Am I correct in thinking that it is only the UK that maintains the conceit that only UK-born princesses are known in the UK as Princess Given Name, and that all other women, including foreign-born princesses such as Marina, become Princess Husband's First Name?
In fact, I suspect that Marina, who was like Philip, a British subject at the time of her marriage, was probably entitled to her Princess-ship in her own right, as, probably was Lady Katherine Brandram and the various other European royals who gave up their royal titles for British citizenship which, as Protestant descendants of the Electress Sophia, they already held.
But there are many posters who know more about this than I, and whose views I would value.
