During her reign, the British Empire expanded and underwent significant social, political, and industrial changes. Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and had nine children. After Prince Albert's death in 1861, Queen Victoria entered a period of mourning and largely withdrew from public life. She passed away on January 22, 1901, and was laid to rest in the Frogmore Mausoleum, Windsor, England.
