The London correspondent Of the st
Louis Globe Democrat writes a follows
concerning the latest scandal in royal
circles:
| It 10 difficult to describe the sensation
which has been caused here by the sudden
departure from Eogland of the Princess
Of Wsles, leaving her husband helpless
invalid with broken kneccap on board
his yacht, the Osborne.
With view Of silencing the comment .
statement has been published here to the
effect that the departure Of the Princess il
due to the serious illness Of her mother. the
Queen of Denmark. But the dispatches
from Copenhagen published in the news
papers here to night intimate that the
Queen Of Denmark is in perfect health,
and has been out twice driving to-day.
Under the circumstances it 10 not uu-
natural that the public should connect
the departure OF the Princess with the
presence at Cowes of Lady Warwick, who
t,as not been in the, Isle Of Wight during
the annual regatta week for many years.
The Prince, ~ every one knows, is an
exceedingly difficult patient to manage.
He Is the most easily l.ored of men, and
breads nothing more than ennui. His in.
ability to get about under the circum-
stances has developed, according 10 those
around him an irritAbility, an impatience
and disregard for others, which is for
eixn TO his character VIXEN well. and it
resembles the nature displayed by his
grand uncle, King George W., during
the last ten years Of his life.
The Prince, learning Of the presence Of
Lady Warwick at C0wes, has naturally
insisted on her visiting him on board his
yacht to relieve his eunui, and the Prin.
cess, who abominates the Countess more
than any woman in christendom, and
who displays her aversion for the lovely
peeress in > most pointed manner, has
naturally objected to her presence on
board, and sooner than tolerate it has pre-.
forsed to expose herself to the reproach
Of leaving helpless nd.invalid husband.
