EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Heraldic Emblems of the Duke and Duchess of Kent: A Symbolic Union of Two European Monarchies This photograph print showcases the heraldry of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and his wife, Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, as they stood proudly before their wedding guests in 1934. The image encapsulates the grandeur and rich history of the British monarchy, as well as the unique union of Greek and Danish royalty. The Duke's heraldic crest, displayed on the dexter side, features his personal arms, which include the crest, coronets, supporters, and arms of a Royal Prince of England. Notably, the labels on the arms bear the Duke's especial mark of difference: three blue anchors. This symbol of maritime power and stability reflects the Duke's status as a naval prince. On the sinister side of the image, the heraldic arms of the Kingdom of the Hellenes (Greece) are displayed within a garland. These arms represent the Duchess, who was born Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark. The white cross on a blue field symbolizes the Orthodox Christian faith, while the inescutcheon within the cross displays the Arms of Denmark, reflecting the Duchess's Danish heritage. The presence of the Garter, an ancient and prestigious British order, surrounding the Duke's arms signifies his membership in the Most Noble Order of the Garter. This emblem of chivalry and loyalty to the monarch further underscores the significance of the union between the Duke and Duchess of Kent. This photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich symbolism and history of the British and European monarchies, as well as the unique union of two royal families in the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Kent in 1934.
