No doubt a married Prince would be an asset to the section of society that used a capital 8. One can imagine his lovely Princess playing hostess at St. James's, and the interest that would be taken in her brilliant entertainments. The members of foreign Royal houses would be her guests, and she would often be the centre of groups of diplomatic and social stars, But the ordinary humdrum citizen reading of these doings, while certainly appreciating a new Royal Indy, would perhaps feel that he had lost his Prince. In- deed, he would probably vary the old rhyme and say, "Our Princo la our Prince Will he gets a wife."
