Princess Alice was what Orthodox call a “Fool for Christ’s Sake” meaning she transcended conventional behavior in order to serve God and do good. Love her !

It is sad that her mystical experience was misconstrued as psychosis in a time when few knew about mysticism.

There is Olga Federovina, Alice's aunt and granddaughter of Queen Victoria, buried next to herein that chapel.She was Alice''s role model. Olga was killed by the Bolsheviks.I would say she was the best royal ever,better than Alice.
A great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, she was born in Windsor Castle and grew up in Great Britain, Germany and Malta. A Hessian princess by birth, she was a member of the Battenberg family, a morganatic branch of the House of Hesse-Darmstadt. She was congenitally deaf. After marrying Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark in 1903
She was moved there from the Royal Vault in Windsor where Prince Philip now rests as Israel awarded her the title of 'Righteous amongst the Nations' for her saving Jews in WWII in Greece.
This visit should have been kept private.

Prince Philips history is so interesting.
The Holy Sepelchur which the priest mentioned ,was one of two places which is considered the site ,where Our Lord was crucified, and then laid in a tomb. The other is the Garden Tomb ! Close by the Old City , Damascus Gate ! Absolutely everyone I know, who has been to both ,says it’s definitely the Garden Tomb where it happened. The spirit is so strong there. The most Holy spot on this Earth !

The Garden Tomb is a fake location made up by some random American evangelical. It’s never ever been considered the burial spot of Christ until the last 60 years and only by fringe evangelicals. For all of 2000 years of Church History the Holy Sepulchre has always been known to be the true location of the tomb of Christ.
Princess Alice is a Rightoeus Among the Nations for sheltering a Jewish family in her apartment in German-occupied Athens during the Second World War.
Prince William must really be proud of his paternal great grandmother ;)

I hope they gave him a moment to be alone there and his whole visit wasnt with people all around and taking pictures.
I wonder if he viewed it as an engagement without really thinking about her as a person and how she helped him come to be as a grandparent. It would be easy to get caught up in duty and try not to feel anything but I really wonder he he did really think on her as a person while there...
