The Queen's Mother-in-Law - This story of the extraordinary Princess Alice sheds more light on the development of Prince Philip than anything else. Born at Windsor Castle, Alice married into the Greek royal family and remained closely connected to the country until her death. She was deaf, brave and determined, but suffered from a mental illness that led to a painful separation from her only son, Philip. The Queen's Mother-in-Law (2012) Director: Rob Coldstream Stars: Mark Halliley, Princess Alice of Battenberg, Gyles Brandreth Genre: Documentary Country: United Kingdom Language: German Release date: August 21, 2012 (United Kingdom) Synopsis: We all know the late Queen Mum - one of Britain's most famous people. But few have ever heard of the Queen's mother-in-law, Princess Alice. Yet the life story of Prince Philip's mother is hard to believe. The great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Prince Philip's mother married into the Greek royal family - only to see the Greek monarchy overthrown by revolution. She fled into exile and suffered a severe nervous breakdown. She was locked away in psychiatric hospitals and subjected to experimental treatments by psychiatrists - including Sigmund Freud himself. The trauma shattered Princess Alice's marriage and led to a shattered childhood for her only son, Prince Philip. Philip's mother eventually fought back from her mental illness and became an unlikely heroine of World War II when she risked her life to hide a Jewish family from the Nazis. When her son married the future Queen Elizabeth in 1948, Alice rejected the option of a cushy royal life. Instead, she devoted herself to working with the poor in Greece, giving away all her possessions and even founding her own religious order. Featuring exclusive interviews with family members and previously unreleased archive footage, this film sheds new light on one of the royal family's most remarkable but little-known figures.
