Lovely, well made film. I remember Princess Alice from as far back as the 1960s. She was born with 3 surnames, married late for those days and had 2 miscarriages. You can't help but feel for her that when her husband was so debilitated their son Prince William of Gloucester was killed in a flying accident. I remember that. The Duke of Buccleuch is still the largest landowner in Scotland and owner of several beautiful castles and obviously the Royal Family is extremely wealthy, yet I'd forgotten the Gloucesters gave the reading for giving up their Norfolk home as financial, which was disarmingly honest. She was almost 103 at the end. Thank you for this film.
Beautiful woman! She had such a natural grace!!!
Волшебная, уникальная, неземная💖🎻
Another wonderful post. I really enjoy the old film footage. Thank you for taking the time to research all these post and then posting.
Most interesting information about the life and tragedy Princess Alice endured. Tragedy struck twice with the loss of her eldest son William, then the stroke of her beloved husband , followed later by a second stroke which was to be fatal. I really felt for this lovely lady, who came from a privileged background, and sadly lost her father a few weeks before her wedding.
What this story denotes is the fact that in life, while you may be gifted in one respect, it does not give one everything. She is now at peace and reunited with her beloved family. RIP.🙏🙏
Rather similar to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Wonderful , it was so nice to be informed of such a beautiful and seemingly kind person...thank you
The bride in rose. Very well born, beautiful, educated, traveled, married at 34, lost two pregnancies, mother twice at 40, graceous, elegant, diligent, she is my favorite Duchess.
Today they just look like rich women, and here amongst us, a bunch of social climbers.
Such an unusual hand wave! A life of grace and elegance within the traditional British aristocracy.
Such a lovely lady, I remember seeing pictures of her, and the Duke, in newspapers etc when I was a child in the 50s.
Thank you for putting this great video on The Duchess Alice what a beautiful lady such a sad life losing her beloved father just before her wedding losing her eldest son Prince William in a horrific plane crash then the stroke of her beloved husband once then the second time which proved fatal what a wonderful woman may God bless her
What a lot of beautiful photos and videos. Thank you. Agree that speech would be much better than text. I believe she had an adventurous independent life as a young woman before her marriage.
Princess Alice died in 2004,aged 102! and is therefore (to date) the longest lived member of the Royal Family.
The queen mother was 102 as well, died right before Princess alice.
@@sharonisaac445 The Queen Mother was 101; she hadn't made it to her 102nd birthday.
Princess Alice of Athlone was 104, I think.
@@misscoutts6193Princess Alice of Athlone lived to 97. There were at one time three Princesses called Alice and it's easy to muddle them. Princess Alice of Athlone was Queen Victoria's youngest granddaughter. Princess Alice of Battenberg was Prince Philip's mother. This Princess Alice was Lady Alice Christabel Montagu Douglas Scott, who married Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester. She was a lovely lady, quite shy but very kind. When she was feeling particularly shy she would an an a to the front of words.
Wasn’t she beautiful? Amazing life she had.
All have gone with the wind now !!!!
Видео в конце милая, притягательная💖🔥
What a beautiful, if not heart wrenching story.
Thank you, this was wonderful!
Wow....she's 40 years old when she gave birth to Prince William of Gloucester...
Thank you for such a wonderful posting. Lady Alice was truly a beautiful women and Wife of the Australian Governor General. God rest her soul after so many crosses.
I remember being at the East of England Show in Peterborough when the Duchess officially opened the show.
Princess Alice is so beautiful i just discovered her right now. Another very beautiful royal is Queen Alexandra. Both are stunning!
Princess marina of kent, and princess alexandra of kent, princess marie louise, and princess michael are beatiful and grace as well
@@memingyu2976 I agree very much 😊
She was such a quiet, kind lady...nice ...☺shed some tears too...😢
This documentary about the late Princess Alice of Gloucester is remarkable. Her contributions to public service were numerous and despite personal tragedies, she managed to live an interesting life and appeared to shine best in the Red Cross. Beauty, brains and compassionate soul who retired at the age of 98. I am sure that she was a great friend of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II !
Such a classic beautiful lady unlike many royals in England
England doesn't have any Royals but the UK does.
She was Scottish
Different genetics!!🙄
Sazb B Elizabeth II is officially Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which means she is also officially Queen of England, Scotland and Wales. As well as Australia, Canada etc.
Campari Soda England didn’t conquer Scotland it united with it
She was beautiful until the end. Rip Amen 🙏🏻.
