July 7, 1930
Is King Boris III about to announce his engagement to the "beautiful Princess Francoise of France?" According to the Associated Press, the King, "whose engagement to Princess Giovanna of Italy was officially denied a few months ago," is now being linked to the 25-year-old daughter of the Duke of Guise, pretender to the French throne.
Apparently a "prominent member of the French chamber came to Bulgaria recently, ostensibly to inspect the earthquake regions," but was actually in the country to "sound out the King" on the possibility of "marrying the second daughter of the 'King of France.'"
The French deputy "has impressed on the King that he has the full authority from the Duke of Guise to offer Princess Francoise in marriage." He has stressed the desirability of a marriage, which French officials believe would offer "full benevolence of France toward Bulgaria."
