Queen Victoria, 1819-1901
Born at Kensington Palace,
the daughter if Edward the Duke of Kent, King George's III fourth son,
Alexandria Victoria became Queen at the death of her uncle, King William
IV, in 1837. Although she never visited Canada, her son Edward, Prince
of Wales
(later King Edward VII),
toured the country extensively in 1860. She chose the site of the
national capital, Ottawa, in 1857. During her long and exemplary
reign of some sixty-three years, she came to be regarded with the same
devotion and affection by the Canadian people as by her subjects in Great
Britain. |
