Information" href="http://primaryfacts.com/1507/what-is-great-britain-facts-and-information/">British</a> monarch in history. She was Queen from June, 1837 until her death in January, 1901.</li> <li>She was born on May 24, 1819 and married her first cousin, Prince Albert in 1840. The couple had 9 children, all of whom married into European royal families, and Victoria was often known as the grandmother of Europe.</li> </ul> <p></p> <ul> <li>Although she had 9 children, Victoria was never happy at having to go through the experience of giving birth. One time she took chloroform, which helped many women realize they could give birth without pain.</li> </ul> <p><a href="http://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Queen-Victoria.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1592" src="http://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Queen-Victoria.jpg" alt="Queen Victoria" width="349" height="475" srcset="https://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Queen-Victoria.jpg 349w, https://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Queen-Victoria-220x300.jpg 220w" sizes="(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px"/></a></p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-137" data-inserter-version="2"></div> <ul> <li>She was the first monarch to live at <a title="Buckingham Palace: Facts About the Home of the British Monarch" href="http://primaryfacts.com/1425/buckingham-palace-facts-about-the-home-of-the-british-monarch/">Buckingham Palace</a> in London. Queen Victoria’s coronation took place on June 28, 1838.</li> <li>Queen Victoria was a prolific writer, writing about 2,500 words every day during her adult life.

She also did not like using the newly invented telephone.</li> <li>She enjoyed looking at art and was quite a talented artist herself. On several birthdays and anniversaries, she gave her husband a painting depicting nude, or near nude women.</li> <li>Although the common image of Queen Victoria is of a serious looking woman, she had her fun side. She enjoyed a good joke, going to the opera, dancing and playing the piano.</li> <li>Queen Victoria was devastated when her husband died in December, 1861.

Today, it is still the highest award for bravery, not only in Britain, but in Canada and Australia.</li> <li>Although she treated her staff well, she did not care for Prime Minister Gladstone. Often, she would remain standing so that he had to stand too, despite the fact that he was in his 80s.</li> <li>The Penny Black, the first adhesive postage stamp, was released in Britain on 1st May 1840. It was designed by William Mulready and shows Queen Victoria in profile.</li> </ul> <p><a href="http://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Penny-Black.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1593" src="http://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Penny-Black.jpg" alt="Penny Black" width="250" height="290"/></a></p> <ul> <li>In the UK, hundreds of streets and squares are named after Queen Victoria, and there are many statues to her.
