The Extraordinary Life Of Princess Alice | Queen's Mother-in-Law | Real Royalty

- Опубліковано 8 лют 2020
- Few have heard of the Queen’s mother-in-law, Princess Alice. And yet, the life story of Prince Philip’s mother almost defies belief.
A great granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Prince Philip’s mother married into the Greek royal family - only to see the Greek monarchy overthrown by revolution. Fleeing into exile, she suffered a severe nervous breakdown. She was locked away and subjected to experimental treatments by psychiatrists - including Sigmund Freud himself. The trauma had a shattering effect on Princess Alice’s marriage and led to a fractured childhood for her only son Prince Philip.
Philip’s mother eventually fought her way back from mental illness, and became an unlikely hero of World War II - risking her life to hide a Jewish family. When her son married the future Queen Elizabeth in 1948, Alice turned down the option of a cosy royal life. Instead she chose to dedicate herself to working with the poor in Greece, gave away all her possessions and even founded her own religious order.
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

I love this Channel. Thanks so much for your hard work!:)
--she produced 4 daughters- is really a shameful sentence..
Please keep You Tube going, too. I don't do Facebook. Thanks.
Bumped into this channel. I am enjoying it.
A Fascinating video worth watching. I was so saddened by her depiction in The Crown as compared to this history of her. I agree with the other posts that she was a marvelous selfless, non-materialistic woman who did so much for others. She was also true to herself and that earns my respect and admiration.
It's very ironic. She was not very popular but Princess Alice is probably the royal who is MOST worthy of respect. She was saint-like and had a heart of gold.
THE TRUTH!
Right, saving lives is so much sainthood!
Well said!
Could it be that The Queen Mum chose to remain in England during the war because of Princess Alice?
@@powerhouseent886Doubtful. She always said: “The princesses will not leave without me. I will not leave without the King. And the King will never leave.”
To be able to lip read in 3 languages by age 18? What a remarkable woman she was!
She was deaf, but she did have some hearing, I believe. Without a little bit of hearing the likelihood that she could not only lipread, but speak, multiple languages is extraordinarily small. I don’t think anyone tested her hearing, though, so we don’t know how much hearing she had.
i knew a deaf woman, her mom taught her lip reading ate age 2, because everywhere you go in life people don't use sign language.
@@marilynwillett804 Lip reading can certainly be taught to children who have no hearing at all, and a lot of kids can learn at least some of it independently. Some can be taught to speak quite well. The techniques for teaching people to speak are still relatively recent, and even with technology, it’s really hard to get speech that can’t be recognized as someone with at least ‘unusual’ sounding speech. (Cochlear implants have completely changed the landscape, of course). Doing it in five languages, in her era, by 18 is very, very unlikely. The vast majority of people who are considered deaf, even now, have some hearing. Helen Keller had some hearing and some vision, for example. Id be very surprised if Princess Alice didn’t have at least some residual hearing. Which of course, doesn’t make her achievement any less remarkable.
This was a lady who overcame a physical impediment, survived the brutality of her royal family, the abandonment of her husband and daughters, and still showed them all how much humanity and service was in her heart. This is a true royal.
Abandoned by daughters too ?? 😮😮
They dared raise their brow at Phillip's wedding because of his unconventional mother? She was a hero. She was the bravest of them all. May God Bless Princess Alice, EarthAngel.

plus she was a british royal in the first place born in Windsor Castle
She was beautiful. And appears very sweet. Very brave woman.
@@ben.slowdiveand she can flex that Queen Victoria was present when she was born! 😎💅
@@theelitemanticore151 not just that Queen victoria was so fond of her that she learn sign language for Alice.
This woman deserves a film or an entire series dedicated to her.
THERE IS A FILM IN BLACK AND WHITE
Lots of Pictures of Lots of Family and Country Royalty
I agree. She' was a strong and very wise woman. And not only series but her story must also be included in history books for all generations to read and know about her bravery and dedication.
@@CharliesAngelTarot what's the name of the film?
Countess Alice the film was made from a play in1992i believe
She hid her friends in her house risking her own death! Helping injured soldiers on the front lines!! She didn’t have to, she choose to! This lady is wonderful. Independent. Caring, Un-materialistic, Genuine, A leader, a phenomenal women!!! Rest In Peace.
Swim Swim yes she definitely had a honorable noble soul.
john grogan How about a bit of follow-up on Phillip being a Nazi? Terrible Accusation. Not my favorite guy- but a Nazi? Doubt that would have won over the Queen.
john grogan I will read up however I’d hate to have my relatives be accused of my misdeeds. You may have him confused with Edward VIII.
john grogan hi any chance you can list some your valid sources please
True. She was a good human lady. That's why her son is consort king.
