THE TELEGRAPH" LEARNS FROM LONDON SOURCES THAT PRINCESS JULIANA, THE HEIRESS TO THE THRONE OF THE NETHERLANDS, AND PRINCE BERNARD ZUR LIPPE BIESTERFELD, WHOM SHE WILL MARRY SHORTLY, WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY VISIT HONGKONG AND THE FAR EAST ON HER HONEYMOON.
Contrary to first reports. Princess Juliana will be mar- ried before the end of the year.
"It is learned in court circles in the Hague that the marri- age will take place during the second half of Decem- ber.
Arrangements for the wedding are now being made..
It is stated that Princess Juliana and her consort will spend the first part of their honeymoon in Europe and afterwards visit the Far East.
They are expected to come East, during January and February,
Their first destination will be The Netherlands East Indies, via Singapore. From there they will prozed to Manila, Hongkong and Shanghai.
It is improbable that the Royal couple will stay in Hongkong for more than a day, merely passing through this Colony,
The route to be followed will be; substantially the same as that taken by King Leopold of the Belgians and his wife, the late Queen Astrid, when they visited this Colony in 1933, shortly before King Leopold's accession to the throng.
