unusual facts about King Carol II



Bobbi Trout

This was another record broken by Trout and was later recognized by King Carol II of Romania where a representative gave her the Royal Decree and the aviation cross for pilots who made record flights, a distinction which was only given to two other pilots - Earhart and Charles Lindbergh.

Elisabeta Palace

The palace was designed in 1930 by the architect Marcu and built in 1936 for Princess Elisabeta, the former queen of Greece and sister of King Carol II.

Radu Irimescu

As might be expected for an ambassador, Irimescu expressed public support for the royal dictatorship established by King Carol II (see National Renaissance Front).
