etiquette forbids any royal parsonage of
lesser degree to propose marriage to a fe-
male sovereign. Accordingly 1t became

queen had to make the announcement of
her wedding to the privy council At one
time there was possibility that the marri-
age would not take place, owing to the de-
sire of the queen that she should not be
married too early. In 1889 Prince Albert
confessed that he came to England with
