when kings will have to depend upon their persona

King Edward is, of course, related to all tho
princey babies of Europe for his relatives are
either ruling or viii day rule the continent. No
doubt he is consulted often by parents who wish to
obtain the guidance of the most influential man of
his time. Prince Olaf of Norway is his grandson, and
the baby who will be king of Sweden in the years to
come is the son of his niece. Norway and Sweden,
once united and divided, will eventually be gov
erned by very relatives of King Edward VII
Prince Olaf appears to be having jolly time of it,
but he will have to study earnestly soon, although
the comparative smallness of his kingdom will make
his educational less arduous. The elder son OF
Princess Margaret of Connaught is at present the
second direct heir to the throne, and, his grand
father the regning monarch, is in the prime OF life
it must be many years before he is called upon to
wear the crown All the same, the prince will be
carefully prepared and is likely to give good &C.
count of himself in national affairs.
