Queen Victoria
In 1876 Queen Victoria became the empress of India?
Queen Victoria was not Emperor of India, as she was obviously a woman. She was Empress of India. The title Empress of India was taken by Queen Victoria on May 1, 1876. She was proclaimed Empress of India at her Delhi Durbar on January 1, 1877 (unfortunately she was not able to attend).
From 24 May 1819 - 20 June 1837 - Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandrina Victoria of Kent From 20 June 1837 - 22 January 1901 - Her Majesty The Queen From 1 May 1876 - 22 January 1901 - Her Imperial Majesty The Queen-Empress At the end of her reign, Queen Victoria's full style and title were "Her Majesty Victoria, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India."
Britain had no King in 1876. Queen Victoria was monarch, with Prince Albert as her consort.
Queen Victoria was Empress of India from May 1876 to January 1901, so 24 years.
After the battle of the Second Anglo-Sikh War in 1849, Queen Victoria assumed the title of "Empress of India." This title was formalized in 1876 during her reign, reflecting British imperial authority over the Indian subcontinent. The title symbolized the British monarchy's role in governing India and solidified the connection between the British crown and its Indian territories.
Queen Victoria was declared Empress of India in 1876, a title that symbolized British rule over the Indian subcontinent. This declaration was part of a broader effort to consolidate British authority following the Indian Rebellion of 1857. While she was not made an "Indian princess" in the traditional sense, this title positioned her as a symbolic figure of the British Empire in India.
