He was also known to be seeking a bride, and the expectation was that he might think of Princess Patricia of Connaught. However, at the 'family dinner' that evening at Buckingham Palace, he was much taken by a bashful Princess Victoria Eugenie. He continued the courtship, sending postcards on his travels, and they were married in Madrid on the following 31st May.
