October 17, 1927


Princess Ileana, the youngest daughter of Queen Marie of Rumania, attended church in Bucharest today, following reports that she had "eloped with a naval lieutenant," according to the Associated Press.

Queen Marie, angered by the reports "publishing abroad regarding Ileana's asserted elopement," had previously denied the rumors, telling reporters that since the death of King Ferdinand,  Princess Ileana has "not left her side."
