Prince and Princess Michael of Kent visited exhibition
Prince Michael of Kent and his wife, Marie-Christine on April 30 attended the opening of the exhibition "Der Weg zur Krone – Das Königreich Hannover und seine Herrscher" ("The path to the throne. The Kingdom of Hanover and its rulers") in the castle of Marienburg, to the south of Hannover. The exhibition was also visited by Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, the Hanoverian Princes Ernst August and Christian, and Princess Gloria of Thurn and Taxis.
From
http://ru-royalty.livejournal.com/2097280.htmlWith the Russophone Prince Michael commemorating the 300th anniversary of the British-Hanoverian union it is interesting to note that in 1714 the Electorate of Hanover had a small Slavic-speaking minority, in the Hanoverian Wendland east of Hanover, by the Elbe:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polabische_Sprache (The last Polabian speaker died in 1756. The language was closely related to Kashubian, of Franziska Schanzkowska fame.)
Today only place names testify of this Slavic outpost. E.g. Wustrow, obviously cognate to Russian в остров - on the island.
