Princess Irene Marries Bourdon Parma Prince in Vatican Ceremony
In Rome, Princess Irene of the Netherlands wed Prince Carlos Hugo of Bourbon Parma in a Catholic rite at St. Mary Major. Irene, who broke with her family and Protestant faith, appeared pale and near fainting as she walked down the aisle and cried openly during the vows. The ceremony, witnessed by thousands, was conducted by Cardinal Ciobbe and followed by plans for a brief audience with Pope Paul VI. Her marriage, conducted without her parents’ consent, ends her claim to the Dutch throne.