It seems like Princess Alice was the very definition of kindness, grace and a life of extraordinary service! The very idea that she risked her life to save Jews during the war and wanted to be buried in Israel (in spite of the fact that her family was filled with Nazi sympathizers) is incredible! Would be nice if more attention was paid to her and she was celebrate! RIP Princess Alice💔
What was that big blotch under her eye?
Alice is the one royal who truly needs to be recognized and celebrated. I do hope a movie is forthcoming.
Prince Philip's life was a miracle considering the chaos of his childhood. Now we understand where his character came from. What a great tribute to his amazing mother!
The chaos is what helped make him who he was.. a gentle, charming and funny man. I have always said..just because one is a royal..or famous and wealthy..does not mean life will be a gentle breeze. We all suffer tragedy and problems of every kind in life..they are no different. They also have the added burden of the press..paparazzi..no privacy ? Being followed everywhere you go. No thanks. I would rather be who I am..Joe public.
Prince Philip was dashing handsome man.
Exactly. Nothing like a praying mama.
Yes that why his very gentleman & loyal to the queen until end of his life. Rip Prince Philip tq for your great example.
@@jackcumming3663 funny how she would marry prince Andrew considering the mother being crazy locked up so many times. It's all weird.
Looking at the so called Royal family today they are lazy greedy cruel people I have no respect for them. Only one may be HUMAN is Prince Harry and even he has gone off the deep end n marry this Megan person. U can see Alice in Harry a bit. The rest of the royals are worthless money grabbers. No respect for them at all.
It's wonderful that Princess Anne wore Princess Alice's tiara in her wedding, honoring Prince Phillip.
I understand that Philip used diamonds from that tiara to have them used for the future Queen's engagement ring (which he designed), so I don't think Ann could have worn that tiara...
Anne wore the same tiara as her mother did in her wedding.
Zara (Anne's daughter) Wore the meander tiara for her wedding. Princess Alice gave the meander tiara to Queen (then Princess) Elizabeth on her wedding. The Queen, then gave it to Anne, who used to be seen wearing it as a teen/young woman. Anne wore Queen Mary's Russian fringe tiara at her wedding. Anne lent the tiara to Zara for her wedding. I assume the tiara will remain in Zara's hands after her mother passes.
She should have been there not just her tiara. That was cruel.
@@kayt9576Princess Alice had died by then.
"Be brave. You will always find me when you need me most. Your loving mama"...RIP MOTHER and SON!
Im tearing up reading this since it reminded me that nobody was by her side when she needed them most. And she wasn't there for her son when he needed him when he was young. To her it must mean something so she left it to her son. It sound like a relief as if her death enables her to be with him at any time. A form of compensation and a blessing.
💕👏💕
?@@aprilhaney4969 z??? ???
Ugh this broke my heart when they read her letter. How many endless nights did she cry in solitude and missing and longing for her children and her son. Her love never ended for her son even if he was cold to her. ❤️
@@iyearn1993 Philip was not cold to her. She actually lived her last 2 years with him at Buckingham palace and he fulfilled her last wish by burying her in Jerusalem. He loved her and he was not afraid to show it.
I noticed at Philip’s wedding, Queen Mary misstepped badly. The queen mother instantly turned to her side to share a quick smile, and most likely get an instinctive bit of reassurance from Princess Alice. Alice instantly gave her a lovely smile of exactly that. I think Queen Mary must have whispered something like, “I almost fell”. Another nice moment at that wedding was when Princess Alice gave a small motion and pointed at something to get an antsy little boy in the wedding party to settle. I am so glad Prince Philip was able to arrange her final resting place as she desired. How moving his words and presence in Israel to receive the great honor his mother deserved. That must have been incredibly emotional for him, even as tough and brusque as he could sometimes be I think.
No
@@helendrysdale3945why NO😂
During the German occupation in Athens Greece, my father met this remarkable woman and worked together helping the starving
Greeks. Princess Alice is one of the very few royals the Greeks loved and respected.
May God grant her life everlasting!
... and later on, she was put unwillingly and with force to the Hospital authored by her husband, exile Prince Andrew, she was seen as a burden to him. Another fact is that Princess Alice is not the first Princess/Prince being put/stored away from family and the public.
@Brandy Baker very good! This woman was extraordinară,but dont forget Diana!!
I cry for you prinsesse ,you did what you thougt was right! You were a very good woman!!i cried when i saw this reportache!! God blame the rest of the people who Will never understand!!!
I bet you nearly fainted when your father told you. I surely would have.
Wonderful woman! Born of royalty, but lived her life in service to the sick, injured, orphaned, and poor. A true disciple of Christ.
Princess Alice truly represents the spirit of Jesus's dearest friends, Mary and Martha, in her life-long love and dedication for humankind.
Diane you said a mouth full ,i agree
WHY OTHER PERSON WAS ON SHOW TO PRESS ...............DECEPTION SICK COMMONER
No
If only christians were more like her, more like the christ they claim to love, then maybe I wouldn't dislike the whole thing so much, but she was a truly rare being
" A woman of valour who can find, for her price is far beyond rubies". Thank you for posting this fascinating story of Princess Alice.
