At a recent court function in Bucharest, Queen Marie laughingly told an Ambassador that she intended to marry Princess Ileana to “ the handsomest and most powerful of princes.’’ Tho attitude of the Prince of Wales toward Princess Ileana does not appear to bo unfavourable. He is reported to have called her a jolly* lit tie kid. and a good sport.” From a Rumanian source it is reported that the Prince told tho Rumanian envoy that ho would consider tho matter carefully and ask his parents’ opinion.
