"HE REALLY & TRULY IS GIRL SHY"

PRINCE OF WALES HAS ATTACHED HIMSELF TO THE 'YOUNG MARRIED SET'

New York City (JFK+50) On September 5, 1924, Robert T. Small of The Evening Star reports "the Prince of Wales* really and truly is girl shy."

Small writes that despite this fact, the Prince does "enjoy the society of women.  He loves it."

The Prince of Wales "is just like every other young bachelor who has no present mind for matrimony."  So he has attached himself to the "young married set."

*Edward VIII (1894-1972) was born in Surrey, England & was Prince of Wales 1911-1936.  E VIII was King of U.K. Jan 20 to Dec 10, 1936 & abdicated the throne.  One of the shortest reigning British monarchs, he then became the Duke of Windsor.
