Prince Franz flies to mom

January 14, 1941

Prince Franz zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst declared today that his mother, Princess Stephanie, is "critically ill," according to a report in the New York Times. The 26-year-old prince will leave tonight from LaGuardia Field  for Palo Alto on an American Airlines flight.  He says there is "no substance to the charges leveled against her of being a Nazi agent," and added that he "wanted to be with her in her trouble."
Princess Stephanie was ordered to leave the United States in December "on the ground that her visitor's permit had expired."
She had first agreed to leave, but several days ago, it was reported that she would fight efforts to deport her.  The Princess is staying at a hotel near San Francisco.
