East India company got its license cancelled in the year 1858 after first war of indian independence.?

so control of India came under direct British crown, means rule of King or Queen of England and Viceroy was appointed to rule as kings or queens representative in India. So India came under direct British crown in 1858. So King or queen must be the ruler of colony India, then why British parliament conferred Queen Victoria the title "Empress of India" in the year 1877, when already she was the ruler or Empress in 1858 itself? What is the speciality in this title? what special powers would queen get after assuming this title? Pls clarify?East India company got its license cancelled in the year 1858 after first war of indian independence.?

The use of pig fat-and mutton tallow in the rifles alloted to them were not acceptable to Hindu Soldiers who were forced to use the weapon despite their refusal.The 1857-58 Jhansi Rani's battle with the East India Company triggered the dissatisfaction of Indian Soldiers employed with the East India Company and many of the soldiers became sympathisers of the freedom movement and this movement spread nationwide and things went out of control of the East India Company giving rise to Nationwide unrest. The British Government had to interfere and took the Company under its charge to calm the situation and took over the Administration of the Country.All the three presidencies viz. Madras, Calcutta were consolidated under the Queens rule and the post of Governor General was upgraded and known as Vicroi giving him absolute power to any appropriate steps or action on behalf of the Queen in the matter of Governig the Country.Then to pacify the Indian Public and to asure them that they are under proper systamatic Government under the Queen.Queen Victoria was declared as Empress of IndiaEast India company got its license cancelled in the year 1858 after first war of indian independence.?
Empress of India was merely a ceremonial title, it gave Victoria no special additional powers. It acknowledged an existing link, that is all.
