Carol II of Romania - Remains Returned To Romania

Remains Returned To Romania

Carol died and was buried in Estoril, Portugal, in 1953; his remains were returned to Romania in 2003, at the Curtea de Argeş monastery. They lie outside the cathedral that is the burial place of most Romanian kings. Neither of his sons participated in either ceremony. His younger son, Michael, was represented by his daughter, Princess Margarita, and her husband, Prince Radu of Romania. His eldest son, Carol Lambrino was forbidden (since 1940) to enter Romanian territory.

Famous quotes containing the words remains and/or returned:

    As for work, without it, without painstaking work, any writer or artist definitely remains a dilettante; there’s no point in waiting for so-called blissful moments, for inspiration; if it comes, so much the better—but you keep working anyway.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    Still they stood,
    A great wave from it going over them,
    As if the earth in one unlooked-for favor
    Had made them certain earth returned their love.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