Fondly remembered and saluted by her niece, Queen Elizabeth, when she passed away. She was among the queen's favorite aunts. She was also very close to the Queen Mum Elizabeth. Not only were they sisters in law but had been friends before they married into the royal family.
And I believe related by blood and marriage through their aristocratic forebears
Didn't know that, thanks
A lovely lady
@@nancyhobson9710 so true. Such grace.
The Queen did look delighted to be celebrating her Aunt's 100th birthday with the Royal Family xoxo
Thank you for this wonderful tribute to Princess Alice , Duchess of Gloucester! She was such a beautiful and interesting woman and of course the music fits the video perfectly💗👏👌
Walk around limerick
I think what Peter Townsend mentioned about her in the end sums her up. Very beautiful lady and from such a wealthy background yet shy. Its so unfortunate the late Princess Margaret did not get to marry him. I have known of her from a book of photographs by Cecil Beaton.
Even being in her 90's she was so stylish
What a lovely tribute - well put together ,informative and lovely music
She was 40 years old when she had her first born William. She adored her boys.
🇺🇸 I CAN SEE WHERE THEIR SON THE BEAUTIFUL WILLIAM INHERITED HIS HANDSOME GOOD LOOKS AND LOVELY EYES FROM ⭐👑🎩
Thanks for this, very well done.
She was A Beauty. A Pure Beauty. Worked until 98yrs of Age.
Amazing Woman. Read her Memoirs. A Daughter of A Duke twice over. A double Duke. Of incredible wealth. Amazing Lady. one of the Last Real. Royal Duchess's.
A descendant of Charles II
Che grande donna e stata! Quanto dolore... quanto amore anche! Una vera madre, forte come una leonessa... fragile e isolata nel suo dolore. Gli occhi di una tigre che piange dopo essere stato catturata dal dolore. Quanto amore... dimenticata da tutti.
She was beautiful and reminds me of the Duchess of Cambridge. Does anyone else think so?
Well made video, I liked the music rather than a narration. You certainly worked hard to find all of the film clips and
still pictures. Thank you.
Beauty and grace til the end. A not well known Royal. Prince Charles named Prince William after her son who tragically died in a plane crash. ⚘
Prince William was very handsome.
Samantha Allen

It was actually Princess Diana who chose the name Prince William, she was inspired by Prince William of Gloucester
@@ashlee6772 Whatever. The point is that the current Prince William was named after Charles' cousin, Prince William.
@@ashlee6772 of was his uncle tho, but in Documentary it said charles idoled william
She is one of those rare women, like Jessica Tandy, who retain beauty into old age.
What a beauty!
Great video, thank you very much. I found 1 small mistake at 8:44 - her husband did not die on the 14th June 1973 but on the 10th June 1974. Other than that all is nicely prepared, I admire the music as well.
She was so beautiful and Prince William her son look so much like her
Truly a beautiful woman, looks so graceful.
she aged so gracefully a very handsome woman thank you
Beautiful lady and a total class act!
Every inch an aristocrat, born to serve her country.
Anyone else notice the Princess Grace resemblance.
TLPBRACCO. no? why should there be? Grace Kelly was working class woman descended from Irish background who happened to become an actress and she had many affairs, one with Clark Gable. anyway..........
Because, dear, she resembles Grace Kelly. Of course not due to blood. She simply does. Perhaps because classic features and graceful carriage are simply universally selected traits. Who knows? Don’t be prosaic .
Yes, was thinking that
Oh god 🙄🙄 nothing like princess grace ffs
No.
I just wish I could have read this.A beautiful soul.
Perfect music
This lady to me is someone who has ''fear of God'' in her. She was faithful. May she be in the safe haven of Our Lord Jesus forevermore. :)
Prince William was the very likeness of her - they almost look like twins when both in their 20's
Wow, her son Willian looked everything like his mother. He was the male version of her.
livelove &laugh The Duke of Cambridge was named for Prince William of Gloucester, who was a close friend of Prince Charles.
she reminds me of grace kelly
Has there ever been another example of two women (Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Alice Scott) who married brothers, and both of them lived past their 100th birthdays? I'd like to know if there is any other such example of sisters-in-law blessed with such longevity.
I guess this is what good life, no worries and loads of money does to you..
Beautiful woman....!!!!
It was great and I love how you told her story, but my only complaint is the music was too dark for this story. I had to turn down the volume or mute it.
She was the most beautiful royal.My all time favorite,with Alex second.
Beautiful and classy lady!!!
👑princess Alice beauty❤🌹🕯🙏🍂🍂🍂Bosnia & Herzegovina🇵🇾
Very interesting
No matter how many she/he has owned, how royal she/he was, how pretty she was.................all turned to ashes now ! What's the main aim at being human ? Just help the others who needed your help !
