I have to say the opposite was true for me. I didn’t know much about her but I came to admire her very much. Her marriage was not at all easy and she had a fairly lonely life once her children were grown and living their own lives. She must have felt very isolated and perhaps that’s why she relied so much on the company of her sisters and their families which took her further away from the British Royal Family as it forged a new direction where most things were central to Clarence House.
hmm I didn't know much about Marina, but she appeals less and less
I would prefer to know the truth about something than a fantasy... and how on earth cuodl someone "grow out of haemophilia"?
As I said. Don't shoot the messenger!!! The author goes into lengthy detail about mitochondrial DNA which was far beyond my comprehension. I was on book-swapping terms with my doctor so I shared this one with him. He confirmed that the author had made a compelling case ON SOME POINTS. Well. Yes. I'm aware of how statistics work. Re 'haemophilia'. The author maintained that he'd gone back 16 generations of Queen Victoria's family and could only find a "blood disorder".
I'm not "shooting" anyone. I'm pointing out that as far as I know (I'm certainly no expert) no one "grows out" of Haemophilia. and it seems to me quite obvious that this is a whole big fantasy, like the one I've seen on the internet wehre Diana had a secret daughter by Charles...
It does seem unbelievable that a Duchess who is not only a Duchess but a Royal Princess as well would be so involved with the peasants. However, Marina deserves credit for encountering the people the way she did.
I understood that he got over his drug problems..(not that I'd have wanted to see Marina as queen)….No...I don"t believe so. For all his good looks, his charisma, and his eminently suitable lovely wife Marina, George is widely reported to have had a serious problem with substance abuse.
Yes, that's my understanding.Was the idea to have Prince George become King because he and Princess Marina had a son, Prince Edward?
