Grand Duke Alexis to marry

December 4, 1888

It was announced today that the Grand Duke Alexis will marry the daughter of the Count of Paris, according a report out of London.

The article does not mention the name of the Count's daughter, but one assumes that the princess in question is Princess Helene, who is 17-years-old. The Count's eldest daughter, Amelie, is already married, and is the wife of the Crown Prince of Portugal. The Count has two other daughters, Isabelle, and Louise, who are ten and six, respectively.
