Actually Albert made a point of interacting with his kids exactly the opposite of standard Victorian child-rearing: he was incredibly involved in their education, made sure they had a lot of time to play, and spent time with them so much that even as adults, when the kids discussed their childhoods with Albert with each other, they would speak with Albert's German accent.

Unfortunately with Bertie both Albert and Victoria had the misfortune of being completely uninformed about children and the way they develop (Victoria actually thought her first baby had a learning disability because she would suck on Victoria's bracelet. At 8 months old) and putting too much into the fact that Bertie would eventually become king. They decided early on that he was stupid and lazy (didn't help his older sister was the opposite) and that's what he heard all his life, with him being immoral tacked on too as he got older (which yeah, he was kind of a slut.)

It seems wildly significant that they clearly named Bertie after his father so that England would eventually have a King Albert, and instead he took the regnal name of Edward.
