David Prince of Wales did not like to attend marriages, especially the aristocrats ones: he always ended up feeling sorry for the two persons involved, he used to say. When they suggested David that Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark would be an excellent choice of wife, David declined the idea. Marina indeed looked like the Prince's taste: tall, slim, glamorous, independent. But David just could not accept the idea of an arranged marriage: if he had to, he would marry who he loved. George of Kent surprised everyone saying that he actually would marry her. He already eyed Marina and managed to won her interest, surprising her with stuff like suddenly flying to the place she was, in order to see her. As soon as David knew about the news, he ironically commented: "I see George was faster than me. I will come to the marriage, but will feel sorry for both." During the ceremony, David scandalized everyone lighting a cigarette directly from the priest's candle. #edwardviii #davidprinceofwales #dukeofwindsor #georgeofkent #princessmarina #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1VtCuFT7T/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lady Mary Lygon, aka Maimie, aka Blondy, how Evelyn Waugh called her. Hugh's sister, she would date (nothing less) than George of Kent for a period! There were rumours of marriage,as George seemed to like her a lot, but then the scandal of Mr. Lygon, Earl Beauchamp, which was her dad, messed up everything. When,years later, George would marry Marina, Evelyn would sarcastically comment: "I see your royal escalade is over." #maimielygon #ladymarylygon #evelynwaugh #georgeofkent #PoeticDandies #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7ZOj8swE_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Freda Dudley Ward's home was not only open to David Prince of Wales all the time: soon after the relationship got serious, it was open to David's brothers too. Not just to Bertie,who was dating her friend Sheila,but to George of Kent too. Freda and George became soon friends and it was not rare to see him slipping in Freda's house in order to be listened and adviced. #fredadudleyward #georgeofkent #edwardviii #davidprinceofwales #georgevi #DandyRoyalsClub #dukeofwindsor https://www.instagram.com/p/CWGLMQ8MB4n/?utm_medium=tumblr

"With brotherly affection George had tried again and again to see me, but although I missed his companionship during those lonely days, I held fast to my original policy of self-imposed isolation. However, after he learned that I had sent for Bertie, nothing could keep him away. Uninvited and unannounced, he showed up at The Fort during the afternoon. Surprised, I asked: "What the dickens are you doing here?" "Whether you want to see me nor not, I have come." He said." The Duke of Windsor about his brother George's behaviour during the Abdication crisis. I really loved it, they were so sweet with each other. 🤗 #edwardviii #davidprinceofwales #dukeofwindsor #georgeofkent #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/dandyroyals/p/CMriQ9VHsGz/?utm_medium=tumblr
