November 17, 1919
The Associated Press is reporting that Prince Carol of Roumania has renounced his rights to the throne, and has returned to his morganatic wife, Zizi Lambrino.
This act has sorely disappointed his parents, King Ferdinand and Queen Marie. He has also accepted a lower rank in Roumania's military.
Queen Marie said: "He has had all that a mother and a father could give to a son, and if he chooses to go this way we can't help it. We have pleaded and entreated with him until entreaty is no longer possible.
"Youth and love, I suppose, will have their way in spite of kings and queens."
King Ferdinand had forced Carol to separate from Lambrino and end the marriage. Despite this, Carol has returned to his Roumanian commoner wife.