Princess Alice deserves respect and praise, not being shunned and ignored. She was a nurse for 10 years during war, and harboured Jewish friends in Nazi occupied Greece, founded her own religious order and served the poor. She gave literally everything she had and yet was a royal. Smart, compassionate, selfless, and wanted to be a good mother. After what she'd been through, all she needed was someone to talk to, to hear her, and understand and sympathize. Instead, her husband basically abandoned her emotionally and physically along with his own children, and mother who committed her... so heartless and sheer evil! At least she spent her last days with her son under one roof.
Princess Alice ' life is one of service, sacrifice and extraordinary courage. Prince Philip should be proud and honored to have her as a mother. She was able to overcome enormous emotional, mental and even social adversity. The life of other royals pale in comparison to this remarkable woman.
She battled against the Devil in all fronts. She won.
agree with u
I do (too) agree.
Agreed, this woman had such strength and conviction
Prince Philip should have written a book about her. Did he?
She is the most badass princess ever. They should make a movie based on her life so more people can find out about her.🥺🖤
Agree!
True
She was unique in her way/s .
A special woman who tried to make life better for others
Please, NO. They will cheapen and commercialise it esp the sensational aspects.. everything Hollywood or Netflix touches will turn to 💩.
Diana as well!
I am so moved by her story. What strength she had to survive the torture of incarceration, mental illness and persecution and then give her all to people in need. Thank you so much for posting this
What an amazing woman! I was crying , thinking of her courage, even though ,all she went trough in her life. Her family should be very proud of her.
This blew my mind. - Especially when she turned up at Queen Liz II’s Coronation in her grey Nun Dressing! True Heart of a Servant.
She served God first!😎🙏❤
Badass move she is my hero 😆❤️
Wasn’t that great?
Princess Alice was betrayed by her own mother and her husband was indeed a traitor to his own wife while she stood by him supporting him and bearing children. What a tragedy for such a BEAUTIFUL and UNIQUE woman who was so brave❤ RIP
Yes, we can see how so often an intelligent woman of strong opinions finds her husband less than thrilled with a female with a voice. Her husband turned out to be more concerned with himself, than with his family, and blaming her - it was her outrageous behavior that made him leave. Being Deaf since birth, and learning to speak was amazing. I can see that Prince Philip inherited the drive and energy, ability to adapt , and the intelligence from his mother. It is so sad to think how much of their lives were spent apart in this life but the paralle of both their lives in Service and Devotion for others is so evident. What are Jewels but pretty stones with no inherent value , a false value placed by greedy souls. Princess Alice knew the true Value of Service outweighed the most expensive gem Man could find. A diamond is just carbon under pressure, A Soul that is rescued ,given shelter from the storm is the Gem that holds a Brilliance no Diamond could ever bestow. For each Beating Heart holds Memories, Tears and Joys, of Yesteryear echoes that really do not fade. But what - that helping hand was stayed , the Heart too selfish of it's own Desires -listened to the Voices who bleated " It is simply not done, think of the family , your reputation, your wealth. Why should you care for the child hungry on the street, the down and out begger, those Gypsies - their thieves. The answer is simple - there is the Need, Here is my Hand and my Heart. Princess Alice chose not only to See the pain of others, but do what she could to make it better in a practical, forthwright manner. Her jewels became valuable only after being sold to provide food, medicine and shelter to those turned away by those who had more resources to make a difference in saving lives, but had no compassion -- only judgement.
@@myrnaskogland1268 Very well put! You really get what made Alice so extraordinary! And I'm convinced that Prince Philip embodied his mother's values to a great degree. He no doubt wanted as well to repudiate the actions of his good-for-nothing father and spiritually bankrupt sisters and grandmother.
I only wonder why a huge chunk of your comment was crossed out? By the way: forthright, not forthwright.
What an incredible woman. Treated so shoddily by her family and still she persevered in her life dedicated to others. A movie or at least a TV series should be produced by Alice.
Please!
Not treated badly by her son.
History and biographies are so mind boggling when an entire dateline of a fulfilling life is presented.
I could not pause until the end. What a remarkable woman was princess Alice!
She sounds like the kindest, most warm hearted noble to have ever been born in that family . God rest her soul.
Poor women all she wanted to hug her kid she was the only normal person on this sick family

SHE WAS SEND TO HOSPITAL BY MOTHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@elzbietakopczynska6499 Elizabeth
What a wonderful woman . Abondaoned and betrayed by her own family when she needed them the most . And still lived a life of purpose and meaning. Inspirational
I'm very touched by the story of princess Alice. She was a very strong woman who went through a lot of pain in her life. Yet all she wanted was to help the ones in need, rather than live like a princess. Courageous human being who deserves to be remembered and honored for her dedication and great heart.
