Alice, Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine was the third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. She married Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine in 1862, and had seven children with him: Victoria Mountbatten, Marchioness of Milford-Haven, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna of Russia (1864-1918), Princess Irene of Hesse and by Rhine (1866-1953), Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine (1868-1937), Prince Friedrich of Hesse and by Rhine (1870-1873), Alexandra Feodorovna, Tsarina of Russia (1872-1918), & Princess Marie of Hesse and by Rhine (1874-1878). Tragedy would strike the family in later 1878, when most of the family fell ill with diphtheria. Alice nursed her sick husband and children, but fell ill with the disease as well. Alice's youngest daughter died of the disease in November 1878, and Alice died of the disease less than a month later.
The death of their youngest sibling and mother had a profound effect on the surviving children. The siblings depended on each other, and were quite close. However, their various marriages separated the siblings: Victoria moved to England, Elizabeth and Alix/Alexandra moved to Russia, Irene moved to Prussia, and Ernest Louis remained in Hesse. Tragedy would never be far behind for the siblings, however, and Elizabeth and Alix/Alexandra both lost their lives in the Russian Revolution.
