharpshooter. Got her start with the Regiment and proudly operated their cannon for years. Rowdy, rough, and among the best shots in London.
