Didn't he get a post in the carabean in WW2? Also, didn't he try to get "back in" (for lack of a better term) to the royal family, and also didn't he die kind of poor?

didn't he die kind of poor?

Poor? Well, at auction the jewels from the estate brought around $50 million in 1987. If that's poor, that's my kind of poor.......
