Légende
The Duc d'Aosta's Marriage with Princess Hélène of Orleans: the Princess, 1895. 'The approaching wedding in England of two members of foreign royal families has naturally excited a good deal of interest. But owing to the death, not many months ago, of the Comte de Paris, father of the bride, the ceremony will be conducted in a comparatively quiet fashion. Of the Princess whom the Duc d'Aosta is about to lead to the altar, all that is known is to the effect that she is a very charming young lady, well fitted to adorn the position to which she is soon to attain...Princess Hélène Louise Henriette of Orleans is the third child and second daughter of the Comte and Comtesse de Paris, and was born at Twickenham on June 13, 1871. She is therefore just twenty-four years of age...Princess Hélène, like her mother, is a clever horsewoman, and was always well to the forefront in the hunting-field during her residence in Buckinghamshire, often going out with the Woodnorton Harriers, kept by the Comtesse de Paris...Those who know her intimately can speak of her goodness of character and unchangeable amiability'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
