November 26, 1906
There is neither a confirmation nor a denial of the report concerning the possible marriage between Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia and Duchess Anastasia of Leuchtenberg. The confirmation nor denial is the "customary reticence in matters affecting the imperial house."
The marriage is said to have taken place yesterday, and is "the absorbing topic of discussions in court circles."
The Grand Duke, who is 50, has not been married before. Anastasia, who was born a princess of Montenegro, was recently divorced from Duke George of Leuchtenberg, although the court has not made an official announcement. Their separation was "a matter of common knowledge," and Duke George is now said to be living abroad and has contracted a morganatic marriage.
Only a few months ago, many assumed that Grand Duke Nicholas would marry Grand Duchess Elisabeth, the widow of Grand Duke Serge.
