Podcast appearances and mentions of Princess Alice

The SS Princess Alice is one of the most heartbreaking shipwrecks in history, and it doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves. In 1878, this passenger paddle steamer was cruising along the Thames in London when it collided with a larger ship, the Bywell Castle, breaking apart in minutes. Tragically, over 600 people died, many because the water was heavily polluted with raw sewage, making survival almost impossible. Families out for a pleasant evening were suddenly caught in a horrifying disaster that devastated the city. The tragedy led to public outrage, prompting improvements in river safety and pollution control. Though less famous than the Titanic, the story of the Princess Alice is just as haunting and important to remember.

Welcome to the next Heart of the Matter Radio/Podcast. Alice Roosevelt's reputation reverberates through history as a woman of charm, rebellion, and wit. Behind her "Princess Alice" personal lay an uneasy relationship with her father, Theodore Roosevelt who became president. We examine the reason why in this video. Join us as we journey into the past.

Even in the 1800s, nobody used their turn signals.In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a steamboat that sank in the River Thames after it was struck and split in half by a much larger boat. Of course, there was mayhem, an investigation, and a trial that could only happen more than a century ago.Also, Liv sounds like she smokes 20 packs a day. Ian is becoming a mature adult.

Alan Bosson talks to Claire Woodward from the Princess Alice Hospice about their forthcoming Santa Fun Run at Bushy Park on 8 December and Sandown Park Racecourse and on 15 December.

In the early 20th Century, there was no bigger celebrity than first daughter, Alice Roosevelt, daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. She captured the attention of the nation with care-free, hard-partying ways and eccentricities, like her habit of carrying around a pet snake. Songs were written about her and a color was even named in her honor. On top of that, she married a future Speaker of the House and had an enduring affair with another influential member of Congress. It was a big deal when 60 Minutes landed an interview with Alice in her later years -- and she didn't hold back when dishing about some other famous individuals, including her famous cousins Eleanor and Franklin.For more episodes like this one, search for "60 Minutes: A Second Look" and follow the show, wherever you get your podcasts.

Who's to blame for the sinking of SS Princess Alice?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes fellow podcaster Adrien Behn to discuss the gruesomely tragic sinking of the SS Princess Alice in the Thames River.

After Louis Battenberg's (later Louis Mountbatten) successful campaign to marry Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, the couple set about having babies. The first of these, Princess Alice, was born in 1885, and came into the world congenitally deaf. Given the era, no particular accommodations were made for her, and while her condition caused many to underestimate her, she compensated by learning to lip-read (in several languages) and spoke English, German, French, and, later, Greek. Her marriage to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark was happy only for a while, but the pair had five children. Alice occupied herself with charity work, and when hostilities broke out between Greece and Turkey, she served as a nurse at the front line, earning the deep affection of the Greek people. During the First World War, Greece exiled the royal family, and setting up in Paris, Alice and Andrew became estranged. He would ride out the rest of his life in the south of France with his mistress, while Alice's life became strange and complicated. She fell in unrequited love, though history has not retained the identity of her affection, and developed a religious fervor. She was hospitalized in sanitariums and treated with cutting edge techniques for schizophrenia, like hitting her abdomen with X-rays to destroy her ovaries. During her convalescence, which she wanted out of, her daughters married without her knowing and her youngest son, Prince Philip, gradually grew from a child to a man, with no real connection to his mother or father. Alice spent World War II in Athens, caring for the poor and hungry, and sheltering a Jewish family. When the Nazi occupiers came to search her home, she leaned into her deafness, pretending not to understand what they wanted until they were so bamboozled they left empty handed. She founded a religious order, but when Greece again abolished the monarchy, her son Philip, now married to Queen Elizabeth II, ensured her safe passage to Great Britain, where she lived out her days simply and humbly, as a quiet resident of Buckingham Palace.

