Relevance to Marie

Named only in passing. On 11 April 1875, in the English church at Nice, Marie, who loves the Anglican liturgy, three times turns the page where the congregation prays «pour le prince de Galles Albert-Edward, pour la reine et pour la noblesse» (031.0182): «Je ne m'étonne plus pourquoi ils sont si adorables, c'est qu'on prie tant pour eux.» The prince is the future Edward VII (PRINCE_OF_WALES).
