Crowned Heads Unite In Madrid Royal Wedding Parade
The Spanish royal wedding in Madrid featured Alfonso XIII and his bride in a grand procession. Carriages, guards, and foreign dignitaries filled the route while crowds cheered under arches and garlands. The ceremony at St Jerome culminated in a brief rite as the king presented thirteen gold coins to the bride. The return to the palace sparked a balcony ovation and a nationwide celebration with banquets, balls, gifts from monarchs, and plans for a summer honeymoon in San Sebastian.
