DUKE’S FUTURE WIFE

QUESTION OF TITLE Possible Cabinet Decision , London, May 20. The Court has not yet indicated whether Mrs Warfield will have a ' title after her marriage to the Duke of Windsor. Nevertheless, many ot her London friends expect that she will be styled, “Her Royal Highness, the Dutchess of Windsor.” The Cabinet may be asked to decide whether she will be allowed to adopt the title of Her Royal Highness. Many members of Cabinet are said to be opposed to giving her the right to such a title. Some of the Duke of Windsor’s friends, a news agency states, are, recommending him not to insist upon a decision until time has healed irritations surviving from the days of the abdication. “Pending a ruling from the Court Circular, of the College of Heralds, we will merely describe her as ‘the wife of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor,’ ” said the publishers of Debrett’s Peerage. Publishers of Burke’s Peerage said they would be guided solely by the Court’s description. The College of Heralds states that the question has not yet come within

its province. “The lady can apply for registration of her own separate Arms,” said an official, “otherwise sW assumes the Arms and titles of her husband.”
