Romanians regard Crown Princess Marie "with justice, as the most beautiful Princess in Europe," writes the Bucharest correspondent for the Los Angeles Times. She and Queen Elisabeth, better known as Carmen Sylva, "are adored because of their simple, human ways and their whole-hearted sympathy with the poor and needy."
Just a day or two ago, the Crown Princess was out riding in a public park with her two young daughters, Princesses Elisabetha and Marie, when they met two Wallachian peasant children "selling basket work and rough brooms." The royal party stopped, as Crown Princess Marie asked the children where they lived. They responded that their home was only "a short distance from the city."
The next day Crown Princess Marie and her children, brought food and clothes, to the Wallachian family, whose happiness was increased when the Crown Princess "commanded" that the children come to the Palace, where they would instruct her children "twice a week in basket making."
Crown Princess Marie, married to Crown Prince Ferdinand, heir to the throne, speaks "the melodious Romanian language without a trace of foreign accent, and with the idiomatic accuracy of a born Romanian."
