Her grandfather was George III, and her father was his 4th son. Her uncle George IV had no children, so when he died, his brother William IV became king. William IV had no children either, so George and William's niece Victoria was declared heir, and became queen on William's death on June 20, 1837.
Reportedly, William IV did not like Victoria's mother, and did everything he could to stay alive past Victoria's 18th birthday, so that Victoria would not need a regent to rule on her behalf.
She became Queen because she was the niece of King William IV. William IV did not have any legitimate children who could take over the throne after he was gone so when he died in 1837 Victoria became Queen at 18
