Synopsis:
This is the remarkable, rarely-told story of the Queen's mother-in-law and Prince Philip's mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg. Born into a life of privilege in Windsor Castle, in the presence of her great-grandmother Queen Victoria, her extraordinary life would be defined by struggle, tenacity and an indomitable generosity of spirit. She was born deaf and diagnosed with schizophrenia, yet she would learn to read lips in four languages and dedicate her life to helping others.

Sent to a mental asylum, given controversial electroshock treatment and treated by Sigmund Freud, she would overcome the most extraordinary personal challenges to help those she saw as more in need than herself. She served as a military nurse on the frontline, sheltered Jewish refugees during the Holocaust, and founded an order of nursing nuns in Greece, before finally coming to live at Buckingham Palace, with the Queen.

This definitive documentary sheds new light on the stranger-than-fiction story of Princess Alice, through rarely seen archive, and interviews with those who know her remarkable story best. In five parts, it will chart her adventures as a troubled royal, surviving revolution and world events alongside her own extreme personal challenges. It will also explore how her parenting and experiences shaped the modern British monarchy through her son Philip, and her own relationship with her daughter-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II.