After watching this documentary, princess Alice is my favourite Royal. She is deserving of sainthood. Any woman who forgoes her own hunger to feed others is selfless humanity. She was a beautiful person. There’s a difference between a life of service, and a life of ceremonial service.
She's earned her crown where it counts.... In heaven for eternity!!
Ellie: Truer words, never said! You take to heaven what you gave away; what you kept, you leave behind.
Most lovely crown, I shall say.
🦚 And today she was joined by her son, Philip ! 🕊
A TRUE EXAMPLE OF A BONDSERVANT, SOLD OUT TO CHRIST........A RARETY.
LORD JESUS, HELP US TO BE MORE LIKE YOU, WE REPENT OF OUR SINS.

I had to remind myself that this remarkable woman accomplished all she accomplished and experienced all she experienced while DEAF. Absolutely amazing woman. Also, of all of Queen Victoria's multitudinous offspring, it is this woman who is the grandmother of the future King of Great Britain. May she rest in peace.
There is a letter he wrote to his daughter Anna which is still in existence, where he openly joked about how the nonsense he spouted caught on so well as real doctoring. He made it up. He knew he made it up and only did it to get noticed. Even he was surprised it took off. He did a lot of damage as a result.
Exactly ! Imagine that . All while deaf. It’s extraordinary 💜❤️🌷 rip

@@hilaryc3203 Hilary, did u mean Freud made up his theories?
I had tears in my eyes after listening to Princess Alice story! What a brave women and wonderful too!
Princess Alice lived a remarkable life! She lived by her own terms and decided the path of her own destiny despite the opposition she faced. RIP.
It's a dream whenever a person is not responsible for financing their own life
the princess who hates diamonds, jewelries, royal possessions and lavish life... working in a front line in war..serving for the people in needs... woww...really hard to find in a royal families before and nowadays..
Yeah, she was the real charity and not the Royal charity of now.
She’s the real deal. Kudos for her.
Princess Diana was the closest the Royal family had to her. Had she live, who knows what she would have accomplished.
And “
S Yy 6Now I See
@@ladymarjorie3777 Diana never did anything without publicity... Pure vanity and PR. Comparing her with the woman who literally risked her life for others is offensive. She was a queen of a... Philistines hearts...
She stood by her husbands side even up to the hour of his stay of execution, and he outright abandons her when she becomes 'ill', leaving decisions of her health to her mother. What an awful man to do such a thing. Through immense sorrow and adversity she pulls through and dedicates her life to the service of others. What a remarkable, treasure of a human being she was. RIP Princess Alice , the truest example of a Royal human being there ever was...
@Jael_Kalashnikov - All you say for the tragic life of Alice is on point, but it's unfair to be so harsh on her husband. They were all victims of terrible war and cruelty, and he was not equipped or in a position to care for her mental illness. No one was, we barely have a grasp of it now.
@@jbdbean242 Very true, I just feel he could have done less 'living it up as a carefree bachelor' in Europe, while poor Alice suffered away at the Sanatorium. However, events as tragic as they were for her, made her into the truly remarkable and selfless woman she became and will forever be remembered as...
@@jaelkalashnikov3833 VHik
I know there are women who are unknown heroins who has gone the same experience truly saintlike
Sadly, he didn’t knew better, most people, specially men, didn’t. She was what a queen should be.
The royals were a bunch of asses. What horrible subhumans, to leave their family, when they are needed most.
What a wonderful woman princess Alice was. A mother any son would be proud of. And now, just as she promised, they are together.
Nice amaizing history and peaceful
Amazing woman! She really lived a life of service and simplicity.
“The wonderful Princess nun Alice.” Really she deserves a movie! and now is reunited with his loved son that never abandoned her. R.I.P. both.
She does
This is good enough 👌
What a remarkable woman! Her previous years did not deter her, did not break her, did not make her bitter but better. Eventhough she is royal, she gives herself to serve others. I think her story is absolutely fascinating.
Thank you for an unbelievable presentation of H. R. H. Princess Alice, who is a real Saint in the full meaning of the word.
From the top roof of my residence, I can see the Russian Pravoslav Church, at the border of the cemetery on Mt. Of Olives in Jerusalem. I feel that it is a unique honour to have her remains in Israel's capital. One remember her noble action, to save lives of people who became victims of Europe's viciousness and in humanity. SHE RECUED the dignity of Europe in its darkest hour. I dare say, she rose above the crowd of royal houses who looked at her from above, not realising that she flies high above them.
Rest in Peace!
She was true ROYALTY, a daughter of the real King. The rewards and mansions she has now far surpass anything earthly Royal families could ever have!!! What a blessing to have a mother like this lady!!!
