The prince and princess of Wales
have three children. The eldest.
Prince Edward. heir TO the throne Of
England. was born June %, 1894. The
second, Prince Albert, was born Dec.
4, 1895. and the third. Princess Vic
toria Alexandra. was born April %,
1897. The prince and princess of
Wales are said to be the most demo-
cratic members of all the members
of the royal house of England, and
accordingly will be great favorites
with the English people.
The princes wedding to Princess
May of Teck was at the command Of
his grandmother, Queen Victoria, and
it took place only after "a vigorous
protest on the part of the young
prince. There was good reason for
this protest, for the prince already
was married. In 1891 he secretly
welded the niece of Nice-Admiral
Tyron of the British navy. The we'd
ding took place in the English church
at Malta. The couple lived together
at Malta, and they had two children.
This marriage was contrary to Gus
tom. as there is law forbidding the
marriage of members of the royal
family with commoners. Before he
welded the princess of Teck the
prince was officially divorced from
the commoner by Die archbishop of
Canterbury and Ld(d Coleridge, the
chief Justice. The young woman was
provided with an ample fortune. 1t
is said she has since married an of
ficer of the British army, on the re-
tired list, and that she is now living
with him in Canada.
