Former King Manoel of Portugal and his wife, Augusta Victoria, are said to be on the verge of separation, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The rumors about the state of their marriage have been revived following the reports that Augusta Victoria is being treated by doctors for the "same ailment which caused her to become a patient at Munich hospital last fall."
For the past few months, the couple have been living in Twickenham, and "back stair gossip" is "spreading the idea" that there is little harmony in their home. Until the recent reports, many supposed that the couple had patched their "marital differences."
The new circulating rumors alluded to the "personal influence" of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and his wife, who has, it is said, " succeeded in preventing an open breach" between Manoel and Augusta Victoria when she first became ill.
The German Emperor and Empress have "advised" Augusta Victoria to "overlook the misdeeds of her husband for a time." Still, if she found it "impossible to live with him," they would not oppose or object to a separation."
