Queen Victoria, born in 1819, gave a whole era her name. For 63 years (longer than any monarch before her) she reigned over Britain, which under her rose to become the largest empire in history. In 1877 she became Empress of India. Her marriage to Prince Albert was a great love; after his early death she wore mourning for decades. Through her nine children she became the „grandmother of Europe“, related to almost every royal house. Good to know: It stands for industrialisation, strict morals and the rise of the empire. The term is still used for the style, furniture and morals of that age. For a long time she was Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. Only Elizabeth II surpassed this record in 2015. India was seen as the „jewel in the crown“ of the empire. Victoria herself never visited India. The German prince was her most important adviser. The custom of the Christmas tree in Britain goes back partly to him. She was therefore called the „Widow of Windsor“. Her long withdrawal from public life drew criticism at times.
