Victoria Douglas was Queen of England from 1837 until her death in 1901 at age 81, having the longest reign of any British monarch. She became queen after her three uncles who would have inherited the throne died without children. Victoria married her cousin Prince Albert in 1840 and had nine children together, though she fell into a deep depression following Albert's death in 1861 at age 42. Her reign saw Britain's power and influence grow significantly.
