Marina Mowatt and Family [daughter of Princess Alexandra] News

Out of wedlock pregnancy and a "shotgun" wedding considered a scandal in 1990?
 
I think Princess Alexandra had been a popular member of the BRF when she was younger and was still reasonably well-liked in the 1980s/90s. She and Angus Ogilvy were quite well known still while Marina was going through her rebellious stage.

And no, people weren't really used to shotgun marriages within the parimeters of the broader BRF, even in the 1990s. In fact I don't know anyone in the family except the Harewoods who had had illegitimate children at that stage. I remember the Queen having to give her formal consent to the marriage and her leaving off the 'trusty and well-beloved' bit. The newspapers made quite a big deal of that.

Although Alexandra and her daughter were practically unknown here it was reported in both Swedish and Danish tabloids at the time as part of the ongoing saga of troubled Windsor marriages and other scandals. The tabloids were already sharpening their knives for the carnage that was to come.

Yes she made a big fuss, knocked her parents in the papers, and then ended up in a bad marriage that ended it seems in trouble and divorce....

What is the origin of Zenouska's pretty name?


I believe it is a name that her parents made up, based on the Russian name Anouska. Russian because of the Kents' Russian heritage, I suppose, though I don't really know why they turned it into Zenouska instead of Anouska and how exactly they came up with that.
But I agree that it's a pretty name! :flowers:
 
From my recollection, the name was made up by the parents, who were apparently fans of Brian Eno, hence Zeno.. and I suppose they added a Russian sounding ending because they liked it.
 
Zenouska attended the Mark's Club 50th Anniversary Party on November 24:
