History


The Royal Order of Victoria and Albert was established by Queen Victoria on February 10, 1862. The Order was personally conferred, in four classes according to the rank of the recipient, by Queen Victoria upon female members of the royal family. A Sovereign's Badge was also worn by Queen Victoria. The Order ceased to be awarded upon the death of Queen Victoria and became obsolete in 1981.

Members of the I Class award consisted of royal senior ladies.

Recipients of the Order were entitled to use the post-nominal letters "VA."
