Commentary
Suivant une coutume qu'elle maintint tout au long de son veuvage, Victoria passa le réveillon de Noël 1900 à Osborne House sur l'île de Wight. Elle boitait du fait de ses rhumatismes et sa vision était obscurcie par la cataracte. Durant le mois de janvier, elle se sentit « faible et souffrante » et au milieu du mois, elle était « somnolente… hébétée et perdue ». Elle mourut le 22 janvier 1901 vers 18 h 30 à l'âge de 81 ans. Son fils et successeur, Édouard VII, et son petit-fils le plus âgé, Guillaume II, se trouvaient à son chevet. Sa dernière volonté fut que son Poméranien préféré, Turri, fût posé sur son lit de mort.
Following a custom she maintained throughout her widowhood, Victoria spent Christmas Eve 1900 at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. She walked with a limp due to rheumatism, and her vision was impaired by cataracts. During January, she felt \\\"weak and unwell,\\\" and by mid-month, she was \\\"drowsy... dazed and lost.\\\" She died on 22 January 1901 at about 6:30 p.m. at the age of 81. Her son and successor, Edward VII, and her eldest grandson, William II, were at her bedside. Her last wish was that her favorite Pomeranian, Turri, be placed on her deathbed.
