Regarding the matter where I presented the merits and demerits of breaking off the engagement to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who consulted with me about wanting to break off our engagement because he had found someone he loves, despite my being without fault.

I found true love, so His Highness asked me to break off our engagement, and I said that would be fine. Then I decided to explain the merits and demerits of breaking an engagement. Using as an example the story of my parents' romance—my mother, who was a baroness and was called the romance of the century 20 years ago, and my father, the duke's son—and the engagement-breaking incident. The things parents do really do affect their children too... I went through quite a lot because of it.
