LONDON, June 22.-The Prince of
Wales will attain his legal majority to-
morrow and, although the day will not
be marked by any general celebrate
of an official or popular chacarter, it
will mean a great change in the life of
the young prince and heir to the Brit
ish throne. Tomorrow the provisional
regency of the Queen, created in the
event of the prolonged absence of or
dire misfortune to the King, termi-
rates, for henceforth in any such even
tuality the Prince of Wales, being of
sge would be legally able to take the
Kings place, either as regent or as
heir to the throne.
Heretofore the Prince of Wales, al
Though the Oldest son and prospective
heir to the throne, has enjoyed few
privileges beyond those which natural
Ily fell to the lot of the royal children.
1t is true, the superiority of his age
and position gave him some advantage
ever his brothers and sisters, but like
the latter he was under the strict con-
itrol and supervision of his parents,
supervision not merely nominal, but
iactual and extending over his family
Dfe, his studies, recreations and asso-
cations. All this will in a measure be
changed from now on.
viii Still Be Bossed.
In view of the domestic training and
the strict family discipline to which
the young prince has been subjected
all his life, it is safe to assume that
the King and the Queen will for some
time continue their parental control of
the young princes occupations, pur
suits and studies, but he will have his
own household, including a governor
ana comptroller of the household, an
euuerry and two secretaries a large
retinue Of servants, coachmen and
lgrooms For his use special separate
suites. have been prepared under the
supervision of Queen Mary at Buck
lineham and Windsor palaces and later
on adequate establishments will prob
ably be arranged for the young prince
at York House and Frogmore House
The Prince of Wales suite at Windsor
consists of a dining room, breakfast
y room, two reception rooms and bed
IS1d dressing room, as well as apart
mems for the members of the princes
tNture household. Similar provisions
AVE been made at Buckingham Pal
zee. The young prince will be we'll able
- maintain an establishment of his
own, as his revenues as Duke of Corn
wall, which, with his majority, come
about 100000 year
There is no doubt that the Prince Of
Wales will not sever himself abruptly
from the happy family life to which he
has been accustomed and that he will,
IN large measure continue to live
with his parents, his brothers and sis
tiers, but he will be in the position of
socially entertaining on his own ac-
count in his own apartments. In the
future he will receive his invitations
aiTect, not through the King.-aa~4sss-~-~.-
The Prince of Wales who returned
from Paris with his tutor, Mr.. H. P.
iHansell, the other day, to spend his
eighteenth birthday with his family
will not remain in England long en-
ough to fulfil any social engagements
beyond attending few functions ar
ranged in his honor by certain ladies
Of the court, such as the Duchess of
Devonshire, the Countess of Shaftes-
bury and the Duchess of Teck. Ac-
companied by his tutor the Prince of
Wales, the first week in August. He
will then go to Scotland and remain
there until October, when he will enter
Magdalena College, Oxford 1t is quite
probable that during his brief stay in
Paris the Prince will be entertained
by the Marquis de Breteuil, the Amer
1can wife of the head of one of the
most exclusive families in France. The
Marquise, who was Miss Garner of
New York, is woman of great tact
