on Victoria's life and reign.
Victoria was born on May 24, 1819, in Kensington Palace, London. She was the only child of Edward, Duke of Kent, and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. She grew up in a secluded environment, mostly educated by tutors and her mother.
After the death of her father and her uncle, King William IV, Victoria ascended to the throne on June 20, 1837, at the age of 18. She became the first monarch of the House of Hanover and the second-longest-reigning British monarch, after Queen Elizabeth II.
During her reign, Britain saw significant industrial and economic growth, social reforms, and expansion of empire. Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1840, and they had nine children together.
In 1861, Prince Albert died of typhoid fever, and Victoria plunged into a deep mourning that lasted for years. She withdrew from public life and wore mourning clothes until the end of her life.
Victoria's reign also saw significant political developments, including the expansion of the right to vote and the formation of the Commonwealth. Victoria was also a patron of the arts, and her reign saw the rise of the Victorian aesthetic and the Arts and Crafts movement.
Victoria died on January 22, 1901, after a reign of 63 years, seven months, and two days. She was succeeded by her son, Edward VII. Victoria's reign is often referred to as the Victorian era, a period of significant societal and cultural changes in Britain.
