Inspiration and Celebration



Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India

Victoria lived from May 24, 1819 to January 22, 1901 (Died age 81)

She reigned from 1837 – 1901 (64 years). Until recently, Victoria held the record for longest reign of any British monarch and longest reign of any female monarch in history.

Imagined as a sheltered, but optimistic young woman, Bell(e): Little Victoria sports a strong –willed mischievous smile and pale skin reflecting her extremely limited experience and contacts as a sheltered young royal.
