Engagement rumors continue for Infanta Beatriz

April 26, 1930

The Duke of Spoleto, the younger son of the Duke and Duchess of Aosta, arrived today in Madrid, sparking further rumors of a forthcoming engagement announcement with Infanta Beatriz, King Alfonso XIII's elder daughter.
The Duke spent the day with Beatriz's older brother, the Prince of Asturias at the Palace.  According to the New York Times, the Duke, who is also known as Prince Aimone, "has remained in Spain longer than he expected and was constantly in the company" of Infanta Beatriz.  The two appeared to be enjoying each other's company.  He stayed with the Spanish royal family in Seville, where they are expected to remain for several more days.
The Palace has refused to comment on the engagement rumors.  The Duke of Spoleto will leave for Paris tonight.
