Will the Prince and Princess of Wales visit America

October 27, 1902

A cable from the United States concerning the possibility that the Prince and Princess of Wales will visit the St Louis Exposition in 1904 has "created much interest" in London.

Official circles are surprised that the topic is even being discussed. At York House, the home of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the response to this story is that no official invitation has been received from the American government. The matter has been referred to King Edward VII, who offered a non-committal reply.
