She is one of the most beautiful princess in the Royal family and the best dresser. I wish we could see her more often. Her husband is also very attractive, handsome. Very good looking couple.
I too find them to be the most gorgeous couple of the RF from the beginning. He's a heartthrob. Yes he's a spitting image of his gd pa and the last tsar Nicholas.
I have so much admiration for their family. Beautiful couple, old world elegance, true royals and they have lived a life of service to the crown even though Prince Michael is a second son and does not have an official role.
Beautiful photographic documentary. I am not afraid to be wrong saying that they are a couple very in love, like two lovebirds. his attitude is unmistakable. I congratulate Lady Mountbatte for this charmant and beautiful site. We lovers of art and photography are fascinated by this good taste and delicacy. Lots of love to the Royal Family. 🐦 🕊️ 🐦 💒 🌈 🐦 🕊️ 🐦
I think Princess Michael is very regal (in a nice way) wonderful bearing with great dignity. The Princess, along with her husband evokes a turn of the century (19th - 20th) Hapsburg royal aura... I love this link to the old royal court of the Austro/Hungarian empire... The Romanov connection too...
Are you mad. No elegance but a poor snob and a pure racist. What do you expect given the Nazi party and her father's involvement in it. But who knows you might worship people like this.
Thank goodness!! This is the woman who wore the " blackamor" broach to attend a meeting with Meghan Markle. She claimed she didn't know what it meant which is BS. She knew exactly what it represented!! Witch with a capital "B"!!'
I once met Prince Michael at a Genealogy Conference. He was interested in my husband's Family Tree because of the contribution made by our family to Cathedral worship in Carlisle ,and to politics and the welfare of mining families in Midlothian and Cumbria. I was amazed when the Prince said," It must be fun finding out one's history for oneself.I had mine handed to me on a plate." Such a nice man to talk to.
This video is so elegant--just like the people in it. The music you chose is also brilliant. Like others have said, the Prince does indeed resemble the late Czar. How fascinating it must be to belong to such a family where so many photos & paintings of ancient generations exist and you find out that you look exactly like relatives from past generations so long ago. Thank you for posting this beautiful video!
I worked on their nether lypiatt manor home and its truely stunning, the gardens are beautiful. Staircase is amazing from the basement to the top and as i was bolstering the flaunching off i was sure a voice told me to SHHHH in my ear, i stopped and looked but i was alone on the stairs. We even found some old monopoly money in the plastered wall, i take it one of their children hid it in there maybe?. Lord Drayson has purchased an amazing property. Im not suprised in the slightest that she didnt want to give it up.
Prince Michael is a living link to old school royalty. REAL Royalty. His parents raised him in a royal style that existed before the first world war. Marina was a blood princess, from numerous family tree branches. George, obviously, the 4th son of H.M. The King of England, last Emperor of India.
@@marieblanchedabrigeon4106 No, you're stupid for not being awake as to how totally evil monarchy is and has always been. Shame on you for being a gullible twit, believing in their self serving propaganda.🤮
I so vividly recall the British paper-press giving her such a hard time in their early marriage. Attempting to dig the dirt on her,calling her 'Princess Pushy' etc.It really was quit vile.She must've breathed a sigh of relief when Camilla stepped into the spotlight,lol.Someone else for the gutter-press to sink their rabid teeth into.Fact is,she appears quite dignified throughout it all.Her & her hubby seem pretty solid.She's aged very well & always looks immaculately turned out.
Michael and Marie-Christine - such a regal, incredibly good-looking couple. They were made to be sovereigns...he has such a look of the late Czar, and she has such European elegance and style!
Princess Michael was a beauty and still is and she has the most elegant speaking voice plus being a brilliant historian and author. I have her book The Queen of Four Kingdoms.
Princess Michael of Kent is the most beautiful Monarch ever. So graceful and sweet, she knows just who she is and where she stands. Yah bless her and her family.