💯
Who was her father please ? They really treated them barbaric in them days didn’t they 😢 they still do electric shock treatment in Britain I didn’t know that till a girl came back to the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 and shortly killed herself afterwards I’m assuming it’s not like it used to be god knows what they’re still doing to people that haven’t got families etc 😢
Her father was a German Prince. Not a King. Her mother was Queen Victoria's granddaughter and that's why she was born in Windsor Castle.
I never saw a royal lady more sane than her!
The unsung heroine of history!
That poor woman's life was a real Greek tragedy. Any one of her experiences is extraordinary on its own, but collectively her story is just incredible. Her own suffering in life was like a merciless thread through so many various times and forms of human suffering and cruelty.
Certainly sheds a light on Prince Philip's tough childhood. All the more respect to him.
Agreed.
Prince Phillip must have gotten his strength and loyalty from his mother!
He was a pedo and hunted, trafficked and sacrificed children - they are NOT the real royals. Wake up people
she was brave as hell, and she was a godsend. She really loved her son.
How I wish people understood PTSD back then in the way we are beginning to understand it today. Poor lady.
What a remarkable woman. I'm sorry it took this long to get her story told. Philip and the rest of the family should be so proud of her.
She loved Philip so much she waited for him to have a secure life before giving up her royal highness! Ugh, what a QUEEN!
Sands brock
So why on earth do ypu say "ugh" then? Totally inappropriate!
@@thorunnsleight4199 People do that these days. It's ignorance. They don't know it's a sign of disgust. They think it's the opposite.
An incredibly intelligent woman and quite brave! Philip got his courage from her as his father was a coward. I adore this woman! Masterpiece Theatre, get on it!
Every time I see somebody posting a video of them helping the homeless I'm going to think about this video and Princess Alice cause this is the true definition of a humanitarian may she rest in peace and never be forgotten 💔🙏🏻😔❤
Wow what an inspiring story of a true humanitarian, she lived true to her purpose.
It broke my heart when she wrote Phillip a letter saying she'd rented a small flat and she was looking forward to his going to live there with her. Aww, man, that was sad. 😭
Wonder who and how the news got to her that her children died on the plane crash...
@@TheAlixtxe
I believe they killed them poor women all she wants to live with her kids
Alix Txé jv
... what? did I miss something? I never heard that. Only her final letter which was also very touching
Also the news about her daughter.. A letter at the very least? she wasn't locked up at the time, she was deaf not blind
Tears covered my eyes too with thst letter
What an amazing woman! It's really a shame that she's not well known. She deserves recognition as the heroic person she was.
Bless Her Heart!!! A lot of her problem was her sorry husband. Yes she does deserve a book & a movie about her!!! She was AWESOME!!!
Being American, I'm not a huge follower of the RF. But I was deeply saddened for the Queen when Prince Phillip passed. Now I know the rest of the story. It's an amazing piece of history. I truly enjoyed her story. Thank you for sharing.
She was a real treasure in the royal family. It is wonderful that Phillip saw her last wishes through.
Doctors say that 3rd Degree is the cut off for intermarriage to be safe. 2nd degree can result to Hemophilia and other diseases.
Yes indeed, it truly speaks volumes about Prince Philip...he certainly loved her! Rest her beautiful Soul.
Shannon M. : Prince Philip kept his word to his MOMMA - so that says it all - of the man he is 😀❤️
I think she probably experienced conversion and did have a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ, which was demonstrated by her actual behavior and works in her life. I would say she will rest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Hello beautiful Shannon👋💕
I hope you are doing very alright?
Princess Alice is the reason why I don't believe accusations that Prince Philip is involved in Diana's death. He knows how it feels to loose a mum as a kid.
Diana said so herself that she and the Duke of Edinburgh have good relationship. He actually sided with Diana when Charles infidelity was first discovered.
He lost his sister and her entire family in a plane crash. He wouldn't take the mother of his grandchildren. The media needed someone to blame instead of looking squarely in the mirror.
Not dead ela tá viva no Brasil!
Philip´s hatred of Camilla is a reason for me. He fought hard to keep Charles and Diana married, as letters between him and Diana attest. He even wrote at one point, that he thought Charles was sick in his head, because no man in his right mind would have left Diana for someone looking like Camilla. Diana revealed her + Philip had nicknamed Camilla ´´The Rottweiler´´.
It was Philip that for years after Diana´s death that opposed Charles marrying Camilla and he didn´t want to be in the same place with her.
He mellowed quite a lot with age and there was shock not only when he finally gave his blessing to the marriage, but when he attended the marriage blessing.
His background made him a straight talking kind of guy, but he was a good man.
@@mamahustru At the expense of his grandsons' happiness? I don't think so. If he has that criminal, he could've done it to Camilla coz that's easier.
She was a compassionate caring woman, she had a hard life, divorce, mental illness, exile. Philip grew up fast, made him stronger in character, he knew very well what a hard life was.