President Theodore Roosevelt had many challenges during his career… corruption in the New York police force, the creation of the Panama Canal , the Spanish American war, protecting the Grand Canyon and other national monuments, and groundbreaking anti-trust legislation But the greatest challenge he faced was a volcano in a blue dress, his eldest daughter - flouter of convention, spicy of demeanor, and perhaps the world's first media superstar…who admirers across the world came to call America's “Princess Alice.” Join us on our Field Trip to Austria in June of '24!

In the latest episode of the London History Podcast, we delve into the fascinating and crucial chapter of London's history surrounding the Crossness Pumping Station. The mid-19th century was a time when London grappled with the unignorable problem of sanitation, culminating in the notorious event known as the Great Stink of 1858. We begin by exploring the life and career of Joseph Bazalgette, the visionary engineer whose ambitious and innovative sewage system still underpins London's infrastructure today. Bazalgette's monumental undertaking, instigated by the Great Stink, is beautifully narrated, bringing the period's pressing health issues, political pressures, and scientific discoveries to life. The episode then transitions to the architectural marvel of the Crossness Pumping Station, one of Bazalgette's crowning achievements. You'll hear about its intricate design, the advanced-for-its-time technology, and its pivotal role in transforming London's sanitation system. Finally, the episode concludes with the heartbreaking tale of the Princess Alice disaster. This tragic maritime accident underscored the importance of Bazalgette's work and highlighted the stark realities of Victorian London's public health crisis. This episode is an engaging blend of science, history, and biography, showcasing the remarkable individuals and events that shaped London's path towards modernity. Tune in for a comprehensive look at how London transformed from the Great Stink to a city renowned for its effective sewage system.

In this week's episode, Andrew explores the incredible life of Alice Roosevelt, the eldest child of President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt and her enduring impact on American culture and politics. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, also known as "Princess Alice," was the eldest daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. Born in 1884, Alice grew up in the White House and quickly became a popular figure in Washington society. Her rebellious nature and scandalous behavior made her a tabloid favorite, and she was known for her sharp wit and cutting remarks. Alice was a trendsetter in fashion and set the standard for American women's style during the early 20th century. Despite her privileged upbringing, Alice faced many challenges in her personal life. She married twice and experienced the loss of both her husband and her only child. Throughout her life, Alice remained an outspoken and independent woman, advocating for social and political causes such as women's rights and civil liberties. She lived to be 96 years old, witnessing significant changes in American society and politics throughout her lifetime. - Thank you for listening Weirdos!

Her life is fascinating for its mysteries and its passions and, as Lucy Worsley says, "She wasthrillingly, scintillatingly modern." She went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by thenew science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness.So why—despite all the evidence to the contrary—did Agatha present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady ofleisure?She was born in 1890 into a world that had its own rules about what women could and couldn't do.

This week's guest is friend of the show Dr Tessa Dunlop, talking about the subject of her new book, Elizabeth and Philip and their early life. This couple both served during the Second World War. and Philip in particular had a hugely disruptive upbringing. His mother, Princess Alice, lived under German occupation and indeed saved a family of jews from the Holocaust. His sisters married into senior members of the German aristocracy, two of whom were Nazis.This is in stark contrast to the more modern version of the royals, with the recent Harry and Meghan Netflix documentary which we inevitably discuss. But the story here is of Philip, looking for stability, and Elizabeth, for the man of her dreams, who united to build a family that now represents modern Britain: the good bits as well as divorce, social media and very public disagreements.Listeners of the podcast has access to our e-magazine annual subscription for only £/$5 down from £/$9.99.

Alan Bosson talks to Claire Woodward, Marketing and Communications Officer for the Princess Alice Hospice in Esher with news of their Santa Fun Runs.

