Show Royal Marriages. " The marrtago register of tho Chapel Royal Is tho concern not of tho register general, but of tho clerk of tho closet. Tho king, of course, Is not required, llko ordinary mortals, to register tho birth of his children, nor must he cause tho death of his predecessor to be registered. And as the Chapel Royal is a "Royal Peculiar," says London Lon-don Tlt-Blts, tho ordinary law as to the registration of marriages docs not apply cither. But a register is kept by tho clerk of tho closet at present Bishop Bish-op Royal Carpenter who d'Jy records tho baptisms, marriages and burials of tho lmmedlato members of tho royal family, and tho baptisms and marriages of those to whom tho king grants thq tiso of the Chapel Royal for these, ceremonies. |
