For eight short years, before he was tragically killed in a inexplicable air crash through the Second World War, Prince George, Duke of Kent, kid of Ruler George V and Queen Mary, and his beautiful better half, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, were the United kingdom monarchy's - indeed, high society's - most attractive royal couple; and as golden royal symbols, they remain remembered. As a young man voraciously dependent on drugs and intimacy with men approximately women, marriage and parenthood for the impetuously wayward playboy prince, with his nightclubbing lifestyle and romantic liaisons, was seen as really the only stabilizing affect. Enter the trendy and sophisticated Princess Marina, the cultured, artistic, and multilingual youngest little princess of Prince Nicholas of Greece and his Russian-born better half, Grand Duchess Yelena Vladimirovna. As Duke and Duchess of Kent, George and Marina were the Crown's most glittering representatives, not least in the aftermath of the abdication of George's adored elder brother, the briefly reigned Ruler Edward VIII, the person not only with whom he previously shared both home and high-flying standards of living but who had helped treat him of his craving to morphine and cocaine.
