Ileana to drive to Germany in her own car

July 22, 1929

Princess Ileana is to drive her own car to visit family at Schloss Sigmaringen in Germany, the AP reports. Accompanied by her English companion, Miss Marr, Ileana started her journey today. She will travel through Czechoslovakia and Austria, and will make stops in Vienna and Munich. The Princess is expected to spend three weeks with the Prince and Princess of Hohenzollern. Princes Friedrich and Franz and their wives are already at the castle, as are several members of the former imperial family. Several weeks ago, there were new reports that Ileana was about to become engaged to an unnamed German prince.

    Hi Marlene,

    Thank you for this piece. Does this mean Ileana was avoiding Hungary and taking the long route to Vienna?

    Have no idea what European road conditions were like at the time.
