Lady Mary Victoria was the daughter of the 11th Duke of Hamilton and his wife, Princess Marie Amelie of Baden. Lady Mary Victoria's first marriage to Albert I, Prince of Monaco was annulled. Countess Alexandra was married twice. Alice is a descendant of her second husband was Prince Erwin of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst.
Alice's uncle, Constantin (1949) is the present Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst. He is not married. The heir presumptive is her uncle, Philipp, but unless he has a son (he has only daughters and his wife is 61 years old), the title will pass to Alice's father and then her younger half-brother, Prince Louis.
