Expertise[edit]

I think he was actually one of the world's leading authorities on the subject of polyandry at the time; it should probably say something about that in the article... AnonMoos (talk) 21:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion[edit]

I have translated most of the article's content from fr:Pierre de Grèce, a featured article on French Wikipedia. fr:Pierre de Grèce appears to have been mostly edited by fr:Utilisateur:Konstantinos. Surtsicna (talk) 21:14, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Work with American Intelligence[edit]

Prinve Peter is alleged to have worked with the CIA. He is also attested to have met with the survivor of a disasterous CIA operation in Tibet.

Thanks for the info! Yes, Laird does say that Peter worked for the Office of Strategic Services during the Second World War, but I was not able to find anything about Peter witnessing a disastrous CIA operation in Tibet. Do you think that we should incorporate the OSS information into the article and if so, how should we do it? Surtsicna (talk) 12:08, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've added him to Category:People of the Office of Strategic Services. Surtsicna (talk) 12:09, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Given that it is the the Duke of Edinburghs cousin, yes. People should know the claim. The subject of the Book was part of a disasterous CIA operation called the McKiernan Party, the purpose was to verify claims of Atomic Testing in Russia with scientific instruments and Tibet was as close as they could get and Prince Peter was amoung the first to talk to (debrief) him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.68.194.178 (talk) 13:07, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please specify where exactly I can find that piece of information? The text you linked to is rather long. I find it hard to believe that Peter would have a pro-Axis stance, given that he fought for the Allies; all this indicates otherwise. As for King George VI's description of Ovtchinnikova, one should bear in mind that the King's brother created a constitutional crisis before abdicating to marry a woman whose background bore an uncanny resemblance to that of Ovtchinnikova. Therefore, I would be hardly surprised to learn that George VI disliked Peter's wife or even Peter himself. Surtsicna (talk) 12:33, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant information is in Subsection 8 Paragraph 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.68.194.178 (talk) 13:12, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your document deals with king George II of Greece (who hated Irene) and not king George VI. 31.39.53.205 (talk) 16:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The archive has more detail now and makes more sense. It does not paint a flattering picture of the families relations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.68.69.205 (talk) 14:53, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
