HENRY, See also:PRINCE OF See also:BATTENBERG (1858-1896) , was the third son of Prince See also:Alexander of See also:Hesse and his morganatic wife, the beautiful Countess Julia von Hauke, to whom was granted in 188 the See also:title of princess of Battenberg, which her See also:children inherited. He was See also:born at See also:Milan on the 5th of See also:October 1858, was educated with a See also:special view to military service, and in due See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time became a See also:lieutenant in the first See also:regiment of Rhenish hussars. By their relationship to the See also:grand See also:dukes of Hesse the princes of Battenberg were brought into See also:close contact with the See also:English See also:court, and Prince Henry paid several visits to See also:England, where he soon became popular both in public and in private circles. It therefore created but little surprise when, towards the close of 1884, it was announced that See also:Queen See also:Victoria had sanctioned his engagement to the Princess See also:Beatrice. The See also:wedding took See also:place at Whippingham on the 23rd of See also:July 1885, and after the See also:honeymoon the prince and princess settled down to a quiet See also:home See also:life with the queen, being seldom absent from the court, and accompanying her See also:majesty in her See also:annual visits to the See also:continent. Three sons and a daughter were the issue of the See also:marriage. On the 31st of July 188 a See also:bill to naturalize Prince Henry was passed by the See also:House of Lords, and he received the title of royal See also:highness. He was made a See also:Knight of the Garter and a member of the Privy See also:Council, and also appointed a See also:colonel in the See also:army, and afterwards See also:captain-See also:general and See also:governor of the Isle of See also:Wight and governor of See also:Carisbrooke See also:Castle. He adapted himself very readily to English See also:country life, for he was an excellent shot and an enthusiastic yachtsman. Coming of a See also:martial See also:race, the prince would gladly have embraced an active military career, and when the See also:Ashanti expedition was organized in See also:November 1895 he volunteered to join it. But when the expedition reached Prahsu, about 30 M. from Kumasi, he was struck down by See also:fever, and being promptly conveyed back to the See also:coast, was placed on See also:board H.M.S. " Blonde." On the 17th of See also:January he seemed to recover slightly, but a relapse occurred on the 19th, and he died on the evening of the loth off the coast of Sierra Leone.