Such a beautiful and stylish couple. Of course the princess is a bit peculiar, but I think she is wonderful and wish to grow old with just as much grace.
someone here referred to"the Royal House of Kent". There is no such "Royal House" as Kent. Its just a title. A Royal Dukedom within the Royal House of Windsor. Lots of members of the immediate royal family over the centuries have been Dukes of Kent. Just like theyve been Dukes of Cambridge, Gloucester, Edinburgh, York, Cornwall, Connaught. ..The same Royal Dukedoms that become vacant and reinstated as generations pass. They are not separate Royal Houses
If she used her own first name and the title Princess it would infer that she is a Princess in her own right, which she isn't. Her title is only gained through marriage with Prince Michael of Kent. Hence Princess Michael of Kent - which is a title, and not her name.
In Denmark,Norway and Sweden,Royal consorts become Prince or Princess on their wedding day. Mary Elizabeth Donaldson became Crown Princess Mary on her wedding day.It would be good if William and Kate were to be named as Crown Prince William and Crown Princess Catherine ,by the Queen, like Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette Merit of Norway and Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden .Also if a Queen steps down as sovereign due to age and infirmity ,she should be known as Queen ----,the Queen Mother. The husband of a reigning monarch should be known as King Consort and not merely Prince Consort.If any one deserves the Title of King Consort it should be Prince Philip.He has been slighted over and over again by his mother-in-law and his wife ,yet he never complains in public.If the Royal family were not prepared to make him King Consort,he should have been able to continue his career in the Navy. It was being slighted by his wife Queen Margrethe that effectively end Prince Henrik's and Margrethe's marriage
The wife of Nicholas 2 was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria as well as William 2 of Germany and George 5 of the United Kingdom. The connection between Victoria and the Romanovs is King Christian 9 of Denmark whose daughter Dagmar is the mother of Nicolas 2. Dagmar’s sister Thyra is the wife of Ernst-August 3 of Hanover, house of which comes out Victoria. And Ernst-August 1 of Hanover was Victoria’s biological uncle. On the side of his mother, Michael of Kent is doubly the descendant of the Tsars Nicholas 1 and Alexander 2 of Russia.
Queen Victoria was known as the grandmother of Europe & King Christian of Denmark was the grandfather because so many of their children were married into European royalty. During WWI , Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, son of Vicky, crown princess of Prussia & Victoria's grandson, fought against his own English Cousin.
She's brilliant! Her dress sense is impeccable, her manner is flawless and she is a true Princess. And, she adores Prince Michael as is clear from ever single photo. My fave quote from her was the one about bedrooms!
Nella Famiglia Reale della Regina Elizabeth questa coppia è una delle belle unioni. Un matrimonio d'amore fra due bellissime persone sia lui che lei, che continua ad essere una consolidata storia d'amore. Così deve essere! A me piacciono queste storie reali. Ho sempre avuto molta ammirazione per questi due coniugi ai quali presento a tutt'oggi il mio rispettoso complimento e l'augurio di un sempre migliore proseguo! Ciao
From The Guardian [UK], April 16th 2014: "Princess Michael of Kent acknowledged last night that her father [Gunther von Reibnitz] had been an officer in Hitler's SS. ... "The princess was born in the final months of the war to Gunther von Reibnitz, and his wife, Marianna, who had skied for Austria in the 1936 winter Olympics. The couple fled with their baby and her brother, Frederick, into American-occupied Bavaria when the Soviet army approached their estates in Silesia in 1945. ... "'It struck me that someone was covering something up,' he [Mr Philip Hall, the historian] said. He went to the Berlin Document Centre and there he discovered evidence that Baron von Reibnitz was a major in the SS. "Gunther von Reibnitz had joined in 1933 and had been a member of the Nazi Party since 1930, three years before Hitler came to power. 'He was somebody who went in early and ahead of the mainstream,' Mr Hall said."
+Voltarine DeCleyre Many if not most high placed German families were members of the Nazi Party and most of the so called noble families of Germany, most again were officer class just as they are in the UK and many had no choice but to accept commissions in the SS branch of the army... It does not have the same meaning as it does in the UK... at that time in Germany ... choice was not an option... Prince Philip's brother in laws...who he barely know were officers in the SS too !
Is this just news in Britain, now? I recall hearing of talk at the time of their wedding, that she wasn't welcome in the Family because of her Father's SS commission. In any event, they seem like a truly devoted couple who get along well, appear happy and content and have loud, rowdy, shallow, upper-class Brit "HooRah Harry" kids. At least they all clean up well.
