Carol demands his mother leave the country

November 7, 1936

The Chicago Daily Tribune reports that King Carol II of Roumania had demanded that his mother, Queen Marie, leave the country. Diplomatic circles state that this is due to a "new quarrel" between the monarch and his mother. The cause of the quarrel is a letter that the Dowager queen wrote to her daughter-in-law, Princess Helen, who is divorced from the king. In this letter, the queen allegedly has accused Carol for the "bad conditions in the country."
It was said that Princess Helen showed the letter to her former husband, "in order to show Carol what kind of person he is and what his own mother thinks of him."
