Summary/Abstract: Planned by Queen Mary of Romania and the Canadian major Joe Boyle, the journey around the world of Prince Carol, the presumptive heir of the Romanian throne, was organized along with the British by reasons of security and protocol. The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to carry out the scheme for enlarging the distance between the two lovers, Carol and Zizi Lambrino, who had launched a deep dynastic crisis in a very delicate moment for the Romanian state. The main unofficial goal of the trip, a long separation of the sweethearts, was reached, but the official one – the establishment of a commercial connection between Romania and Japan – was indubitably a failure.