A classic beauty and picture of grace and class.
Can anyone tell me what music this is? Thank you.
seriously, u expect me to read that kris cross writing..
Show some respect my good man show some respect
@@williamf4544 are u talking abt ghost. for that video my comment is more then respectful.
@@rayblox4859 Ok i suppose it is you just need better spectacles to read kris cross - kind regards from Scotland
@@williamf4544 I have contact lens far sighted, it is hard for me to read, special when it is small and Latin alphabets. I'm sure lots of ppl out there like me.
Just pause it and read it. Make the video full screen also if you need to. There's nothing wrong with the text. You admitted that your eyes are the problem here.
Change your font; the text is unreadable. I would really like to read this.
Sherry Black I thought the same thing
The font in published video cannot be changed. The author has to edit the raw video.
I'm not sure what's wrong with the font. It's just fine to me. Just pause the video when it comes up so you have longer to read it if you need to.
And 42 when gave birth to prince Richard now Duke of Gloucester.
Married in 1935 Alice was part of the wealthiest
Family in UK at the time! Private rail coach, 😮😮4 huge mansions and palace! Wore pale pink grown to her wedding held in Buckingham Palace chapel due the death of
Her father.
I’m happy to have figured out why the Duchess of Gloucester was called “Princess Alice,” when she was not the daughter of a king or queen regnant, or of a Prince of the Blood. It was by courtesy of Queen Elizabeth II, at Alice’s request in her old age. I guess the press dubbed her “Princess Alice” after she married Prince William, made Duke of Gloucester at their marriage, but she was never a Princess, as her sister-in-law Marina was. Which is why Diana’s official title when she was married was, “The Princess of Wales,” and after the divorce, “Diana, Princess of Wales,” and only called “Princess Diana” by the press and other ignorants. And also explains why Katherine (Kent), Camilla, Sarah, Catherine, and Meghan aren’t royal princesses, and why Princess Alexandra and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenia are. I do think it strange, I admit, that Duchess Camilla can be Queen Camilla, when she couldn’t (with all the rest) be a Princess first, even if she was legally Princess of Wales bc she was married to the POW. What a bunch of silly minutiae!
Alice was 102 Year old
She was, and the oldest member of any Royal family ever. Also a member of our family. A lovely lady, quiet and shy, and she loved her garden.
Oh my!
Wasn't the Queen Mother also 101 at her death?
@@ingriddubbel8468 yes the queen mother was 101 year old and Princess Alice was the oldest people in the Royal family
104 I thought
Such a lovely face, delicate, fine features and an obvious beauty of spirit.
today i learn she’s descendant of Charles II.
Looks to be a lovely video but the letters were all so pushed together that I couldn't finish watching as it was hard to read.
Bella dama
Why put the text in the middle of the screen, blocking the view?
longest lived royal beating the queen mother by 1 year! both followed by phillip and elizabeth ii respectively. actually that is quite remarkable that we've had figures that legendary and long lived in this time so close together.
The subtitles are indistinct from the background. You should have written in black not white and the spaces in between need to be a little wider.
The Duchess who shunned the limelight
The letters are unreadable
Just pause it if you need longer to read them.
This looked interesting however,could not read the small print.
Both daugther in law of king george and q.mary managed to reach 100+.the queen mother and the duchess
It’s not difficult to ‘devote ‘ yourself to public life when one is so wealthy, but is pointless bargaining with God. Opening shops, eating banquets, launching ships and fawning over the poor doesn’t mean anything to Him.
Would you like a little piss with your vinegar dear?
Liz H . I thought the upper classes didn’t have to excrete? Another pretender! Sigh.....is there is no end to them dishing out their bile with their piss upon the very people that supply their wealth and duck houses and fraudulent expenses?
She pretty sadly miss by british Royal family
Your legends are illegible. You would be better off narrating the commentary.
Seems fine to me. Just pause it if you need longer to read them.
Why did she have the title princess? And her sons looked so much like William, Duke of Cambridge and Harry!
Rachel Green - she became a British Princess by marriage dear, into the British Royal family. Her mother was Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, and her father was Prince Louis of Battenberg - German jews. you just have to google. Aunty google will answer all your questions. lol
When Alice got Married she became a royal Duchess But when her husband passed away she became a dowager Duchess. She asked the Queen if she could be called Princess So she could be different from her daughter in law. She was not born a princess.
@@itsmyparty4637 Alice's parents were not royal, your information is wrong. Google let you down.
