i think the queen was around 18 at that time.

she also the empress of India.


Queen Victoria herself
Parliament Hill, under construction, 1863Queen Victoria herself was asked to choose a capital for the province of Canada, which at that time consisted of the two colonies of Quebec and Ontario, and there's a story that she simply stuck a hatpin into a map, between Toronto and Montreal.


Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death in 1901. Her reign of 63 years and 216 days is known as the Victorian era and was longer than any of her predecessors. It was a period of industrial, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. In 1876, the British Parliament voted to grant her the additional title of Empress of India.

Thank you so very much for this, and I do remember reading about the hatpin. It’s incredible isn’t it.

She was the empress of many lands and the UK continues to govern many lands.
