Princess Helena (Helena Augusta Victoria; 1846 – 1923) was the third daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In a royal correspondence between Helena's mother and her Belgian great-uncle Leopold I sent on 27 April 1865, she mentioned how both she and her friend Madeline, Countess Blücher hoped to set up Helena with Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein,[1] and they were wed that September.[2]
On 6 February 1866, Helena and her sister Louise,[3] accompanied their mother in support of her first public outing since the death of their father and her husband. Despite heavy winds, the two windows of the carriage remained open so the trio could look out upon the enthusiastic faces of their citizens.[4]
In a May 1867 correspondence, the Queen revealed to Helena's brother Albie that Helena and her husband had since moved to Frogmore, England, affectionately referring to Helena as "Lenchen" in the letter.[5]
