Queen Victoria becomes Muslim

I saw this movie a while back
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5816682/
And it depicts a relationship between and Indian Muslim and Queen Victoria that was not that well known. I have been wondering what would the reaction of the people of Europe and her Empire be if she became Muslim?
 
The British monarch has to be Anglican Christian, so she can’t be the Empress anymore. It would be total social and political suicide (and damaging to Britain as a whole) regardless in 19th century Europe, so she’d probably have to do it privately.

If she really wanted to her best option would be to abdicate the throne. It would be a tremendous scandal if she abdicated the throne, though, so she’d need another good reason—could she fake an illness?

Do you want to know what reaction there will be? You need to know mentality of those people, which was far far from modern. In short she would be declared mad just like her grandpa George III.

Karim in reality was a little swindler, who used his conection to got personal gains. And that's his whole story.
 
Totally ASB, Victoria was by all accounts a highly Conservative woman, opposing feminism, and was also quite Devout. Having an Indian Muslim in the court doesnt change this.
 
There would be hellish pressure for Victoria's abdication. Not way that British monarch could be non-Christian. The queen surely would understand that it would bring much of problems if she would convert to Islam.

But it’s not just pressure—British law mandates that the ruler must be Anglican.
