elizabethwoodvilles:HISTORY MEME:2/2 Queens: Queen Victoria ♔Victoria was born in 1819, daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. She succeeded her uncle in 1837 at the age of 18 and her reign spanned the rest of the century, ending in 1901 when she passed away. Her monarch lasted 63 years which, to this day, remains to be the longest ruling monarch. In 1840 she married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Goth and the two of them were married until Prince Albert’s death in 1861. The two of them had nine children together, many of whom married into royalty themselves. Victoria relied heavily upon her husband and was devastated by his death, mourning him for the rest of her life. Her Golden Jubilee in 1887 and her Diamond Jubilee 1897 were celebrated with great enthusiasm. Victoria died in January 1901 in the Isle of Wight. -- source link
