Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Famous Morganatic Marriages The Great War has changed everything except human nature, and if the term "morganatic marriage" now seems anachronistic there always will be men and women to rebel against convention and to seek in experiment a panacea for restlessness and ennui. Mankind has ever been inconsistent. It has set up kings, pampered their families and pauperised their brains, applauded them when they have contracted "love matches" - going into ecstasies over their "human qualities" because a prince has married a peasant or a princess has condescended to ally herself with a "mere nobleman" - and then has dethroned them for not being divine! We may live to see the day when an English or American millionaire creates astonishment by permitting his daughter to marry a Windsor or a Romanoff, though in that case there will be many who will not long for old age because they shrink from the horrors of a bogus and spurious equality. A morganatic marriage is generally regarded as a love match, but an examination of the records does not prove them to be more successful than less romantic alliances entered into for reasons of State.
