Anybody have any idea who GD George may marry or who his mother GD Marie would like to see him marry?

Dear Tampa Bay,
Let's look at where they live and whom they frequent and that should give you an idea.
1. The Dowager Grand Duchess, The Grand Duchess and the "Poclednik" live in Madrid as a grace-and-favor of Queen Sophia of Spain, a relative of the Imperial Family.
The Prince has been well-introduced into the Spanish Royal Family and the extended Spanish Royal Family as well as the Spanish nobility.
The Grand Duchess and the Poclednik also maintain a very nice apartment in Paris on the Place Vendome (it doesn't get much better than that). However, the Naclednik is NOT very close to any of the Russian emigre community in Paris and from what I understand is not involved with any of the charming young ladies who belong to it.
2. The Grand Duchess's "afranchissement" from her German husband was not a pleasant one, and the Dowager Grand Duchess did not approve at all of her marriage to a German. The Grand Duchess has repeatedly steered the Prince away from any involvement with Germanic types.
3. There are two places where you shoud look like. The Prince is an anglophile (poor Russia, again), who has begun working in London as an investment banker. Because of the Grand Duchess's excellent relations with Buckingham Palace, they have "entree" into the London "A" list. I am giving you a big hint from private information -- look here......
4. The other place is Italy. The Prince is an italophile also and frequently spends much time in Italy. He has known to frequent young charming Italian countess's and others of good family, particularly from the Milan area. A second big hint I am giving you --- look here.
Can you get your hands on the magazine "Vue et Images du Monde"? If you can, your answer will be right in front of your eyes. It's not available online in any way shape or form.
With all the best from Shanghai,
