Who Was Queen Victoria?

Her reign of 63 years and seven months is known as the Victorian Era, a period of industrial, cultural, scientific, and political change that was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire.

Publicly, she became a national icon, but privately, Who Was Queen Victoria?
