YOUR WEDDING DAY
ny MARY MARSHALL.
April 27-Leopold, Duke of Albany.
tCom1rbt lsN

Copyright IsBl
delicate little prince with a long
name was married in St Georges
chapel, Windsor. England, thirty-four
years ago today. This was Leopold
George Duncan Albert, duke of AL
bany, the fourth and youngest son Of
Queen Victoria and the brother OF
King Edward VII From his infancy
the duke had been extremely delicate
One almost wonders why he was bur
dened with so many names Leopold
he was called after that dissolute old
king Of Belgium, mis- greatuncle:
George was the king of Hanover. spon-
sor at the dukes baptism; Duncan was
given as a tactful compliment to the
Scotch, and he was called Albert after
his father.
Somehow in spite Of every ones pre-
dictions the prince survived boyhood,
went to oxford to study as much or as
little as he Chose-the usual privilege
of royal youths-and then spent his
time in princely travelling. He toured
this country and Canada in 1850. and
two years later, when he was twenty
nine, he went to Frankfort for his
health. and there he fell in love, quite
as man who was not a prince would
have done. with a charming little Ger
man princess named Helen Frederick
Augusta. Within a year, they were
married, mid great pomp and splendor,
at the royal chapel IN Queen Victoria's s
favorite residence, Windsor Castle.
Thereupon the delicate little prince
allowance was raised to $4,000 pounds
or something like $125,oO0 a year-a
sum meekly and apparently even will
ingly paid out of the national Golfers
of Parliament. The happy couple re-
sided in a beautiful residence Of their
own called Cylaremont, and had two
children, Alice Mary and Charles Ed
ward. At the time of the marriage
the wedding was spoken OF in q lead
ing English magazine 'as grand as
the resources of an ancient and opu-
lent throne could contrive, and the
match was generally considered to be
"a marriage OF affection" or course
1t was one of the many bonds that
united the English and the German
royal families. and the English papers
and magazines at the time were full
of the most glowing tributes to their
dear cousins, the Germans. from whom
they had derived so many Of their
noblest ideals" Alas. of how little last
ing benefit all these Anglo-Germanic
alliances proved to be!
In spite Of his physical delicacy,
Leopold was always a favorite and, II
was said by the Spectator that he
proved that one might 'be the head Of
society and yet not addicted to racing
horses, hunting animals and killing
small birds" And again, that with his
marriage to Princess Helen came tran
quality and contentment and deep sat
isfaction of heart" But Leopold had
only two years of married happiness
to spend, and after a fit Of epilepsy he
died, in 1sS4-the first OF the sons OF
Queen Victoria to join his princely for
