Actually, the greatest joy of looking through history is that you can see a replica of the real society from historical stories.
According to the chronological order of age, this article should have been written early in the morning.
But because European history is too far away from us and the age is too early, writing it out first will make everyone confused about the order, so we have to start with modern times and move forward.
Princess Elizabeth (wife of Grand Duke Vladimirovich of Russia) and Princess Alex (the last queen of Russia) and Ernst, the last Grand Duke of Hesse in writing "Four Princesses of Hessian" 
Little Alice likes the life outside the royal house, and once got rid of the supervision of the tutor, sitting in the public seat of the Windsor Castle church, she thinks that she can understand the lives of those who are not bound by royal etiquette .
She also likes to visit the lives of tenants and go to the manor to work.
Compared with the comprehensive education of the older sister Vicky and the education of the Crown Prince of Edward VII , Alice is obviously much easier in this respect.
Have you ever noticed a phenomenon? The eldest son and eldest daughter are often the ones who are strictly required at home, and the doted are the youngest siblings. For the children caught in the middle, the parents will not make too many demands.
Because of their parents' negligence, these children behave exceptionally obedient and sensible, because neither the parents have a different look, nor the bottomless pampering, the only thing they can do is to be sensible and let the parents not worry about them.
This is why Princess Alice is eloquent and looks lively and cheerful, but she is still more sensitive than other brothers and sisters.
And she also has a strong empathy ability, the most likely to resonate with others' pressure.
When placed on ordinary people, such a character is a kind and warm expression, but in the royal family, it actually puts pressure on him invisibly.
Personality determines fate,Sometimes, if you don't understand or don't, you will become a relaxed self.
2 If you play the role of a caregiver from the beginning, it is really difficult to get rid of this role.
In March 1861, Alice's grandmother Victoria became seriously ill. Alice stayed with her grandmother all day to take care of her and talk to her. , Played the piano until his death.
Queen Victoria was very sad and relied on Alice so much that the only task that Prince Albert gave Alice was "to comfort her mother".
Under Alice's comfort, Queen Victoria's mood gradually improved. She wrote to her uncle Leopold I in a letter that said, "Dear Alice is full of tenderness and influence, which makes me free from pain. "_Strong15strong
But unfortunately followed closely. At the end of the year, Edward VII got into a scandal because of the romance. In order to analyze the situation for his son Edward VII, Prince Albert went to Cambridge personally. After returning, he contracted the wind and cold, and Alice Stay with your father in front of his bed and read to him until the last moment.
The Queen's love and dependence on Prince Albert was beyond imagination, and the death of Prince Albert plunged the Queen into the abyss. In order to take care of her mother, she moved her bed to her mother's room.
The entire court was filled with a sad atmosphere. Queen Victoria didn't manage affairs very much. It was all due to Princess Alice taking care of everything. She became the unofficial secretary of her mother.
All the Queen's documents are passed to the government through Alice.
At that time, the eldest sister Victoria had married to Germany, and his brother Edward VII was still studying in Cambridge, and Alice was making arrangements for the affairs of the palace.
Some people are lively and some are silent, but not everyone is born to take care of others.
Willingness to take care and the ability to take care of is a kind of emotional cognition.
Teenage Alice has been doing it, and doing it well.
3 Compared to a wedding, it is more like a funeral.
Prince Albert has set a marriage policy in order to strengthen the relationship between European royal families.
So in 1860, after excluding the optimistic Prince of Orange and Prince Albert of Prussia, Prince Ludwig of Hesse was appointed.
Hessen is just a small royal family in Germany, and it is poor and broken, but Alice’s eldest sister Vicky has a good impression of Ludwig, plus Alice and Luther Vichy also had a good impression of each other, and their marriage was settled in this way.
In order to make her daughter's life easier in the future, Queen Victoria persuaded the Prime Minister to give Alice a dowry of £30,000.
looks quite a lot, but for a couple who do not even live in a decent palace, Alice is really a drop in the bucket.
Despite this, Alice is still very happy, and a woman who marries in love doesn't think much about money.
On July 1, 1862, Alice and Ludwig married in a restaurant temporarily set up as a church.
In front of Queen Victoria stood her sons Edward VII and Prince Frederick, just blocking her eyes trying to control tears.
This wedding has been described as "the most tragic royal wedding in modern times".
Because of financial constraints, the wedding is very simple;
Because of the death of Prince Albert, the queen has been in a bad mood;
Because of mourning, Princess Alice only puts on her wedding dress at the moment of the wedding, and then I put on mourning clothes;
Because I have to take care of my mother’s mood,Princess Alice didn't even dare to show the joy of getting married.
So cautious, but the queen is still very upset because Princess Alice's unintentional happiness and romance made the queen look dazzling and heart-piercing.
Later, the queen wrote to her eldest daughter Vicki, "It's more like a funeral than a wedding."
