Prince

George Valdemar Carl Axel of Denmark (16

April 1920, in Bernstorff Palace – 29 September 1986, in Copenhagen) was a Danish prince. He was a second cousin of Prince Philip, Duke of

Edinburgh. Prince George was the eldest son of Prince Axel of Denmark (himself

a son of Prince Valdemar of Denmark) and Princess Margaretha of

Sweden. As a result of the Danish Act of Succession of

1953, which restricts the throne to those descended from Christian X and his

wife, Alexandrine

of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, through approved marriages, he lost his place

in the line of succession. On 16 September 1950, at Glamis

Castle, he married Anne, Viscountess Anson,

the divorced wife of Thomas, Viscount Anson, and daughter of Hon. John Bowes-Lyon and

Hon. Fenella Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis. His wife was a first cousin of Elizabeth II. Prince George himself was a second cousin of Edward VIII, George VI and Prince Philip, Duke of

Edinburgh. He served as defence attaché to London and military, naval and air attaché at Paris.

The marriage was opposed by the Church of England, because, at that time, the church did not

permit the remarriage of a divorced person who had a prior spouse living. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen

Consort of the United Kingdom, later the

Queen Mother, had announced her intention to attend the wedding, but the Archbishop of Canterbury intervened,

ordered the withdrawal of the Scottish Episcopal clergyman, and “advised” the

Queen Mother not to attend. The Queen Mother stated that she would join the

wedding party only for the reception and would remain in an adjoining drawing

room while the ceremony took place.
