Queen Victoria maintained a close connection with Canada throughout her reign, partly due to the influence of her father, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn. Prince Edward played a pivotal role in Canada’s formation, and his legacy endures in the naming of Prince Edward Island in his honor.
Victoria’s reign coincided with Canada’s establishment as a nation in 1867. To this day, she is remembered for her contributions to the country’s history and her enduring legacy.
The Victorian era (1837–1901) was a time of profound transformation, marked by progress in industry, science, art, and politics. This period saw significant technological advancements, shifts in social norms, and cultural evolution.