What can we do?
Married, married, this is just the beginning, there are many, many more in the future.
4 The Grand Duchess who has been committed to the construction of public medical care and rescue of the wounded
Not long after marriage, Prussian-Austrian War broke out.
Alice is pregnant and busy in the back of the war.
She and Nightingale (yes, the Nightingale we know) are good friends, and spend most of their time in the rear looking after the wounded and improving medical conditions.
With a pregnant belly, she still insists on fulfilling her royal duties, making bandages for the military and hospitals, and following Nightingale's advice to clean and ventilate the hospital.
Seeing that the war had entered an unfavorable situation, she urged the Grand Duke to agree to Prussian terms and surrender.
Grand Duke did not listen to her. As the defeated side, Hesse has to bear huge compensation.
Alice had to write to her mother, asking her for help to her sister Vicky (Prince of Prussia)
In the face of absolute power, conspiracy and ghost tricks are not worth mentioning, and the fist is hard A good talk is the truth that breaks the unchanging.
Hessen was originally a poor country and couldn't afford so much money. In the end, Alice took out her dowry to fill in this hole.
It is very much like what we often say in modern times that an elegant woman married a Phoenix man.
But Alice does not care very much. She has always felt that money is something outside of her body, as long as the family is living well.
Because of this, Alice has a very good relationship with her children.
has a very different relationship with her sister Vicki and her children. Several children love her and rely on her.
This kind of intimacy is hard to see in the royal family. Royal children mature prematurely. Family affection is often trapped by the desire for power and money, and it becomes less pure.
Therefore, this intimacy between mother and child has become so precious that the death of Alice hit the child hard, and the youngest daughter, Alex, changed her temper.
5 She died on the same day as her father
In the first few years of their marriage, Alice and Ludwig had a good relationship, but over time, the two became indifferent and alienated.
In 1873, Alice’s favorite young son, Frederick, was playing with his eldest son, Ernst, when he fell from a 20-foot window.
Frederick himself was a patient with hemophilia. Although he regained consciousness, intracranial hemorrhage caused him to become unconscious and eventually died.
Alice was very sad about the death of this little son. Two months later, she wrote to her mother and said that she missed the child very much.
Also suffering from Ernst, he could not accept the death of his brother, and said to his nanny: "I dreamed that I was dead and went to heaven.There I asked God to let me have Frederick again, and he came to me and took my hand. _Strong15strong
Ernst’s character has since become a little melancholy, and Alice has slowly focused on the only surviving son.
but because of the Austrian War For this reason, Alice was very suppressed in the Hesse royal family, and her relationship with her husband became estranged, which made Alice's life in Hesse very sad.
In November 1878, Alice's family had a second daughter besides herself. All but Elizabeth had diphtheria.
First, the youngest daughter Mary died unfortunately. In order to stabilize the emotions of the children, Alice did not tell them that she was busy taking care of a few children all day long.
Sensitive Ernst discovered it. No, Alice had to tell her son the truth. Ernst reacted fiercely and kept crying.
Alice kissed her son to comfort Ernst.
Alice became ill. On December 14, Alice became ill. Heavy, passed away at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Her last sentence is: "Dear Dad".
That day is also Prince Albert's death day.
6 If we are used to being taken care of, Please be grateful to the people who took care of us
Her death made Queen Victoria very sad.
The death of her daughter and her husband on the same day was a devastating blow to any woman.
was also the death of Alice , Let the queen think about the good of this daughter, as if to compensate, the queen especially loved these grandchildren.
often took a few grandchildren to live in London, when Ernst’s daughter little Elizabeth was born, even more It is the first person to become a great-grandchild, the family takes pictures, and the queen has to hold in front of her. For her, the queen does not allow the Ernst couple to divorce.
Alice’s children are also Important figures influencing history,
The eldest daughter Victoria’s descendants include the familiar Lord Mountbatten and the current Prince Philip, Queen Louise of Sweden
The second daughter Elizabeth married the Grand Duke Sergey of Tsarist Russia and was a member of the Russian Revolution. During the turmoil, her kindness saved countless people, but she was brutally killed by the Revolutionary Party
The youngest daughter Alex became the last queen of Tsarist Russia. After the revolution, the whole family was murdered.
Nowadays, when we talk about Princess Alice, we will think of her children. Compared to the stories of the children, her story is ordinary and simple.
But in her short 35 years of life, she is full of love and hard work.
She has been committed to improving public health conditions and helping the poor. These actions of her affected several children.
Especially the second daughter Elizabeth, who became a seller after her husband died, established a monastery and became a nun to help the poor and the people. Still helping others until the last moment of life.
When a person is accustomed to being taken care of, he will become accustomed to the efforts of others, until one day, he can no longer wait for her care.
If there is such a person around us, I think that from now on, we will be grateful and take it seriously in our hearts. It will be the most true truth we have read in history.
