Princess Helena (1846-1923) was the Third Daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Despite the difference in age.
In 1866 she married Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, a kindly but penniless bachelor fifteen years older than her.
A steady, dependable young woman, known as \'Lenchen\' within the family, she was particularly \'useful\' to her demanding and recently widowed mother, who could not bear to lose her to a marriage which would oblige her to move and live abroad with her husband.
