PEDIGREE OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS
The Princess of Wales.

For the following wonderfully ingenious and beau-
tiful sketch of the pedigree of her Royal Highness
the Princess of Wales we are indebted to our
fashionable contemporary the Morning Post. At
any period the outline given below would have been
deeply interesting to the loyal subjects of the

sent moment, when there is every prospect of the
early continuance of this august lineage from the
Emperors Basil and Constantine, through another
generation, according to the welcome announce.
went given elsewhere from the columns of the
Observer. The pedigree, for which we are indebted
to the Morning Post, a pedigree indicating the
descent of her Royal Highness from the old Em-
perors of the East, has been traced by Thomas de
Meschin, LLD., of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-
Law:—
