The Romanian Royalty Visit Dover, England – Queen Marie And King Ferdinand

The future queen of Romania, Marie, was born in 1875 in Edinburgh. Twenty-two years later, she would be betrothed to Crown Prince Ferdinand of Romania. It was thanks to her influence that her royal husband decided to side with England during World War I. Following more than twenty years spent in Eastern Europe, the two embarked on a diplomatic tour of Western Europe in 1924. They would visit Switzerland, Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom. King George V would happily welcome them into his home, due to the diplomatic significance of their visit, and because Queen Marie was a beloved cousin of his.
