This series is honestly better than the history channels, this one is far more human and detailed personably. Great job! Gonna buy the book

Albert was never a well man. They also did not fall passionately in love at first meeting that sort of thing is one in a trillion. They grew to love each other very deeply but not so much in the beginning.

Common enough, at the time. Especially in the realm of dynastic politcs. Remember, they didn't posess our modern understanding of genetics. They knew that several "close marriages" in close succession was generally bad, but lacked understanding as to why it was bad and to which degree it should be avoided. Mental developmental defects were generally written off as hereditary "madness" and physical deformaty was politely ignored or intentionally hidden by court doctors.
