She was made Empress of India by the Royal Titles Act of 1876. In other words, it was the British parliament that was responsible for this. The initiative came from the Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli. The main reason given was that Britain was one of the few great powers that didn't call its reigning monarch an emperor (or empress). Some Members of Parliament voted against, saying it was like something out of a comic Opera. :)
