Princess Margarete of Bourbon-Parma has filed suit against Revillion Freres, Parisian furriers, for 2 million francs, the Chicago Daily Tribune reports. The 2 million francs is the value of a mink coat that Margarete stored at the furriers in 1941. The Germans, then occupying Paris, seized the coat to "send to a freezing German general on the Russian front."
The princess wants the money or another fur coat, which she will give to her daughter, Anne, as a wedding present. Princess Anne is engaged to marry the exiled King Michael of Roumania.
Revillion states that Princess Margarete "should be paid out of German reparations."
