Alice was the third child of Queen Victoria and prince albert, she was born in 1843. The name alice
was chosen by the priminster at the time Lord Melbourne, he had told the queen that it was his
favourite name and so the royal couple obliged.
Alice was raised alongside her other 8 siblings, she had a series of tutors and governesses that
looked after them all and ensured they got the right care and education that royal children were
privileged to.
She was a caring young girl and had been well known for being the families care giver, which led her to eventually take the role of caring for her dying grandmother. She would later take on the role of caring for her dying father also, and she took the brunt of the emotional turmoil in the family as she became a shoulder to cry on for Queen Victoria in the following years after her fathers death.
This was a lot of pressure and emotional strain for one young woman to take on, she was the face of the monarchy while her mother hid away from the public for years.
