Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria reigned over the United Kingdom from 1837 to 1901 and is known for her significant influence on fashion, family traditions, and mourning rituals. Her choice of a white wedding dress made this color the standard for brides, and her family's Christmas traditions helped popularize the Christmas tree. Victoria also played a crucial role in changing attitudes towards childbirth by openly discussing her experiences with chloroform anesthesia, promoting a more comfortable birthing process. Her prolonged mourning for Prince Albert established new standards for grief that resonate to this day.
Born on May 24, 1819 (206 years old)