Today I talked to Karen Odden about her new book Under a Veiled Moon (Crooked Lane Books, 2022). When the Princess Alice pleasure boat collides with a huge iron-hulled cargo ship on the Thames River, it's split in half, and only 130 of the 650 passengers and crew members survive. It's 1878, and clues point to sabotage by the Irish Republican Brotherhood, which has already used violence in hopes of restoring Home Rule. Inspector Michael Corravan, who was born in Ireland, orphaned, and raised in London by an Irish family, knows that the British will never allow Home Rule in Ireland if the IRB is to blame for the disaster. Meanwhile, violence is rising in his old neighborhood, and Colin Doyle, the youngest of his adopted family, has joined one of the violent Irish gangs. He refuses Corravan's offer of help, which puts the entire family in danger. With support from colleagues, his good friends Mr. Gordon Stiles and Mrs. Belinda Gale, Inspector Corravan presses on to uncover the truth. KAREN ODDEN received her Ph.D. in English literature from New York University, writing her dissertation on Victorian railway disasters and the origins of PTSD. She has taught at UW-Milwaukee, written essays for numerous books and journals, and edited for the journal Victorian Literature and Culture (Cambridge UP). She freely admits she might be more at home in Victorian London than today, especially when she tries to do anything complicated on her iPhone. All of her mysteries are set in 1870s London. Her first novel, A LADY IN THE SMOKE, about a young woman in a 1874 railway crash, was a USA Today bestseller. In A DANGEROUS DUET, Nell Hallam, an ambitious young pianist stumbles on a notorious crime ring while playing in a Soho music hall. In A TRACE OF DECEIT, Annabel Rowe, a young painter at the Slade School of Art, must delve below the glitter of the art and auction world to uncover the truth about her brother's murder. A member of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime, Karen was awarded a 2021 Grant from Arizona Commission on the Arts. Under a Veiled Moon is the second novel in her Inspector Corravan series, following Down a Dark River. An avid desert hiker, Karen lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her family and her rescue beagle muse, Rosy. Learn more about your ad choices.

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Sunday 8th September 1878. This sermon is very important, as it deals with the age-old question of why it is that a God of love allows suffering. It was preached just five days after the ‘Princess Alice' a paddle steamer, was accidently broken in half and sunk by colliding with another vessel. Over 600 people drowned, including five members of the Metropolitan Tabernacle. Spurgeon grasps the nettle with a sympathetic, but firm hand; reminding his hearers that God is omnipresent and omnipotent. The Lord allows, since the Fall, for apparent tragedies to happen; even involving the death of His people. This sermon gives a clear view into the thinking of Spurgeon concerning this subject which is both practical, and helpful, for the people of London in their shock and grief.

Born congenitally deaf and wrongly regarded as “slow” on account of her disability,  Princess Alice of Battenberg chose a life of service to the poor and marginalized.Despite the many tragedies in her life she volunteered to help the wounded in WW1 and WW2, she almost got arrested by the Gestapo for saving Jewish families during the Holocaust, became a nun, was sterilized by Sigmund Freud after erroneously being diagnosed as a schizophrenic and died poor, after selling all her jewelry and possessions to help those less fortunate. If you like our content, please become a patron to unlock our premium episodes ad-free. Princess Victoria Alice Elizabeth Julia Marie of Battenberg of Greece and Denmark was the mother of Prince Philip, and mother-in-law of Queen Elizabeth II. A great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Alice was born in Windsor Castle on Feb 25th 1885 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. Despite the stigma attached to her illness, she learned to lip-read and speak in English, German and French by the time she was 8 years old. After her marriage, Princess Alice became involved in charity work, while her husband Prince Andrew continued his career in the military. In 1908, she visited Russia for the wedding of Grand Duchess Marie of Russia and Prince William of Sweden. While there, she talked with her aunt Grand duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna who was at the time working on plans for the foundation of a religious order of nurses. In 1913, King George V awarded her the Royal Red Cross in for her service helping the wounded. Princess Alice and her children were forced to shelter in the palace cellars during the bombardment of Athens by the French on 1 December 1916. They had to escape unrest in Greece twice, very traumatic experiences for her. 1 In France, Princess Alice became active in a charity organization for Greek refugees. She became deeply religious and, in October 1928, converted to the Greek Orthodox Church. Then her mental health started declining and Princess Alice was forcibly removed from her family and placed in an asylum, Sigmund Freud recommended “X-raying her ovaries in order to kill off her libido" and induce early menopause as treatment for “schizophrenia”. During WW2 she sheltered Jewish refugees, including the Cohen family, and helped them escape death, and for this she is recognised as “Righteous Among The Nations” by Israel's Holocaust memorial institution, Yad Vashem. In 2010, the Princess Alice was posthumously named a Hero of the Holocaust by the British Government. Her nursing order of nuns was named Christian Sisterhood of Martha and Mary. Princess Alice was also a chain smoker and played canasta. She passed away at Buckingham Palace on December 5 1969. She left no possessions, as she had given everything away to the poor. Initially her remains were placed in the Royal Crypt in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, but before she died she had expressed her wish to be buried at the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalene in Ghethsemane on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem near her beloved aunt Elizabeth who was made a Russian orthodox saint, we think Princess Alice should be made one too. 2 1.

