Duchess of Oporto


July 16, 1920
The American-born Duchess of Oporto sailed today for New York on board te steam, Britannia. The New York Times reports that she will spend a month in the United States, and then return to Naples. Her visit to Italy will be "for the purpose of bringing the body of the late Duke, who died in Naples early this year," to Portugal for reburial in the Pantheon of Portuguese Kings.
The reburial is expected to take place next fall.

The Duke of Oporto was the younger brother of the late King Carlos of Portugal.
