"Hessian Tapestry" by David Duff

I remember seeing a book by this title in my local library a few years ago. Now I have more time to read it , the book has been removed from the shelves.
It was, I remember about Princess Louise of Hess Damstart, a Granddaughter ? of Queen Victoria.
Can anyone with more knowledge of European Royalty provide me with any information about this Princess ?
I do not want to use Wiki as I do not always find the information provided reliable.
Many thanks

There wasn't any Luise von Hessen und Rhine that was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria...

Although,every one of her Hessen granddaughters had name Louise(Luise) as one of their names...

I have the book somewhere, I read it years ago, but I found it quite interesting at the time. The book deals with Grand Duchess Alice of Hesse and by Rhine, née princess of the UK and 2nd daughter of Queen Victoria. It was written by David Duff and is available at amazon:

Amazon.com: Hessian Tapestry: Hesse Family and British Royalty (9780715378380): David Duff: Books

the site also has some reviews (not too positive about the writing style and some inaccuracies).

Thanks for the replies.
I seem to remember that the Princess in question was placed under house arrest in the UK , following her separation from her German Prince husband, and her return to this country. This was during either the first or second world war.
It could therefore mean that I have got the name of the princess confused. It was along time ago since I saw and dipped into the book.
