*** About Queen Victoria: Queen Victoria, born in 1819, was the queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. Her reign, known as the Victorian era, was marked by industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military changes within the United Kingdom, and was also a period of expansion of the British Empire. Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke and the King 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 a young age after her three uncles, who were ahead of her in the line of succession, died without legitimate heirs. Her 63-year-long reign is one of the longest in British history.
