September 24, 1932.
Reports have surfaced about King Alfonso's behavior following the baptism of the daughter of his niece, the Countess Zamoyska.
He was in Budapest to attend the baptism of his goddaughter. Before the ceremony, the king was having lunch at a local hotel, and was consuming goulash, Hungary's national dish, when he caught sight of a photographer. Alfonso shouted at the photographer in German, tell him not to take a photograph. His pleas went in vain, so he got up, took the camera, and the photographer "unceremoniously flung out of the room by the waiters."
This action, it was noted, contrasted with having accepted "spiritual authority" for his goddaughter. The king is also the godfather of Princess Ileana of Roumania's infant son, Archduke Stefan, who was baptised a few weeks ago.
