Royal marriage rumors are amusing

July 9, 1928

Dispatches from Sofia "saying that Foreign Minister Briand and Premiere Poincare" were supporting the effort of a French official to arrange a marriage between King Boris of Bulgaria and Princess Francoise, the daughter of the Duke of Guise, has caused much amusement at the Quai d'Orsay today, according to the Associated Press.
Briand is one of the "founders of Socialism in France," and the Duke of Guise is the pretender to the former French throne, "so it would appear that the interests of te two would scarcely be reconciled."
