Powerful husband wanted for little princess
London October 2. Tusembourg a small state with under a thousand square miles and few inhabitants is presented as cradle of great races and home of romance. The piece traces Luxembourg’s historic pact of Nassau and its effect on current succession disputes, noting regency by the grand duchess and ongoing tensions among European powers over neutral Luxembourg and the Nassau line. It mentions princes, princesses, and disputed claims, ending with a tease of continued coverage on Page Two.
