*** About Queen Victoria: Queen Victoria, born in 1819, ascended to the British throne at the tender age of eighteen and reigned until her death in 1901, making her tenure one of the longest of any British monarch. Her era was marked by industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was also a period of expansion of the British Empire. Known for her strict standards of personal morality and family values, Queen Victoria has often been portrayed as a symbol of British imperial pride and strict social mores, yet she also had a softer side, marked by a deep love and dependence on her husband, Prince Albert. After his early death, Victoria went into extended mourning, which influenced the social etiquette of the time.
