Princess Helena, 3rd daughter and 5th child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (in the centre), holding a lily with her younger siblings ; Princess Louise on the left wearing a classical robe and plucking a pink rose, a butterfly hovering above her head; and Prince Arthur on the right, addressing Princess Helena. This miniature by Sir William Ross is at odds with Queen Victoria's own account of her gift of this miniature to the Prince for this birthday in 1853 (RA QVJ: 24 May 1853): I gave Albert, as a souvenir of the day Ross's really beautiful miniature of the 3 Children, with which he was delighted, both as to painting & likeness. It is in the Italian style & the grouping & colouring beautiful. He could hardly believe Ross could have done such a painting. I owned to the original idea being mine, & had been nervously anxious that he should approve, knowing what a judge he is & what taste he has! #queenvictoria #princesshelena #princearthur #princesslouise #princealbert #victoria #victorian #painting https://www.instagram.com/p/CemUd_eMPi0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝑅𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝐴𝑙𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑎- Princess 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 (1846-1923) was born #onthisday 25 May 1846 at Buckingham Palace in London, as the fifth child and third daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Nicknamed 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 she was described lively, outspoken and something of a tomboy little girl , reacting by punching the bully on the nose against brotherly teasing. Princess 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 had a very close relationship with her elder brother Prince 𝗔𝗹𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗱, who was the second son and fourth child of the Queen. He considered her younger sister to be his favourite sister. 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗲 described as an extrovert with an enquiring mind and enjoyed learning as well as being great violin player. In fact, of her brothers, only 𝗔𝗹𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗱 was naturally mechanically minded. Being next to each other in age, they were close throughout childhood, and 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 was almost as good as him when it comes to understanding machinery. She enjoyed steering the steam yacht Fairy in all weathers and did so with the calmness of an adult. To her mother's chargin she was quite uninterested in her appearance, tying her hair back with an old piece of ribbon while she spent hours below deck, getting her hands covered with grease, learning exactly how steam worked. It was her father who championed her against teasing on account of her apparently unladylike, practical ways. 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 grew up to be one of the toughest, physically speaking, of the royal sisters. It was hardly surprising that sport appealed to her more than her work in the schoolroom. She was great at swimming and racing and even loved watching the boys playing football. With her deep voice and long striding gait, and her dislike of trailing around in long skirts, she longed to be an athlete, or at least to lead a more outdoor life. In the dramas and tableaux vivants which thé children often staged for their parents' amusement, Princess 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 generally took the part of a boy.

On This Day In History 25 May 1846 . Princess Helena of the United Kingdom was born. . ◼ She was the third daughter & fifth child of the reigning British monarch, Queen Victoria, & her husband Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha. . . ◼ Helena had a firm interest in nursing, & became President of the British Nurses' Association (RBNA) upon its foundation in 1887. In 1891, it received the prefix "Royal", & received the Royal Charter the following year. . ◼ She was a strong supporter of nurse registration, an issue that was opposed by both Florence Nightingale & leading public figures. . ◼ In a speech Helena made in 1893, she made clear that the RBNA was working towards "improving the education & status of those devoted & self-sacrificing women whose whole lives have been devoted to tending the sick, the suffering, & the dying" (Although the RBNA was in favour of registration as a means of enhancing & guaranteeing the professional status of trained nurses, its incorporation with the Privy Council allowed it to maintain a list rather than a formal register of nurses). . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1846 #Princess #PrincessHelena #PrincessHelenaoftheUnitedKingdom #History #d25may #HouseofSaxeCoburgandGotha #Royalty #HerRoyalHighness #Monarchy #BritishMonarchy #royalhistory #Historyfacts #vintagephotography #Saxecoburgandgotha #Princess #Nursing #Britishredcross #Redcross (at Buckingham Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5B3Y-g_XH/?igshid=qtoppovtwdx6
