He accompanied Tsar Nicholas II on his trip to Asia as Tsarevich, and saved him from an assassination attempt in Japan, in what became known as the Otsu Scandal. He acted as high commissioner of Crete during its transition towards independence from Ottoman rule and union with Greece.
Prince George was married in 1907 to Princess Marie Bonaparte, daughter of Prince Roland Bonaparte. They had two children - Petros and Evgenia. Peter (1908-1980) was an anthropologist, while their daughter EUGENIE(1910-1988) married Prince Dominic Radziwill (1939), whom she divorced in 1948. Her second husband was Prince Raymundo della Torre e Tasso, Duke of Castel Duino whom she married in 1949 and divorced in 1965. During their marriage Prince George engaged in numerous affairs with other men.

Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, later Victoria Mountbatten, Marchioness of Milford Haven (baptised Victoria Alberta Elisabeth Mathilde Marie; 5 April 1863 – 24 September 1950), was the eldest daughter of Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine (1837–1892) and his first wife Princess Alice of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1843–1878).
Her mother died while her brother and sisters were still young, which placed her in an early position of responsibility over her siblings. She married her father's first cousin, Prince Louis of Battenberg, an officer in the United Kingdom's Royal Navy, in a love match and lived most of her married life in various parts of Europe at her husband's naval posts and visiting her many royal relations.
During World War I she and her husband abandoned their German titles and adopted the British-sounding surname of Mountbatten, and two of her sisters who had married into the Russian royal family were murdered by communist revolutionaries. She was perceived by her family as liberal in outlook, straightforward, practical and bright.
She was the maternal grandmother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who is the consort of Queen Elizabeth II.
