Emperor of India

The title Emperor of India was in 1877 for the first time awarded to the British Queen Victoria, at the time that India was fully integrated in the Kingdom.

The conduct of this title was an initiative of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli but certainly not excluded that Queen Victoria itself hard could bear that her family members in Germanyand Russia a title carried emperors and they didn't. The latter was definitely Victoria's grandson, German Emperor Wilhelm II did not escape. He had there, in kindness to small circle, to refer to his grandmother as to the Empress of Hindustan.

The British continued to carry the title Kings until India became independent. King George VI was therefore the last emperor of India.
