ROYAL MARRIAGE ACT OF ENGLAND.
The union of British royalty with
subjects of the crown has been de-
claTed illegal by law during q hun
dred years just past, unless the royal
parsonage seeking to contract the
union had received the sanction Of the
sovereign. This was stringently laid
down in what is known as the ROYAL
Marriage act az George III, chapter
III, which passed in l772, at the in
stance Of King George III, who was
indignant at the marriage of his
brother, William Henry, Duke of
Gloucester, in 1866, with the widow Of
Earl WaldegraYe, an Legitimate
daughter of Sir Edward WalpOle.
His brother, Henry Frederick, Duke
of Cumberland, in like manner had
offended the King by his marriage, in
lI7l, with Lady Anne Luttrell, daUgh-
ter of the Earl Of CaThamptOn and
widow Of Mr.. Christopher Horton, Of
Cation Hall, Derbyshire.
The late Duke of Sussex braved his
fathers displeasure, and, in defiance
Of that enactment, went through the
ceremony of marriage with the late
Lady Augusta Murray, second daugh-
ter OF John, fourth Earl of DunmOre,
first at Rome in April, 1898, andagain
at st. Georges, Hanover square, after
the publication OF bans, on the 5th
of December following. His Royal
Highne55, having been left a widOwer,
married, secondly, Lady Cecilia, Lee
titia Buggin, a daughter Of Arthur,
second Earl of Arran. afterWard
Duchess of Inverness. In the like
manner George ", while Prince of
Wales, IS said to have contracted q
secret marriage with the celebrated
Mrs. Fitzherbet; but in none of the
above cases was the royal sanction
given to the union. In the previous
century King James II. had married
rs his first wife Lady Anne Hyde,
daughter Of the Lord Chancellor Clar-
endOn, but previously to that time no
member of the royal family of Eng
land, strictly speaking, had contracted
q marriage with a subject since the
reign of Henry VIII.
THE BRIDEGROOM AND BRIDE.
The Marquis of Lorn, the bride
groom, vas born on the 9Th OF August,
in the year 1915.
He is in the tWeuty-siXth year of
his age.
The Marquis personal appearance
was described a few years since by a
spectator in the gallery Of the House
OF Commons in the following words:
"The Marquis of LOrn looked so very
young, and seemed determined to
look so very Old; complexion delicate
and pink; finely cut and feminine
features; a slight red mustache his
only facial adOrnment; genuine Rufus
locks, small ears, hands and feet: a
light, spFingy step; head high in the
air, and a gait which expresses gene
rally a full consciousness of the rights
and titles and belongings of the Duke
dom of Argyil-5uch is the Marquis
of LOrn, as he appeared to me from
the Speakers gallery
The Princess louise, the bride, was
born on the 18th of March, in the year
1913. She viii be twenty-three years
and three days old on the morning of
her marriage.
The Princess is described as a fair
young lady, approaching TO a blonde,
of graceful figure, but inclined to be
fat and heavy as she advances in yerrs.
BBITIsH PRINCEssEs WHO HAVE MAR
RIED SUBJECTS OF THE CROWN.
English ~princesses have been in
stinctively Obedient to family law,
and we do not find an instance of a
daughter of a living crowned head
marrying a subject later than the
reign of Edward III, five centuries
since. Marriages between p~rincesses
and subjects have occurred since, but
at most in five cases, and all under pc
culiar circumstances, as follows:
The Princess Elizabeth, daughter Of
James l., and widow of the King of
Bohemia, is understood to have pri-
vately married Lord Craven, at whose
house, in Drury Dane, she died a few
months after her return from exile
with her nephew, Charles IL; but the
circumstances of the marriage are ex-
tremely obscure, and the Queen was
entirely released from royal control.
The Princess Mary, sister Of Henry
VIII, took the opportunity, much to
the Indignation of her brother, of mar
rviug Charles Brandon, who was sent
f2 fetch her back from France on the
death Of her husband, Louis XII; but
the REGULARITY Of this case is also OBJ
Henry VII. permitted three of the
daughters of Edward ". and sisters
of his own Queen to marry the heads
of the families of Howard, COurtenay
and the now extinct Welles; but Hem
nv VII. never fully recognized the le-
ZaIity of the royal title OF his father
We must go back to Edward
III. to find an instance of an occupant
of the throne bestOwing a daughter
upon a subject.
