Heraldically speaking, we will be concentrating on the male-line descendants and British heraldry. There are a couple of exceptions, namely the children of TRH The Princesses Helena and Beatrice who a) married Battenbergs and b) remained in Britain (on the understanding that they would be secretaries to the widowed Queen-Empress) and were mainly affected by the changes and de-Germanification of the British Royal Family as a consequence of the First World War. The descendants of HRH The Princess Alice can also be included here.
As most of Victoria and Albert's daughters married into German royal families, the scope for coats of arms is limited as the German tradition does not call for much differentiation or cadency. Daughters share their fathers' Coats of Arms and even brothers between them, too. This does not, however, mean that the Grandchildren through the female line will be ignored.
The children of Queen Victoria's successor, HM King Edward VII, have already been covered (Click here) as well as HRH Princess Victoria Eugenie/HM Queen Ena of Spain (Click here) in previous Blogs.
We will start soon with Victoria and Albert's first child, HRH The Princess Victoria, Princess Royal, later HI&RM Empress Frederick of Germany, Queen of Prussia.
