Alexandrina Welf von Wettin

... is possibly the correct name to apply to this Victorian lady who has many a moniker.

Another possibility - a long shot of great controversy - is Victoria Brown.

Unlike many women who lived in the years of 1819 to 1901, Alexandrina had a long time job. In fact she held that job longer than any other person - male or female - until the 21st century when another lady - named Elizabeth - held it longer.

Of course by now you know who we're talking about, and the prim and proper may take umbrage at what may seem to not be showing proper respect due to the lady known and loved by millions. But that wasn't always the case as you'll learn if you just click here.
