Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, GCB, CI, GCVO, GBE (Alice Christabel née Montagu Douglas Scott; 25 December 1901 – 29 October 2004) was the wife of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the third son of George V and Mary of Teck. She was the mother of the present Duke of Gloucester, and of Prince William of Gloucester, who died aged 30.

Born the daughter of the 7th Duke of Buccleuch, Scotland’s largest landowner, she became by marriage a princess of the United Kingdom, and a sister-in-law to King Edward VIII and King George VI. She was thus an aunt by marriage to Queen Elizabeth II, daughter of George VI.

Her brothers Walter and William and her nephew John were all Conservative MPs. Her first cousin, Marian Montagu Douglas Scott, was the paternal grandmother of Sarah, Duchess of York, former wife of Alice’s great-nephew, Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
