Helen Hayes in Victoria Regina (1951), an episode of the American series Robert Montgomery Presents based on the play by Housman Following a custom she maintained throughout her widowhood, Victoria spent the Christmas of 1900 at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Rheumatism in her legs had rendered her disabled, and her eyesight was clouded by cataracts. [200] Through early January, she felt "weak and unwell", [201] and by mid-January she was "drowsy... dazed, [and] confused". [202] Her favourite pet Pomeranian, Turi, was laid on her bed as a last request. [203] She died aged 81 on 22 January 1901, at half past six in the evening, in the presence of her eldest son, Albert Edward, and grandson WilhelmII. Albert Edward immediately succeeded as EdwardVII. [204] Poster proclaiming a day of mourning in Toronto on the day of Victoria's funeral By 1836, Victoria's maternal uncle Leopold, who had been King of the Belgians since 1831, hoped to marry her to Prince Albert, [23] the son of his brother Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Leopold arranged for Victoria's mother to invite her Coburg relatives to visit her in May 1836, with the purpose of introducing Victoria to Albert. [24] William IV, however, disapproved of any match with the Coburgs, and instead favoured the suit of Prince Alexander of the Netherlands, second son of the Prince of Orange. [25] Victoria was aware of the various matrimonial plans and critically appraised a parade of eligible princes. [26] According to her diary, she enjoyed Albert's company from the beginning. After the visit she wrote, "[Albert] is extremely handsome; his hair is about the same colour as mine; his eyes are large and blue, and he has a beautiful nose and a very sweet mouth with fine teeth; but the charm of his countenance is his expression, which is most delightful." [27] Alexander, on the other hand, she described as "very plain". [28] Fulford, Roger, ed.

Melbourne's support in the House of Commons weakened through the early years of Victoria's reign, and in the 1841 general election the Whigs were defeated. Peel became prime minister, and the ladies of the bedchamber most associated with the Whigs were replaced. [75] Earliest known photograph of the Queen, here with her eldest daughter, Princess Victoria, c. 1845 [76] Victoria's eldest daughter became empress consort of Germany in 1888, but she was widowed a little over three months later, and Victoria's eldest grandchild became German Emperor as WilhelmII. Victoria and Albert's hopes of a liberal Germany would go unfulfilled, as Wilhelm was a firm believer in autocracy. Victoria thought he had "little heart or Zartgefühl [tact] – and... his conscience & intelligence have been completely wharped [ sic]". [188] She has been a darling of the Melbourne crowd since she lost in the final two years ago to Kim Clijsters. During that run and again this year, she has entertained fans with more witticisms about her husband and former coach Jiang Shan, who she once said was disrupting her sleep because of his snoring. Reddit says a it fires on 1.2. The weird thing is, I've seen people report it won't work on all versions. But I've seen people get the achievement to trigger on all versions.
