de Nemours' father doubts wedding with Peggy

April 8, 1928 

 The family of the Duke de Nemours,' whose "imminent" marriage to Marguerite (Peggy) Watson, of Washington, D.C., was reported in yesterday's London papers, has "caused surprise" in the duke's family. 

A representative of his father, the Duke of Vendome, told the Associated Press: "I have never heard of it," when asked about the proposed marriage. He said the Duke's "prolonged sojourn in England" because he had been taking a course in aviation in Cardiff, Wales, 

He added that the Duke de Nemours would be returning to Paris at the end of the week, and then travel to Central Africa, for a trip, which will be "devoted to scientific research."
