Grand Duchess Charlotte off to Montreal

February 16, 1941

Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg will travel today to Montreal, Canada, where her provisional government is in exile. She and her family have spent the last two days in Chicago, where they met 25,000 Chicagoans of "Luxembourg extraction."
The Grand Duchess, who is accompanied by her husband, Prince Felix, and their elder son, Crown Prince Jean, attended a high mass at St. Benedict's cathedral in Chicago.
The Grand Ducal family went into exile last May after the German army invaded the tiny grand duchy.
