Roumanian officials are indignant with the recent comments made to English newspapers by Count Alexander von Hochberg. The count, who is the son of the Prince and Princess of Pless, stated that he was never sentenced "to a prison term for any offense whatsoever," reports the New York Times. The count remains insistent that he is still engaged to Princess Ileana, and he will be meeting with her in Egypt.
"Authoritative circles" state that Alexander's "denial was not acceptable," and make it clear that the "dissolution of the engagement would be announced soon." The accusations against the count "would be found to have been well-grounded."
Bucharest newspapers are "irritated" by the Count's denial. Although the newspapers have not yet published the details about the "whole affair," they threatened, "if further interviews of the kind are published, they will retaliate by publishing "details of his conduct while in Bucharest."
It has also been announced that Queen Marie and Princess Ileana will extend their trip to Egypt by visiting Syria and Palestine. They are not expected to return to Roumania until May 1.
