She was also a great-granddaughter of George III of Great Britain. In 1891 Mary became engaged to Albert Victor, duke of Clarence (elder son of the Prince of Wales, afterward King Edward VII), but he died a few weeks before the marriage was to have taken place. Later, she was engaged to and, on July 6, 1893, married the Duke's younger brother, George, duke of York, prince of Wales from 1901 and king from 1910.
