EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white portrait graced the front cover of The Illustrated London News on November 24, 1934, showcasing the radiant beauty of Princess Marina of Greece, the latest royal bride-to-be. Born in Athens on November 26, 1906, Marina was the youngest daughter of Prince and Princess of Greece and Denmark. Her upcoming marriage to Prince George, Duke of Kent, was a much-anticipated event in the social circles of Europe. The photograph captures the elegant and poised Marina, dressed in a simple yet sophisticated white dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, accessorized with a pearl choker and a tiara. Her expressive eyes convey a sense of excitement and anticipation as she prepares for her nuptials at the hallowed Westminster Abbey on November 29, 1934. Marina's marriage to Prince George, the sixth son of King George V, marked the end of the British monarchy's long-standing tradition of royal marriages with German princesses. The union was celebrated as a symbol of unity and reconciliation between Greece and Britain, following years of strained relations. The Illustrated London News, a leading British weekly magazine, was renowned for its high-quality photography and coverage of royal events. This iconic portrait of Princess Marina, with her captivating smile and regal bearing, serves as a testament to the magazine's commitment to documenting the lives of the British monarchy and their European counterparts. Marina's marriage to Prince George brought her great happiness and a lasting legacy as the Duchess of Kent. Their union produced three children: Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Prince Michael of Kent. This photograph remains an enduring reminder of a historic moment in royal history, as well as a tribute to the timeless allure of the monarchy and the captivating figure of Princess Marina.
