The term "Princess of Hesse" refers to various members of the House of Hesse, a German noble family. The title has been held by several women, often through marriage to princes or as daughters of the family. The most notable is Princess Victoria of Hesse, who was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Grand Duchy of Hesse was a significant territory in Germany, and its princesses often played important roles in European royal alliances. Many of them were connected to other royal families, including the British Royal Family, through marriages, which helped strengthen political ties across Europe.
