Former Crown Prince Carol of Romania arrived in Rapallo, Italy, today, and "went straight to the Hotel Excelsior," to see his son, Prince Michael, the heir apparent to the throne, reports the Associated Press.

Strict orders were issued to keep the press and others away from "approaching Carol," or even those who accompanied him.


Five-year-old Michael was brought to the hotel by his mother, Princess Helen, and he remained at the hotel to meet his father.  Princess Helen has returned to Bucharest to visit her mother-in-law, Queen Marie.
