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.
