On his recent visit to the UK Israel’s President Isaac Herzog met Prince Charles at his family residence, Highgrove House, and announced an Israeli nursing scholarship is to be named after the Prince of Wales’ grandmother, Princess Alice, who protected a Jewish family during the Nazi occupation of Greece.
The late Duke of Edinburgh’s mother will be recognised with the compassion and perseverance scholarship at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
“What Princess Alice did, she saved the whole family,” Evy Cohen, whose grandmother, aunt and uncle were sheltered by the Princess, told the Guardian in 2019.
“Clearly I wouldn’t be alive, I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t be born if it hadn’t been for her,” she added.
