| Notes: | It is reputed that the couple were married four times owing to fact that the Prince did not seek the required royal permission before their marriage in Rome. They were subsequently married in Naples, Gretna Green and London. Objections to their marriage by the Prince's family evidently presented monetary difficulties, referred to in this collection of materials. Physical description: 21 items, 6 folders. more |
