Victoria Alexandra Olga Mary (6 July 1868 – 3 December 1935), granddaughter and namesake of Queen Victoria, fourth child and second daughter of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, younger, beloved sister of King George V. Born while her father was Prince of Wales, she and her siblings were very close - likewise close with their extended family in Denmark, Russia, and Greece - but known for their timidity outside of the family circle. Unlike both her elder and younger sisters, she never married or had a family of her own. Though there had been no shortage of suitors for her quite prestigious hand, every prospect for marriage had been strongly discouraged by her domineering mother; she would spend her life as Alexandra's constant companion. Known in the family as "Toria" - and later, too often, as "Poor Toria" - it was only in the last 10 years of her life, after the death of her mother, and already plagued with a long list of illnesses, that Princess Victoria was able to have her own home and live as she wished. She died at Coppins, her country house in Buckinghamshire, at the age of 67.