Princess Michael is a stunning, intelligent woman full.of personality and a rrspected historian. Unfortunately our Royal family didn't appreciate her obvious gifts as an assert and instead sneered at her and consigned her (and her handsome huzband) to the obscurity of being minor Royals without public duties. Of course she would probably have outshone all the other Royal women - apart from Diana. There was huge jealousy and backbiting towards Marie (Princesz Michael) at Buckingham and Kensington Palaces by courtiers who duly leaked unflattering stories about her - which is their modus operandi when new brides seems to potentially threaten the popularity of the Queen's immediate family members. So pathetic!! Now with all the fuss over the departure of Prince Harry they could have called on the Princess and her eqally stunning grown childten...lady Gabriella and Lord Frederick to do duties on behalf of the Queen. Charles won't hear of it though. He even snubs his nieces Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie who also aren't given any Royal duties. It's crazy! All these potsntial assets going to.waste. the RF shouid be more democratic from within, and utilise all its members. Princess Michael woukd have been a superb representative of the monarchy.
I quite agree, there always seemed to be an attempt to keep them in obscurity, the Queen Mother would have had her hand in that just as she blamed Wallis for the abdication by Edward, it was the palace courtiers with the government that had serious doubts about his suitability, willingness to do the job, which he found boring and spent little time doing, to his Nazi sympathies which really alarmed everyone, they would never have let him become King and Wallis was the scapegoat they used to avert disaster. Wallis did not want to marry him, in fact she tried to leave for Paris quietly but was betrayed . Edward found out and threatened to kill himself, if she ever left him. Put yourself in her shoes-- what was she going to do? Leave, refuse the marriage if he kills himself -she is to blame, she marries him, he will abdicate, again her fault. Wallis resigned herself to a life of rejection by the royals and society, a man child whose supposed love was a obsession and needed constant mothering . They were not equal partners in any sense, Wallis was intelligent, he was not, most found him rather tiresome and boring. She had to live with that , and the memory of the man she really loved and had been an equal partner in their marriage coming to that realization too late. That must have left a hurt we cannot fathom, so if she on occasion was a bit snappy with him, I understand why. Wallace sacrificed her personal happiness to marry Edward and stay married until he died. I could not have done that, I would have said, No, don't wish to marry you sir, if want to kill yourself-- your problem, not mine. It boggles the mind of the hatred the Queen mother had for her, it was Wallis who killed her husband too. I agree his role was a heavy one, but his smoking was the cause of his health issues, the power of the Queen mother behind the scenes to tarnish those she dislikes is scary, even Prince Philip had to deal with her underhanded scheming to put a wedge between himself and the Queen. Unfortunately, Prince Charles has that same mindset to a degree, very likely due to the Queen Mother's influence . As you say, there are others there to help with duties, how they are to keep up with all the obligations with so few people to carry them out will be a test of his theory. I think, it will become an issue of two few and too many obligations. Than what happens . Interested to see how this plays out.
Yes, I heard her in an interview remark of the British royal family " My blood is much bluer than theirs". She laughed as she was saying it, and I don't know how geneuinely snobby she is, but a royal "expert" commented that yes, in fact her lineage was much more ancient, and well... royal. Whatever. As we Americans say " they put their pants on one leg at a time like everyone else".
Princess Michael of Kent has nothing to brag about - quite the opposite. Many decades ago the press exposed her family's Nazi heritage. Funny she doesn't talk about that! I believe for a time the famous satirical magazine 'Private Eye' referred to her as 'Princess Nazi of Kent'!
@@glamdolly30 The Saxe Coborg houses of Bavaria initiated Illuminati control of the Satanic elites. When Jesuit professor Adam Weishaupt was running for his life in France in the 18th Century, he found refuge in Bavaria. The Satanic Illuminati Freemason Luciferians and Nazism can be traced back to the very doorsteps of the Saxe Coborgs in Bavaria. This is an ancient bloodsucking lineage, nothing changed since Vlad the Impaler. Except maybe they take a more glamorous approach to their satanic feasts.
Imagine her marrying into the line of succession, rather than the sexier, edgier fringes of the royal family. You kinda can't see her doing it (way out of league, for Camilla's lover), but also wish you could witness how she'd get along with the Queen.
