Marie, Alexandra, and Olga were the daughters of the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland. The Duke of Cumberland was the son of King Georg V of Hanover, who lost his throne in 1878. Marie married Prince Max of Baden. Alexandra married Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Olga did not marry.
The three sisters and their three brothers, Georg Wilhelm, Christian, and Ernst August, were first cousins of King George V of the United Kingdom as their mother, Princess Thyra of Denmark, was Queen Alexandra's youngest sister.
