Newspapers said that a compromise had been reached with the Vatican whereby the first male child of Princess Giovanna and Tsar Boris might be educated in the Orthodox faith if the other children were Roman Catholic, and so comply with the Bulgarian Constitution which expressly states that the heir to the throne must be a member of the Bulgarian Church.
