Victoria (Queen)

Queen Victoria was the monarch of the United Kingdom from 1837 to 1901, making her one of the longest-reigning British monarchs. Her reign, known as the Victorian Era, was marked by industrial expansion, cultural change, and the expansion of the British Empire. She became a symbol of British imperial pride and moral values. Victoria's strict standards of propriety influenced society, and she is often associated with middle-class ideals. Her marriage to Prince Albert and their nine children reinforced the importance of family in her image. Following her death, the Victorian Era is remembered for its distinctive art, literature, and social reforms.
