+'''Queen Victoria''' (May 24, 1819 – January 22, 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. Her reign is known as the Victorian era.
+==History==
+The Queen was mentioned in a book in the Museum in [[Kensington]], where a celestial grammar horn was on display. It was hoped that the national anthem blasted through the horn would be heard by aliens who would be moved to pledge allegiance to Victoria as a result.

+[[File:MediEvil2-Queenzilla-ConceptArt.jpg|right|thumb|Concept art of Queenzilla by [[Jason Wilson]].]]Queen Victoria was to appear in ''[[MediEvil 2]]'' as '''Queen-zilla''', a play on {{w|Godzilla}}. She was set to be the final boss, but was eventually replaced with a [[The Demon|big demon]].{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|13694|MediEvil developers - Q&A;|November 3, 2013|quote=Chris also had the idea of Queen Victoria being possessed and turned into a giant monster version of Queen Victoria and stomping about London like Godzilla.|author=Jason Wilson}} She was to be controlled by [[Palethorn]] through his steam powered aircraft and fought in the cut [[Parliament]] level.{{Note|name="bosses"|Boss fights in ''MediEvil 2'' are generally their own separate level, so it is likely Queen-zilla would have been fought in a level bearing her name that was separate from Parliament, e.g. Queen-zilla, Queen Victoria, The Queen, etc.}}{{Siteref|MediEvil-Boards|13697|MediEvil developers - Q&A;|November 3, 2013|id=1|quote="Parliament" was the level intended as the battle ground for fighting the Queen Victoria monster.

+A 3D model of the human version of the Queen was made for the game. A thumbnail image of it can be found on one of the game's press discs.