Depression is not mental illness. You need to learn what is accurate, before making statements.
@kayt9576 From the internet, "According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Mental illness refers to “conditions that affect a person's thinking, feeling, mood, or behavior." So yes, depression is a mental illness, one that needs to be taken seriously.
Also, I don't think they were talking about depression. Princess Alice had paranoid schizophrenia, which is also a mental illness.
I have never been interested in royalty or anything like it. I watched “The Crown” and learning about princess Alice sent down a rabbit hole. I love great stories. Especially today when everything is evil. Its hard to find good shows. A movie about this woman would be something worth watching. Those of us that admire this woman who maintains humility after all the trials shows what all Christians should do. It not tons of rules and buildings. Be a good person and help less fortunate always everyday every opportunity. Sometimes you have to get out and be around others to know where you are needed. God bless Princess Alice. I hope one day i will have funds to tell a great story like this instead of these made up stories they put on tv now. Good people are out there we just have to look. God bless everyone. Be generous to all. We never know others situation and we are not to judge either.
Yes ! There are good people out there! And yes! It does take looking for positive in people! When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change! Can you imagine the solitude of being deaf and dealing with so many changes in life and horrific shocks and changes and challenges! How lonely! Hormones do have much to do with balance and mental health! Consider how much body changes during pregnancy, then after childbirth! And then after nursing and every pregnancy is different a woman’s body also Carrie’s the DNA of our children in our body for years ! And then betrayal and abandonment! Of course, it transforms a person ! I have said watching my seven daughter , start their cycle and being pregnant and having children and then stop nursing, the changes some had endured , was rather emotional for some and others were just fine! And how they were with one child was different than others! I had two daughters whom had the period 2 - 3 weeks and 1 off! Before hormone therapy getting that balance was absolutely life changing for the better! I pushed it and pushed until I found a Dr that actually considered what I suspected might be true and referred someone who actually was hearing and able to help! What a difference! Princess Alice is an inspiration of the possibility of finding balance again!
Her life should be known to the world. Hope someone or Netflix will produce her movie tribute.
Can we please honour her memory without all that Netflix or hollywood nonsense? There are plenty of biographies and books written about her in the library. People these days need to READ more instead of relying on trashy social media and entertainment sites for information.
Why the obessesion with turning every respectable character into Netflix and Hollywood crap? Chances are none of those will stick to the true story. They will overdramatised, fictionalised, sensationalised everything to within an inch of their lives. I've seen big budget Hollywood production of historical figures, and all of them were grossly historically inaccurate. And all these misinformation were created to sell the movies, and misled too. Reading is better, but I guess nobody have time for that anymore. Everything have to be presented in an easily digestible way
I too, hope they will make a movie or series about her. However please............ may it not be by Netflix!
Im glad Prince Phillip had more sense than his father. Now mother and son rest in peace.
"She was 93 when she gave this interview"
They build them tough, in the Royal Family!
Born in 1885... made her 82 in 1967
Princess’ Alice life was so sad from the moment her family put her in the hospital. However, in the end it brought her to live a very fulfilling life. For Prince Phillip as well!
She used to travel out to South Africa on a Union Castle mailship every year in her old age. I met her once. A remarkable presence.
Forgot to say she used to stay in a beautiful Muizenberg mansion on the seafront. It has long since disappeared.
She seems lovely everything about her sounds lovely
Did you get a chance to speak with her?
Thank you for sharing this information. As a South African I'm happy to hear about this remarkable woman.
As a South African, I am so happy to hear this!
Wow this was a incredible story. I had no idea. Poor Princess Alice. I can’t imagine being institutionalized because of her families intolerant views. I’m so happy she reconnected with Philip. A mother’s love is so strong.
Alice and Philip are now together in heaven.
Now ,this is a woman I truly admire. God bless her and her memory.
I must comment again... What a son Princess Alice had ... Honoring his mother's wishes Phenomenal🤗🤗🤗
Now this is a Movie let the casting begin
Agreed!
Princess Alices' story is too beautiful and marvelous. Making into a movie is an abomination.
🦚 Now that her son has passed away and all the interest in the Royals is so strong it’s a great time. 🕊
Please dear God, help me to be sacrificial and love others and not be materialistic just like this wonderful woman
Same, I pray that as well.
Amen Amen
👏👏
She led the most remarkable life I've ever heard about! Amazing lady!
How amazing she was..still is. A beautiful misunderstood soul..but she stood steadfast. Remarkable!
