Helene was a daughter of Duke Georg August of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and his wife Grand Duchess Catherine Mikhailovna of Russia. In 1891 Helene became the second wife of Prince Albert of Saxe-Altenburg and stepmother to his two daughters, Olga and Marie. Her own marriage to Albert was childless.
Its connection to the House of Mecklenburg-Strelitz began in 1851 when the couple’s last surviving daughter the Grand Duchess Ekaterina Mikhailovna married Duke Georg, younger son of Grand Duke Georg. Grand Duchess Ekaterina inherited the Mikhailovsky Palace in 1873 following the death of her mother.