Any study of the Crusades — the religious wars waged by Latin Catholics to recapture the Holy Land — is primarily an exploration of men and their military deeds, with scant consideration of women, save perhaps the redoubtable Eleanor of Aquitaine who accompanied her husband, King Louis VII of France, on the Second Crusade. But the history of the Christian Crusader states established after the success of the First Crusade is a different matter. From 1099 to 1187, the four polities, known collectively as “Outremer” or “the lands beyond the sea” — the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Principality of Antioch, and the Counties of Tripoli and Edessa — were more often ruled by queens, princesses, and countesses in their own right. The captivating story of these women is the subject of Queens of Jerusalem: The Women Who Dared to Rule (Hachette, 2021) by Katherine Pangonis. In taking up the story of Queen Melisende of Jerusalem, her rebel sister, Princess Alice of Antioch, and their descendants, Pangonis set herself the challenging task of peeling back the layers of recorded history — primarily chronicles written by men — to create a realistic portrait of these vital, ambitious, and dynamic women, a task that requires the historian to wear many hats: archivist, detective, archeologist, and psychologist. Pangonis is well up to the task; she is an outstanding narrative historian, and in addition to scrutinizing all extant sources on Outremer, Pangonis also took the time to walk in the footsteps of her protagonists, and this allows readers of “Queens of Jerusalem” to experience medieval Outremer in vibrant detail. The queens, princesses, and countesses of Outremer were keen builders of edifices, which still form parts of the skylines of of the region: the Crusader castles, the Convent of Bethany, and the all-important Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In “Queens of Jerusalem” this topography leaps off the page in very satisfying detail. Pangonis's writing is elegant and evocative, always informative but never pedantic. Her ability to marshall her sprawling cast of characters, many of whom confusingly share the same names, is impressive, with each person emerging as a separate and vivid personality with distinct character traits. Pangonis argues that like their European cousins, none of the women of Outremer was ever destined to rule, but that the inherent violence of Outremer rendered the mortality rate for men such that women were often the only potential heirs. Some women, such as Queen Melisende of Jerusalem, were well prepared for their task from childhood, while others, like her sister Alice, struggled to establish and maintain power. Pangonis also considers the fates of several Byzantine princesses who married into the Crusader states, such as the colorful Theodora Komnene, foreigners forced to weather their own challenges in navigating power in Outremer.

