Prince George, Duke of Kent

Both before and after his marriage to Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark Prince George had a string of affairs with both men and women, from socialites to Hollywood celebrities.

 The better known of his lovers included banking heiress Poppy Baring, socialite Margaret Whigham (later Duchess of Argyll and involved in a notoriously scandalous divorce case), and Barbara Cartland (who believed him to be the father of her daughter Raine McCorquodale).

 There were "strong rumours" that he had affairs with musical star Jessie Matthews, writer Cecil Roberts and Noël Coward, a relationship which Coward's long-term boyfriend, Graham Payn, denied.

 The security services "reported that Coward and Kent had been seen parading together through the streets of London, dressed and made up as women, and had once been arrested by the police for suspected prostitution".

The Duke of Kent is rumoured to have been addicted to drugs, especially morphine and cocaine, a rumour which reputedly originated with his friendship with Kiki Preston, whom he first met in the mid-1920s. 

Reportedly, Prince George shared Kiki in a ménage à trois with Jorge Ferrara, the bisexual son of the Argentinian ambassador to Britain. Other alleged sexual liaisons were with the art historian and Soviet spy Anthony Blunt and Indira Raje, Maharani of Cooch Behar

*Some of these are more rumour that fact so please take with a grain of salt and with the story given.*

Et voilà! Cet exercice n’était pas obligatoire de la part de mon prof, mais je tenais à le faire car, contrairement à d’habitude, je n’utilise pas le dessin de référence en quasi-permanence. Cela avait de quoi me faire sortir d’une zone de confort et j’en ai bavé, notamment vers les dernières pages où je commençais à m���impatienter et à tout rusher. Placements de texte inconsistents, arrière-plans absents, nœuds graphiques... Toujours est-il que j’étais fier du script que j’avais écrit, et que je ne suis pas déçu de comment je l’ai retranscrit en BD.

Cela dit, je la retravaillerai quand même. Sans doute sous la forme d’un roman graphique.

BD faite dans le cadre d’un exercice de type « sujet libre » de mon école. Les deux dernières pages arrivent juste après.

Siblings of King George VI

Prince George, Duke of Kent

George Edward Alexander Edmund was born 20th December 1902 and died 25th August 1942 was the fourth son and fifth child of King George V and Queen Mary.

He was the younger brother of Kings Edward VIII and George VI. He held the title of Duke of Kent from 1934 until his death in a military air-crash on 25 August 1942.

As a young man the Duke came to the opinion that the future lay in aviation. It became his passion, and in 1929 the duke earned his pilot's licence. He was the first of the Royal family to cross the Atlantic by air. Prior to his flying days, he entered the Royal Navy, and was trained in intelligence work while stationed at Rosyth.

In October 1938 George was appointed Governor General of Australia in succession to Lord Gowrie with effect from November 1939. On 11 September 1939 it was announced that, owing to the outbreak of the Second World War, the appointment was postponed.

At the start of the Second World War, George returned to active military service in the rank of rear admiral, briefly serving on the Intelligence Division of the Admiralty. In April 1940, he transferred to the Royal Air Force. He temporarily relinquished his rank as air vice-marshal (the equivalent of rear admiral) to assume the post of staff officer at RAF Training Command in the rank of group captain

Both before and after his marriage, Prince George had a string of affairs with both men and women, from socialites to Hollywood celebrities. The better known of his lovers included banking heiress Poppy Baring, socialite Margaret Whigham, Barbara Cartland (who believed him to be the father of her daughter Raine McCorquodale).

The Duke of Kent is rumoured to have been addicted to drugs, especially morphine and cocaine, a rumour which reputedly originated with his friendship with Kiki Preston,

In his attempt to rescue his cocaine-addicted brother from the influence of Kiki, Edward VIII attempted for a while to persuade both George and Kiki to break off their contact, to no avail. Eventually, Edward forced George to stop seeing Kiki and also forced Kiki to leave England

It has been alleged for years that American publishing executive Michael Temple Canfield (1926–1969) was the illegitimate son of Prince George and Kiki Preston.

Prince George died on 25 August 1942, at the age of 39, along with fourteen others, on board RAF Short Sunderland flying boat W4026, which crashed into a hillside near Dunbeath, Caithness, Scotland, while flying from Invergordon, Ross and Cromarty, to Iceland on non-operational duties.

His elder son, seven-year-old Prince Edward, succeeded him as Duke of Kent. Princess Marina, his wife, had given birth to their third child, Prince Michael, only seven weeks before Prince George's death. Their other child was a daughter, Princess Alexandra.

His death while in the service of the RAF marked the first time in more than 450 years that a member of the Royal family died on active service.

In his attempt to rescue his cocaine-addicted brother from the influence of Kiki, Edward VIII attempted for a while to persuade both George and Kiki to break off their contact, to no avail. Eventually, Edward forced George to stop seeing Kiki and also forced Kiki to leave England

It has been alleged for years that American publishing executive Michael Temple Canfield (1926–1969) was the illegitimate son of Prince George and Kiki Preston.

Prince George died on 25 August 1942, at the age of 39, along with fourteen others, on board RAF Short Sunderland flying boat W4026, which crashed into a hillside near Dunbeath, Caithness, Scotland, while flying from Invergordon, Ross and Cromarty, to Iceland on non-operational duties.

His elder son, seven-year-old Prince Edward, succeeded him as Duke of Kent. Princess Marina, his wife, had given birth to their third child, Prince Michael, only seven weeks before Prince George's death. Their other child was a daughter, Princess Alexandra.

His death while in the service of the RAF marked the first time in more than 450 years that a member of the Royal family died on active service.

Prince George, Duke of Kent

George Edward Alexander Edmund was born 20th December 1902 and died 25th August 1942 was the fourth son and fifth child of King George V and Queen Mary.

He was the younger brother of Kings Edward VIII and George VI. He held the title of Duke of Kent from 1934 until his death in a military air-crash on 25 August 1942.

As a young man the Duke came to the opinion that the future lay in aviation. It became his passion, and in 1929 the duke earned his pilot's licence. He was the first of the Royal family to cross the Atlantic by air. Prior to his flying days, he entered the Royal Navy, and was trained in intelligence work while stationed at Rosyth.

In October 1938 George was appointed Governor General of Australia in succession to Lord Gowrie with effect from November 1939. On 11 September 1939 it was announced that, owing to the outbreak of the Second World War, the appointment was postponed.

At the start of the Second World War, George returned to active military service in the rank of rear admiral, briefly serving on the Intelligence Division of the Admiralty. In April 1940, he transferred to the Royal Air Force. He temporarily relinquished his rank as air vice-marshal (the equivalent of rear admiral) to assume the post of staff officer at RAF Training Command in the rank of group captain

Both before and after his marriage, Prince George had a string of affairs with both men and women, from socialites to Hollywood celebrities. The better known of his lovers included banking heiress Poppy Baring, socialite Margaret Whigham, Barbara Cartland (who believed him to be the father of her daughter Raine McCorquodale). There were "strong rumours" that he had affairs with musical star Jessie Matthews, writer Cecil Roberts and Noël Coward, a relationship which Coward's long-term boyfriend, Graham Payn, denied. The security services "reported that Coward and Kent had been seen parading together through the streets of London, dressed and made up as women, and had once been arrested by the police for suspected prostitution".  Other alleged sexual liaisons were with the art historian and Soviet spy Anthony Blunt and Indira Raje, Maharani of Cooch Behar.

The Duke of Kent is rumoured to have been addicted to drugs, especially morphine and cocaine, a rumour which reputedly originated with his friendship with Kiki Preston,
