WORLD : Former King to Visit Romania
Romania’s ex-King Michael will return to his country this month for the first time since he was forced to abdicate 42 years ago, relatives said today.
Michael, 68, plans to spend one week in the capital, Bucharest, where he will attend an Orthodox Church Easter service and will tour the country by car for another week, they said.
He will be accompanied by his wife ex-Queen Anne and three of his five daughters.
Michael was put on a train out of Romania in January, 1948, after the Communist government forced him to sign an abdication document.