Any study of the Crusades — the religious wars waged by Latin Catholics to recapture the Holy Land — is primarily an exploration of men and their military deeds, with scant consideration of women, save perhaps the redoubtable Eleanor of Aquitaine who accompanied her husband, King Louis VII of France, on the Second Crusade. But the history of the Christian Crusader states established after the success of the First Crusade is a different matter. From 1099 to 1187, the four polities, known collectively as “Outremer” or “the lands beyond the sea” — the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Principality of Antioch, and the Counties of Tripoli and Edessa — were more often ruled by queens, princesses, and countesses in their own right. The captivating story of these women is the subject of Queens of Jerusalem: The Women Who Dared to Rule (Hachette, 2021) by Katherine Pangonis. In taking up the story of Queen Melisende of Jerusalem, her rebel sister, Princess Alice of Antioch, and their descendants, Pangonis set herself the challenging task of peeling back the layers of recorded history — primarily chronicles written by men — to create a realistic portrait of these vital, ambitious, and dynamic women, a task that requires the historian to wear many hats: archivist, detective, archeologist, and psychologist. Pangonis is well up to the task; she is an outstanding narrative historian, and in addition to scrutinizing all extant sources on Outremer, Pangonis also took the time to walk in the footsteps of her protagonists, and this allows readers of “Queens of Jerusalem” to experience medieval Outremer in vibrant detail. The queens, princesses, and countesses of Outremer were keen builders of edifices, which still form parts of the skylines of of the region: the Crusader castles, the Convent of Bethany, and the all-important Church of the Holy Sepulchre. In “Queens of Jerusalem” this topography leaps off the page in very satisfying detail. Pangonis's writing is elegant and evocative, always informative but never pedantic.

After the death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, many were wondering how his large fortune would be divided up.The Duke, who passed away at 99, had amassed quite a large fortune throughout his lifetime, much like his wife and monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.Prince Philip left an estimated $58.5 million when he died last month, and it was reported on Friday that "three key men in his life" were left money from his will, according to a royal insider.While the majority of his estate is likely to have been left to the Queen, a source close to Buckingham Palace claimed the Duke also recognised his closest aides."Unlike some other royals, Prince Philip will be generous to the three men who looked after him," the insider told Fabulous."These include his private secretary Brigadier Archie Miller Bakewell, his page William Henderson and valet Stephen Niedojadlo."All three men were hugely supportive of the Duke in his final years with Mr Bakewell frequently standing in for Philip when he couldn't make an engagement.Before the Iron Duke became the Queen's husband, Philip was born into royalty as the Prince of Greece and Denmark.His parents, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg, were in line for the Greek throne, before they were exiled when Philip was 18 months old.His parents, Philip, and his four eldest sisters Princesses Cecilie, Margarita, Sophie and Theodora fled to France.It was in France where Philip was educated (in Paris, and later in Germany and the United Kingdom too), before he joined the British Royal Navy in 1939 when he was 18-years-old.Prince Charles leads the royals at Philip's funeral. (Photo / AP)Come March 1939 and Philip was a British citizen, adopting the last name Mountbatten which came from his mother's family. He had abandoned his Greek and Danish royal titles.This was the significant year that Philip began exchanging letters with Queen Elizabeth II, whom he later married in 1947.By the eve of their wedding, Lieutenant Mountbatten was formally named Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, and Baron of Greenwich, also given the title of His Royal Highness.While he inherited these royal titles, Prince Philip gained a large amount of money and assets.Prince Philip left an estimated $58.5 million when he died last month. (Photo / Getty Images)Prince Philip was given a salary, a royal allowance from the Sovereign Grant which was an official expense account which was paid for by British taxpayers. This was around $686,000 per year.Prince Philip retired from his official royal duties in 2017, but it is unclear whether or not he continued to receive this allowance.The Duke maintained access funds which were earned by a private portfolio of properties and land, as well as assets set up by the Duchy of Lancaster in 1399.Prince Philip and The Queen are said to share a portfolio that includes stocks and land which was inherited by the Queen's family, including their Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham Estate in England.The insider claimed that Philip's grandchildren, including Prince Harry who has launched a number of scathing attacks on the royal family in recent months, will have been "sorted out quite a while ago" when it came to money.They said: "Philip was not the sort of character to punish a grandson [Harry] for misbehaving. He was a very fair, even-handed and lovely man. Never held a grudge."They added: "Philip had plenty of time to sort out all the legal stuff so it wouldn't attract inheritance tax. He was no more of a fan of leaving his cash to the Treasury than anyone else."The source added that the Duke's children – Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew – have been told they can "take what they want" from his collection of 13,000 books in his library at Buckingham Palace.

