There are very persistent rumors current
| in London, having every appearance Of
| truth. to the effect that the relations be
| tween the prince and princess of Wales
have been strained of late to a greater ex
tent than at any period since their mar
| rage Indeed, it is openly asserted. and
| that. too. in the most well informed and
| authoritative circles that the totally un
| expected recent visit Of the king and queer
Of Denmark to London was for the purpose
| of preventing the princess from fulfilling
| her intention of definitely leaving her hus
| band.
1t is believed. too, that Queen Victoria's
Intervention was invoked in order to aver
| any open rupture. and that the hurried
visit of the princess to Balmoral. whittier
she went without either her husband OF
daughters, bore reference to her differences
with the heir apparent.
1t looks as If the king Of Denmark and
the two queens had been to a certain ex-
tent successful since, on the whole appear
ances may be said to have been main
tanned; but those who have had the oppor,
tunity of observing closely have expressed
themselves as startled by the lack OF cor
diality and manifestations OF affection on
the part Of the princess toward her nus
band throughout the recent festivities.
The causes of the dispute are reported to
be two-fold. In the first place. the prin-
cess was VIGOROUSLY opposed to her son
peatedly given public manifestation there
Of. and. in the second place, 1t is alleged
that there is trouble again in connection
AS said the other day. there has been a
conflict about the appointment OF Lazy
Brooke's sister.in-law. Lady Eva Greyilie'
and the princess is asserted to nave resent
ed Lady Brooke's presence at the MARI
borough house garden party.
1t attracted universal notice on that oc-
casion that none Of the royalties spoke To
Lady Brooke, who was accompanied by her
children The prince of Wales ordinarily
talking to any OF his friends save to his
royal relatives as If to diminish a any ~, a hi.
neglect to engage in conversation with her.
Some people claim that. yielding to the
remonstrances Of his wife and relatives. he
has agreed to put a stop to his friendly in
tercourse with the Brookes. / should, how
ever be inclined to doubt this. for II the
prince has one virtue above all others, Il
Is that of sticking to his friends through
thick and thin, and Notwithstanding all
the talk that there has been about him and
BTSe Ta9
tween them have always been Of a purely
platonic character.
Be this as 1t may, Lady Brooke is un-
Wales woman friends toward whom the
princess has ever manifested the slightest
degree Of jealousy and resentment, al.
though there have been many instances In
which the future queen Of England had far
greater reason to object to her husbands
f1irtations than in this case.
The general impression Is that the prin-
cess has had her jealousy aroused by some
ill-natured friend of Lady Brooke's &C
quaintance, who with the view of venting
her venom against the latter, has en-
deavored to arouse the ill-wtll and hatred
<of the princess toward the beautiful mis-
tress Of Easton lodge
/ may add that al these troubles are be-
ing generally discussed, not alone in the up-
permost circles of society in London, but
also in those Of Vienna, Berlin and Paris,
where the princes conduct is judged with
more harshness than justice.