So after her son and daughter in law became the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, her title was princess. Ok. It just seemed bizarre because Kate and Meghan aren't referred to as princess and they're duchesses as well.
@@rachelgreen4510 that's because their husbands are still alive. If the wife survives the husband, you can't have 2 duchess's with the same title. Plus I think she didnt want to be known as the dowager Duchess. It's the same when the Queens mother became a widow. She should of been known as the dowager queen.
Meghan and kate are princesses but not in their own right. They are not born princesses like Anne, Charlotte and Beatrice. They are princess William of wales and princess Henry of wales. That dosent sound so good. If Meghan survives Harry she will become a dowager Duchess. Archie's wife will be the new Duchess. But royal Dukedoms only last 2 generations. So Archie's children will be viscounts and ladys.
Agree on illegible type choice.
Nice pictures
Love this story.. too hard to read the tight print.....
Lovely lady
British royals had good genes .
So she was 34 when she got married
For the time she would be considered on the shelf. Prince Henry had been having a long standing affair with a married lady so he needed a suitable bride.
She was not Princess Alice - she was HRH Alice, Duchess of Gloucester.
The Queen gave her permission to style herself Princess Alice (perhaps to avoid the confusion when her daughter-in-law became Duchess of Gloucester).
Lady Damiana and she didn’t want to be styled “Dowager”
@@ladydamiana6841 yes you are right
Yes she was, only while her husband was alive.
queen gave her the title of princess
Perfect.
This is horrible! That poor poor woman!
💕
PLEASE Change your FONT. very difficult to read. Try TIMES NEW ROMAN at least
Hermosa!
The writing were too small to read. It would have been better to write the words at the bottom and not across the pictured
Question : Can anyone tell me why she was known as Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester ? She wasn't born a Princess... unlike the Princess Marine, Duchess of Kent ? After all we dont call the two wives of the present Dukes of Cambridge or Sussex...princess's?
P S Newey she asked Queen Elizabeth to the styled “Princess Alice” both to avoid confusion with her daughter in law Birgitta and to avoid being called “The Dowager Duchess of Gloucester.”
Before her husband died she was simply Duchess of Gloucester
She asked permisson to Queen Elizabeth to be styled “Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester” to avoid confusion with her daughter in law Birgitta now HRH The Duchess of Gloucester and to avoid being called the old fashion way “HRH The Dowager Duchess of Gloucester.” BTW remember that the law is very clear, all women married to a British Prince became inmidiatly a Princess of the United Kingdom no matter how she is adressed, remeber that women adquire the feminine version of the husband noble main title. So Katharine Woresly, Birgitte Van Deurs, Marie Christine von Reibnitz, Camilla Shand, Sophie Rhys Jones, Catherine Middleton and Meghan Markle are legally and oficially Princesses of the United Kingdom. In the hipotetical case of non noble titles in their husbands they were be caleed and addressed by this form : Katharine Woresly will be HRH Princess Edward of Kent , Birgitte Van Deurs will be HRH Princess Richard of Gloucester, Camilla Shand will be HRH The Princess Charles, Sophie Rhys Jones will be HRH The Princess Edward, Catherine Middleton will be HRH Princess William of Wales and Meghan Markle will be HRH Princess Henry of Wales. Today there is only one princess that is called by this form of title and is Baroness Marie Christine von Reibnitz wife of HRH Prince Michael of Kent, she is titled HRH Princess Michael of Kent.
When The Duke of Kent and The Duke of Gloucester pass away in the future and their wives are still alive they will have three options for being re titled, maybe they will be HRH Princess Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester or HRH Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester or HRH The Dowager Duchess of Gloucester, the same case will be for The Duchess of Kent, she maybe be HRH Princess Katharine, Duchess of Kent, or HRH Katharine, Duchess of Kent or HRH The Dowager Duchess of Kent.
Titles in the Unided Kingdom are very complicated hahaahahahahah
take care Mike
@@michaelofkent Also not to be confused with Princess Alice, Duchess of Athlone, who i tthink some fo the pictures have confused.
@@brjohn-aelredlane6698 was Princess Alice, Countess of Thlone, NOT DUCHESS
My old eyes could not read the captions
Giving up one palace to live in another for ‘financial reasons’!
Barnwell Manor is not a palace. And her family didn't own Kensington Palace where she moved to. She was allowed to live there by the Queen. Next time, do some research before posting some snide, nasty comment.
This needs narration.
The text is unreadable! Would have liked to learn more of her story.
Horrible music and very hard to read, not the best font
