KING RECEIVES THE NEWS
CRASH WAS ACCIDENTAL
LONDON, Aug. 26. It has been explained that the crash was in no way due to enemy action. His Majesty the King saw the Duke shortly before the fatal flight. Their Majesties received the news of the Duke’s death late to-night, when the news was also broken to the Duchess of Kent, who is away from London. Prince Edward is the Duke’s heir, but it is not certain whether he will become Duke of Kent, Because the King usually bestows royal dukedoms on one person, and they do not descend.
