Israel Prince Williams Heritage

A Russian priest stands by the grave of Princess Alice of Battenberg and Greece, great-grandmother of Prince William, at the Mary Magdalene Church, in east Jerusalem, Wednesday, June 27, 2018. When William makes the pilgrimage to the tomb it will showcase one of the more unusual characters in royal history. The deaf, great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria saved Jews during World War II and her last wishes were to have her remains buried in a crypt below a Russian Orthodox church in east Jerusalem.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
