Princess Federica was the daughter of George V, King of Hanover. In the early 1860s Prince Alfred, Queen Victoria's second son, was much taken with her. Queen Victoria supported Princess Federica over her financial problems and in her wish to marry Baron Alfons von Pawel-Rammingen, in the face of opposition from her family. The Queen described her as a 'noble hearted girl', paid for her wedding in the Private Chapel at Windsor in 1880 and provided her with accommodation at Hampton Court.
