 | | Victoria saw Gladstone as cold and aloof, and opposed his liberal policies, such as the 1867 Reform Act, although she was unable to stop the government's wishes from becoming law. | | | However, Victoria had strong opinions about her prime ministers and the policies that her governments followed. | | | She died at Osborne House, her home in the Isle of Wight, on 22 January 1901, and was buried at Windsor. |

| | Victoria of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Victoria's first official visit to Ireland, in 1849, was specifically arranged by Lord Clarendon, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the head of the British administration, to try both to draw attention off the famine and also to alert British politicians through the Queen's presence to the seriousness of the crisis in Ireland. | | | Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria) (24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was the eminent Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837, and Empress of India from 1 January 1877, until her death in 1901. | | | Particularly offensive to Victoria was the Foreign Secretary, Lord Palmerston, who often acted without consulting the Cabinet, the Prime Minister, or the Queen. |

| | This was demonstrated by her mediation between the Commons and the Lords, during the acrimonious passing of the Irish Church Disestablishment Act of 1869 and the 1884 Reform Act. | | | Victoria died at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, on 22 January 1901 after a reign which lasted almost 64 years, the longest in British history. | | | With time, the private urgings of her family and the flattering attention of Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister in 1868 and from 1874 to 1880, the Queen gradually resumed her public duties. |

| | Victoria’s father died before she was a year old. | | | Her reappearance was largely the work of Benjamin Disraeli, who, together with William Gladstone, dominated the politics of the latter part of Victoria’s reign. | | | In 1839, when Melbourne’s Whig cabinet resigned, Victoria refused to dismiss her Whig ladies of the bedchamber, the accepted gesture of confidence in the incoming party. |
