QUEEN VICTORIA

QUEEN VICTORIA

Victoria became queen in 1837 at the age of eighteen and ruled for 64 years, longer than any other British Monarch, giving her name to the Victorian Age. The British loved her because she was an intelligent, dedicated and responsible queen, who was interested in all aspects of British life. Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, her great love, and was a devoted wife and mother of nine children. Family values and morality were extremely important to Victoria and Albert, and they were able to set an example which the people followed. When Victoria died, in 1901, the nation mourned the loss of a popular and respected queen.
