He died from an heart failure//** **//at 12 minutes past 2 yesterday morning. Lord Conyngham consequently that she was Queen…"Victoria is now Queen of the United Kingdom.//**"

// Queen Victoria Receiving the News of Her Accession to the Throne, June 20.//

When it become clear that King William IV was sick Victoria's mum was so afraid that somebody were gonna poisen her daughter, since Victoria was the only legimized heir. She maked sure that wherever Victoria went, she never went alone without a bodyguard. It's also said that she moved Victoria's bed into her own bedroom, so she could look after that no one tried to kill Victoria during her beautysleep. But now 18 years old Victoria is Queen of the United Kingdom, and she is already rejecting any further influence from her domineering mother. She is ruling in her own stead. Good for you, Victoria!

So now Victoria is Queen. She turned 18 on 24 May, so a regency is no longer necessary for her. I guess it was a bit of a shocking news for Queen Victoria. First she finds out that her uncle is dead, and almost in the same sentence that she is the Queen of the United Kingdom. The Queen is childless, and not even married! So Ernest Augustus, the King of Hanover will also remaine the heir presumptive to the throne of the United Kingdom until her first child is born. An heir presumptive is the person provisionally scheduled to inherit a throne, but whose position can be displaced by the birth of an heir apparent or of a new heir presumptive with a better claim to the throne. In one week her coronation will take place, there we will have an exclusive interview with Queen Victoria. Tomorrow we will have spesial photos of our Queen, so buy the Victorian Gossip tomorrow!
