Today Is...Queen Victoria Dies

Like many organisations, the British Royal Family has it's flaws. It's bloated, unwanted and largely clueless but that's enough about Prince Andrew, it's his great, great, great nan that this post is concerned with and how her reign of 63 years came to an end.
Being the Queen of Great Britain she had access to all the very best of British things, the finest tea from India sweetened by sugar imported from the Caribbean and the best clothing made from American slave picked cotton and despite eight assassination attempts on her life, she is regarded as her nations most well loved Royal, so well loved that rather than put her on the money or knock her head into the side of a mountain, they named a train station after her.
She came to the throne early at 18 years old after her father and all of her three elder brothers died but nobody questioned it because in the 19th Century there were lots of diseases, plagues and rat poison slipped in cups of tea of relatives back then although her relatives did prove to be a bit of a sore point.
Prince Albert, who was her cousin, and the Queen had nine children, five girls and four boys, with 17 years between the oldest and the youngest but it was some other members of her family that sparked off World War One, a tiff between her grandchildren George of Britain, Wilhelm of Germany and Nicholas of Russia so apart from the 17 million dead and the 70 million in the resulting 2nd World War, it must have made Christmas family gatherings very awkward.
Her legacy then is the very best of British which is not bad for a girl with Saxon parents given a Latin name and who married a German.
