*** About Queen Victoria: Queen Victoria, born in 1819, was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. During her reign, she became a symbol of British imperial pride and strict standards of morality and personal conduct. Her era, known as the Victorian Age, was marked by industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was also a period of expansion of the British Empire. She was married to Prince Albert until his early death in 1861, after which she wore black for the remainder of her life, embodying the era's complex relationship with grief and decorum.
