LONDON SENSATION
ROYAL WEDDING AT REGISTRY OFFICE. GREATEST SECRECY MAINTAINED. (United Press Assn.— By Telegraph—Copyright.) London, September 19. A remarkable Royal wedding occurred in a London registry office, when Princess Marie Charlotte De Broglie, seventy-four years of age, the widow of Prince Amedee De Broglie, and the wealthy daughter of a sugar millionaire, married Prince Louis Ferdinand D’Orleans Bourbon, aged fortyone, the Infante of Spain, and a cousin of King Alfonso. The greatest secrecy was maintained. The parties arrived in taxicabs.
The French Court 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 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, interviewed, said he had loved the Princess for twenty years. The attachment went back to his boyhood.
