Luxembourg's Grand Duchess to leave

January 6, 1919

Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide of Luxembourg has decided "leave Luxembourg owing to the political situation there," reliable sources have told the Associated Press.  The situation has "become unfavorable to the Grand Duchess."
Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide, 24, succeeded her father, Grand Duke Guillaume in June 1912.  Luxembourg was occupied by Germany during the war.  Last November, the Grand Duchess welcomed American troops, and on November 26, she "appealed to President Wilson for protection."  During that month "it was reported her abdication" would be demanded by Luxembourg's Parliament and the people.   Luxembourg's political situation has been "unsettled for several years."

Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide is unmarried.  Her heir is her sister Princess Charlotte.
