Queen Victoria seems to have captured the hearts of her people in a way that few, if any, British monarchs have done before or since. Today, the epoch that bears her name continues to fascinate us. Victoriana and Victorian design keep cycling between "antiquated" and "trendy." (One can only hope that this site will manage to remain in the "trendy" category.) We yearn to live in a Victorian-style home; when traveling we look for Victorian B&Bs, Victorian tea-shops. And we do still love those fashions - except for those pesky corsets...

Of course, Victoria wasn't the only monarch of the Victorian age. This section looks first at the life of the Queen and her family, then at such topics as the royal family's possessions, pets, homes and hobbies. We then move on to look at other royals around the world - the rulers of Europe, and of more distant and exotic regions. Finally, this section looks at historic royalty, both in Britain and around the world.
