Victoria
Queen Victoria (24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901), born Alexandrina Victoria of the House of Hanover, was the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death. From 1876, she also took the title of Empress of India.
Her reign of sixty-three years became known as the Victorian era; marked by the Industrial Revolution and Pax Britannica, it was a period of great expansion for the British Empire, and was consequently a period of significant cultural, political, scientific, and military change across the globe.[1]
Biography
In 1868, while hosting a ball at Buckingham Palace, Victoria had the pleasure of meeting Evie Frye, who was introduced by Mary Anne Disraeli. Victoria remarked that the young Frye was behind the theft of William Ewart Gladstone's carriage, but made no effort to have her arrested, instead telling the young woman to enjoy the ball, especially the cake.[2]
The next day, Victoria met with Evie, her brother Jacob and Henry Green, having been told of how they thwarted a plot against her life by Sergeant Frederick Abberline. In recognition of their deeds, she knighted the trio into the Order of the Sacred Garter. Before departing their company, Victoria reminded Evie that she saved some cake for her.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
