On This Day

Posted by Karen on February 2, 2025, 7:22 am

1931 - Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine married his first cousin-once-removed, Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark sister of Prince Philip. They were married at the Neue Palais in Darmstadt, Germany. The marriage was a double religious ceremony, both Orthodox and Lutheran.

The boy stood beside the bride is Prince Philip.

In this photo Cecilie reminds me of Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent.

Cecile really does look like Princess Marina in that last photo. I've always thought she was the prettiest of the sisters.

I've always thought so, too.
