Crown Princess Now an Archduchess.

a
Although the former c0nsort Of the
Saxon heir apparent has through the
divorce pronounced by the Saxon courts
ceased to be crown princess Of sazony
and there is 10 longer any danger Of
her becoming queen of SaEony on the
death Of King George, yet for the pres
ear she still retains her rank and status
as q princess OF the dethroned house Of
Lorraiuc-Tuscany. and as an arch
duchess and imperial princess Of Aus
tria-EuEEary.
There seems 10 be an impression that
she renowned these titles at the time
Of her marriage to the Saxon crown
prince. But this is not the case. The
act OF remuneration which every Au-
strlau archduehess makes on marrying
IS merely taat of her rights OF prece-
dcnce and to the Austro- Hungarian
throne. Thus, for instance. the younger
daughter Of she Emperor, by her act OF
Remuneration on marriage, lost her pre-

There is the case OF another royal
princess who voluntarily and without
