Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark, also known as Princess Victoria Alice Elizabeth Julia Marie of Battenberg, was the mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and mother-in-law of Queen Elizabeth II. She was born in England as the great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria and the eldest child/daughter of Prince Louis of Battenberg. At the time of her birth, she was considered a slow child, but later it turned out that she was suffering from a hearing condition which made her prone to congenital deafness. In the early 1900s, she fell in love with Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and it was deemed a perfect royal match, and by the next year, the two young lovers were married. But she couldn’t bring her good luck with her as right after their marriage, the royal Greek family was forced into exile and eventually when the monarchy in Greece was restored in 1935; their life became stable once again. Although she was a beautiful and kind woman, she was prone to severe illness and by 1930 she was already suffering from schizophrenia, a mental illness. She was sent out for treatment and after returning back, she dedicated her life to charity. The wars, particularly the Second World War, affected her on a deeper level, and she offered refuge to Jews, being targeted by Nazi Germany. She was honoured with the ‘Righteous among the nations’ title for her efforts. She dedicated her later life in the service of Christianity.
