(1819-1901)
Victoria was the daughter of Edward, the Duke of Kent and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg. She was born in London, Kensington Palace, May 24th, 1819.
In 1837 Queen Victoria took the throne, just eighteen, she refused any influence from her mother and ruled in her own will. She wished to be informed of political matters, although she had no influence in its decisions. She worked well with Lord Melbourne (Prime Minister in the first years of her reign) and England grew socially and economically.
On Feb 10th, 1840, Victoria married her cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Together they had nine children - four sons and five daughters.
The general public did not like the German prince. On Dec. 14th 1861 Albert died from typhoid fever at Windsor Castle. Victoria became depressive and rarely appeared in public.
In 1876 she was crowned Empress of India by Disraeli. In 1887, in name of Victoria, there was a big national celebration of her 50th year as Queen.
Victoria died at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, on 22 January 1901 after a reign of almost 64 years, the longest in British history
Victoria's long reign made an evolution in English politics and the expansion of the British Empire. Queen Victoria is associated with Britain's great age of industrial expansion, economic progress and empire. At her death, they say that Britain had a worldwide empire on which the sun never set.
