The Daughters of Princess Alice of The United Kingdom

Princess Alice of the United Kingdom was born on April 25th 1843 as the second daughter of Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Albert. In the 1860’s when Alice came of age of marriage her elder sister, who recently wed the heir to the German Empire was requested to make a list with suitable husbands for Alice. Queen Victoria wanted her daughters to marry for love but this did not mean that Alice could have married anyone; she still was required to marry someone within the European Royal Family. The list only contained two possible suitors for Alice which both were soon after discontinued. Soon another possible candidate appeared: Prince Louis of Hesse, the nephew of the Grand Duke of Hesse. Alice and Louis got along immediately and the Queen soon gave her consent for them to marry. The marriage took place in 1862 despite the recent death of Alice’s father. The marriage of Alice and Louise resulted in 7 children - 5 of them were daughters. Their five daughters: Victoria, Elisabeth, Irene, Alix and Marie are the topic of today's video. ------ Patreon:   / backtohistory   ------ At Back To History I share my passion for historical figures and topics.
