Of all Queen Victoria's nine children, none was more intriguing
than her second daughter, Alice. The contradictions in her
personality are so striking that, while she has often been
overshadowed by her more illustrious brother, King Edward VII, and
her brilliant sister, the German Empress Frederick, she remains to
this day an enigma, the depths of whose character are virtually
impossible to penetrate. By the time of her premature death at the
age of only thirty-five, Alice had lived through two wars, had lost
two of her children, and had exhausted herself in her devotion to
duty to the extent that she suffered from disillusionment almost to
the point of despair. Nonetheless, in the final tragic weeks of her
life, she met unimaginable grief with courage and serenity, and her
last words demonstrated her ultimate redemption and the beautiful
restoration of all she had loved and lost.
