The Victoria League in the UK presently has around 100 members in Britain as of 2020 and around 10 overseas Leagues. Queen Elizabeth II served as the organisation's patron. It is one of more than 80 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that promote cooperation and peace within the Commonwealth of Nations. Overseas branches are autonomous, operating within their own countries regulations; however, they all share the same history of birth.[1][2][3]
