Prince of Wales' engagement is denied

February 18, 1919

Reports in the French media about an engagement between the Prince of Wales and Princess Jolanda of Italy are being denied in London. The French press is "discussing the simultaneous presence" of Queen Elena and her daughter and the Prince of Wales. The newspapers have suggested that the "Queen's visit is to fix a date for the formal engagement of the Princess and Prince." It has also been suggested that the engagement will be announced immediately after the signing of the peace treaty, and that the wedding will take place sometime in the Spring of 1920.
