Queen Victoria, the British monarch from 1837 to 1901, and Prince Albert (her husband from 1840 until his death in 1861) had nine children, fourty-two grandchildren, and eighty-seven great-grandchildren. Victoria was called the "grandmother of Europe" due to the prolific web of marriages between her children and the other Great Powers of Europe.

By the time these medals were struck, Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice had not been born yet.
