GERMAN PRINCESS’ MARRIAGE
A QUIET CEREMONY.
AT BONN TOWN HALL
(Received 21, 9.45 a.m.) Berlin, Noy, 20.
The ceremony of Princess Victoria s marriage was very quiet. The pair and the witnesses drove to the Bonn Town Hall in an unostentatious private car. Even the Princess's household was unaware of the wedding and no relatives were present. The Princess was dressed in grey with a rope of pearls ana carried no flowers.
The news spread quickly and nearly 1000 gathered outside the Town Hall.
There will be a religious ceremony on Monday according to the Greek Catholic rites. The venue is unknown. It is believed the couple will leave after it on a lengthy tour in the hope of fmgetting the annoyances and insults, which have taken every form from the most disgraceful anonymous messages to actual threats. It is stated the Princess will be known in future as Victoria von Zoubkoff. The bridegroom is not a baron but the prefix “von’’ is accepted as the nearest equivalent to the Russian word meaning “nobleman.”—(A. and N.Z.)
An overnight cable stated : Princess Victoria was married to M. Zoubkoff in a registry office at Bonn where the civil ceremony was performed secretly in the presence of' two witnesses.
