Queen Victoria was born with the name Alexandrina Victoria on May 24, 1819, in Kensington Palace, London. Victorias mother was Victoria Mary Louisa, daughter of the duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. ... Because William IV had no legal children, his niece Victoria became inheritor apparent to the British crown upon his accession in 1830. On June 20, 1837, with the death of William IV, Victoria became queen at the age of 18.
Early in her power Victoria acquired a serious worry of questionable activities of state, guided by her first prime minister, William Lamb. ...
In 1840 Victoria married her first cousin, Albert, ruler of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who she had known for about four years.

The first of their nine children was Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise, later queen of Germany.