Linda Watkin is true, the publicity is not always the truth about the famous people, in this case I can assure that she's an adorable real Princess, loving and consider to others, I belive that make a real princess not a tittle.
You’d never believe she was brought up in an Australian suburb with an Australian accent and her mother was a hairdresser lol. Also her father was an SS Nazi officer in the war.
something I've always wondered: why is she Princess Michael, and not Princess Marie-Christine? I've never heard of any other woman marrying into the Family and dropping her own first name for his.
Elle est belle. Ils sont un modèle de la noblesse. C'est simple, en même temps. Descendant de Diane de Poitiers. Rouler à la perfection. Manipulation exquise de la langue Français entre autres...
huh. interesting. then why didn't Diana become Princess Charles? her title was gained thru marriage. is it a matter of rank? marrying the son of the sovereign vs. a cousin?

Amazing how her husband has stuck by her, despite her many, well publicised affairs. They produced two strange looking children that's for sure! I don't suppose they work for a living either (wasn't the son a drug addict?)
Please explain the comment two strange looking children? The fact their son chose a lifestyle that was not good for him, cannot, I believe be leveled at his parents, we all make our own choices- good or bad and the consquences thereof, is there a hint of not his biological children or something, I am confused.
She is one of the most beautiful princess in the Royal family and the best dresser. I wish we could see her more often. Her husband is also very attractive, handsome. Very good looking couple.

It is a prefix

As you say, there are others there to help with duties, how they are to keep up with all the obligations with so few people to carry them out will be a test of his theory. I think, it will become an issue of two few and too many obligations. Than what happens . Interested to see how this plays out.
Lady Mountbatten I have been a royal watcher all of my life [now 69] to me you were one of the beauty's , believe me.
LEST WE FORGET Mikhail Kravchenko !!!! JUSTICE FOR HER BUMPED OFF LOVER!!!
I read your comment on another video. I am going to g oogle him now
At least one line/ from prince George and princess Marina/ not in divorces disaster.
His mother Alexandra was a gentle and so beautiful lady,
We don't have any more ladies after her....😟
His mother was Marina of Greece and DenMark, his sister is Princess Alexandra
This is not George V but his grandson Michael
The most beautiful royal!!
Yes, I heard her in an interview remark of the British royal family " My blood is much bluer than theirs". She laughed as she was saying it, and I don't know how geneuinely snobby she is, but a royal "expert" commented that yes, in fact her lineage was much more ancient, and well... royal. Whatever. As we Americans say " they put their pants on one leg at a time like everyone else".
Well said lol
@@msg4141 she's always been full of herself and thinks she is better than most other people.
They sh** like the rest of us too. 🙄🙄
Princess Michael of Kent has nothing to brag about - quite the opposite. Many decades ago the press exposed her family's Nazi heritage. Funny she doesn't talk about that! I believe for a time the famous satirical magazine 'Private Eye' referred to her as 'Princess Nazi of Kent'!
@@glamdolly30 The Saxe Coborg houses of Bavaria initiated Illuminati control of the Satanic elites. When Jesuit professor Adam Weishaupt was running for his life in France in the 18th Century, he found refuge in Bavaria. The Satanic Illuminati Freemason Luciferians and Nazism can be traced back to the very doorsteps of the Saxe Coborgs in Bavaria. This is an ancient bloodsucking lineage, nothing changed since Vlad the Impaler. Except maybe they take a more glamorous approach to their satanic feasts.
Beautiful family. Amen 🙏🏻 🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏🏻.
One of the most elegant ladies in the Royal circles
Agreed!
Imagine her marrying into the line of succession, rather than the sexier, edgier fringes of the royal family. You kinda can't see her doing it (way out of league, for Camilla's lover), but also wish you could witness how she'd get along with the Queen.
Born to be princess!
She is an elegant and intelligent woman who has bad publicity.
Linda Watkin he
Linda
Linda Watkin she's is a very nice person, very very good.
Linda Watkin is true, the publicity is not always the truth about the famous people, in this case I can assure that she's an adorable real Princess, loving and consider to others, I belive that make a real princess not a tittle.
Are we talking out the Princess Pushy here
She looks like Diana in some pictures.
