A Royal Life by HRH Duke of Kent & Hugo Vickers #HouseofWindsor #BookReview #Audiobook

I finally got around to listening to the #Dukeofkent's memoir recently. A cousin to the late #QueenElizabethII, he has also led a life of service. Famed royal historian #HugoVickers helped put together this book. #houseofwindsor #ARoyalLife #bookreview

HRH The Duke of Kent has been at the heart of the British Royal Family throughout his life. As a working member of the Royal Family, he has supported his cousin, The Queen, representing her at home and abroad. His royal duties began when, in 1952, at the age of sixteen, he walked in the procession behind King George VI’s coffin, later paying homage to The Queen at her Coronation in 1953. Since…

“When I think of old-time royal elegance, the image I think of is the photograph of Duchess Marina of Kent and her sister Princess Olga, together on the staircase, during the wedding of Queen Sofia of Spain in 1962. These two ladies were refined, I think they inherited it from their maternal grandmother, Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna” - Submitted by Anonymous

Happy 87th birthday to Princess Alexandra!

Born on 25 December 1936, Alexandra Helen Elizabeth Olga Christabel; born 25 December 1936) is the only surviving granddaughter of George V and a first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II through her father Prince George, Duke of Kent. Alexandra's mother was Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark. At the time of her birth, she was sixth in the line of succession to the British throne; as of 2023, she is 57th.

On 24 April 1963, she married The Hon. Angus James Bruce Ogilvy, at Westminster Abbey. Angus Ogilvy declined the Queen's offer to be created an earl upon marriage, so their children carry no titles. Angus Ogilvy was knighted in 1988 (when Princess Alexandra assumed the style of The Hon. Lady Ogilvy).

Princess Alexandra and Angus Ogilvy had two children, James Robert Bruce Ogilvy (born 29 February 1964) and Marina Victoria Alexandra Ogilvy (born 31 July 1966) and four grandchildren: Flora Ogilvy (29), Alexander Ogilvy (27), Zenouska Mowatt (33) and Christian Mowatt (30).

Beginning in the late 1950s, Princess Alexandra carried out an extensive programme of engagements in support of the Queen, both in the United Kingdom and overseas. Taking part in roughly 120 engagements each year, Princess Alexandra was one of the most active members of the royal family. She made 110 engagements in 2012. However, in late June 2013, she cancelled her engagements due to arthritis.

Here’s some AI-Generated Art of historical royals I created via an photo filter app. These were the ones I liked the best:

1. Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia.

2. Princess Helen of Greece and Denmark (née Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia) with her daughters Princesses Olga, Elisabeth and Marina of Greece and Denmark.

3. Crown Princess Cecilie of Prussia.

4. Queen Helen of Romania (née Princess Helen of Greece and Denmark) and

5. Queen Olga of Greece (née Grand Duchess Olga Konstantinovna of Russia).

For those getting agitated about BRF representation at King Constantine’s funeral, it looks like representation has been decided on the basis of kinship rather than status.

Anne is there as Charles’ representative but also in some way to represent her father who was a Prince of Greece and Denmark and Constantine’s great uncle. Lady Gabriella is there as William’s representative but also to represent the Kent branch of the family who are descended from Philip’s first cousin (and Constantine’s great aunt) Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark (I suspect the older Kents couldn’t make the journey).

The familial ties between the Danish royals (Queen Margrethe was Constantine’s sister in law), the Spanish royals (Queen Sofia was Constantine’s sister) and the Greek royal family are much closer. And although the British royals and the Greek royals had very close familial and personal ties when the Greeks were living in London (the Greeks were always invited to everything) Charles probably feels justified in sending second tier representation because Constantine was a deposed monarch. It would probably be different if he had been a reigning sovereign.

Thank you for this educated explanation.

The #AudiblePlus catalog had a few books on the #royalfamily that I had to check out. One was about the #DukeandDuchessofKent, #QueenElizabethII aunt and uncle. #PrinceGeorge and #PrincessMarina both came from royal houses. #Audiobook #BookReview

For eight brief years, before he was tragically killed in a mysterious air crash during the Second World War, Prince George, Duke of Kent, son of King George V and Queen Mary, and his beautiful wife, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, were the British monarchy’s, indeed, high society’s, most glamorous royal couple; and as golden royal icons they are still remembered.As a young man,…

“I am curious about Princess Elizabeth of Greece and Denmark, because unlike her sisters Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark( later Duchess of Kent) and Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark( later Princess of yugoslavia). I am wondering how her short life kinda went, how she became the Countess of toerring-jettenbach, her difficulties in exile, and her family relations with russia, denmark etc. She is interesting” - Submitted by Anonymous
