Rupprecht to marry Antonia

February 24, 1921

A Berlin newspaper, Kreuz Zeitung, today features the announcement of the engagement between Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and Princess Antonia of Luxembourg, younger sister of Grand Duchess Charlotte.
A previous betrothal between the couple was broken after "the revolution in Bavaria." The former Crown prince's first wife, Marie Gabriele, died in 1912. There is a 30 age difference between the prospective bride and groom.
