Prince Maurice of Battenberg (Maurice Victor Donald; 3 October 1891 – 27 October 1914) was a member of the Hessian princely Battenberg family and the extended British royal family, and the youngest grandchild of Queen Victoria. He was styled as Prince Maurice throughout his life and died before the Battenberg family anglicised their surname to Mountbatten in 1917, meaning he was never known by that name.
