Ĭrown Princess Marie of Romania (later Queen of Romania) with her daughter Princess Elisabeth (later Queen of Greece) She had a romantic relationship with Marc Favrat, a would-be artist almost thirty years younger, whom she finally adopted just before her death in 1956.

Exiled, the former queen moved to Switzerland and then to Cannes, in southern France. However, her communist links did not prevent her from being expelled from the country when the Romanian People's Republic was proclaimed in 1947. At the end of World War II, she established close links with the Romanian Communist Party and openly conspired against her nephew, the young King Michael I, earning the nickname of ' Red Aunt' of the sovereign. After the death of her mother, Queen Marie, in 1938 and the abdication of King Carol II in 1940, Elisabeth took up the role of First Lady of Romania. Very close to her brother, King Carol II of Romania, the former queen amassed an important fortune, partly due to financial advice given by her lover, the banker Alexandru Scanavi. In Romania, Elisabeth and George II's relationship deteriorated and the couple divorced in 1935. The royal couple then settled in Bucharest, and King George II was deposed on 25 March 1924, upon the abolition of the Greek monarchy. The rise of the revolutionary climate, however, affected her health and with great relief she left the Kingdom of Greece with her husband in December 1923. When her husband succeeded to the throne in 1922, Elisabeth was involved in assisting refugees who arrived to Athens after the disaster of the Greco-Turkish War. Married to Prince George, the heir-apparent to the Greek throne in 1921, she felt no passion for him and underwent the political turmoil in her adopted country after World War I. Raised by her grand-uncle King Carol I of Romania and his wife Queen Elisabeth, she was an introvert and socially isolated.