Princess Alice, the mother of recently deceased Prince Philip, is described as a princess who “refused to fit the royal mold.” Alice was born different, with congenital deafness. But starting as a toddler, she learned to speak and lip read German, English, French, and Greek. Once married to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, she […]

Because of anti-German sentiment after the Second World War, only Philip's mother, Princess Alice, was at her son's wedding to then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947. But on Saturday, three of Philip's family will be able to attend his funeral, representing the cousins, nieces and nephews who also feel his loss. - Nur 30 Gäste dürfen bei der Beerdigung von Prinz Philip, dem Mann von Königin Elizabeth II, dabei sein. Alle Augen sind natürlich am Samstag auf Prinz Harry und eine mögliche Aussöhnung mit den anderen Royals gerichtet. Doch auch ein paar Gäste aus Deutschland sind in der kleinen Gruppe der Trauernden. Die Hintergründe erklärt Dr. Andreas Loewe, Dean der St. Paul's Kathedrale in Melbourne und auch welche Beziehungen Philip zur anglikanischen Kirche hatte:

Evy Cohen talks about Prince Philip and how his mother Princess Alice saved her family from the Holocaust, Georgia Elliot-Smith asks if we should stop shaming women about waste and recyling and as Sikhs and Hindus prepare to celebrate the festival of Vaisakhi (solar new year) we talk to the singer Manika Kaur.

Faithspotting hosts Mike and Kenny continue looking at the faith elements in the NETFLIX series, The Crown. In this episode, Faithspotting examines the faith elements spotted in "Bubbikins," the fourth episode of season three and "The Hereditary Principle" the seventh episode of season four. Faith Elements: Both episodes examine mental illness and how it is addressed by members of the Royal Family as presented in the series. The overarching faith issue is the power of shame and valuing others by their perceived utility. As God loves all people regardless of physical, emotional, or spiritual limitations, we are called to love others even if they are limited in their ability to return love or the worldly "value" they offer. Followers of Christ are called to love as Jesus loves, John 13:34-35. Bubbikins: Romans 8:18-38, Job The faith of Princess Alice, in the midst of the loss of her position and her family is an example of the place and power of faith in the midst of trying circumstances in life. The suffering of the current times cannot compare to the glory to come in God's Kingdom.  Even in the midst of sickness, suffering, and loss, through Christ one is more than a conqueror.  Also, nothing can separate one from the love of Christ.  Alice also presents a contrasting example to that of Job. One might say the reaction of Alice is what God hoped if not expected from Job. "The Hereditary Principle": Loyalty to God.  Jesus taught in Luke 14:26-28 that one's first and primary loyalty is to God, even if it causes a break within or from one's family. If forced to choose between God and family, or anything, the disciple is to choose God.

A decidedly sweeter episode than last week, we get to talk about Princess Alice, Phillip's mom. She calls him bubbikins. It's adorable. But so are we! Enjoy!

We're sitting in the drawing room of Lady Pamela Hicks' home in Oxfordshire listening intently to Lady Pamela's mesmerising stories. It's just India and her mother Lady Pamela and Lisa the producer recording it and putting it all together. We've chosen to have no studio, no formalities just plenty of conversation and of course tea and cake. This episode is all about Princess Alice, mother to Prince Philip and of course mother in law of Queen Elizabeth, a lady who lived a remarkable life in some turbulent and challenging periods of history. She was born in Windsor Castle, in the presence of her Great Grandmother Queen Victoria, and later married Prince Andrew of Greece. Her two aunts - Grand Duchess Elizabeth and Tsarina Alexandra - were both killed in the Russian Revolution and her daughter Cecile died in a plane crash. She was exiled twice and during During World War II and sheltered a family from the Nazis. Following a religious crisis she spent some years in a sanatorium in Switzerland and later established an order of nuns, living a life of extreme frugality dedicated to raising money for charity. As Lord Mountbatten's older sister she was of course Lady Pamela's aunt and on this episode Lady Pamela tells us some of her memories of the remarkable chain-smoking, canasta playing Princess Alice. 

