Princess Alice, mother of Prince Philip, led an extraordinary life even by the standards of the Royal family. Born deaf at Windsor Castle, in the presence of her great-grandmother Queen Victoria, she was brought up in England, Darmstadt and Malta. However, after marrying Prince Andrew of Greece, her life was overshadowed by wars, revolutions, enforced exile and time spent in a Swiss sanatorium; and in later life she took to wearing the habit of a nun. Hugo Vickers tells her remarkable story for the first time in this intimate and revealing portrait.
