Princess Helene of France, Duchess of Aosta

[LouisFerdinand]

Has anyone read the book The Wandering Princess about Princess Helene of France?

Duke Ernst Gunther of Schleswsig-Holstein thought he might marry Princess Helene. German diplomatic pressure put an end to Ernst Gunther's hopes.

Lord Salisbury told Queen Victoria that Prince Eddy's marriage to a Frenchwoman, even if Princess Helene of Orleans were to renounce her Catholic religion, would be highly unpopular with the British public.