She was one special woman. Not war, life difficulties and her own family would deter her. Her life began difficult and almost all her life she needed to prove something in order to belong, be accepted and be loved. I was about to say that she’s full of surprises… but that would not give her justice… she’s a woman of strength and puts herself fully in whatever she does. The story between her and Prince Philip was heartbreaking… but they were so similar in many ways including the looks! Thanks for sharing her story…
Having been born deaf and having to find a way to communicate, serving on the front lines of war as a medic, then being exiled and losing everything it plausible knowing what we do now that this poor woman suffered from PTSD. It’s amazing she lived as long as she did with what the psychologists of the time subjected her to. Her life was remarkable and so very sad.
very traumatic indeed
And like many other members of the royal family, Alice smoked like a chimney. QE II's father, grandfather and great grandfather all died of cancer due to smoking (as did her sister Princess Margaret).
She had more moxie, strength,and toughness that 98% of the Royal Family...
Princess Alice the most underrated and underestimated princess of all time. Can we please get a "hell ye" for Alice 😌😌🙏♥️♥️
Heck ya*
He'll yes!
Wow are you kidding me??!! Hell yeah hooray for princess Alice I bet prince Philip was proud of her.
What an amazing life Princess Alice had!! A Beautiful soul :) Heck YEAH!!
Hell yeah!
What a shame it was not mentioned that her Aunt Elizabeth, who married Sergi of Russia became a nun and founded in 1908 the Martha & Mary Convent of Mercy in Moscow. Alice adored her aunt and wanted to be like her. She also wanted to be buried near Elizabeth in the church in Jerusalem. They both rest in the same location now. Alice in the special place seen in the video and Elizabeth upstairs in the church next to the altar.
Well of course that the Christian Orthodox church should not be mentioned and ignored. I begin to doubt the story about her imagining a romantic relationship with the Lord. And the diagnosis given by the non - Christian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud was probably bs.
X-rays on her ovaries by Sigmund Freud? „Today we would laugh about it“...??? Pardon? This was an intent to harm and destroy/ kill her slowly. I admire Princess Alice for allwhat she did and her spiritual strength. RIP Truly a saint.
Freud was a fraud.
It was an attempt to reduce her libido in hopes she would realize she wasn’t screwing Jesus and could function in public. Schizophrenia is a severe diagnosis with no known cure.
this was cruel
I need a freaking series of her life. I've been longing for it for years. Her royal highness has surpassed any blue blood then to our present unchangeable, thoughtless, and made true power moves for the sake of humanity. "What a Hero she was".
Why do you need a series ? History books, Wikipedia, this documentary are factual, not some romanticized, spiced up vehicle to make money and attract lazy viewers
Man it’s sad to see Prince Phillip kept from his mom until such time he felt he HAD to do something for her. Here she was trying to literally make the world a better place. She seems so open hearted so generous.
What a wonderful woman.
What a courageous and remarkable woman. I love watching these they were never taught in school. Thank You 🇺🇸
She battled all forms of the Devil's work in her life - physical, emotional and spiritual. She won because of her faith in God. She's a true definition of a saint.
True. Actually there is every reason that she should be sainted, if there was ever a person who should be. Also Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Raoul Wallenberg.
Though i'm catholic, I totally agree with the definition of her being a christian saint
Nope, just good old fashioned mental illness. God, devil and saints are made up.
@@mdsign001 Everyone has their own beliefs, I believe everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.
@@snowstorm4789 ķ,
Wow! What an amazing women! Phillip never stopped loving his mom! He was her only son and made certain she was with him no matter what!
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
Hello beautiful 👋💕
I hope you are doing very alright?
yet we only hear 👂 of that now
Of the hundreds of the Royal Family documenteries I've watched, this is undoubtedly my favorite! Thank you for making it available to me in America.
Oh my goodness I see Princess Anne in Her grandmother Princess Alice!!!❤️
That was my first thought too! 🌹I see Alice, in Anne Princess Royal!
I did do, I made a similar comment. I think she looks more like Alice than Elizabeth
I have to say..she was a beautiful lady..inside and out.
Marion H totally agree. You also see a fierceness in her eyes.
@@JL0ndon She was very kind hearted from what I have read..
A tragic story. Princess Alice was so brave, she was a warrior, she was betrayed by all her family, her husband, She suffered so much. At the end she found her real calling on this Earth becoming a nun. Prince Phillip must have suffered a lot living most of his childhood, his teenage years without his mother. Rest in Peace, Princess Alice, and Prince Phillip, at last together in Eternity.
I agree!
It’s amazing how history kind of repeats itself in families. Prince William and Harry lived without their mother, after she died, from childhood on and their father wasn’t much of a part of their lives, either. It’s amazing Prince Philip turned out to be the man he was. He must’ve been so lonely, growing up.
We hope
@@alan30189 I think you’d be disappointed to know just how involved then-Prince Charles (now King) was with his sons. After Diana died, Prince Charles assumed the role of primary caregiver, spending more time with them than apart, showing them affection (all the more poignant when you recognize he had no such hands on emotional parenting himself) and for an extended period he kept them secluded from the invasive media and other intrusive eyes looking to make money from their loss. Both sons have shared their feelings about their father, their gratitude for his protection, love and stability. But reality doesn’t make for the sexiest narrative so people embellish or wholesale invent drama, as you’ve proven here sharing uncorroborated, tabloid worthy tales.