The “Bubbikins” episode of Netflix's THE CROWN series opens in Athens, Greece in 1967. The Christian Sisterhood of Martha and Mary, the nursing order of Greek Orthodox nuns founded in 1949 by Prince Philip's mother, Princess Alice of Greece, is out of money. THE CROWN: Bubbikins is an eye-opening, uplifting episode...Click the following link to read the full review: https://www.movieguide.org/reviews/the-crown-bubbikins.html

Entrepreneur and style icon India Hicks has lived an extraordinary life so far.

Princess Alice of Battenberg (Victoria Alice Elizabeth Julia Marie; 25 February 1885 – 5 December 1969) was the mother of Prince Philip and mother-in-law of Queen Elizabeth II. A great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, she was born in Windsor Castle and grew up in the United Kingdom, the German Empire, and the Mediterranean. 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 adopted the style of her husband, becoming Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark. She lived in Greece until the exile of most of the Greek royal family in 1917. On returning to Greece a few years later, her husband was blamed in part for the country's defeat in the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), and the family was once again forced into exile until the restoration of the Greek monarchy in 1935. In 1930, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was committed to a sanatorium in Switzerland; thereafter, she lived separately from her husband. After her recovery, she devoted most of her remaining years to charity work in Greece. She stayed in Athens during the Second World War, sheltering Jewish refugees, for which she is recognised as "Righteous Among the Nations" by Israel's Holocaust memorial institution, Yad Vashem. After the war, she stayed in Greece and founded a Greek Orthodox nursing order of nuns known as the Christian Sisterhood of Martha and Mary. After the fall of King Constantine II of Greece and the imposition of military rule in Greece in 1967, she was invited by her son and daughter-in-law to live at Buckingham Palace in London, where she died two years later. Her remains were transferred from a vault in her birthplace, Windsor Castle, to a Russian Orthodox convent on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem in 1988. Alice was born in the Tapestry Room at Windsor Castle in Berkshire in the presence of her great-grandmother, Queen Victoria. She was the eldest child of Prince Louis of Battenberg and his wife Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine. Her mother was the eldest daughter of Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, the Queen's second daughter. Her father was the eldest son of Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine through his morganatic marriage to Countess Julia Hauke, who was created Princess of Battenberg in 1858 by Louis III, Grand Duke of Hesse. Her three younger siblings, Louise, George, and Louis, later became Queen of Sweden, Marquess of Milford Haven, and Earl Mountbatten of Burma, respectively. She was christened Victoria Alice Elizabeth Julia Marie in Darmstadt on 25 April 1885. She had six godparents: her three surviving grandparents, Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse, Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine, and Julia, Princess of Battenberg; her aunts Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna of Russia and Princess Marie of Erbach-Schönberg; and her great-grandmother Queen Victoria. Alice spent her childhood between Darmstadt, London, Jugenheim, and Malta (where her naval officer father was occasionally stationed). Her mother noticed that she was slow in learning to talk, and became concerned by her indistinct pronunciation. Eventually, she was diagnosed with congenital deafness after her grandmother, Princess Battenberg, identified the problem and took her to see an ear specialist. With encouragement from her mother, Alice learned to both lip-read and speak in English and German. Educated privately, she studied French, and later, after her engagement, she learned Greek. Her early years were spent in the company of her royal relatives, and she was a bridesmaid at the marriage of the Duke of York (later King George V) and Mary of Teck in 1893. A few weeks before her sixteenth birthday she attended the funeral of Queen Victoria in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, and shortly afterward she was confirmed in the Anglican faith. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thehistoryexpress/support

