"After refusing a proposal from her cousin, the future King George V, Marie (the daughter of Prince Albert) was chosen as the future wife of Crown Prince Ferdinand of Romania. During the World War One, she worked as a nurse in military hospitals in Moldavia where she and her husband took refuge. After the war, on 1 December 1918, the historical region of Transylvania, following Bessarabia and Bukovina, united with the Old Kingdom. Marie, now queen of Greater Romania, attended the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, where she campaigned for international recognition of the enlarged Romania. In 1922, she and Ferdinand were crowned in a specially built cathedral in the ancient city of Alba Iulia, in an elaborate ceremony which mirrored their status as queen and king of a united state. She spent her final years in the countryside, away from court, after her son deposed of his own son and took over the throne from him to become King Carol II."

There are quite a few of her artifacts at the Maryhill Museum overlooking the Columbia Gorge in Washington state. She was buddies with Sam Hill, the railroad man, who built the mansion. Really quite an interesting place to visit. |
