By virtue of years, indeed;
she is now Britain's senior priln-

Victoria's six surviving grand-

for herself but for the royal
idea.
It caused all the greater flurry
in official dovecotes not long
ago when, she mentioned that
one royal duty had never come

had never launched .anything—
"not even a dinghy."
The First Lord . of the Ad-

omission. Within a short time

In a flat in the heart of May-
fair most mornings England's
oldest princess spends an hour
or two dictating her reminis-
cences into a modern recording
machine.
Royal advisers were startled
when they beard that Princess
Marie Louise, Queen Victoria's
grand-daughter, was writing her
memoirs. She has been behind
the scenes at four - corohations
and forty royal, weddings. Now
in her eighty-fourth year, she
can saltily recall all the royal
family crises of her amazing life-
time. Yet her secrets have never
been told.
Few people realized, for in-
stance, through all the years
that barred divorcees from the
Royal Enclosure at Ascot, that
there had been a divorce in the
royal family itself,
The divorced, both guilty and
innocent, were rigidly excluded
from Court. Yet Princess Marie
Louise sometimes appeared smil-
ing on the balcony at Bucking-
ham Palace—and staid chamber-
lains had to admit that Court
rules need not apply to near
relatives of the Blood.
Though divorce meant social
ostracism, they inevitably had
to make Princess Marie Louise
an exception. So she continued
to go to Ascot and stroll in the
Royal Enclosure whenever she
felt like it.,,
In 1891, when she was a girl
of nineteen, Princess Marie
Louise occupied much the same
position in royal popularity as
the nineteen-year-old Princess
Alexandra does today, When her
engagement was announced to
Prince Joseph of Anhalt, one of
the richest duchies in Germany,
public opinion rejoiced.
Royal guests from all nations
flocked to the wedding in St.
George's Chapel, Windsor, But
the last echoes of the wedding
bells had scarcely died away
whets the Princess endured deep
humiliation.
After nine years of =happi-
ness and heartbreak the mar-
riage was dissolved, Quietly the
Princess returned to England
and began devoting her life to
helping others, Even now, at
eighty-three, she works with
amazing vitality for dozens of
organizations ranging from dis-
trict• nursing to the Docklanda
Settlemeht.
Whether for a charity mati,
nee, a ball or a fund-raising
speech, good cause organizers

royal princess, Marie Louise has
her telephone number in the
'phone book.
