Princess Marie locked up?

May 20, 1895


The Los Angeles reports on a story that originally appeared in the Herald -- and based on reports from Denmark -- that Princess Valdemar of Denmark, "whose eccentricities have long harrassed her husband," is now in a private asylum near Vienna. The Princess' father, the Duke of Chartres, who is currently visiting the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland at their home in Gmunden, Austria, says that his daughter's health is good. Private reports, however, report that the former Princess Marie of Orleans is "suffering from nervous attacks, which are pronounced incurable."
