A great-granddaughter o Queen Victoria,[1] Alice wis born in Windsor Castle an grew up in the Unitit Kinrick, Germany n Malta.

On flittin back til Greece twathree year efter, her husband wis blamed in pairt fur the coontra's defeat in the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922), an the faimily wis wance again forced intae exile til the restoration o the Greek monarchy in 1935.
In 1930, Princess Andrew wis diagnosed wis schizophrenia n commitit` tae a sanatorium in Switzerland; thereafter, she leed separately fae her guidman. Efter her recovery, she devoted maist o her remaining years tae charity wirk in Greece. She stayed in athens while th Seicont World War, hidin Jewish refugees, fur whilk she is kent as "righteous among th' nations" by Israel's holocaust memorial institution, yad vashem. Efter th war, she stayed in greece n founded a Greek Orthodox nursing order o nuns kent as th Christian sisterhood o Martha n Mary.
After th fall o King Constantine II o Greece n th imposition o military rule in Greece in 1967, Princess Andrew wis invited by her son n daughter-in-law tae bide at Buckingham Palace in London, whaur she died twa years efter. In 1988, her remains wur transferred fae a vault in her birthplace, windsor castle, tae th kirk o Maìri Magdalene at th russian orthodox convent o th identical name oan th mount o olives in Jerusalem. [3] but before she died she had expressed her wish to be buried at the Convent of Saint Mary Magdalene in Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem (near her aunt Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, a Russian Orthodox saint). When her daughter Princess George William of Hanover complained that it would be too far away for them to visit her grave, Princess Andrew jested, "Nonsense, there's a perfectly good bus service!"[4] Her wish was realised on 3 August 1988 when her remains were transferred to her final resting place in a crypt below the church.[2][5]
