The last Victorian[edit]

Under "Declining health and death", I would give to discuss adding something about the death of the last Victorian. For example: "Born on 27 May 1900, British supercentenarian Ethel Lang died on 16 January 2015, marking the death of the last Brit verified to have been born in the Victorian era". https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jan/18/ethel-lang-last-victorian-dies-victorian-values-live-on https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-30848592

This could perhaps be followed by a note along the lines of: "Japan's Nabi Tajima (4 August 1900 – 21 April 2018) was the last person of all to verifiably have been born during Victoria's lifetime.--78.157.120.208 (talk) 17:54, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A few of these tags in the article. Just noting here to stave off an FAR. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 12:48, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Those parts don't appear particularly vital and could probably just be cut if necessary. Celia Homeford (talk) 12:10, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Her Majesty's Voice[edit]

Sometime when I was still in high school, a recording of what appears to be Queen Victoria's voice was made public. The audio condition was bad - it was on a roll not a disc - but her voice could not be made out. I have no idea what her Majesty's voice sounded like, but I do know her mother tongue was German and she never fully mastered the English language, although, if that recording was any indication, she did speak English fluently.173.206.80.153 (talk) 09:30, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The relevancy being? EmilySarah99 (talk) 10:01, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"her mother tongue was German and she never fully mastered the English language" = utter garbage, disproven by the article text and the sources therein. DrKay (talk) 18:07, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting piece on the possible recording here. Johnbod (talk) 03:49, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
