1861年1月, 腓特烈·威廉四世去世，他的弟弟威廉一世即位，腓特烈親王被立為普魯士王儲(Crown Prince of Prussia),維多利亞成為王儲妃(Crown Princess). The new Crown Prince and Princess, however, were politically isolated; their liberal and Anglophile views clashed with the authoritarian rule of the 普魯士首相, 俾斯麥.

During the three Wars of German Unification – the 1864 Prussian-Danish War, the 1866 Austro-Prussian War, and the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War – Victoria and Friedrich strongly identified with the cause of Prussia and the North German Confederation. Their sympathies created a rift among Queen Victoria's extended family, since Victoria's younger brother, the Prince of Wales, was married to Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the elder daughter of Christian IX of Denmark, who was also reigning duke of the disputed territories of Schleswig and Holstein. At Versailles on 18 January 1871, the victorious princes of the North German Confederation proclaimed a German Empire with King Wilhelm I of Prussia as the hereditary German Emperor (''Deutscher Kaiser'') with the style ''Imperial and Royal Majesty (Kaiserliche und Königliche Majestät)''; Fritz and Vicky became Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the German Empire with the style ''Imperial and Royal Highness (Kaiserliche und Königliche Hoheit)''.

On the death of his father on 9 March 1888, the Crown Prince ascended the throne as the Emperor Friedrich III and Victoria adopted the title and style of ''Her Imperial and Royal Majesty'' The German Empress. Friedrich III, however, was terminally ill with throat cancer and died after reigning 99 days. From then on she was known simply as The Empress Friedrich (rumour had it that her son, now Kaiser Wilhelm II, disliked his mother so much he had her styled by this rather odd masculine looking title as opposed to a more feminie "Empress Victoria" or Dowager Empress).

The widowed Victoria lived in retirement at Friedrichshof, a country house she built near Kronberg. Politically, she remained a liberal and because of this, her already strained relationship with her son Emperor Wilhelm II deteriorated. In Berlin, Victoria established schools for the higher education of girls and for nurses' training. She patronized the arts and learning, becoming one of the organizers of the 1872 Industrial Art Exhibition.

Throughout her married life and widowhood, Victoria kept in close touch with other members of the British Royal Family, particularly her eldest brother, the future Edward VII. She maintained a regular correspondence with her mother. According to the ''Royal Encyclopaedia'', some 3,777 letters from Queen Victoria to her eldest daughter have been catalogued, as well as more than 4,000 from daughter to mother.

Victoria died of cancer of the spine at Friedrichshof in August 1901, eight months after the death of her mother Queen Victoria. She was interred next to her husband at the royal mausoleum of Friedenskirche at Potsdam on 13 August.
