Elkins Match Secret Disclosed In 1906 Correspondence
Public release of the 1906 Foreign Relations volume reveals that on July 14 1906 Assistant Secretary Bacon asked the Italian ambassador about an American girl set to wed an Italian noble. State Department officials deny any link to the Duke of Abruzzi and Katherine Elkins. Senator Elkins allegedly sought Rome guidance on his daughter’s status if she married into royalty, noting morganatic risk unless parliament granted full recognition. The inquiry reportedly came from a personal Rome contact, not at the senator’s direct request.
