EDITORS COMMENTS
This early portrait captures the youthful beauty and elegance of Princess Marina of Greece, who was born on November 21, 1906, in Russia, as the eldest daughter of Princess Helen of Russia and Prince Nicholas of Greece. Raised in Greece, Marina's life took an unexpected turn when she met and married Prince George, Duke of Kent, on July 29, 1934. The union brought together two royal families, as Marina was the granddaughter of Grand Duchess Xenia of Russia, while Prince George was the younger brother of King George V of the United Kingdom. In this photograph, taken in 1920, the future princess is just 14 years old, yet her poise and refined demeanor are evident. Her striking features, including her piercing blue eyes and delicate features, are accentuated by her simple yet elegant attire. The portrait offers a glimpse into Marina's early life before she became a princess consort and the mother of three children: Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Prince Michael of Kent. Marina's life was marked by tragedy and triumph. She lost her father at a young age and experienced the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. However, she went on to become a beloved member of the British royal family, known for her charitable work and dedication to her family. This image serves as a testament to Marina's rich heritage and the promise of a life filled with royal duties and responsibilities.