It’s not a monumental proposal without the exceptional moment being accompanied by a remarkable diamond engagement ring. The most expensive royal engagement rings in the world are in possession of the royals and the public loves to talk about them. So herewith Peter Wilson in Rocky River - a Certified Gemologist at Howard's Jewelry Center in Cleveland, let's explore 5 unique and most expensive royal engagement rings of all times. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark Crown Princess of Denmark, Mary's freakish royal engagement ring. It highlighted an evaluated one and a half–carat emerald-cut diamond flanked by two emerald-cut rubies says Peter Wilson in Rocky River. And since her matrimony, she has supplemented two supplementary diamond baguettes on both sides of the rubies. Crown Prince Frederik chose to give this ring to symbolize the shades of the Danish emblem. Depending on the essence and precise aspects of the diamond and gemstones, it has been estimated that the cost of the innovative ring will be around $25,000 to $30,000. Meghan Markle's Ring The ring that the Prince represented to his wife Meghan was particularly customized by him. According to Peter Wilson in Cleveland, the ring featured a 5-carat diamond that is framed with two 0.75 carat round diamonds. It is also said that the ring was made from Princess Diana's personal collection. Also, the ring is modernized from a unique traditional strap style with diamonds. The middle jewel's Botswana origin is studious of Prince Harry and Meghan’s peculiar relationship with the country and their bestowed devotion to social and environmental accountability. The cost of the ring is estimated to be $120,000. Queen Maxima's Royal Engagement Ring Queen Maxima is incipiently from Argentina, but now she is the Goddess of the Netherlands. She was proposed by now King Willem-Alexander with an oval-shaped diamond ring. This ring is also in the color that symbolizes the national color of the Netherlands, orange. There is no erudition about the specific price because the ring is unprecedented and the gem is rare, so the approximated value of the ring is between $20,000 and $200,000. Queen Victoria's Ring Throughout her reign in the 19th Century, it was customary for a female monarch, due to her extraordinary status, to propose to her prospective fiancé. Queen Victoria’s royal engagement ring, by today’s measures, had a freakish and somewhat inquisitive design – a serpent. It may appear like an incredible leitmotif for a ring that signifies love, but serpents at the time signified wisdom, integrity, and responsibility. The ring had a mix of jewels, rubies, and diamonds set in it. Also, it was colorful like her personality. Queen Elizabeth's Royal Engagement Ring In the year 1947 Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten bestowed to Queen Elizabeth with an embroidered and vintage diamond engagement ring. The delicate platinum ring showcases a three-carat diamond flanked on every side by five more petite diamonds. Before he intended the proposal, Prince Philip put a lot of insight into the design of the ring to combine emotional value to the engagement ring. He incorporated a series of diamonds from a tiara his mother, Princess Alice wore back in the day. The ring is absolutely an exceptional piece of jewelry that most unquestionably ads to the Queen’s diamond collection.

Alexandra Feodorovna, formerly Princess Alix Victoria Helena Louise Beatrice Von Hesse and By Rhine, was grand daughter to Queen Victoria, daughter of Princess Alice of Great Britain, and the last Tsarina of Russia. As a young woman, Alex fell in love with Nicholas, the heir to the Russian throne. The feelings were mutual, and they were married, but instead of living happily ever after, their lives were set on course for tragedy of epic proportions, the repercussions of which are still felt to this day, over a hundred years later.

When Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901, his eldest child, 17-year-old Alice, rose quickly to celebrity status. The public loved hearing about the exploits of the poker-playing, gum-chewing “Princess Alice,” who kept a small green snake in her purse. By the time she died at age 96, Alice, whose Dupont Circle home included an embroidered pillow with the phrase  “If you can't say something good about someone, sit right here by me,” was such an institution in DC politics that she was known as The Other Washington Monument.Joining me in this episode is Dr. Michael Patrick Cullinane, Professor of U.S. History and the Lowman Walton Chair of Theodore Roosevelt Studies at Dickinson State University in North Dakota, author of several books on Theodore Roosevelt, and host of the The Gilded Age and Progressive Era Podcast.Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.
