I have some recollection of AL Lloyd saying that the original liberator character was Prince Rupert and that it dated from the civil war.
Prince Albert apparently wasn't all that popular a character, and its doubtful whether he would have been awarded the doing of a good deed like that by the popular acclaim.
However I have no scholarship to back up any of that.
