At the age of 50, Edward, the Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of George III, married a widow, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld!. Victoria, the couple's only child, was born in Kensington Palace, London on May 24, 1819!. At birth she was fifth in line for the British crown, after her grandfather, George III, her father's three older brothers, and her father!.

Victoria was christened in the Cupola Room of Kensington Palace on June 24, 1819 by the Archbishop of Canterbury (Charles Manners-Sutton)!. Her godparents were the Prince Regent, the Emperor Alexander I of Russia (in whose honour she received her first name), Princess Charlotte, Princess Royal and the Dowager Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld!.

In the movies, Queen Victoria always has an English accent, rather authoritative!. Although, her son, Edward VII is sometimes depicted with somewhat of a slight French accent!.

She was born in England and as far as I know, lived in England with her mother until she came to the throne!. Her mother was German and her father was German, a younger son of George IIII!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

although she spent her early years with German speakers, once she knew she would inherit the throne ,!.!.!.I am sure she made sure that she spoke English as well as she could!.
As there is no reference to her being german, can only presume that she spoke English without a trace of a German accent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
