He was a brave soldier; joining the Grenadier Guards in June of 1914 he was keen to serve his country in the First World War and wanted to fight on the front lines. But as the heir to the throne, Field Marshall Lord Kitchener would never allow it.

It was believed that the Duke may have had sympathies towards fascist Germany and this was the reason he and his wife were moved to the Bahamas, away from any influence.
