Uploaded by lostsplendour on May 9, 2009
Princess Irene of Hesse and by Rhine (Irene Luise Maria Anna) (11 July 1866 11 November 1953) was the third child and third daughter of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom and Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine. Her maternal grandparents were Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert. Her paternal grandparents were Prince Charles of Hesse and by Rhine and Princess Elizabeth of Prussia. She was the wife of Prince Albert Wilhelm Heinrich of Prussia, her first cousin. Like her sister Alix, Irene was a carrier of the haemophilia gene. Two of her three sons were haemophiliacs.
Her younger sister, Alix, become the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna of their paternal second cousin Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Her younger brother, Ernst, became Grand Duke of Hesse. Her eldest sister Victoria married their father's morganatic first cousin, Prince Louis of Battenberg (later Marquess and Marchioness of Milford Haven). Another sister Elizabeth, (later canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church as St.Elizabeth the Martyr) married their father's first cousin, Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovich of Russia.
