Mistress Romania is the story of a woman whose political and social achievements surpassed her era’s expectations. Using her formidable talents of persuasion, she helped hundreds of thousands of widows, orphans and invalids in their time of need. She was able to harness the enormous resources of the Hoover Organisation, American, Canadian and British Red Cross, as well as her own personal wealth.
Her work in the war hospitals at the front earned her immense popularity amongst Romanians. Then she stepped up the effort, making it her mission to save even more of them. Her efforts drew on her personal fortune and the considerable resources of the royal coffers, as well as those of private donors. She acquired fifty locomotives for the beleaguered Romanian railways and sent home dozens of coaches of food supplies. She also saved many Jews from certain death and sounded the alarm about the ominous rise of Fascism in Germany, infuriating Adolf Eichmann.
She also made a name for herself as a philanthropist and a shrewd businesswoman. In addition to her own holdings, she managed to acquire major industrial concerns from those who had no other options. She arranged to have her share in the nationalized enterprises transferred to her, and she used her vast networks of friends and contacts to secure financial aid for many Romanians.
Yet it was her love life that brought her down. Her search for adventurous women nearly tore her family apart.
Crown Prince Carol kept bad company that would make the high-born members of his own family blush, and he was more interested in female companionship than the responsibilities of his role as heir apparent. His playboy ways resulted in his first palace scandals.
His romance with the much younger Elena Lupescu (who styled herself Princess Magda) was not a match from society’s point of view. She was redheaded, Jewish, Catholic and divorced, and Romanians were shocked when they found out about her.
Magda and Carol enjoyed the toast of Great Britain, but behind closed doors, he was itching to return to his homeland. Scotland Yard uncovered the truth. In a cellar, the former prince had been manufacturing detailed political manifestoes to bring his totalitarian tirade to fruition. For more details please visit Mistress Romania
Throughout the years, Carol and Magda weathered economic crisis, labour unrest, the emergence of Fascism and assassination attempts to become master manipulators of Romanian politics. Those they could not bribe, they forced into retirement or exiled (Maniu, Ion Antonescu); those they couldn’t buy over, they suppressed ruthlessly (the Legion of the Archangel Michael, later known as the Iron Guard). They built an impressive empire with their own money, their influence and their ability to manipulate others. Those who resisted their charms were crushed like a grape. Even the king bowed to their power. Then came the war. As his health declined, he ceded his duties to his daughter and disappeared from public life. Eventually, he died in relative peace. The title of Queen Mother reverted to his eldest daughter, who is now the current Queen of Romania.
