The King and Queen of Romania Visiting England in 1924

History Daily

Queen Marie was born in 1875 in Edinburgh, but she gave up her life and monarchy to wed the Crown Prince of Romania, Prince Ferdinand back in 1892. It was because of their marriage that supposedly, Ferdinand chose to ally himself with the English against the German regime. The royal couple spent time on a diplomatic tour in the 1920s, visiting countries like Belgium, France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. During their visit, King George V announced them by saying, “Apart from the common aims, which we pursue, there are other and dear ties between us. Her Majesty the Queen, my dear cousin, is British born.”
