No further obstacles for Lennart's marriage

February 3, 1921

King Gustav V will place "no further obstacles in the way of the marriage of his young grandson, Prince Lennart, and the daughter of an industrialist commoner," according to the Associated Press.
Prince Lennart, who will lose his royal title and his place in the succession, has gone ahead with plans to marry 20-year-old Karin Nissvandt.
It is understood that the "King's objections were held to be based solely upon a desire to preserve the dynasty."
It was also learned today that the 21-year-old prince "will not become a pauper" after his marriage as he will take ownership of Mainau on Lake Constance, which was once owned by his grandmother, Queen Victoria of Sweden.
He will continue his agricultural studies for two years, and then he and his wife will live on the estate, and he will "manage the property as a German country squire."
Prince Lennart has said that he doesn't care what his new title will be.  He does not know if he will be known as Prince Bernadotte or as a Count, or even just Herr Lennart Wilhelmson.   He is more concerned with the health of his future wife, who is suffering from the grip.  
Yesterday, the young couple "exchanged betrothal rings" in the presence of Miss Nissvandt's mother and father.
