Another royal wedding?

November 20, 1930

The AP reports today about the possibility of "another royal marriage in Europe."  The Prince of Asturias, the 23-year-old heir to the Spanish throne,  is about to become engaged to 16-year-old Princess Maria del Esperanza, an "Andalusian beauty."  The wedding is reported "as likely to take place next year."
The princess is the daughter of Prince Carlos of Bourbon-Two Sicilies and his second wife, Princess Laura of Orléans.  Carlos' first wife, Mercedes, who died in childbirth, was the elder sister of King Alfonso XIII.