@@fashiondiva6972 you’re absolutely right!!! people try to make charles out to be such a bad father based off of the whole him and camila affair and how he handled his marriage to diana which has nothing to do with his fathering. i have seen many interviews and documentaries stating what a loving father he is and always was since the birth of his boys.
Phillip was right, it should be Princess Alice in the center of the stage. Hope they make series to respect her charity life. She's just everything in good quality.
I think it's great that after 2 decades Prince Phillip honored his mother's wishes.
Glad to find this documentary after watching the crown. She touched my heart. What a strong remarkable princes! God bless her soul.
Princess Alice’s life should be a movie. ❤️
What's even better are the many interesting books written about the Battenburg/Mountbatten branch of the family. Or any book regarding the descendants of Queen Victoria.
Phillip was arguably more royal than Elizabeth!
'No fixed abode!'
What a cry for help 😢
I’m glad she was able to attend her son Prince Phillip’s wedding.
i really sad about prince philip childhood day, to be seperated from his mother such a young age and was told by everyone that his mother was mad though not at all, how lonely he must be
I'm sad for Phillip, too. I had the same experience with my own children, who were taken from me. My family slandered my good reputation. My father used a Lazer to remotely stimulate my clitoris. Then my parents tried to force me to have sex with them, after they took my children from me. Then they falsely accused me of being insane. They are consumed by lust and jealousy. I do find it humorous now, because I did not know at that time that my family was spying on me through the power grid, which is exactly what the Nazi's secret police were doing to neighbors during WW2. When we all get to heaven, we will have a chance to tell our side of the story.
IKR!!! 'no fixed abode' killed me!!!!
He was likely taught that she was mad and believed it due his young age and not knowing anything else. I personally understand how hard it is to have a mother with paranoid schizophrenia but she is nothing like the remarkable Princess Alice; she rather uses her mental condition to excuse her drug addicted, selfish, self serving shitty actions and appalling lack of any maternal instincts/behaviors, etc. I always liked Prince Philip but I have a new found respect for this remarkable man and his commendable mother who shows what a real Royal should be like.
RIP Prince Philip, reunited with his mother now.
What an extraordinary life she had. I’m so grateful that she seemed to find peace and acceptance for who she was at the end of her life. She is the epitome of perseverance and determination. I hope Phillip knows what an amazing mother he had.
What a remarkable women. There should be a movie made of her. She is so deserving. But will there be? As it will make all the other royals look bad. I am so glad I came across this heart breaking and wonderful story. So inspirational.
Alice was such a remarkable woman. I'm glad Philip was able to see this about his mother, it must have given him a lot of pride.
What a tragedy, betrayed by her family. A noble woman who saved the lives of the of the Jewish underdog during the war! Quite a remarkable woman way ahead of her time. Bless the queen for taking her in when she did.
The best Royal!!! She was not mad. She was just Godly.
What an amazing life, indeed! A royalty who had lived her life for others. She's my kind of a true princess.
Phillip brought his mother home to Buckingham palace, what a kind son
yes ., he was not ashamed of his mother’s disabilities or unfortunate life journey
I always thought Phillip looked and acted nobly.
His mother is also descendant of Queen Victoria of England so she has also right.
@@margaritaalajar7366 a right that her own mother wouldn't give her as she wanted to hide her in a mental asylum. Only Price Philip and the Queen wanted her around.
In all the photos of the Prince's mother, ....it was the latter pics in which she looked the most radiant and natural.
Beautiful documentary. I love and respect Princess Alice. I felt for her many times during this program. Freud... NOW HE WAS THE CRAZY ONE!!!!
I so agree with you 💯... He definitely had issues makes you wonder what in the world happened when he was younger.
@@camh6328 lie on the couch .. (do some cocaine ..) tell me about your mother ..
lol
Valincia Pruitt He was brilliant if not quite correct about his initial hypotheses. He was on to something but wasn’t accurate in his guesses. Don’t toss terms like “crazy” around without knowing anything about the topic. Like expecting those in 200 BC to have gas stoves, ridiculous! Healthcare was so elementary at the time, learn about history please and then comment.
I was not aware of Princess Alice until I watched the Crown, so I was glad to find this documentary on UA-cam. She was an incredible woman.
@@alohalivin556 - Freud was a nutcase, a charlatan, a fraud - an egoist, a fantasist, a power-tripper - and did immeasurable damage.
I feel Princess Alice is a wonderful and amazing Mother she put all her strength effort to protect her family.A beautiful soul inside her.
Glad at the end of life she could live and died with her son Philip beside him. Thanks for share this Remarkable history.
Her life is an example for all of us! Remarkable woman! Rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
