...Rumania, where the Royal Family have never been rated wealthy enough to keep a $1,350,000 yacht, much less buy one, His Majesty's purchase of the Nahlin came last week as a crashing fact to back up years of rumor that "Mme Lupescu is the shrewdest money-maker in Rumania." She is said to have got her working capital from people who wanted things wheedled out of Carol II, later was reported branching out into Bucharest real estate, finally to have large holdings in Rumania's key industries, especially those to which the Government can throw...
Scapegrace King Carol was received at Maryborough House in London last week by discriminating Queen Mary who did not receive his henna-haired Jewish friend, Mme Magda Lupescu. After both Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had called upon His Majesty, King Carol announced with a keen sense of timing that he had just bought the $1,350,000 yacht Nahlin which was leased last year by King Edward VIII for his cruise with Mrs. Wallis Simpson.

His Majesty feels that his "sacrifice" in not marrying his Mrs. Simpson No. 1 is one which leaves all Rumania under a debt of gratitude to the Throne. In holding this opinion King Carol glosses over or forgets that in his youth...
...Dictators in almost identical telegrams slapped King Carol in the face by telling the Royal Rumanian Government officially that the envoys of Germany and Italy had attended in their private capacity "the funeral of the two heroes" and that no ground for asking their recall existed. Friends of Mme Lupescu, "Smartest Woman in the Balkans," were inclined to admit that last week she had "perhaps overreached herself...
