Yes.. Prince Albert revived the piercing's popularity, hence the name. The purpse of the piercing was originally used as a chastity device on uncircumcised men. piercing through the uthera into the foreskin would make engorgement painful.
Prince Albert revived the popularity int he Victorian area when men preferred the look of incredibly tight pants. The piercing made it men able to 'anchor' their member to their thigh by running a string through the piercing and around the leg. Making it easier to achieve that tight sleek look.

The Prince Albert piercing (PA) is an effortless sort of male genital piercing. The PA pierces the penis from the exterior of the frenulum and into the urethra. there is likewise the “opposite Prince Albert piercing” which enters for the period of the urethra and exits by a hollow pierced in the precise of the glans. A nerve kit runs alongside the centre of the frenulum. on an identical time as some piercers could p.c. to stay away from the kit, others do not. The piercing could be based if the bearer is circumcised. otherwise, the piercing would be finished to the part by way of fact the exterior in the area desires to have the potential to dynamically reposition itself. The PA heals extra immediately than many different piercings, by way of fact the area is very vascular, and the tissue being pierced is comparatively elastic. some have faith that the common bathing of the piercing with urine, that's often sterile, contributes to the healing technique. Infections of Prince Alberts are somewhat uncommon. preliminary healing usually takes from one to 2 weeks, with finished healing taking as much as 9 months or extra.

A Prince Albert watch chain comes to mind for some reason. A watch would be in one pocket, with a connecting chain linked through a button hole and then the fob end would be in another pocket. The chain would be draped like a garland across the waistcoat.
Maybe the piercing fraternity sort of adapted the above?
Why not ask a piercer?

Prince Albert was a German. In Victorian times, the German army officers wore metal headware with a vertical spike on top. Thus, spike in the helmet.
And, if you believe that, you will believe anything :)

Yes - because Prince Albert was known, in good old English, as being a bit of a plonker (idiot, fool, etc)
Let's face it, anyone who sticks something through their willy has got to be a bit weird - if not mad.
