September 24, 1925
The newly married Prince and Princess Philipp of Hesse have slipped out of Racconigi Castle, and are spending a part of their honeymoon at Bordighera on the Italian Riviera, where they met and fell in love. It is understood that the couple "slipped out in a closed car." No one else was with them.
The Princess is the former Princess Mafalda of Savoy, second daughter of King Vittorio Emanuele and Queen Elena of Italy. She was married yesterday to Hereditary Prince Philipp of Hesse, a Lutheran, who is eldest son of the Landgrave and Landgravine of Hesse. Philipp is a nephew of the former Kaiser Wilhelm II, and, a great-grandson of Queen Victoria.
Philipp and Mafalda are expected to also visit Germany before moving into Villa Savoia, which Philipp designed himself.
