Born Alexandrina Victoria on May 24, 1819, Queen Victoria's father died at the age of eight. His mother became a dominating influence in his life. As a child, he is said to have been warm and alive. When she was born, Victoria was fifth in the royal line. However, at the death of her father in 1820, Victoria became the heir, since her three surviving uncles - her predecessors in succession - had no legal heir that survived childhood. When King William IV died in June 1837, Victoria became an 18-year-old queen. Victoria rose to the throne at the age of 18 on June 20, 1837, and served until her death at the age of 81 on January 22, 1901. Living in Britain during the 19th century was known as Victorian England because of the long reign of Victoria the inevitable stamp and her person placed the world. His strong principles and personality have matched the season. Victoria died after a long illness on January 22, 1901, at the age of 81. His son, the future king of King Edward VII, and his great-great-grandson, Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, were both sleeping next to him.

QUOTES BY Queen Victoria

An ugly baby is a very nasty object - and the prettiest is frightful.

We will not have failure - only success and new learning.

The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.

Were women to "unsex" themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen, and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection.

We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist.

Give my people plenty of beer, good beer, and cheap beer, and you will have no revolution among them.

Just close your eyes—and think of England.

Nothing will turn a man's home into a castle more quickly and effectively than a dachshund.

Beware of artists, they mix with all classes of society and are therefore most dangerous.

I love peace and quiet, I hate politics and turmoil. We women are not made for governing, and if we are good women, we must dislike these masculine occupations.
