EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning black and white portrait captures Princess Alice of Battenberg, later known as Princess Andrew of Greece, in the year 1910. Born in 1885 as a great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria through her mother, Princess Victoria of Hesse, Alice was destined for a life of royalty. In 1903, she married her cousin, Prince Andrew of Greece, another great-grandchild of Queen Victoria, and became the mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The portrait showcases Princess Alice's elegant and refined beauty, with her piercing gaze and delicate features. Her regal bearing is evident in her posture, adding to the grandeur of the image. The intricate detailing of her headdress and the delicate lace collar of her blouse further emphasize her royal status. Princess Alice's life was marked by tragedy and triumph. She lost several family members during World War I and was herself seriously injured during an attack on Corfu in 1917. Despite these hardships, she continued to fulfill her duties as a princess and a mother. Her love and support for her husband and her children, including her future monarch son, were unwavering. This portrait is a testament to the rich history of European royalty and the enduring legacy of the House of Battenberg and the House of Greece. It offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played a significant role in shaping the lives of future monarchs and continues to be remembered as a beloved member of royal history.
