Alice: Princess Andrew of Greece Review: Excellent read for all - Beautifully written, with an incredible amount of detail on a very special person. This is an excellent read for all people. It has history, biographical details, intrigue, insight to the European royal families and stories of the wars and lots more. Review: Interesting look at the mother of Prince Phillip - Found this to be a good read. It's supposed to be a book about Princess Alice the mother of Prince Phillip, but it seems more like a book about the broader family the was both born into as well as the one she married into. She was born in Windsor Castle the great granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She met and married Prince Andrew of Greece when she was a teenager and they made a life in Greece. They had four girls in quick succession but things were not so easy. They were forced to go into exile more than once and Andrew was almost killed. In the 1930s Alice and Andrew effectively separated and he went on to live in Monte Carlo. While he might not have been the womanizer that he's painted as he did have a long time love love with him. Alice bounced from country to country, visiting various relatives in england, sweeden, Germany and Greece. She spent a lot of time in england after her son Prince Phillip married the future Queen Elizabeth II and they had their children. She spent her last year's living in Windsor. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0312302398 | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,204 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Historical Greece Biographies #14 in Historical British Biographies #26 in Royalty Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (822) | | Dimensions | 6.26 x 1.28 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 9780312302399 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0312302399 | | Item Weight | 1.25 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 512 pages | | Publication date | June 16, 2003 | | Publisher | St. Martin's Griffin | ## Images ![Alice: Princess Andrew of Greece - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717WPOc6Z8L.jpg) ![Alice: Princess Andrew of Greece - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LMht6Tr3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent read for all *by P***S on December 12, 2022* Beautifully written, with an incredible amount of detail on a very special person.

There are so many of them – princesses, princes, kings, queens, and other people of supposedly noble birth. They have descended from the dictators of Europe and it is a marvelous achievement of modern democracy that they are no long able to wield their tyrannical powers but have to smile and smile and smile to keep us convinced to keep them on the pay roll. However it is still puzzling as to why we do so. They have various survival tricks, some of which are displayed in this book. One is that they will adapt and change. All the royal families are very interrelated but during the World Wars, it became clear to the British royal family that their German surname was a public relations problem so they simply renamed themselves “Windsor”. Problem solved! There was another issue in that some of Europe’s royalty included SS soldiers in Germany and others were fighting for Britain but they seemed to be able to live this down after the war. Another survival mechanism is that they somehow manage to convince us that they are entitled to their wealth and privilege. The combination of ritual and glamour seems to intoxicate the crowds. The royals apparently have an extraordinary existence that is different from our everyday hum drum lives and people seem willing to observe this largely without envy or resentment. Occasionally a “commoner” breaks into their exclusive world and this creates particular interest – an interest which became an obsession in the case of Princess Diana. And on a slightly more worrying note, there is the fact that they are captives. Few of them dare to escape the world that they are familiar with. They belong to us and, at any time, we can lift the roofs off the dolls’ houses in which they live and peer at them, discussing their lives and exclaiming at their stress over their lack of privacy. It could be argued that their lives resemble those of wealthy slaves in that we don’t recognize their basic human rights to freedom of religion and freedom as to where they live or what career they will choose etc. Johann Hari has written about this very convincingly in his book, “God save the Queen?” This book shows an aspect of this situation. The Greeks were very ambivalent about their royalty and eventually kicked out Princess Alice and her husband, Prince Andrew (Andrea), after first chewing over the idea of killing him. Both Alice and Andrew were extremely traumatized by this, a clear demonstration of how much loss of identity there may be for royals who lose that role in life. Their marriage moved into difficulties as evidenced by the fact that Alice fell very in love with someone else. They largely abandoned their son, Philip, who was cared for by various English relatives. Andrea drifted aimlessly through the rest of his life without doing being able to find a new direction. Alice showed her stress by having a breakdown. The delusions that she instinctively chose showed what was lacking in her life. She saw herself as the only woman that Jesus really loved – thus replacing her former marital happiness and also giving herself a strong sense of identity to replace the one smashed by her loss of role within Greece. It shows her remarkable inner strength and also the loyalty of her mother and other family members that she eventually recovered most of her mental health. She then found a new sense of identity by committing herself to help those who were suffering dreadful poverty as a result of World War II. Her son married Princess Elizabeth, soon to become the Queen of Britain, and Alice was able to find a place within that new arrangement but still maintain her independence of it though her new found work. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/4127435-alice-princess-andrew-of-greece](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/4127435-alice-princess-andrew-of-greece) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
