William's engagement ceremony added a touch of color to the world, but the excitement quickly died down.
People marveled at the lavish scale and grandeur of the royal engagement, but life had to go on, and no one believed the royal family should be denied such enjoyment.
Yet in November 1929, the global situation became turbulent again.
The outbreak of unrest was in Portugal, and it was caused by the country's brutal dictatorship.
It must be said that Arthur had a hand in and influence on this matter. Besides showcasing the prestige of the Australasian royal family, William's engagement ceremony also displayed the grandeur and splendor of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Family.
The royal families of both the United Kingdom and Australia are descended from this family, which has been heralded as the greatest family of the early 20th century.
Such a title naturally had an impact on Portugal, swaying some of its more neutral forces.
