Nothing could have been less bridal than thd
aspect of the Princely couple and their few friends
and witnesses The latter were, for the Prince

There was an interval of day between the civil
marriage and the religious one which came OH
at the Nunciature. The first religious marriage
of the Princess with the Due de

of tho Sorbonne 1t built by the great
Cardinal dc Richelieu, and serves as his nausea

his first wife, Lady Mary Hamilton, she wishing
to marry Count Festetcs, Chamberlain TO tho
| Emperor of Austria. Her ground for claiming q
divorce of the Holy See was that she had never
in the bottom of her heart consented 10 be the
wife of the Prince, but acted under the moral
compulsion of her mother and the Emperor ana
Empress of the French. Lady Marys religlou@
wedding took place in the private chapel OF the
Palace at Saint Cloud, in the presence OF the
Emperor and Empress and their court ne9
son, who, though the marriage was ponounceq

to the Principally OF Monaco.
