Marina von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, Princess of Greece and Denmark was the daughter of Nicholaos von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, Prince of Greece and Denmark and Elena Vladimirovna Romanov, Grand Duchess of Russia.2 She was born on 30 November 1906 at Athens, Greece.1 She married George Edward Alexander Edmund Windsor, 1st Duke of Kent, son of George V Frederick Ernest Albert Windsor, King of the United Kingdom and Mary Prinzessin von Teck, on 29 November 1934 at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, England.1 She died on 27 August 1968 at age 61 at Kensington Palace, Kensington, London, England, from a brain tumour.3 She was buried on 30 August 1968 at Kent Mausoleum, Frogmore House, Windsor, Berkshire, England.3
She gained the title of HRH Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark on 30 November 1906. Through her marriage, Marina von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, Princess of Greece and Denmark gained the title of Duchess of Kent on 29 November 1934. She was invested as a Dame Grand Cross, Order of the British Empire (G.B.E.) in 1937.4 She was invested as a Imperial Order of the Crown of India (C.I.) in 1937.4 She was invested as a Dame Commander, Royal Victorian Order (D.C.V.O.).4 She was invested as a Dame of Grace, Order of St. John of Jerusalem (D.G.St.J.).4
Until her marriage in 1934, the glamourous Princess Marina of Greece spent an adventurous but little publicized childhood in her homeland and 12 years in exile with her family. She is descended from both the Greek and Russian royal families. No less artistic, inteligent and headstrong than her husband, she and Prince George came to dominate London society. Despite the dual responsibilities of her work for many charities and of raising her children, Marina was always a resourceful woman with a jest for life which her widowhood did nothing to diminish.
