Princess Louise's baggage seize for debts

July 7, 1913

The New York Times is reporting on yet another scandal facing Princess Louise of Belgium. The Princess has arrived in Belgium at the same time as her sister, Princess Stephanie, Countess Lonyay, "to settle their money interests in connection with the judicial sentence disbarring them from the possession of the property of King Leopold, which they claimed." Princess Louise arrived at Brussels' Northern Railway station, where her baggage was seized on the orders of a hotel keeper, who claims from Louise an unpaid debt of more the 19,000 Francs.
According to the Times, "this fresh scandal promises further developments."
