Two royal weddings for London's autumn season

September 21, 1923

Two royal weddings will highlight London's Autumn season, according to the New York Times. The Autumn season, which is also known as the "little season," is sandwiched between the "older and more conventional" Summer season and the Winter season, which is largely spent in the sunny Riviera.
The two royal brides are Princess Maud, the younger daughter of the Princess Royal and the late Duke of Fife, and Lady Louise Mountbatten, the younger daughter of Victoria, Marchioness of Milford Haven, and the late Marquess of Milford Haven.

Lady Louise's wedding to Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden will take place at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace on November 3 in the presence of King George V and Queen Mary. The King of Sweden and the Crown Prince will spend several days at Buckingham Palace before the wedding.

This is the second marriage or the Crown Prince. His first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught, died in 1920. Lady Louise will become the stepmother to five children.

Princess Maud, who is the king's niece, is to marry Lord Carnegie, the heir to Earldom of Southesk on November 12. Members of the Royal Family are expected to return earlier to London because there will be "many entertainments" during Maud's wedding week.

A "notable edition" to the London hostess scene is the new Duchess of York, who has been unable to make her debut as a hostess as she was suffering from whooping cough.
