ROYAL WEDDING
LONDON REGISTBY OFFICE. COUSIN OF KING ALFONSO.. MARRIES ELDERLY PRINCESS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received September 20, 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 19. A remarkable Royal wedding occurred in a London Registry office to-day. The Princess Marie Charlotte De Broglie, aged 74, the widow of Pxince Amedee Do Broglie, and wealthy daughter of a sugar millionaire, was married to Prince Louis Ferdinand D’Orleans Bourbon, aged 41, Infante of Spain, and cousin of King Alfonso. The greatest secrecy was maintained. The parties arrived at the registry office in a taxi. The French Courts had made a vain attempt to prevent the marriage on the grounds that the Princess was incapable of managing her own affairs, and that the disparity in the ages was too great. The Prince has been mixed up in one or two incidents on the Continent and was expelled from France as the outcome of an alleged escapade in the Paris underworld. The Prince said in an interview that he had loved the Princess for twenty years.
