Princess Marina had a triumphant progress fgom Folkestone to London. Thousands cheered her on disembarking from the Channel steamer and shouted “Welcome, our Princess,” men and women waving their hats 'and handkerchiefs.

Princess Marina described the reception as “ really too marvellous.” Prince George welcomed the Princess with an affectionate kiss as she descended from the train at Victoria Station. Thousands, mostly women, waited hours to see Princess Marina. The pair drove to York House, crowds strewing flowers on the way. In response to vociferous cheering, the couple appeared at a window. Prince George blushed like a schoolboy, but Princess Marina was more at ease. She caught the crowd’d enthusiasm and waved both hands vigorously. Equally large and enthusiasts crowds gathered at King’s Gross, from which station Prince George, Princess Marina., and her parents departed for Balmoral. Princess Marina opened the window of the carriage, cried “ thank you,” and waved to the crowd until the train was out of sight.
