Asked if the Hutton millions had not helped on the romance, Mr. Hutton declared: "Maybe at the beginning that counted but now it's a real love affair. I don't see why Barbara, who's the sweetest girl in the world, can't be loved for herself."
Huton lawyers meanwhile saw to it that Barbara's Prince should not become too great an expense.
