Show J. G. B. and Royalty. A gentleman just returned to London from the racing and other festivities at Cannes calls my attention to a social feature of the royal gayeties in the past fortnight which will be of special interest inter-est to Americans. One of the first acts of the Prince of Wales on his arrival at the Riviera was to make a personal call upon a private citizen of the United States. Two days later the prince invited invit-ed him to lunch, an invitation which the American was unable to accept, because he himself was that day entertaining ex-Empress ex-Empress Eugenie, Grand Duke Michel and other royal guests. It is a fact well known in all courts and salons on the continent that no untitled individual in all Europe is so cordially welcomed in the most exclusive circles of royalty and aristocracy as this man. His name is James Gordon Bennett. New York Sun's London Letter. |
