Before the death of the bridegroom’s grandmother, arrangements had been made for a brilliant wedding in London. It was expected that the King would be represented, and that the Prince of Wales would be present, as he is a close friend of Lord Dumfries. Lady Eileen’s father is Master of the Horse, and his daughter would have driven to the Cathedral in a Royal carriage.
