September 30, 1929
The Chicago Tribune reports that there is "great anxiety" in Britain's royal household due to the "sudden, serious illness" of King George V's sister, Princess Louise.
The princess, whose official title is the Princess Royal, suffered a heart attack and gastric hemorrhage at her Highland home in Braemar, Scotland. Dr Russel Wilkinson was summoned from London to attend her.
Princess Louise is also the sister of Queen Maud of Norway and Princess Victoria. Her "sudden illness" follows a "chill incurred a few days ago."
In 1889, Princess Louise married the Duke of Fife, who died in 1912. Louise has two daughters, Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife, who is married to Prince Arthur of Connaught, and Princess Maud, who is the wife of Lord Carnegie.
The "latest bulletin states that she passed a restful night, but her heart attack caused alarm."
