Britain's longest-reigning monarch at the time, Queen Victoria reigned over the British Empire for almost 64 years. She came to the throne at the age of 18 and married her cousin, Prince Albert, two years later. The pair had nine children, many of whom ended up marrying into royal families across Europe. Victoria and Albert's marriage was a happy one and Victoria was devastated when Albert died in 1861. Together, they changed the face of the royal family, becoming heavily involved in philanthropy, grand ceremonies and royal duties. Queen Victoria died in 1901, at the dawn of the 20th century.
