*** About Queen Victoria: Queen Victoria, born on May 24, 1819, was the monarch 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 change within the UK, and was also a period of expansion of the British Empire. Queen Victoria became a symbol of British imperial pride and strict standards of morality and personal conduct. She was married to Prince Albert until his early death, which plunged her into deep mourning and withdrew from public view for an extended period. Her legacy endures in various forms, influencing not just the monarchy but also the cultural and historical contours of the 19th century and beyond.
