Prince George, with Princess Marina, accompanied by her parents the Princess Elena Vladimirovna and Prince Nicolas of Greece and Denmark, arrived on the 17th Sept 1934 at Balmoral Castle on a visit to the King and Queen. The Duchess of York's welcome was particularly cordial. She gave the Princess an affectionate kiss, which was returned with warmth. But most charming of all was the greeting of little Princess Elizabeth. A little shy, she stepped forward and stood on tiptoes to kiss the Princess, who bent down and gave her an affectionate hug. After a few presentations on the station platform Princess Marina made her first appearance before the people of Ballater, and a roar of cheering went up from a thousand throats. Princess Marina stood at the station entrance acknowledging the continuous cheering. Then from the far end of the station square arose another burst of cheers, and several hundred Ballater schoolchildren, released from their lessons, cried in unison "Welcome to Ballater! Welcome to Scotland! " This welcome delighted the Princess, and she waved her thanks to the children with a happy smile. Prince and Princess Nicolas were also touched by the enthusiasm of the welcome their daughter had received. For several minutes she and Prince George stood smilingly in front of the crowd before leaving for Balmoral Castle by motor-car. To honor the special day, Princess Nicolas, Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna wore an elegant suit and a big brooch with a sapphire cabochon, which was from the possessions of her mother the Grand Duchess Vladimir - more about the history>>
Princess Marina will not readily forget her drive from Ballater to Balmoral. At many points on the road crowds of people waved and cheered. At Crathie school the children were lined up along the side of the road, and they cheered and waved small flags as the Prince and Princess passed, the cars slowing down meanwhile. :::: Hochzeit und Trauung| Prinzessin Marina | Kent Jewels |Royal Wedding, the royal Bride MarinaRuby Wedding Gifts | Jewels Duchess of Kent | Rubin Schmuck der Herzogin von KentHochzeitsgeschenke Prinzessin Marina | Kent Royal Jewels | Royal Wedding and the GiftsDiamond Sautoir Royal Wedding Gifts | Jewels | Ruby Bracelet | Marina Duchess of KentDiamond Fringe Kokoshnik Tiara | Kent Royal Marriage Presents | Diamond RivièreMarina Herzogin von Kent | Kent Royal Jewels | The Engagement Ring and WeddingringsDiamond Fringe with Pearls Tiara | Royal Marriage Presents | Diamond BraceletKent Diamond Fringe Kokoshnik Tiara | Royal Wedding Gabriella Windsor|Royal Jewels Duchess of KentRomanov Diamond Girandoles from the Duchess of Kent | Royal Imperial JewelsDiamond and Pearl Scroll Tiara Bandeau Necklace | Romanov Jewel |Imperial Marriage PresentGrossen Perlentropfen Romanoff | Kent Royal Jewels | Pearshaped Pearls of Grand Duchess VladimirMargeriten Blumenbroschen Duchess Marina | Kent Royal Jewels | The Diamond Daisy BroochesArt Deco Diamond Bandeau Tiara wedding gift from the Duke of Kent Royal Jewel HistorySmaragd-Brosche Kent |Royal Jewel History| The Argyll -Emerald BroochSmaragd-Brosche Herzogin von Kent| Katherine Duchess of Kent |The Argyll -Emerald BroochDiamantsterne Broschen und Haarschmuck| Kent Royal Jewels | The Diamond StarsSmaragd der Herzogin von Agryll |Royal Historic Jewelry Princess Louise Duchess of ArgyllKent Aquamarin Diadem | Königlicher Schmuck |Royal Historic Jewels | Kent Tiara with AquamarinesRussian Sapphire Diamond Brooch | Katherine Duchess of Kent | Royal Imperial Saphir Herzogin Marina von KentPearl Necklace and Pearl Brooch Royal Engagement | Royal Betrothal Marina Duchess of KentPearl Necklace Royal Engagement Princess Marina of Greece| Royal Betrothal Duchess of KentRoyal Engagement Ring | Sapphire Diamond Cartier Ring| Marina Duchess of KentKent Pearl and Diamond Fringe Kokoshnik Tiara| Royal Spike Diadem |Royal Jewels Katherine Duchess of Kent :::: Cambridge Sapphires Necklace Collier | Royal Jewels of Princess Augusta Caroline parure of tiara, necklace, stomacher, earrings and two braceletsCambridge Saphire Halsband Collier |Königliche Juwelen und Schmuck der Prinzessin Augusta Caroline |Geschenk zur HochzeitCambridge Sapphires Tiara History| Royal Jewels of Princess Augusta Caroline parure of tiara, necklace, stomacher, earrings and two braceletsRoyal Cambridge Sapphires Diadem| Royal Jewels of Princess Augusta Caroline | Wedding gift from the Duchess of CambridgeCambridge Sapphires Necklace Collier | Royal Jewelry of Queen Mary historic sapphire parure tiara, necklace, stomacher, earrings and two braceletsCambridge Sapphires Necklace Collier | Royal Jewelry of Duchess of Kent historic sapphire parure tiara, necklace, stomacher, earrings and two bracelets :::: Grand Duchess Helena Diamond Bandeau | Greece Royal Jewels | Imperial Jewel of the RomanovDiamond Kokoshnik of Grand Duchess Helena Vladimirovna | Tiara Princess Olga of Greece :::: Link unseres Spenders:::: ANKAUF SAFIRE VERKAUF :::: SCHMUCK ANKAUFEN | SCHMUCK VERKAUFEN :::: Exclusive Siegelringe und Wappenringe :::: |
