Paget Romance Echoes In Royal Ambitions In England
The Paget family story draws England into a possible match between Young Lord Anglesey and Princess Patricia of Connaught. Despite royal and German tensions, and prior royal marriages by Edward VII's sisters, Anglesey's vast wealth and unencumbered Staffordshire estates shape the intrigue. The lineage traces to the dissolute Annesley line and a famed Waterloo era marquis, with the present minor Marquis of Anglesey facing succession hurdles amid domestic notoriety.
