April 11, 1933
Prince Nicholas of Romania and his morganatic wife, Ioana Dumitrescu-Doletti, have separated, according to "well-informed sources," reports the Associated Press.
The prince will return shortly to Bucharest and "resume all his royal rights and prerogatives."
One Bucharest newspaper, Adevural reports that the Dowager Queen Marie was "instrumental in bringing about a reconciliation between Prince Nicholas and his brother, King Carol."
Nicholas' marriage took place in Tohani, Romania, on November 7, 1931, without the approval of King Carol, who was said to be "displeased" with his brother's actions. He ordered all records of the marriage ceremony to be destroyed, and he demanded that the newlyweds meet him to discuss the situation. Nicholas and Jana refused "to answer his summons."
Eventually, the two brothers met. The king "tore up the marriage certificate" before his brother. Nicholas, 29 informed the king that he had "photostatic copies" of the marriage license.
The prince and his 22-year-old wife do not have any children.
