The Prince Albert piercing is named for Prince Albert, the claim being that, when wearing the tight trousers that were fashionable at the time, this piercing allowed the penis to be secured to avoid displaying an unsightly bulge. No contemporary evidence supports this claim and it is believed to have been invented by Doug Malloy to give this piercing a spurious heritage.
