78-year-old Prince Michael of Kent was eighth in line to the throne at his time of birth, in Buckinghamshire, on 4 July 1942. As a grandson of King George V and Queen Mary, he is the Queen’s first cousin and, these days, he is 50th in the line of succession.
Aged five he had a starring role as a page boy at the wedding of Prince Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, the late Duke of Edinburgh. Born during the Second World War, seven weeks after his birth, Prince Michael’s father – Prince George, Duke of Kent – was killed in a plane crash near Dunbeath in Scotland. Prince Michael’s mother was Princess Marina, a daughter of Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark and Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia.
This is the moment the Queen s cousin Prince Michael of Kent received an honorary professorship from one of Russian President Vladimir Putin s oldest and most trusted cronies.
Professor Vladimir Litvinenko, who has direct links with Putin , can be seen fawning over the Prince, 78, as he presents him with his honorary professorship for furthering Russian-British relations. Of course, this is a great joy for me, the Prince says after he receives the honorary professorship. It is a very great honour to receive this title… I hope this visit will help strengthen the relationship between the UK and Russia, which is not the easiest right now
