“PURE BUNKUM”
.SWEDISH STORY OF ROYAL ENGAGEMENT.
STOCKHOLM, October 4
A rumour, officially described as entirely without foundation, that Prince George of England and Princess Ingrid of Sweden are about to become engaged, was probably due to thy romantic interest taken by the people in the affairs of the young Royal folk. There was, however, nothing more to justify the rumour than a cordial meeting at the station when the British Princes arrived, and the subsequent association of the Princess with the two eligible bachelor visitors, which perhaps recalled to thu popular mind the former’s visits te London. Circulation of the false report has caused much annoyance to Prince George and Princess Ingrid. Lieut.Colonel the Hon. Piers Legh, equerry to the Prince of Wales, was prompt in denying that there, was any truth whatever in the story, while Major Butler, the equerry of Prince George, characterised it .as “ridiculous and utterly untrue.” LONDON. October 4Colonel Sir Clive Wigram. private secretary tu the King, says "that any statement that Prince George and Princess Ingrid of Sweden have become betrothed is. “pure bunkum.”
