 AND COMMENT

Both the prince and princess of Wales are Experiencing considerable troIble and annoyance in connection with their youngest and favorite daughter PTin- cess Charles of Denmark. One of the principal objects which the British hci. apparent had in view when he accom- panied his consort to Copenhagen a few weeks ago, on the occasion of cid King Christians birthday was to obtain from the latter permission for the transfer of his son-in-law, Prince Charles, from the Danish to the English navy, and for the establishment of his permanent home in England. instead of Copenhagen. The reason for this ra- quest on the part of the IF nc, Of Walss was his desire to have his favoritn daughter near him, and further that the climate is injurious to her health, while her surroundings there are so un- congenial that in spite of her devotion to ber husba4d she is very unhappy
 The British heir apparent attained his object. King Gin istian gave the required permission, and everything was considered as settled when. at the last moment, after the prince and prin- cess of Wales had returned to England,
  Charles interfered and put a stop to the project. It is announced that Prince Charles father the crown prince has vetoed the arrangement, has formally and officially forbidden his son Charles to either quit Denmark or to resign his commission in the Danish navy, and has ordered him to assume the com mand of the Danish cruiser Hekla. This action on the part of the crown prince, which constitutes fragrant re- Versal of the consent given by King Christian, and a piece of gross uu- friendliness toward the prince and princess of Wales, would seem to lend color to the stories that the old king is virtually in his dotage, and that the reins of power are altogether in thc hands of his eldest son, who. in any case. is regent during his fathers ab- sence in Germany.
 Prince Christian himself is an easy going individual, but is altogether sub ject to his wife, the tallest princess Of the blood and the largest of bone in all Europe, who has the laugh of a horso, the stride of grenadier and the voice of a drill sergeant. In the early years of her marriage she was subjected to good deal of snubbing by her mother-in- law. the late Queen Louise, and by her sisters-in-law, the now widowed czar- ina and the princess of Wales. Her extraordinary and famboyant taste in dress. her absence of conventionality, her gaucheries, her odd freaks. and. ! above all her extraordinary appearance and manner. were a source of never ending criticism, annoyance and ridi- cule to the old queen, to the czarina, and to the princess of Wales, and shc was relegated to the background.
 It was her French sister-in-law. Prin- cess Waldemar. sister of Prince Henry of Orleans, and daughter of the duke of Chartress. who first instigated her to revolt, and during the closing years of the life of the late queen, the crown princess and Princess Waldemar were in state of almost open revolt against their mother-in-law, doing all sorts of odd things, such as smoking in public etc, with no other object in view than that of annoying the old queen and shocking her very strict notions on tiie subject of court etiquette.
 After the death of the queen. the crown princess, who is the only child of the late king Of Denmark, became the first lady of the land and the feminine ruler of the Danish court.
 This, together with the inheritance of several fortunes, which have converted her into the richest royal princess in the world. have imbued her with de- gree Of assurance and independence which takes the form of riding rough shod over her husband and all tha members of his family, and of render ing herself as disagreeable as she can
