Few people have heard of Princess Alice of Battenberg, the mother of Prince Philip, and yet her story is one that almost defies belief. Born deaf, Alice faced hurdles to overcome right from the very beginning, unusual for someone born a princess. A descendant of Queen Victoria, Alice married into the Greek royal family, only to find it overthrown by a revolution and forced into exile. This kickstarted her descent into madness as she began suffering from religious delusions, believing she was in a relationship with Jesus Christ himself, causing her to be thrown into a mental hospital in Berlin and be subjected to cruel experiments from none other than Sigmund Freud himself.
