Notes on Royalty and Court Affairs from a Far Country
A garbled bulletin reviews royal figures and factions across Europe. It notes Prince Albert’s elder son assisting construction of a pavilion, the Romanian queen’s occasional gold cigarette case, Grand Duke Nicholas slated for transfer, and doctors declaring him incurably insane. It mentions Princess Sophie of Greece’s newborn, Maximilian’s betrothal prospects to Victoria Louisa, and Diuleep Singh seeking restoration of his cross. It also covers Princess Letitia’s widow status, Emperor Francis Joseph praising Prince Alexander, and various political intrigues involving Huron de Wirgeh, plus fashion notes on German Empress and employment concerns.
