Prince Eugen of Sweden to marry a Swedish actress
February 16, 1906
The Marquise de Fontenoy's latest column includes a report on Prince Eugen of Sweden's "impending marriage to a Swedish actress and opera singer, Mlle. Graefe. The prince "has long been devoted" to Mlle. Graefe, who lives for most of each year in Paris. The news of the forthcoming marriage will certainly "astonish none of the American friends of this most democratic of the sons of King Oscar of Sweden. The renunciation of his succession rights and the "prerogatives as a Swedish prince of the blood will be regarded by him in the light of a happy release rather than as a sacrifice."
Prince Eugen makes his home in the Tiergarten area of Berlin. He is also seen as one of Sweden's most "cleverest painters."
