The popularity of the marriage of the
Prince of Wales eldest daughter to a
British subject is plainly evident from the
tone of the newspapers, from the satisfac-
tion with which the announcement of it
has been received, but today above all
from the respect and loyalty of the typi-
cal London crowd that gathered outside
the charmed precincts of the royal chapel
to lend their humble participation in the
grand wedding.
Owing to the limited space of the chapel
at Buckingham Palace, the number of
those who could be present at the mar
riage was limited. 1t included but few

Queen of Denmark, the King of Greece,
the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince
Albert Victor of Wales, Prince George
of Wales, Princesses Alexandra and Maud,
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the
Duke of Cambridge, the. Princess Beatrice
and Prince Henry Of Battenburg, and
Lord Salisbury.
The royal guests arrived at half-past
eleven, and assembled in apartments of
the palace adjoining the chapel. The
groom arrived somewhat earlier and was
eloseted with his best man, Mr.. Henry
Farquhar.
At little before noon the guests were
conducted to the chapel, and, just before

Prince of Wales residence, where the
wedding breakfast was given. Here the

fusion were inspected by the guests
AS the bridal party emerged from the
palace after the wedding, to proceed to
Marlborough House, the immense
crowds were forced to give way, and a
space of 1900 yards was cleared by de-
tachment of the Royal Artillery and
Horse Guards, who were on duty.
The crowd cheered enthusiastically as
the newly married couple drove through,
and the Prince and Princess of Wales re-
ceived the same ovation.
The same guests who were at the cere-
mony partook of the breakfast.
Toasts were drunk to the bride and
groom and to the Queen, and also the
