Riassunto

Princess Alice, the mother of Prince Philip, spent her early married life in the turbulent political arena of Greece. Later she and her family were forced into exile and eventually her marriage broke down. Following a religious crisis, the Princess spent some years in a sanatorium in Switzerland, where she was diagnosed 'schizophrenic paranoid'. Vickers charts her extraordinary recovery, her return to Greece during World War II and how she turned her own experience into a way of helping others,often at risk to her own life.
