Maud Mary Alice

From Philosopedia

Alice, Maud Mary [Princess] (1843—1878)

The daughter of Queen Victoria of England, Alice was a skeptic. So was her sister, the Empress Frederic. Alice was a friend of D. F. Strauss, the leading anti-Christian writer in Germany, who read his study of Voltaire to her in manuscript and was permitted to dedicate it to her. Prince von Bülow in his Memoirs wrote, “The Grand Duchess Alice was as liberal in politics, and especially in religion, as her sister the Crown Princess.”

In 1937, the editor of the Literary Guide revealed that it was Princess Alice who had translated the article by Haeckel that appeared in the first issue of the Agnostic Annual, which he also edited.
