We all remember that the Prince de
Joinville was chosen to bring the body of |
the great Napoleon from Saint Helena to |
France. and three years later. in 1S43, the |
Belle-Poule went to cruise in southern |
waters. King Louis Philippe was very |
anxious that the Prince should marry one |
of the sisters of the Emperor, Of Brazil. |
anu lie uTStu MS SUI 10 WISH the court OIL |
Brazil. But Joinville was not very en-
thusiastic and sent word to the King that |
when he bad finished cruising he should |
return to France without visiting Brazil.
The King, Queen and all the royal FAM
lily were much disSpp0inteG; especially The |
Queen was affected, because she dearly |
loved her sailor son, and she felt that a |
marriage with the youngest Brazilian |
Princess would be very happy one. |
While they were all trying to recover from
their DISAPPOINTMENT letter was received |
from the Prince. He was at Rio Janeiro,
had fallen in love with the Princess, in
tended 10 marry her and asked. that his
fathers consent should be sent as soon as
possible. Worried as the royal family had
been before, trey were more than wFrled |
now, for the Prince was behaving contrary |
to all diplomatic usage. How the
Baron Langsd0rf was hurriedly sent to
Brazil, with all power to make the mar
riage as royal s possible. and he was
accompanied by his wife, who was 10 be the |
frst dame d'honneur 10 the Princess.
While Louis Philippe and his family |
were anxiousy waiting for news of the |
Baron de Langsdorl's arrival at Rio |
Janeiro the Beile-Poule majestically en- |
tered the harbor of Brest, and boat
soon brought the Prince ard Princess del
Jonvlle to the shore. The sailors in the |
port were wild with enthusiasm, and as |
they surrounded the royal couple the
Prince said: My children, l bring Won
the sailors wife. Isn't she charming? |
And she loves you ALP
After liberating himself and his bride
from the enthusiastic sailors the Prince |
started for Paris and the Tuileries. His |
family was delighted with him and with
the Princess. and they all laughed heartily
at the romantic marriage.