+Mark Gable Sorry, she looks nothing like Diana. Diana was gorgeous, this woman is just plain Jane and that awful spinster hairstyle is too much.
SummerSissle They could be sisters.
Many don't know that Princess Diane has direct bloodline descendents among the very top 12 Dukes of the realm.
@@SummerSisslediana was not gorgeous, she had a big nose, huge eyeballs and no waist
She's beautiful.
You just know she thought she'd be all chummy with the queen 🤣🤣🤣
The harp solo just blows me away.
Bella familia gracias un abrazo con mucho cariño bendiciones
Didn't something strange happen to her lover?
she is beautiful
Tree pot legs !
Neil John she's adorable and beautiful!
Fantastic.
Lady C doesn’t like her ,but say she really knows how to present herself as a princess. For the exact quotes it’s on youtube.
who cares what that stuffy ols snob "Lady"C thinks
Charles definitely takes after him in looks.
Marie-Christine, princess Michael of Kent, was named "Valkyrie"in the royal circle !
Good show, the Windsors, or whatever they are called now, must look in jest
beatiful woman !
Felicidades un abrazo con mucho cariño Dios y la virgen les bendigan con amor y paz
Thank you for sharing this lovely video
Now this lady looks every inch a princess !
Look and learn Meghan !
elegance personified
LEST WE FORGET Mikhail Kravchenko !!!! JUSTICE FOR HER BUMPED OFF LOVER!!!
Where is Prince Michael today
like it, hope you can post more
Nice picture.
She had a lot of bad luck, and the British press have acted brutally towards her.
You’d never believe she was brought up in an Australian suburb with an Australian accent and her mother was a hairdresser lol. Also her father was an SS Nazi officer in the war.
she looks manly to me...
I like how they mention that he gave up his right to the Throne. At this rate of throne dominance, even Charles has little chance.
What is the music playing on this video? It's lovely
Waltz of the flowers from the nutcracker?
Yet poor woman was pulled to bits by brits
She gets a lot of flack for being tall, blonde, and Teutonic.
Pity about her tree pot legs , rather cart horse than thoroughbred !
something I've always wondered: why is she Princess Michael, and not Princess Marie-Christine? I've never heard of any other woman marrying into the Family and dropping her own first name for his.
Wants to be called princess, not duchess
Because she is not a princess in her own right
I liked this.
Sweet
Elle est belle. Ils sont un modèle de la noblesse. C'est simple, en même temps. Descendant de Diane de Poitiers. Rouler à la perfection. Manipulation exquise de la langue Français entre autres...
Stuck up to say the least
huh. interesting. then why didn't Diana become Princess Charles? her title was gained thru marriage.
is it a matter of rank? marrying the son of the sovereign vs. a cousin?
It was the media who crowned her "Princess Diana," her official title during her marriage was the Princess of Wales--or, informally, Princess Charles.
@@cherylannemason her title was Diana, Princess of Wales. She also could be called Princess Charles of Wales. There is no formal or informal titles.
If I wanted Waltz of the Flowers.......who are these ppl?
I think she us beautiful But have heard that she can be quiet the snobbish one
Yes, very, very snobish
Do you mean quite??
She is KNOWN to be a COW in royal circles
Megatiggers I was just mocking the poster below me that's all.
Who are they? please .
One of the great comic duos of our time.

So is he saying he abdicated to marry her?
Only a King can abdicate but others can opt out of the line of succession
what's their relationship to the royal family (windsor)?
Prince Michael and the Queen are first cousins
Amazing how her husband has stuck by her, despite her many, well publicised affairs. They produced two strange looking children that's for sure! I don't suppose they work for a living either (wasn't the son a drug addict?)
glamdolly20 yes their son was both a heroin and cocaine addict
glamdolly20 Prince Michael is royal historian he wrote books on the royal family
glamdolly20 bbe h
Please explain the comment two strange looking children? The fact their son chose a lifestyle that was not good for him, cannot, I believe be leveled at his parents, we all make our own choices- good or bad and the consquences thereof, is there a hint of not his biological children or something, I am confused.
@@myrnaskogland1268 It was a throwaway comment I wrote 3 years ago - I'm afraid I don't even remember the video now, so I can't help you!
