  1. which Queen Elizabeth are you referring to?

    Since Victoria's reign the monarch has had only, in Walter Bagehot's words, "the right to be consulted, the right to advise, and the right to warn".

    Victoria was the first known carrier of haemophilia in the royal line.

    Innovations of the Victorian era include postage stamps, the first of which—the Penny Black (issued 1840)—featured an image of the Queen, and the railway, which Victoria was the first British Sovereign to use.

    Victoria's cypher is the only one to appear on postboxes without a crown above it

    She surpassed her grandfather King George III as the longest-lived British monarch when she reached the age of 81 years and 240 days on 19 January 1901, only three days before her death. She has since been surpassed by her great-great-granddaughter Elizabeth II on December 21, 2007. Victoria spent over three-quarters of her life as Queen, the highest ratio of any British monarch

    Prince Albert introduced Christmas trees to the court and this was soon copied by Victoria's subjects

    Queen Victoria started the tradition of a bride wearing a white dress at her wedding. Before Victoria's wedding a bride would wear her best dress of no particular colour

    Queen Victoria was the first sovereign to take up residence at Buckingham Palace, in 1837.

    Victoria was unpopular during the start of her reign, only gaining the public favour from 1880's onwards

    ah theres a big difference in reigns between Elizabeth I n Elizabeth II, namely about 400 years lol.

    i know Elizabeth I, people were relieved when she died, her popularity never grew until after her death with the Protestants condemning James I of England (James IV of Scotland) for being a Catholic sympathiser. Elizabeth experiences many problems with international relations oftening being cautious when dealing with foreign affairs (her relationships with other countries were largely ruled by fear, and Victorias by blood or friendship) where Victoria arguably had the best foreign affairs,as many of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren married into Royalty or Nobility from Europe, and some into other countries, Victoria was also Empress of India.

    Elizabeth I never married where Victoria is said to have adored Prince Albert and was constantly mourning his passing.

    oh yes not to mention that Queen Elizabeth I of England was the only Elizabeth I (Scotland never had a Queen Elizabeth) and the last female monarch to rule England alone (as previously mentioned, King James IV of Scotland inherited the English throne from Elizabeth I and became King James I of England although the Act of the Union never actually happened for approx 100 years in 1707)


  2. Both Elizabeth I and Victoria were crowned Queen during their early womanhood with Elizabeth I being 25 and Victoria turning 18. Both of them encountered numerous of assassination attempts by their enemies and opponents and survived. The two famous Queens lived a very long and prospers life with Victoria living until she was 82, and Elizabeth lived well into her 70's.

    Both Elizabeth and Victoria were the last monarch to rule from their Royal House. Elizabeth was the 5th and last monarch to rule from the House of Tudor, while Victoria was the 7th and last monarch to rule from the House of Hanover.

    Both Queens were famously known for their years of glory. Elizabeth's reign is known as the Elizabethan era, famous above all for the flourishing of English drama. It was the height of the English Renaissance and saw the flowering of English literature and poetry.

    Victoria's reign was known as the Victoria Era, represented the height of the Industrial Revolution, a period of significant social, economic, and technological progress in the United Kingdom.

    Elizabeth I never married and died childless, while Victoria married and produced nine children that survived into their adulthood. Elizabeth was crowned Queen of England, Ireland and France (in name only), while Victoria was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom. She was Queen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the first Empress of India.
