Princess Alice, born deaf, founded an order of nursing nuns


Princess Alice and her son, Prince Philip


Princess Alice, born deaf in 1885, was the great grandmother of the Duke of Cambridge. A deeply religious woman, she was involved in many humanitarian efforts. She worked for the Red Cross, organized shelters for orphaned children and hid a Jewish family during the Holocaust.

In 1949, Princess Alice founded an order of nursing nuns and moved to a convent on the Greek Island of Tinos.
