She makes these journeys "in her motor car, piloted by the Prince, her husband." She attended the Chopin Festival in Warsaw and returned to Paris in time to be present at the Abbé Perosi's first appearance in this city.
The Princess was "entirely educated in Paris at the Convent of the Sacré Coeur, now closed." She speaks French as "fluently and gracefully as any Parisienne." The Princess is "tall and elegant and has a magnificent complexion."
The Prince and Princess spent part of each year visiting their royal relatives. Prince Karl is the third son of the late Prince of Isenburg-Birstein and Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria, Princess of Tuscany. They live in one wing of the family's caste on the Rhine. The princess is "an excellent shot and a keen horsewoman."
