Empress of India

The Empress of India was a title used by Queen Victoria after 1876, symbolizing Britain's rule over India. It reflected the British crown's authority over the Indian subcontinent, which was governed as part of the British Empire. The title aimed to emphasize the imperial connection and Victoria's status as Empress of India, a role that lasted until India gained independence in 1947. It signified British sovereignty and the country's dominance in the region during that period.
