Princess Victoria's Special Place
Coppins was specially changed for Princess Victoria. She was a daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. After her father, King Edward VII, passed away, Princess Victoria stayed with her mother, Queen Alexandra, at Sandringham House. She was her mother's companion.
After Queen Alexandra died in 1925, Princess Victoria moved into Coppins. People described the house as having a "relaxed air of a holiday villa." Princess Victoria lived there for another ten years. She passed away at Coppins on 2 December 1935, when she was 67 years old.
