LOVE AFFAIRS OF
PRINCE OF WALES
Has Already Lost His Heart
Twice
IS NOT YET NINETEEN
First Object of His Affections Old
Enough to Be His Mother—Much
Amusement Caused at Court
by His Love Affair
London, February 15.—(Special.*—Al
though he is not yet 19 years old. the
Prince of Wales has already lost his
heart to two -women. One is old enough
to be the future king's mother, and,
moreover, is already married, while the
other Is so far below him In social status
that there ran be no question of a
match. Ill the first case the prince's fam
ily have ridiculed all the romance out of
the attachment; In (lie second King
George and the prince's tutor have rushed
him away from the young girl who has
charmed him, while a famous church
man has been Instructed to lecture the
royal heir on his duty lo the state.
Prince Bdward's first affair of the heart
Is still the subject of some jesting among
his older relatives, much to his annoy
ance. Bast year Queen Alexandra went
Into residence at Marlborough house for
a longer period than is usual for her
majesty to remain In town. She stayed
at Marlborough house for over three con
secutive months, that is. from the end of
February until the middle of June.,
It is customary for the royal children,
when they are at Buckingham palace at
the same time as their grandmother is
in residence at Marlborough house to pay
her regular visits; but it became notice
able that the Prince of Wales went to
Marlborough house almost every day,
and that his royal highness usually elect
ed to go by himself.
Now Queen Alexandra is very fond or
her grandchildren and they of her, hut
her majesty knows the world, and her
knowledge told her that the frequent
visits of her grandson were prompted by
some reason other than a special desire
for her company. For a little while Queen
Alexandra was puzzled to know what this
reason could be. She discussed the prob
lem with Miss Knollys. her private sec
retary, but neither of them could arrive
at a satisfactory answer. Then one aft
ernoon both ladles made a discovery
which greatly diverted them—a photo
graph of Lady Dalkeith was found to be
missing from Queen Alexandras writing
table in her private boudoir.
Miss Knollys declared that she had seen
tlie prince with it In ids hand, and then
tile Queen and lie;’ old frfelid looked at
each oilier in amazed silence for some
seconds.
“Why. it must be *Lizz' that Edward
comes to sec—poor, dear boy. 1 never
would havq guessed it," suddenly ex
claimed her majesty. l>ady Dalkeith is
old enough to be the Prince of Wales’s
mother, but she is still one of the most
beautiful women in England, and it was
by no means remarkable that a young
boy of IT should fall in love with her.
Lady Dalkeith is married to the eldest
son of the Duke of Buecleuch and the
late duchess was Queen Alexandra's mis
tress of the robes. The Buecleuch fam
ily are old and intimate friends of the
English royal family, and Lady Dalkeith
was an almost dally visitor to Marlbo
rough house in the early part of last
year-. Of course Queen Alexandra told
iier friend of the discover}' she had made
and brought blushes Into ffie face of the
beautiful woman, and soon the Prince of
Wales's secret was a matter of com
mon knowledge to every one at court.
The poor young prince was subjected to
much chaff over liis boyish romance, u
escape from which he made a sudden
flash to Balmoral, the royal Scottish res
idence. accompanied only by an equerry
and a valet, w here a month s fishing and
climbing sufficed no doubt partially to
cure him of his love; but bis valet knows
that for several months his royal highness
kept the stolen photograph on the man
tleplece of his bedroom.
The second romance of the prince came
about when he was hunting at Oxford.
Returning from the hunt late one after
noon lie went with three friends to tea
at the house of a Buckinghamshire
squire, the father of two extremely pret
ty gills, tlie eldest of whom, Sevis An
struther, is just a year the senior of the
Prince of Wales.
The result of the visit to the squire s,
house was that the prince found excuses
for going there again on several occa
sions and in a letter to young Lord Wen
do ver. the eldest son of Lord Carrington
(who is In the royal household), and the
c losest “chum'* the prince has. told him
that he was “frightfully in love" with
one of the most beautiful girls he had
ever seen.
Young Lord Wendover. in an indiscreet
moment, mentioned this fact to Ids father,
and then the fat was In the lire. Lord
Carrington at once told King George,
I who promptly sent a long telegram to
TIansell, the prince’s tutor, asking him
j for an explanation of the whole affair.
Now Hansell is charged with the -duty
of keeping the strictest watch over the
| prince, and is supposed to guard special
ty against any such happening taking
[place as tjie King’s telegram indicated
had actually happened. In plain words
the Prince of Wales had contrived not
only to find “a girl." but to fall in love
with her. without bis tutor’s knowledge.
Hansell is an old Oxonian, and he hus
many friends at his old university, whose
company he perhaps finds rather a re
lief after 12 years spent under the royal
roof as private tutor to King George's
sons in genetal, and the Prince of Wales
in particular, und he let the prince have
more freedom than was perhaps wise.
Hansell, no doubt, was horribly shocked
i to get the King’s telegram, but he did
what was the best thing to do under the
circumstances—he went straight to his
royal charge, and asked him to tell him
all about the affair, and the prince, who
likes his tutor, did so.
“1 must tell the king everything." said
Hansell, and the prince said: “All right.
I suppose there will be a row, but T hope
you won't get into trouble." and the
story that Hansell had to-tell King George
was a very simple and harmless one.
The prince had met a young lady at
her father's home in a perfectly regular
manner, and had become friendly with
! her. He had been at the house six times
[ and the prince had confessed that he
had once got as far as telling the young
lady that he wished he was not a prince.
A c ouple of days after Hansell had sent
In his report the prince and his tutor
were “ordered" to come to Sandringham
and remain there for a week.
(’anon Dalton, the rugged and now
rather aged cleric, who has been one of
the royal chaplains for the past years
and who is the friend and counsellor
whom King George and Queen Mary call
in In all family difficulties, “took the
prince in charge” for the wfeek, lectured
him to death on the subject of the
prince's duties to his parents and the na
tion and dwelt long on the heinousness
of such an ofTense as ‘ flirting" when In
dulged in by a prince with any young
lady not of royal degree. Then the prince
was sent back to Oxford, duly forgiven.
His royal highness, however, has duti
fully promised to sin no more.
