...Rumanian drama of last week from Godstone, near London, King Mihai's ineffectual father, Prince Carol (eldest son of Dowager Queen Marie), who would be King at this moment had he not chosen to abdicate (TIME, Jan. n, 1926) and live abroad with a titan-haired Jewess, Mme. Magda Lupescu. Carol, who now aspires to regain powers which he too lightly cast away, said last week: "I didn't leave my country for love of Mme. Lupescu.

The Prince seemed willing, but made conditions. Whereupon the King angrily cried: "It is not for you to make conditions "but for me, the King, to do so!" Embittered at his son's attitude, the ailing Monarch returned to Bucharest. Soon afterwards, however, he admitted to General Averescu that Prince...
...prince, father of King Michael, still lives in seclusion in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. He has espoused, respectively in morganatic and natural union, two ladies of nonroyal blood: Mme. Zizi Lambrino, who has borne him a son, Mircea, older by two years than Michael; and Mme. Magda Lupescu, who some time ago displaced Mme. Lambrino (TIME, March...
