"There once were four sisters — Victoria, Ella, Irene and Alix — who lived in an obscure grand duchy in south-western Germany, a place of winding cobbled streets and dark forests made legendary in the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. In their day, these four princesses of the house of Hesse and by Rhine were considered by many to be "the flowers of Queen Victoria's flock of granddaughters", celebrated for their beauty, intelligence and charm. As they grew up they became the object of intense scrutiny on that most fraught of international stages — the royal marriage market of Europe. Despite their lack of large dowries or vast territories, each sister in turn married well. But it was to the youngest and most beautiful of the four that fate dealt the biggest hand."

"I might here mention certain fixed rules for our life, which my mother had adopted from those used in her youth. We rose early. When I was about 13, I remember my sister Ella and I getting up in winter by candlelight and starting lessons at 7 We breakfasted with our parents at 9 o'clock, and had an hour's exercise out of doors, after which we had what we called "little lunch" consisting of milk, fruit and biscuits at 11, and at 2 o'clock we lunched with our parents. I would mention here that my mother adhered to the diet Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort had instituted for their children. We were never given spiced or rich food, simple dishes being served up for us. We never objected to anything given us at home, but the awful bread and butter puddings without a raisin in them or the stodgy tapioca pudding full of lumps we got in Queen Victoria's houses I still remember with a shudder of disgust. On the rarest of occasions were we given a sweet or a bonbon, but we were always allowed a lump of sugar if we wanted something sweet, and so to this simple fare I attribute my excellent digestion in after life. After lunch we again went out for 1½ hours in all weathers and had schoolroom tea at 5 This over, we went down to my mother's room where we played about with the younger children. We went to bed at 6.30, later on at 7 when preparations took more time".
