How many years did Queen Victoria reign for?

Correct Answer: Almost 64 years

Queen Victoria ascended to the throne on 20 June 1837 and reigned until her death on 22 January 1901 — a total of 63 years and 216 days, nearly 64 years.

This made hers the longest reign of any British monarch up to that point, until Queen Elizabeth II surpassed it in 2015.

Victoria's reign is known as the Victorian era, a period of great industrial, cultural and imperial expansion for Britain. She was also Empress of India from 1876.
