Who was queen before queen victoria in the 1830s?

Question

please?

Answer 1

actually it was Victoria's aunt (adeline)

Answer 2

To Louise C:

So Victoria's aunt was named "adeline"? No? Then katlvr125 wasn't right. And Queen Adelaide was clearly included in Thucydides' original answer.

Answer 3

To the person who castigated the answerer who said that Adelaide was Queen before Victoria, i should like to opint out that she got it right.  Adelaide WAS Queen before Victoria.  She was not a Queen regnant, only a Queen Consort, but nevertheless she was Queen, and that's what the questioner asked.  She asked who was Queen, not who was the reigning monarch.

Answer 4

It was a king.  William IV, her uncle.  Her father was The Duke of Kent, forth son of previous (and famous) King George III.  Victoria's father died in 1820, when Victoria was an infant.  Because William IV (and his wife Queen Adelaide) had no surviving children by the time he died, Victoria was first in line to the throne.  As you may not be aware, the majority (vast majority) of English monarchs have been kings.  Under common law the crown is passed on by male-preference primogeniture.  Succession in the United Kingdom is also governed by the Act of Union (1800), under which those who have ever been Roman Catholics, or who have married Roman Catholics, are disbarred from succeeding to the throne.

To the poster below: get your facts straight and read before you post.  William IV's wife was Queen Adelaide, as I said (the former Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen).  To compare her to Victoria is to compare apples and oranges: she was queen because she was the king's consort, not Queen like Victoria (or the current Queen Elizabeth II) who was herself the MONARCH.  

And her name sure wasn't "adeline."  The Australian city of Adelaide is named for her!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, Queen Adelaide (13 August 1792–2 December 1849) was the queen consort of William IV. Prior to becoming queen consort, she was known as Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Clarence.

In 1830, on the death of William's elder brother, George IV, William acceded to the throne. He was crowned, and Adelaide was crowned as his queen consort, on 8 September 1831, at Westminster Abbey.

She also treated the young Princess Victoria of Kent (William's heir presumptive and later Queen Victoria) with kindness, despite her own inability to produce an heir and the open hostility between William and Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent.

Queen Victoria, who never forgot her aunt Adelaide's kindness to her as a child, remembered her at the christening of her firstborn child, Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise, later the Princess Royal.

Adelaide survived her husband by twelve years. She died during the reign of her niece Queen Victoria, on 2 December 1849 of natural causes at Bentley Priory in Middlesex and was buried at St. George's Chapel, Windsor.
