DUKE WANTED AS KING
NOVEL AFRICAN PROPOSAL LONDON, September 19. A strange suggestion that the Duke of Gloucester (Prince Henry) should be made Governor-General of South Africa, and subsequently king of an independent South Africa, is made by the Pretoria newspaper “Ons Vaderland.” There is, however r according to responsible sources, not the remotest likelihood, certainly within the near future, of any of the King’s sons being appointed Governors-General of the Dominions says a political writer. The thorny subject of governorships is again being discussed, the discussion starting recently with the return on leave of the Earl of Athlone. Governor-General of South Africa, and the Duke of Gloucester’s journey to South Africa with the Prince of Wales, when some people suggested that the Duke was likely to succeed the Earl of Athlone.
