Queen Marie in Paris

March 25, 1931


Queen Marie of Roumania, accompanied by her daughter, Princess Ileana, arrived in Paris today for an unofficial visit, according to a wireless to the New York Times.   She was met by representatives of the Foreign Office, the French President and the Roumanian minister, and then was taken directly to her hotel.

The Queen told reporters she would remain in Paris for several days before going to Brittany to visit her brother-in-law and sister, Grand Duke Kirill and Grand Duchess Victoria of Russia.   It was also announced that Marie would not visit Morocco, as originally planned, and she expected to "remain in France for some time."

This afternoon, Marie, the widow of King Ferdinand, spent the afternoon shopping, and this evening, she and Princess Ileana planned to go to the theatre.
