Born in the castle of Windsor, the family seat of the royal House of Great Britain, Princess Alice of Battenberg, great granddaughter of the mighty queen Victoria, was destinated to be Princess of Greece.

Her services to her new homeland were remarkable. At the age of twenty seven, being already mother of three daughters, she found herself in the first line of the front during the Balkan wars, when Greece was about to liberate Thessaly, Macedonia and Epirus, in order to provide help for the Greek fighters. During World War II and the German occupation of Greece, she remained in Athens supporting the suffering population. The fact that she risked her own life by hiding Jews under persecution, demonstrates her great internal strength.

Her profound faith to God drove her to follow a religious path with great humanitarian and charitable activity, ending up her life clad in the monastic habit.

Her diversiform life through wars, revolutions, exiles, divorces and tragedies is presented through the pages of this book, with a unique vividness for the reader to follow… the path of destiny of Princess Alice.
