"On 29 November 1934, the Duke of Kent married Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, the daughter of Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark and a great niece of Queen Alexandra, at Westminster Abbey. It was the last marriage between a son of a British Sovereign and a member of a foreign royal house to date." - But Lieutenant Mountbatten was born Prince of Greece and Denmark, and a member of a foreign royal house too?

You answered your own question: "It was the last marriage between a son of a British Sovereign and a member of a foreign royal house to date." The Duke of Edinburgh wasn't the son of a British sovereign, and neither, for that matter, is the present Queen; she's the DAUGHTER of a British sovereign. Morhange 02:43, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

For a little more information, Prince Philip became a British citizen before his marriage to Princess Elizabeth. So he was born a son of a foreign royal house, he lost that designation when he became a British citizen. Hope that helps.Prsgoddess187 15:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image

The picture of George is supposedly in the public domain because its author died at least 100 years ago. However, even if the author died immediately after taking the picture, this would make George at the time of the picture aged 4 years. This cannot be correct.

[edit] article needs to be reviewed

I think much of this article makes POV assertions as though they were fact: for example 'the family, who are famously philistine'. Using the verb 'to be' (are) in this sentence instead of a conditional or some kind of hedge such as 'are often regarded as' is inappropriate for an encycopaedia. Other phrases such as 'Given George V's famously dull brain' are not only too colloquial for an encyclopaedia but would be difficult to justify from an empirical point of view. I'm going to ask that this article's listing be reviewed. Daviddariusbijan 21:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA failed

Reasons given :

  • LEAD not long enough and not reflecting the articles depth.
  • POV sense to many sections.
  • Not enough references plus not enough variety in ref.

There is excessive reliance by a previous author or authors on "War of the Windsors: A Century of Unconstitutional Monarchy", which is a cpntroversial source to put it mildly. It is npot sufficient authority for the more contentious statements made in this entry.60.234.48.118 03:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible plagiarism?

Much of the content on this Wiki page is very similar or identical to content at http://www.martinfrost.ws/htmlfiles/royal_nazis.html#George. I don't know which is the original, or if both are taken from someone else.

That page is a copy of this. Proteus (Talk) 11:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

The article states that Kiki jumped out of the window, but the Channel 4 documentary clearly states that she took an overdose. I wonder which is true?Luckyles 07:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutral point of view/reliability

Much of the body of this article relies on Picknett, Prince, Prior & Brydon, which is not a guarantee of dependability. There should be alternative sources provided for the more unlikely/controversial claims, or they should be described as claims made in that book.Ncox 03:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
