Consent Accorded Kin of Queen Victoria to Wed London, Dec. 26.
A Court circular from Sandringham announces that the King held a Privy Council at 6 o'clock this evening at which the Duke of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent were present. The Earl of Athlone acted for the Lord President of the Council. i The King, it is understood,.gave his formal assent to the marriage of Princess Frederika of Brunswick and Prince Paul of Greece.
As the Princess is a great granddaughter of Queen Victoria, the King's assent is necessary before the marriage can take place.
It is many years since a Council was held on the da Christmas.—Reuter.
