Edinburgh's eldest princess Mary was born in 1875, holding a card face, except for The Straight Son, who is Wang Fried.
In the Victorian era, she did not treat her eldest son very well, and the most painful thing was that her second son, Prince Alfred, incidentally, the children of the Edinburgh family, especially the eldest princess Mary, were loved by the Queen.
As Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Mary can make small jokes about her, and she can affectionately call Queen Victoria a cute little old lady.
Blonde hair, pale blue eyes, quiet and quiet Mary, from childhood clever and clever to please people.
Coupled with the personal teaching of Mary, the mother of the Grand Duke of Russia, Mary's lively nature has a rare cultivation.
Mary's father, an English prince, was able to marry the only daughter of the Russian Tsar, and it was not easy at that time.
At that time, the free European countries looked down on backward Russia. If it weren't for love over everything, the two could not have been united.
It's just that the love after marriage is gradually replaced by water and soil disobedience.
The Duke of Edinburgh was happy to go out in search of a lover, while the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Grand Duchess of Russia, could not stand the wet and cold weather in England.
Therefore, in the marriage of Princess Mary, the Duchess of Edinburgh played a crucial role.
Mary's cousin, the second prince of the Prince of Wales family, the future George V was very fond of this cousin, and just when Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales family felt that this was the best kind of kissing, the Duchess of Edinburgh was firmly opposed.
To the Russians, the marriage of cousins is a joke.
Moreover, Princess Mary was indoctrinated by the Duchess from an early age into the beauty of the Eastern European continent, and she did not want her daughter to remain in the British royal family, or even in Britain.
At that time, because Princess Mary's father, the Duke of Edinburgh, was knighted as a German duke, the family moved to Germany.
The mother set her sights on Germany.
In 1892, after the 17-year-old Mary failed to marry her cousin, who was 10 years older than herself, she met the 26-year-old Crown Prince of Romania, Ferdinand.
One is lively and active, smart and clever, and one does not speak much and is more shy. However, these two people were attracted to each other in this way.
Ferdinand was originally a prince of the German royal family, but because King Carol I of Romania had no heirs at the time, he was made Crown Prince of Romania.
The Duchess was happy to make the marriage happen. In this way, the relations between Germany and Russia can go further.
In 1893, Princess Mary, who did not yet know what love tasted like, married Ferdinand.
It's more like a marriage of interests.
Although you are crown prince, the current king and his wife are a bit strict with Ferdinand's two sons. Especially after Mary gave birth to her eldest son, Carol, and eldest daughter, they forcibly took the child away, bluntly saying that Mary was too young to take good care of the child.
The mighty king and queen would not have imagined how heavy a hidden danger they had sown for Mary and romania.
The hyperactive mary discovers that her husband Ferdinand's premarital strengths have become fatal flaws in their marriage. His reticence no longer aroused her curiosity, and he made her feel dull like the Romanian palaces.
In this emotional mode, the best outlet is cheating. Both husband and wife have cheated. Even the last child Mary gave birth to was not her husband's.
In 1914, King Carol I died and Ferdinand succeeded to the throne. At this time, on the eve of the First World War, in the face of the country's peril, the discord between husband and wife had to be made into husband and wife.
Romania was inevitably dragged into the vortex of war.
Which side should the Allies and the Allies take to benefit themselves?
Ferdinand followed Queen Mary's advice and quickly sided with the Allies, guaranteeing Romania's independence.
Even Ferdinand himself admitted that he was inferior to Queen Mary in his ability to lead the country. At one time there was a claim that Mary ruled Romania.
Queen Mary in the war, always dressed in a military uniform, rushed to the streets, hospitals, relief points, and infected the soldiers and people who participated in the war with her bravery.
After the war, at the Paris Peace Conference, which shared the fruits of victory, the victorious powers were not friendly to Romania at all, only because it had sided with the Allies before and made many concessions to hostile forces.
When Ferdinand, who was king, jumped to her feet in anger, Queen Mary made a decisive move and went to Paris to negotiate on behalf of Romania.
A beautiful woman not only talked about a Romanian bright road among many elders, but also made the countries recognize the land that Romania had acquired in the war, doubled the size of Romania's land, and won respect for herself.
This is not just beautiful, but wisdom and means.
Diplomacy succeeded, but domestic chores were a mess.
Queen Mary's eldest son, Carol, the crown prince who was taken away and raised by the former king and queen since childhood, gave Mary a big basket.
Spoiled from childhood, he grew up debauched, and without the appearance of a crown prince, he eloped with a divorced Jewish woman to Paris.
This was a matter of public outrage, and the qualification for succession to the throne was replaced by his own son Mihai.
In fact, this is not the first time he has done this.
During World War I, Carol eloped with the daughter of an officer, disregarding the safety of the country, and although he knew that royals and commoners would lose their right to the throne when they married, they fled to Russia to marry secretly. He was eventually forcibly repatriated.
Although the royal family did not recognize the marriage, and Carol also married the Greek princess Helen, she still could not change her temperament. It's just that this time the elopement scene is obviously too costly, and his son has replaced him.
In 1927, Ferdinand died and Washai succeeded to the throne.
However, Carol, at the instigation of some parties, killed a hui horse gun and snatched the throne from his son, becoming Carol II.
Queen Mary was deprived of the right to participate in politics, and even taking into account her influence in the country, her son wanted to exile his mother.
In the face of a group of world powerhouses, Queen Mary was able to quietly reverse the situation, but this time she chose to take the initiative to exile. After all, it is not enough to step forward the word family affection.
Afterwards, Mary moved to Brown Castle. It is said that this is the place where Dracula, the father of the vampire, was imprisoned, hence the name "Vampire Castle".
It was a birthday present that Ferdinand had bought for her, and she had specially renovated it into a place to meet important guests, and finally became the place where he and her son imprisoned her, which was a bit ironic.
In 1938, the seriously ill Mary went to Italy for recuperation, realized that she was not coming long, and she wanted to return to Romania, but her son Carol II did not arrange a plane for her, or the German side sent a plane to pick her up.
In July of the same year, queen Mary died at the age of 63, her heart was taken out, first buried in the church of Balchik Palace, and later in Brown Castle.
She had loved, complained, and supported each other, and in the end, she had not been able to get out of the circle that Ferdinand had drawn for her.
