The better known of his partners were black cabaret singer Florence Mills[?], banking heiress Poppy Baring[?], Ethel Margaret Whigham (later Duchess of Argyll), musical star Jessie Matthews and actor Noel Coward. (Love letters from George to Noel were stolen from Coward's house in 1942). He also is said to have been addicted to drugs.

He was killed in a plane crash on active service in World War II at Morven, Caithness, Scotland. His wife had given birth to their third child, Prince Michael of Kent[?], only six weeks earlier.
