ROYAL DIVORCE.
PRINCE WILLIAM OF
SWEDEN
Prince William of Sweden, whose divorce was announced in our cable columns recently, is brother of the King ol Sweden. His wife is Princess Marie, daughter of the Grand Duke Paul of Russia, uncle of the Czar. They were married at St. Petersburg on May 3rd, 1908, and there was one child of the marriage— Prince Lennart, born in 1909; Princess Marie was born in IS9O and Prince William in 18S4. The relations of the couple have long been unsatisfactory. The Princess left Stockholm in the middle of last October and went to Paris where she stayed with her father, declaring her intention of not returning to Sweden to continue her conjugal union. All representations made to the Princess with the object of inducing her to reconsider her decision proved abortive. It was reported last November that a divorce was pending, being the outcome, it was alleged, of an espionage case in which a Russian attache was implicated, but a message Irom the Swedish Telegraph Agency published at the time staled that all the more or less fantastic rumors to which the separation had giveu rise were entirely without foundation.
