Victoria was born 24th of May in 1819. When her uncle
died, leaving no children Victoria was crowned Queen of England at
the age of 18. She married Albert, son of Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
in February 1840. Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years, 7 months and
2 days. During this time Victoria would see her empire at the
height of its power as she ruled over 450 million people. Victoria
