Princess Victoria of the United Kingdom

Rare card · No. 60986

Princess Victoria (Victoria Alexandra Olga Mary; 6 July 1868 – 3 December 1935) was the fourth child and second daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra and the younger sister of King George V. Victoria never married or had children, remaining particularly close to her parents and especially to her mother, whom she accompanied on royal engagements and visits. She had a particular passion for photography and compiled 40 albums documenting her family and other European royal families, and her photographic work has since been featured in exhibitions held by the Royal Collection. She was also deeply interested in music and was a keen amateur pianist, maintaining close friendships with several musicians. She took a keen interest in gardening, animals, and village life. Following her mother's death in 1925, Victoria moved to Coppins in Buckinghamshire, where she lived a comparatively private life until her death in 1935, aged 67.
