           The prince was stymied. Then he decided on a
           plan: he announced that his wife had died, and he
           was looking to re-marry. Then he wrote to request
           portraits of all the eligible princesses. The portraits
           arrived, and the one he liked best was the King of
           England’s daughter. Consequently, he sent for her
