The Crisis of the Romanian Monarchy in the 1940s. The Personal Proving of the Royal Family and the Failure of Re-institutionalizing the Monarchic rule

Summary/Abstract: In August 1944 the Queen Mother and the young Romanian Monarch had gained personal strength because of their moral behaviour during the time of the Second World War and the Romanian Holocaust. However, at the same time, the monarchy as an institution had lost its vigour. It is often argued by scholars that with Carol II leaving the country by force, the Romanian monarchy was not anymore with out alternatives. The Queen Mother and the young Monarch were praised because of their ”virtues” but not as representatives of an important, strong, deeply rooted in the culture of the country institution.
