Greek king divorce upsets some

July 8, 1935

Greek monarchists are worried about how the news of former Queen Elizabeth's divorce will "influence the peasantry, the backbone of the restoration movement."
The New York Times reports that monarchists are trying to explain "that the royal couple's disagreement is long standing." King George is said to be "overjoyed with his release." They also say that the king will soon announce his engagement to a French princess. There are rumors that "the marriage contract has already been signed."
