Queen of Romania as the wife of King Ferdinand I.
Born into the British royal family, she was titled Princess Marie of

Princess between 1893 and 1914, and became immediately popular with
the Romanian people.After the outbreak of World War I, Marie urged
Ferdinand to ally himself with the Triple Entente and declare war on
Germany, which he eventually did in 1916. During the early stages of
fighting, Bucharest was occupied by the Central Powers and Marie,
Ferdinand and their five children took refuge in Moldavia.On 1 December

united with the Old Kingdom
