Тектің әйелі: Гелена Кембриджтің өмірі мен тағдыры

Lady Helena Gibbs (Helena Frances Augusta; née Cambridge; 23 October 1899 – 22 December 1969), born Princess Helena of Teck, was a relative of the British royal family, great great granddaughter of King George III, and a niece of Queen Mary and King George V.

During the First World War, the British royal family and their near relatives (including the House of Teck), relinquished their German titles, and Princess Helena assumed the style Lady Helena Cambridge.

Princess Helena was born at Grosvenor House, Mayfair, Westminster. Her father was Prince Adolphus of Teck (later the 2nd Duke of Teck and after 1917 the 1st Marquess of Cambridge), the eldest son of Prince Francis, Duke of Teck and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge. Her mother was Lady Margaret Grosvenor, the third daughter of the 1st Duke of Westminster. In 1919, a newspaper article included her mother's description about her upbringing that was in "the simplest fashion" with the desire that she "should be regarded as ordinary members of the English titled and untitled aristocracy". As a child of Prince Adolphus of Teck, she was styled "Her Serene Highness Princess Helena of Teck" at birth.

During World War I, anti German feeling in the United Kingdom led King George V to change the name of the royal house from the Germanic House of Saxe Coburg Gotha to the more English sounding House of Windsor. The King also renounced all his Germanic titles for himself and all members of the British royal family. In response to this, Helena's father renounced his title of Duke of Teck in the Kingdom of Württemberg and the style His Highness.

Helena married Colonel John Evelyn Gibbs (22 December 1879 London – 11 October 1932 Tetbury), While Gibbs was a commoner, the marriage was approved by the King, The King was originally to be present for the wedding, but later was not able to attend and instead sent a telegram of congratulations on the day after the wedding. Upon the announcement of her engagement to Gibbs, Country Life placed her on the cover of their August 2, 1919 magazine. The wedding was covered in a multi page article with photographs in The Sketch a British illustrated journal and also in the Tatler in the week following the wedding. The wedding, which her parents wished to be a "quiet, ordinary wedding", a dress of white Royal beaute material, and had six bridesmaids, including Lady May Cambridge. The best man was Lancelot Gibbs, the brother of the bridgegroom. She also served as honorary host of a 1931 flower show in Montpellier. Lady Helena and Colonel John Evelyn Gibbs had no children. Lady Helena survived her husband by 37 years and died at Badminton House, home of her sister. Her funeral service was in Gloucestershire at the Church of St. Mary, Tetbury on 27 December 1969.
