WHO WILL BE THE FUTURE PRINCESS OF WALES ?
Gossip concerning the marriage of the Prince of Wales, now that the heir to the Throne is of age, has it that the future Princess of Wales is the daughter of the Crown Prince of Roumania ; the lady is a Coburger through both her mother and her father’s mother. There would seem to be no other reason tor such an alliance. Religion would be a difficulty. The Princess has been brought up a member of the Orthodox Church, and, though that is not an insuperable barrier to marriage with the heir to the British Throne, she probably would find it easy to conform to the Church of England. The reigning house of Roumania is not wealthy as Royal houses go, the King and his heir, Prince Ferdinand, being only cadets of the princely house of Hohenzollern. An English bride, the Duchess of Pife, has also been suggested for the Prince of Wales. She is certainly a great heiress, but she is first cousin to the Prince, and this would probably, according to the recent practice of the Royal Family, be considered a bar to the marriage, unless there was a particularly strong attachment between the two.
