Description
At 18 years old, Queen Victoria became one of the youngest monarchs in British history. Her reign lasted for an impressive 63 years and seven months, shaping the country's industrial, cultural, scientific, and political landscape.
Despite being raised under close supervision and near isolation, Victoria went on to marry her first cousin, Albert, and have nine children who married into European royal families. As she earned the nickname "The Grandmother of Europe" and the title "Empress of India", the British Empire expanded its reach across the globe.
But what was life like behind the scenes? Who Was Queen Victoria? explores the private side of this iconic monarch, revealing a complex and multifaceted individual who defied expectations and became a national icon in her own right.
