“Don’t
be afraid, Bambi,” his mother said. “This is little
Faline, and this is your Aunt Ena. Can’t you say hello to
them?”
“Hello,
Bambi,” said the two deer. But Bambi did not say a word.
“You
have been wanting to meet other deer,” his mother reminded
him. “Well, Aunt Ena and Faline are deer just like us. Now,
can’t you speak to them?”
“Hello,”
whispered Bambi in a small, small voice.
“Come
and play, Bambi,” said Faline. She leaned forward and
licked his face.

Princess
Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (Victoria Eugenie Julia Ena; 24
October 1887 – 15 April 1969) was queen consort of King
Alfonso XIII of Spain. She was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria
of the United Kingdom. She is the first cousin of George V and
Maud of Wales. The current King of Spain, Juan Carlos, is her
grandson.
Victoria
Eugenie was born on 24 October 1887 at Balmoral Castle, in
Scotland in the United Kingdom. Her father was Prince Henry of
Battenberg, the fourth child and third son of Prince Alexander of
Hesse and by Rhine by his morganatic wife Countess Julia von
Hauke, and her mother was Princess Beatrice of the United
Kingdom, the fifth daughter and youngest child of Queen Victoria
of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
As
Prince Henry was the product of a morganatic marriage, he took
his style of Prince of Battenberg from his mother, who had been
created Princess of Battenberg. As such Henry's daughter would
have been born Her Serene Highness Princess Victoria Eugenie of
Battenberg. She was named for her two grandmothers and for her
godmother, Empress Eugénie, the Spanish-born widow of the
former Emperor of the French Napoleon III, who lived in exile in
the UK. The last of her given names was chosen because of her
birth in Scotland (her younger brother Maurice would receive
"Donald" as the last of his given names for the same
reason) and due to her lineage: Princess Beatrice had written
'Eua' on the birth document (a Gaelic form of 'Eve'), but this
was misread by Dr. Cameron Lees, who presided at her christening,
as 'Ena'. To her family, and the British general public, she was
ever afterwards known as Ena.
Victoria
Eugenie grew up in Queen Victoria's household, as the British
monarch had reluctantly allowed Beatrice to marry on the
condition that she remain her mother's full time companion and
personal secretary. She therefore spent her childhood at Windsor
Castle, Balmoral, and Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Her
father died while on active military service after contracting
fever in Africa in 1896. After the death of Queen Victoria in
1901, the Battenbergs moved to London and took up residence in
Kensington Palace. During a summer in Osborne, Victoria Eugenie
met Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich of Russia, a cousin to
Nicholas II. The Grand Duke felt attracted to the beautiful
British princess and when they met again in Nice in 1905, he
proposed marriage to her. She was about to accept but declined at
the last moment.
