The life of the last Queen of Romania, told by Queen Anne during the summer of 1999 to her son-in-law, Prince Radu of Hohenzollern-Veringen, and transformed by the author into a book, will certainly impress the readers. It is the complicated and sometimes dramatic lifestory of a young girl born in the most bourgeois neighbourhood in Paris, le seizième arrondissement, the daughter of Prince René of Bourbon-Parma and Princess Margrethe of Denmark. Educated, as all royal girls, in the spirit of faith, labor, devotion and sense of duty, Anne became, for a half of a century, by her marriage to King Michael of Romania, the Queen in exile of a suffering country. A remarkable life by its constancy, modesty, spontaneity and simplicity.
