From May 1, 1876, she used the additional title of Empress of India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in 1840. Their nine children all married into royal and noble families across the continent, tying them together and earning her the nickname \"the grandmother of Europe\". After Albert's death in 1861, Victoria plunged into deep mourning, wore black for the remainder of her life and avoided public appearances. She rarely set foot in London in the following years and her seclusion earned her the name \"widow of Windsor\".  As a result of her seclusion, the monarchy lost favor with many British citizens, but in the latter half of her reign, her popularity recovered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 50th anniversary of her reign, her Golden Jubilee, was a time of public celebration. On June 20, 1887, Queen Victoria began her Golden Jubilee celebration by taking her breakfast outdoors under the trees at Frogmore, where her beloved husband Prince Albert had been buried. She then traveled by train from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace for a royal banquet that evening. Fifty foreign kings and princes, along with the governing heads of Britain's overseas colonies and dominions, attended. She wrote in her diary: \"Had a large family dinner. All the Royalties assembled in the Bow Room, and we dined in the Supper-room, which looked splendid with the buffet covered with the gold plate. The table was a large horseshoe one, with many lights on it.\u003csup\u003e  \u003c\/sup\u003eThe King of Denmark took me in, and Willy of Greece sat on my other side. The Princes were all in uniform, and the Princesses were all beautifully dressed. Afterwards we went into the Ballroom, where my band played.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer reign of 63 years and seven months is known as the Victorian era.  It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43981615235185,"sku":"614472","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0165\/2136\/files\/CelaryVase-1.jpg?v=1786373458","url":"https:\/\/poshchicago.com\/products\/antique-queen-victoria-commemorative-1887-jubilee-triangular-glass-vase","provider":"P.O.S.H.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
