PRINCE OF WALES
WHY HE IS SINGLE,
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, Sept. 26. The oft-asked question why the Prince of Wales never marries, is frankly answered in the now Prince of Wales biography, published to-day. The authors are the brothers, Messrs W. and L. Townsend, who had the assistance of the Prince’s private secretary, Sir Godfrey Thomas, who read jhe manuscript, which he passed with only a few minor cuts, and who also supplied a great deal of extra material, which was incorporated into the finished book. The following passage strikingly reveals why the Prince of Wales is still a bachelor; “It is not easy to define His Royal Highness’s outlook on marriage. It is certain that he regards the sanctity of marriage so seriously that he won’t bo thrust into a marriage of convenience, retaining the best so-called, old-fashioned beliefs in his creed of modernity. The Prince is a firm disciple in the belief that it is useless to marry without love. Because ho has not yet experienced love in its true intensity, the Prince docs not get married. That is all there is to it.”
