Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. From 1 May 1876, she used the additional title of Empress of India.Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke of Kent and King George III died in 1820, and Victoria was raised under close supervision by her German-born mother Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. She inherited the throne at the age of 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died, leaving no legitimate, surviving children. The United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Privately, Victoria attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments. Publicly, she became a national icon, and was identified with strict standards of personal morality.Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Their nine children married into royal and noble families across the continent, tying them together and earning her the nickname "the grandmother of Europe". After Albert's death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning and avoided public appearances. As a result of her seclusion, republicanism temporarily gained strength, but in the latter half of her reign, her popularity recovered. Her Golden and Diamond Jubilees were times of public celebration.Her reign of 63 years and seven months, which is longer than that of any other British monarch and the longest of any female monarch in history, is known as the Victorian era. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. She was the last British monarch of the House of Hanover. Her son and successor, Edward VII, belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the line of his father. Full Name | Queen Victoria |

# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat; they do not exist. |
2 | It seems to me a defect in our much famed Constitution, to have to part with an admirable Govt like Ld Salisbury's for no question of any importance or any particular reason, merely on account of the number of votes. |
3 | I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of "Women's Rights," with all its attendant horrors... Were women to "unsex" themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen, and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection. |
4 | All marriage is such a lottery - the happiness is always an exchange - though it may be a very happy one - still the poor woman is bodily and morally the husband's slave. That always sticks in my throat. When I think of a merry, happy, and free young girl - and look at the ailing aching state a young wife is generally doomed to - which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage. |
5 | Affairs go on, and all will take some shape or other, but it keeps one in hot water all the time. |
6 | Since it has pleased Providence to place me in this station, I shall do my utmost to fulfill my duty towards my country. [1837] |

1 | The Victoria Embankment part of the Thames in London was named after her in 1870. |
2 | She is associated with the phrase "We are not amused" but there is no direct evidence that she ever said it and Victoria herself denied doing so. Her family and people who knew Victoria said she had a good sense of humour, and smiled and roared with laughter on many occasions. |
3 | Victoria sponge cake was named after her. |
4 | Wrote a letter of condolence to President Abraham Lincoln's widow upon learning of his assassination. Ironically, Great Britain backed the southern states, its main trading partners, in the Civil War. |

6 | Fifth great-grandmother of Prince George of Cambridge and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. |

11 | Cousin of King Leopold II. |
12 | When she first visited Benjamin Disraeli at Hughenden Manor, she ordered the legs of her dining chair to be cut so that her feet would touch the floor when she dined. This chair can still be found in the Manor today. |
13 | On September 22, 1896 - having reigned for 59 years and 97 days - she surpassed her grandfather King George III as the longest-reigning monarch in British history.

18 | The Duke and Duchess of Kent wanted to name their daughter Georgiana Charlotte Augusta Alexandrina Victoria. However, the baby's godfather, the Prince Regent, refused to allow his (George) or his late daughter's (Charlotte Augusta) name to be bestowed upon the possible future monarch. He announced she would be named Alexandrina after her other godfather, Tsar Alexander I. |
19 | Her mother was Prince Albert's aunt, and his father was her uncle. |
20 | Asked Prince Albert to marry her (because she was Queen, he couldn't ask her to marry him) |
21 | Because she carried the gene for hemophilia, speculation ran rampant for decades that Victoria was not fathered by Edward Augustus, The Duke of Kent.
