EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Alice of Greece, née Princess Alice of Battenberg, is captured in a tender moment with her mother, Princess Victoria of Hesse, and her eldest child, Princess Margarita of Greece, also known as Margaret. The image, taken in 1905, showcases the strong bond between three generations of the European royal family. Princess Alice, the mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was born in 1885 as a member of the illustrious Battenberg family. Her parents, Prince Alexander of Hesse and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, were themselves the grandchildren of Queen Victoria. Alice married Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark in 1903, and the couple went on to have five children: Prince Philip, Princess Margarita, Princess Theodora, Prince Constantine, and Princess Cecilie. In the photograph, Princess Alice is dressed in a stylish, high-necked blouse and long skirt, while her mother, Princess Victoria, cradles her granddaughter, Margarita, in her arms. The young princess, who was born in 1905, is wearing a frilly white dress and a matching bonnet, her cherubic face gazing up at her grandmother with curiosity. Princess Victoria, who was the eldest daughter of Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, was a prominent figure in her own right. She was a patron of various charities and was known for her philanthropic work. The photograph captures a brief yet poignant moment in the lives of these three remarkable women, highlighting the enduring bond between a mother, her daughter, and her mother. The image is a testament to the rich history of European royalty, with its intricate connections and complex family relationships. It serves as a reminder of the legacy of the Battenberg and Hesse families, whose members have left an indelible mark on European history.
