Cheerfully and even joyously, then, Dowager Queen Marie returned from the Passion Play at Oberammergau last week to Bucharest. As her train drew in, but before it stopped, Her Majesty leaped from the step of her salon car as lightly as a girl, rushed at King Carol who tried to take and kiss her hand, swept him into her arms, hugged and kissed him thrice. With a gay skip Crown Prince (previously King) Mihai rushed at "Granny''! Prince Nicholas kissed his mother's hand. So did all the other great dignitaries present except one.

Rumania thus had a King and Queen who were unmarried?probably a record...
