Twins for princess
(N.Z.p.A.-Reuter) NIJMEGEN (The Netherlands), Oct. 15. The twin boy and girl born to Princess Irene, daughter of Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, are in infant incubators but are doing well, a hospital spokesman said yesterday. The spokesman said the princess had a good night’s sleep and was in good condition but the number of visitors would be restricted because she needed rest. At birth, which was six weeks premature, the baby girl weighed three pounds 13| ounces and the boy four pounds 12 ounces. Princess Irene’s husband, Prince Carlos Hugo, of Bourbon-Parma, the Carlist Pretender to the Spanish Throne, whom she married in 1964, said last night the babies’ names were Marguarite Maria Beatrice and Jaime Bernardo.
