Interesting Facts & Trivia:

Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837 after the death of her uncle William IV and became the first Monarch to take up residence at Buckingham Palace. Victoria also started the tradition of a bride wearing a white dress at her wedding. Before Victoria's wedding a bride would wear her best dress of no particular colour. Queen Victoria and her husband Albert had 42 grandchildren and their current descendants number into the hundreds. As of 2009, the current & former European monarchs descended from Victoria are: Queen Elizabeth II (as well as Prince Phillip), King Harald V of Norway, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, King Juan Carlos I of Spain (as well as his wife), and the deposed kings Constantine II of Greece (as well as his wife) and Michael of Romania. By 1843 at least three assassination attempts had been made on Queen Victoria’s life. Her reign lasted 63 years, 7 months and 2 days, longer than that of any other British monarch before or since. Queen Victoria outlived 3 of her 9 children, and 11 of her 42 grandchildren. Since Victoria disliked black funerals, London was instead festooned in purple and white.
