Thrifty Dutch Talks Over Royal Title and Salary

Curtis Brown notes in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly that Dutch legislators sought strict naturalization for the Prince Consort and limited pensions. The Duke finally became a citizen with conditions allowing a German return if the Queen dies or they separate.
