Born Princess Alice of Albany, she was the daughter of Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, and Princess Helena of Waldeck and Pyrmont. Princess Alice played an active role in public service and philanthropy throughout her life. In 1904, she married Prince Alexander of Teck, who later became the Earl of Athlone. As the Countess of Athlone, she engaged in various charitable and cultural endeavours, particularly supporting the arts and organizations promoting education and welfare. Princess Alice's dedication to public service and her contributions to society left a lasting legacy, exemplifying the commitment of the British royal family to making a positive impact in the world.

    Great video, there is nothing like a perfect marriage or relationship, I learnt that in everything there is always a solution, 5 years ago I and my wife divorced because we were having some difficulties in our marriage but we are back together ,it was a really bad phase but we got through it

    I think we tend to get tied up with the “major players” in history and overlook so many (from all walks of life) who contributed to the way history has actually played out. And this lady is no exception. Thank you for drawing such a vivid picture of Princess Alice and her accomplishments, which can only be touched on in a, necessarily, short video. Please continue to bring more historic characters to our attention so that they are not overlooked or forgotten and we are able to appreciate their contribution to the historic narrative.

When she was born it wasn't cars and telephone etc when she died the world was unrecognisable car ,telephone, aeroplane and tv was invented. She seemed like a very lovely and sharp minded lady. ❤️❤️Rest easy ❤️

    Jon, thanks for such a beautiful tribute to Princess Alice! And, um...I don't mean to be nit-picky, but I am Canadian, and I can advise you that the name Rideau, of Rideau Hall (that Churchill loved) is pronounced Ree-doh and not Rye-doh. I hope that is not taken badly! Hard to know how to pronounce city or other names, if they are not part of your country or culture. 😽I always struggled with pronunciation of British towns and names - often got it wrong! So I totally get it! 😁Thanks again for such a dignified, and informative, video! You're the best!

    I don't think anyone who creates history videos gets the pronunciation hundred per cent correct. I know I don't. But if it's in the ballpark, then I'm content. Language is a great leveller; accents will always throw up indiscretions. So no matter hard I try and I am trying, as my mum always said. I really can't get everything spot on. But thanks for pointing it out. At least I now know. 😊

    So Beautiful I know I say that a lot but you are so good with words. Thank you for this video, not every Heroine or Strong Woman is riding into battle on a horse baby strapped to her chest weilding katanas (I'm largely borrowing from stories of the Rani of Jhansi) or taking over cities,kingdoms or even their shitty ungrateful husband's Throne and power. Anyhow, these women matter just as much and i don't know believe Heroism in *every* instance can be measured, compared. Princess Alice mattered and another wonderful video and may she R.I.P. 🙏

    She seems to have been devoted to service. It is shocking though that they could be hosting allied leaders while her brother who was mentored by Kaiser Wilhelm (with whom she lived herself) was a nazi and eugenicist and yet also with the Seaforth Highlanders. I don’t think Canadians know this part of our past, that our ww2 Governor General while rallying the troops himself, had a nazi brother in law and then went to plead his case after the war, but it definitely reinforces the government’s decision to only have Canadian born GGs afterwards.

    The thing about keeping things in the family is good, I get it, but what we have seen over time is genetic problems are carried down the blood line and hereditary problems carry on. It’s now common knowledge this happens. So sad for those that suffer and die young from trying to keep power within the family. Greed never wins, that is a moral lesson for us all.
