I was afraid of this . . .

WHICH FAMOUS QUEEN WERE YOU IN A PAST LIFE?

You were Queen Victoria. Ascending to the throne in the tumultuous Industrial Revolution in England, Victoria ruled in a time where progress was at its highest pace. She was the first English monarch to have her picture taken by the revolutionary camera and she strategically married off all of her children and grandchildren to secure alliances within and outside of Europe. She was also a great believer in morality and family and was keen to uphold an image of purity and of a close knit family. When her much loved husband died, she remained in deep mourning for the rest of her life, always wearing black even many years after his death. She was a very stable and sensible woman who went on to become the longest serving ever English monarch and one of the most popular.

When I saw this quiz, and started answering the questions, I knew I was going to get crazy Queen Victoria. The only thing that I am willing to admit that I agree with is that she was the first one to make white wedding dresses fashionable. And I love my wedding dress!! BTW, ever seen a picture of Queen Victoria?

As I look for pictures to horrify all my readers, I found some that show her in a different light. She was quite beautiful when she was young. Either that, or the artists were afraid she'd order their heads cut off if they made an ugly portrait of her!

I'm getting angry at these quizzes!
