Maria Cristina will not marry Roumanian prince

February 12, 1930

The palace in Madrid today officially denied the "persisting rumors" that Infanta Maria Cristina, the younger daughter of King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia, will marry Prince Nicholas of Roumania.
The New York Times reports that the marriage of "the eighteen-year-old youngest, cheeriest and best liked of the Infantas might divert the country from politics." Prince Nicholas, who is the youngest surviving son of the late King Ferdinand and Queen Marie, is said to be "suitable, both as a man and as a royal husband."
