The Duc d'Aosta's Marriage with Princess Hélène of Orleans: Duchesse d'Aosta: the Duc d'Aosta, 1895. 'In appearance, Emanuele Filberto Vittorio Eugenio Alberto Genova Giuseppe Maria, Duc d'Aosta, is handsome and distinguished-looking, with dark hair and a pale skin - a colouring typical of Northern Italy. He is endowed with a gallant bearing and charm of manner which, in conjunction with his nobility of character, have earned for him universal popularity...One may rightly imagine that the proverb "Happy is the nation which has no history" holds good in the case of royal personages, especially those of the age of the Duc d'Aosta. His life has been so far uneventful; really, the chief point in his career is his betrothal, which is just about to be followed by his "promotion," as a certain English novelist termed marriage. The Duc is the eldest son of the late Prince Amedeo, Duc d'Aosta, and consequently is a nephew of the King of Italy. He was born on Jan. 13, 1869, and after his education had been completed he joined the army...The young Duc, who is three years older than his bride, was, we believe, regarded with affection by the late Comte de Paris'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
