Queen Victoria's uncle, Leopold I of Belgium, was the first King of the Belgians, reigning from 1831 until his death in 1865. He was a member of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha dynasty and played a significant role in the establishment of Belgium as an independent state. Leopold was also a key figure in European politics, promoting liberal reforms and fostering relationships between various royal houses. His marriage to Louise of Orléans further strengthened ties between Belgium and France.
