Louise's peace offering fails to placate her sisters

April 19, 1910

Princess Louise of Belgium has finally received her mother's jewels. Queen Marie Henriette's jewels has been held by Louise's creditors. Her debts have been "settled out of the estate" of her late father, King Leopold II.
Louise has offered her mother's "famous diadem" to her sisters, Stephanie and Clementine, if they would "resume friendly relations." Both have refused, unless she ends her relationship with Count Geza Mattachich, according to the New York Times.
