Of which royalty can only mate with
royalty. and scions OF sovereign dynas-

out that there is nothing in English

Prince or Princess OF the blood from

upon them by law are that they should
not wed Roman Catholics and that
they should receive the approval of

Princes or Princesses with German

Perhaps the best example Of Mr..
