Which daughter of Victoria was mother of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna?

Princess Alice was the daughter of Queen Victoria who became the mother of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

Alice, born in 1843, was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s second daughter. In 1862 she married Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine, and moved to Darmstadt. Their daughter Alix, born in 1872, later took the name Alexandra Feodorovna after joining the Russian Orthodox Church.

Alexandra married Nicholas II in 1894 and became the last empress consort of Russia. Through Alice, she was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The family connection also linked the British, Hessian and Russian royal houses during a period of intense dynastic marriage.

Alice died of diphtheria in 1878, when Alix was only six. Queen Victoria then became especially protective of her orphaned granddaughter. Alexandra later became widely known as the mother of Tsarevich Alexei, who inherited haemophilia through the family line associated with Queen Victoria.
