Answer: Alexandrina Victoria

Victoria was born in Kensington Palace on 24 May 1819 and was christened Alexandrina Victoria but, from birth, was known as Victoria.

Before she became queen, she was formally addressed as Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria of Kent.

Answer: The Kensington System

The Kensington System was designed by John Conroy, who was a servant of Victoria's father and was fixated with gaining power and influence.

Its rules meant that Victoria shared a room with her mother and was never allowed any time alone.

When Victoria became queen, her first request was to have an hour by herself.

Answer: 18

Victoria became queen on 20 June 1837, just four weeks after her 18th birthday, following the death of her uncle, William IV.

But she is far from being the youngest British monarch at the start of their reign.

Mary, Queen of Scots, ascended the throne in 1542 when she was just six days old.

Answer: £385,000

This is equivalent to approximately £31.5 million today.

Victoria also earned her fortune from inherited private estates and the Duchy of Lancaster.

This is an ancient body responsible for managing an investment portfolio of land and property, the main purpose of which is to provide income for the sovereign.

Answer: Nine

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had four boys and five girls.

The eldest, Victoria, was born in 1840 and the youngest, Beatrice, was born in 1856.

Queen Victoria was survived by six children, 40 grandchildren and 37 great-grandchildren.

Answer: Isle of Wight

Osborne House is near East Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, and was built in the Italianate style as its views of The Solent reminded Prince Albert of the Bay of Naples.

'It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot,' said Victoria of the property.

Answer: By using a bathing machine

Victoria regularly went in the sea at Osborne beach, where she had a bathing machine.

She would get changed in the wheeled hut, which would then be run into The Solent, allowing her to descend the steps into the water without being seen in her swimming costume.

Victoria's bathing machine, which has been fully restored, can still be seen at Osborne today.

Answer: A Swiss cottage

The cottage was built by Prince Albert between 1853 and 1854 for his nine young children.

The two-storey chalet, which has its own gardens, is where the royal children learnt skills such as cooking, gardening, building and even managing accounts.

The children filled up a room in the cottage with their collections of natural history specimens and antiquities - a separate museum to house their objects was later built nearby.

Answer: 63 years

Victoria was queen from 1837 until her death in 1901 - the total length of her reign was 63 years, seven months and two days.

At the time, this made her the longest-reigning British monarch ever, although the length of her great-great-granddaughter Elizabeth II's reign surpassed Victoria's in September 2015.

Answer: Edward VII

After her death, Victoria was succeeded by her eldest son, Edward VII.

He was king of Great Britain from 1901 to 1910, after being heir to Victoria for almost 60 years.

Edward was himself succeeded by his son, who became George V.
