...Catalonian convent, said a friend, Irene "overcame her difficulties of mind" and would soon announce a "happy family happening." As Bernhard flew off again to bring her home, the princess popped up at the house of her invisible suitor. He turned out to be Prince Carlos de Borbon y Parma, 33, whose family has its own remote claim to the Spanish throne.
