Reading through Queen Victoria's letters and diaries for a paper on Russo-British relations and came across this heartbreaking passage:

[Excerpt from Queen Victoria's Diary]

14th Dec. - This terrible day come round again! Slept tolerably, but woke very often, constantly seeing darling Alice before me. When I woke in the morning, was not for a moment aware of all our terrible anxiety. And then it all burst upon me. I asked for news, but nothing had come. Then got up and went, as I always do on this day, to the Blue Room, and prayed there. When dressed, I went into my sitting-room for breakfast, and met Brown coming in with two bad telegrams: I looked first at one from Louis, which I did not at first take in, saying: "Poor Mama, poor me, my happiness gone, dear, dear Alice. God's will be done." (I can hardly write it).

Princess Alice of the United Kingdom and her grandmother Victoria, Duchess of Kent, 1860.

—

Princess Alice VA CI (Alice Maud Mary; 25 April 1843 – 14 December 1878) was Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine from 13 June 1877 until her death in 1878 as the wife of Grand Duke Louis IV.

She was the third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (Marie Louise Victoire; 17 August 1786 – 16 March 1861), later Princess of Leiningen and subsequently Duchess of Kent and Strathearn, was a German princess and the mother of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.

“After so many years reading about Queen Victoria's familia, I just realised that she, her daughters: Alice, Helena, Louise, Beatrice and her granddaughters: Victoria, Ella, Irene & Alix of Hesse, Louise of Wales & Victoria Melita had somewhat the same face. To be fair, Victoria's grandaughters just happened to have a different face after Helena's marriage. Schleswig-Holstein (Marie Louise and Helena Victoria), Albany (Alice), Connaught (Margaret and Patricia) and Battenbergs (Ena) girls look quite distinctive from  the others cousins. I know they're related, but I don’t have the same face of all my aunts.” - Submitted by Anonymous
