Coppins is a country house north of the village of Iver in Buckinghamshire, England. Located only seven miles from Windsor Castle, it was formerly a home to many members of the British royal family, including Princess Victoria, Prince George, Duke of Kent and Princess Marina, and their son Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.

The house was originally a mid-nineteenth-century farmhouse built by John Mitchell, who arranged theatre visits for Queen Victoria and her son, the Prince of Wales. The house was substantially altered for Princess Victoria, who moved there after the death in 1925 of her mother, Queen Alexandra.

Princess Victoria left Coppins to her nephew Prince George, Duke of Kent, when she died in 1935. From then until it was sold in 1972 to Commander Eli Gottlieb, it was the home of two generations of the Kent family.^[1]

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was a regular visitor to Coppins during school holidays while at Gordonstoun (1937–39) and Dartmouth Naval College (1939–40), and later when visiting with Princess Elizabeth. Prince George's wife, Princess Marina, was Prince Philip's paternal first cousin.

Prince Michael of Kent was born there on 4 July 1942. In 1944, Princess Marina's first cousin King George II of Greece also stayed at Coppins.
