Anne of Romania: A War, an Exile, a Life

At all the crucial moments, the King has been alone. I am absolutely convinced that the Romanian nation has always loved and understood him. But those who should have been beside him in these crucial moments have always left him on his own : on 23rd August 1944, at Easter 1992, on 30th December 1997 ? always alone. Is this his destiny ? I do not know what his destiny is. I cannot say. He is a man of such goodness that he is above the rest of us. And whenever he speaks out from that height, those who should have courage sound the retreat. (Anne of Romania).
