, 1907 Between 22 and 24 March 1905, Victoria, along with her mother, her younger sister
Maud (future Queen Maud of Norway) and her cousin / brother-in-law
Carl (future Haakon VII, King of Norway), made an official visit to Portugal on the royal yacht
HMY Victoria and Albert following a visit by the Portuguese monarch to the United Kingdom a year prior. On the first day of her arrival, Victoria stayed on the royal yacht due to poor health. Queen Alexandra with her daughter Princess Maud and Prince Carl met with
Queen Amelia and
Queen Dowager Maria Pia. The next day, accompanied by her sister, Victoria paid a visit to the king, queen and their sons. On 24 March the British guests left for their homeland. After
her father's death in 1910, Victoria remained in the shadow of her mother. Queen Alexandra suffered from constant depression and was practically deaf. Victoria accompanied her mother during her visits to various institutions and on holidays. Once, when the dowager queen was unable to attend the charity event
Alexandra Rose Day, she sent her daughters
Louise and Victoria together, and the latter later recorded in her diary that "it was terrible to be there without dear Mama." With continuing public hostility toward Germany during
World War I, King George V decided to renounce all German titles and honours. He asked all members of the royal family to do the same. The king renamed the ruling dynasty from
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to
Windsor, after his favourite castle. Victoria followed suit and adopted the surname Windsor. Victoria received the Harrison sisters regularly at her home and at Sandringham, and attended concerts at the
Wigmore Hall with them. She also commissioned
His Master's Voice to make her some private recordings in August 1928: the recordings, capturing Victoria at the piano accompanying Beatrice Harrison on the cello and May Harrison on the violin, would many years later be commercially released, though Victoria's musicianship would generate mixed reviews. Other friends of Victoria included members of the
Musgrave family, the widowed
5th Earl of Rosebery, and Violet Vivian, a former lady-in-waiting to Queen Alexandra.
Lady Musgrave was Victoria's lifelong friend and lady-in-waiting. Victoria assisted Violet Vivian in the design of the
Cestyll Garden near the village of
Cemaes on the northwest coast of Anglesey. Victoria died in the early hours of 3 December 1935 at the age of 67 at her home. She had been in poor health over the previous month, culminating in a severe stomach haemorrhage on 1 December. The State Opening of Parliament, planned for 3 December, was cancelled in response to her death, and instead the already-written King's Speech was read to Parliamentarians by the Lord Chancellor without ceremony. Her funeral took place on 7 December 1935 at
St George's Chapel,
Windsor Castle, where she was initially buried. The mourners at the funeral included Victoria's brother George V. George himself was in poor health, and his doctor pushed for the funeral service to be shortened; he was unsuccessful, and George's final deterioration and death soon after would later be blamed on the physical strain of the long event. Victoria's remains were later moved and reburied at the
Royal Burial Ground, Frogmore,
Windsor Great Park, on 8 January 1936. ==Titles, styles, honours and arms==
