Thank you for this. Their daughter Princess Alexandra was in attendance at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III. I'll bet she could tell us some stories. Princess Marina was quite lovely, Prince George extremely good-looking, and baby Edward (present Duke of Kent) was adorable and he's been active in royal duties for ages, only now taking steps toward retiring. They're a truly royal family.
I’ve always felt bad for Prince George, Duke of Kent. One sees from the honeymoon video that even though he had been forced into this marriage, Marina couldn’t stand to be near him. It’s a wonder they had any children at all. Rest In Peace Prince George. 🙏
Yes, they were. It was a marriage of hell for Marina. She tried to divorce George 3 times and had attempted to run away with a lover to America after his death. You know quite a bit.
Really? Arranged? I've never heard this ......out of all of the royal documentaries I've watch , I always thought these two looked the happiest together! Well apart from King Gearge and Queen Elizabeth , but even she said she married him because she felt it was her " duty " and she learned to love him afterwards. And The Duke of Kent being a drug addict and a pretty open by sexual man , his wife must have loved him knowing all of this and still wanted him to father her children. There must have been love there somewhere! I mean you can't " pity " f..k someone you can't stand to be around for many , many years bearing his children , smiling happily , and being a heart broken widow all over an arranged marriage! My personal belief is they were probably more close then people realize , friends even and perhaps entered into thier Union fully knowing each other's faults and accepting each other unquestionly , each with their own agenda of course!! Europe was pretty short on Princes at this time , Marina was already in her late 20's , wanted a family , time would have been running out her her , he needed a wife to get hops family off his back about his transgressions with his male suitors , his motherbQueen Mary had already paid out 10.000 for letters he had sent to a young man in Paris.......so they agreed to marry as it fixed both of their issues! He promised her a family , with children and she promised him a wife , asking no questions as long as he told no lies!! I don't know any of this!! I'm just making up this story in my head as I go along!! 😂 Because I love romance and I think they always looked lovely together!! 😂
@@cnamand No , I knew this was an arranged marriage , but they were pretty good actors!! I mean to be in an arranged marriage , give him 4 beautiful , healthy children , act happily married in public and private!!! I don't know! I just think they both had some sort of connection outside being FORCED into wedlock???
Exactly what I thought. I began to wonder if they spent much time with him, or if he was mainly with his nannies. They kept poking and prodding at him, and then looking at him expectantly, as if he should now perform in some way.
Hey British Movietone .... Why not combine George of Kent's obituary with the funeral footage? You could have made a video of various clips of George and Marina rather than this mish-mash!
Prince Marina, Duchess of Kent, by no means grieved! She tried to divorce George (and attempted to run away to America), Duke of Kent, three times! A marriage of hell!

I thought they were some of the royals that married for love?

@@raquelspersonalopinion3598 hahaha, yes and remember they were royals in the 1930s
George VI (then Duke of York) is strikingly handsome!
Marina would have made a great Queen.
Not in England!
@@JM-lw3nx she looked better in clothes than Elizabeth Bowes Leon.
Princess Marina was lovely as is their daughter Princess Alexandra
It's funny how even on their honeymoon they didb't hold hands or look at each other when being photographed. They didn't even stand together.
Princess Marina looks to be quite tall
The royal baby scene...They don't really know what to do with the kid! 😅

I'm not sure Queen Mary had enough jewelry
I'm quite sure Queen Mary would agree with you there.

@@HarryB-lb1fb intriguing, who stopped her?
Lovely. So sad that Tampons has ended the monarchy 😢
Back when the streets were thronged for the wedding of the 4th son of the monarch. 😮

Did someone mislabel this?
WAS IT SARCASM TO LABEL A WEDDING AS AN "OBIT"!
sachseco ... you didn’t watch through to the end.
@@TheCat92067 These people have no clue about these people.
I thought it odd myself.
What's obit?
it means he/she passed away.
