Talk:Prince George of Greece and Denmark

The Salonika front
While the success of the Entente powers on the Salonika front was limited, it is odd to see it described as “disastrous”. Was the cited author perhaps thinking of the Dardanelles Campaign, an unquestionable disaster for the Entente? --Clifford Mill (talk) 17:49, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

This needs an explanation
Why was a Danish royal appointed to a position of power in the government of a Mediterranean island? I don't see any connection in the article. Grandma Roses (talk) 21:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
 * He was the son of the Greek king, but had also lived with his uncle in Denmark - an uncle who was also the brother of Queen Alexandra of Great Britain, "the Rose of Denmark" (we still have local pubs named for her). So when the Great Powers annexed Crete (see Cretan State) here was a young prince who was acceptable to both the local Greeks, but also the Northern European powers behind this.

Homosexuality
@User:MisterWizzy: It would be interesting to find out whether Roudinesco and O'Grady (the only two sources mentioned, inserted by you, and which I unfortunately cannot verify − the book is not accessible to me, the Telegraph article is hidden behind a pay barrier) refer to Marie or other credible witnesses, or whether they just cited warmed-up court gossip, which may or may not be anchored in reality. The literal statement to his wife Marie quoted in the section about his youth (citing Celia Bertin as source) is by no means unambiguous in this regard, it even seems rather harmless: "From that day, from that moment on, I loved him and I have never had any other friend but him. ..You will love him too when you meet him." There are other less reliable online sources rumoring this,, , but they are unsourced. After all, he only lived with his uncle Prince Valdemar of Denmark in Copenhagen for five years in his youth, during his naval officer training at the Danish Naval Academy, but then with his wife (including bringing up two children) between Paris and Greece for almost fifty years. (George and Marie married in 1907, Valdemar died in 1939.) This statement: Although a homosexual,[cit] who lived most of the year with his uncle Prince Valdemar of Denmark with whom he had a life-long relationship... seems to me to go a little far, it is also not supported by the other biographical information in the article, especially his places of residence mentioned there and in other sources. Of course, if his psychologist wife explicitly wrote this down or told reliable witnesses, that should also be mentioned. -- Equord (talk) 20:54, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
