It was Queen Victoria who reigned 1837 to 1901. Victoria was at odds with many Victorian values. She deplored industrialisation and the railways, but she was prepared to use the Royal Train for her excursions to Balmoral and other country retreats. Victoria kept the carriage blinds drawn on her journeys to avoid viewing the most industrialised and less savoury parts of her kingdom. She hated the rise of democracy and felt that she should be able to appoint a Prime Minister of her own choosing. She was aghast at the passing of the Married Women’s Property Acts, saying that they would undermine the basis of the family, of which the man was the head. She relished the trappings of monarchy, particularly the title Empress of India, but, during her reign, the Crown lost all but the semblance of power.
