Dear  readers,

I have a new website address at http://dianamandache.com/ The theme design of my new website is much more propitious for my writing, aims and purposes.

For those of you who have subscribed to my old site royalromania.wordpress.com, you should consider subscribing to this new one. All my old articles and images are also contained within the new site, so you should not have any problems in accessing them there.

Best regards,

Diana

Queen Marie’s Driving License to be auctioned

Auctions, Queen Marie of Romania

A Romanian auction house is scheduling a sale of the driving licence of Queen Marie, issued in the period when she was still a Crown Princess of Romania. The document was issued by The Touring Club of Munich, presumably for the use during her frequent visits of her mother, the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The young princess’ car make, mentioned on the papers, was a Mercedes 35h, no. of fabrication 5060, the series of the car engine being 7798. This is a fascinating item to be auctioned next week. I will keep you informed about the final result. The estimated price is € 2.000 – 4.000. The price is unrealistic in my opinion, typical of the local inexperienced antiques market. What a beautiful collector’s item! Diana

Price Realized € 5000

Marie of Edinburgh in her first Romanian peasant costume (Diana Mandache Collection)

Princess Marie in her first Romanian peasant costume (from the Arges ethnographic region) given to her by King Carol as a wedding gift. Romanian peasant dress was introduced for court festivities and ceremonies by Queen Elizabeth. The peasants were identified in the national ideology as the quintessential Romanians and many among the Romanian elite started in that period to follow the court’s example and express their national identity by wearing peasant attire when participating at national events and other festivities. Princess Marie from the very beginning wrote to her mother: «The other day there was a charity ball here, and everybody came in Romanian costumes, it looked so pretty».
