(WOULD DIE UNMARRH-JD)

All the same it is said that the old Queen was rather dissatisfied when, eighteen years later, another Princess of the Royal House fell in love with a ‘commoner. It was in 1889 that Prin- lcess Louise. now the Princess Royal, ‘ daughter of the Prince _of Wales. ask- |‘ ed Queeen Victoria's permission to

"MacDuff" she would die unmarried. This - as Disraeli had known before her - was the right way to appeal to I Queen Victoria in such a matter. She ‘comforted Princess Louise, gnd said

mildly that she must know a little I more of Lord Fife before she decided.

That further knowledge showed noth-v.‘

ing against his character, and the Queen, consented. at the same time} creating him c. Duke. i This consent is, of course, necessary! » before the marriage of any member of the Royal Family. , at first the Duke of Fife took no‘ precedence, but when King Edward cauagto thnthronnbe 412mm that‘ the Duke should be regarded in fami-' f ly matters as belonging io the Royal‘ .

name for the Royal Family, and a‘ surname so essentially English as that i .of "Windsor". This had never been‘ l done before, and it was done now ‘ , with a definitely democratic intention,‘ ‘ as well as a definite wish to cnst off_ i the last impression of a. small German ‘iseparate clique in the British Royal House. . The thing went further, however. At " the same time King George abolished the rule, tacitly, that male members of the Royal House must only inter- ‘ marry with Royalties. Henceforth - as ‘-

princesses had done already - they, would be allowed f0 select their wives! from families of dukes, marquises and i earls; whether the choice will, in the ' future, be allowed to run still fur-,‘ ther afield. who can say? i

Never has a King upheld the true and real dignity of the throne more than King George; but no King has boelfless afraid to depart from prece- dence when he has felt that it would be for the good of his family and the country. It was obvious that the War had changed the whole question of Royal wiping out many of the families from whom suitable matches might ‘have been "arranged", and setting the question of German alliances out of court, and. in a fer deeper sense. changing tho‘ whole way of regarding such things.‘

It seems doubtful whether. in any, cue. the flmfly of the present King- and Queen, brought up‘ as they were; in so human a fashion, would have ever unscented to the conventional type of Royal Marriage. - well as some of those marriages may have turned out. But the necessity of opposition

Yet for all the lack of re- cognition. it is pleasant to read that amongst the friends and acquaint- ances of the Duke and his morganatic wife. she was so accepted as truly married to him that Royal honors werepald to her, all rising when she Bnlﬁred a room, and the ladies present curtesying low.

[for he and his only daughter had ‘been "pal-s" ever since she ma: a tiny ‘child. Now that companionship must ito e, greet extent end; tho mor% rides in the Row must cease, at any rate as a regular practice. But there ‘was comfort in the thought that he = was entrusting her to a man of whom ,‘ he thoroughly approved. a soldier who ihad proved his gallantry in the War, ‘ - more comfort still in the knowledge , that it was a love match, that his daughter had found the man for whom she could truly care.

consent was given with the ut- most willingness. privately. early in February, and on the 12th of the monthdeclared formally and publicly.

It was entirely a love match, and it is an open secret that the Duke went about his wooing as simply and with as many doubts and fears and ob- stacles in the path as any other young man in love.
