Princess Alice of Battenburg is perhaps best known as the mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. She lived a complex and challenging life, depicted in the Channel 5 documentary Princess Alice: The Royals’ Greatest Secret. The documentary told the story of Princess Alice, and how she was born deaf, went on to serve on the frontline as a nurse, and learned to lip read in four languages.
