July 7, 1927
The Associated Press carried a dispatch today regarding reports from Italian court circles that the Duke of Apulia, the younger son of the Duke of Aosta, is about to become engaged to Princess Marie-José of Belgium. Neither the Royal family nor the government "confirmed or denied" the report.
The Duke spent most of June as a guest of the Belgian royal family at Laeken Palace. He "was much in the company," of Princess Marie-José, 21, who is King Albert's only daughter. She is now in Italy on a visit with the Italian royal family.
Last year, the Italian royal family denied reports that Marie-José was going to marry Crown Prince Umberto. There also have been reports of a marriage between the Princess and Crown Prince Olav of Norway.
