Archduke confirms marriage

April 13 1938

Archduke Albrecht of Austria confirmed the rumors of his marriage today, when he announced "that he had visited Regent Nicholas Horthy" in Budapest several days ago to "announce his intention: to marry Katalin Bocksal, a 22-year-old former school teacher. The marriage will be in compliance with Hungarian law, but should he marry without Archduke Otto's permission, he "would exclude himself from the former imperial family," according to the New York Times.
