Of Hesse-8 and Hesse-Darmstadt-3 appear to represent the same person because: They are the same person, Hesse-Darmstadt is the best LNAB of the two, though should probably be Hessen-Darmstadt.

Profile Of_Hesse-8 should be merged with this profile. It is the same person. Princess Alice had only one husband. They had seven children. I'm a Victoria aficionado and if I didn't have another 1000 profiles to clean up, I'd help with these Victoria descendents.
