Funeral for Queen Anne of Romania

(13 Aug 2016) Thousands of Romanians turned out on Saturday for the funeral of the woman they call Queen Anne, the wife of Michael, the last king of Romania.
Romania and neighbouring Moldova both observed a national day of mourning on Saturday for Anne.
Soldiers placed her royal flag-draped coffin on a catafalque outside a cathedral in a park in Curtea de Arges.
A phalanx of Orthodox priests sung the funeral liturgy addressing her as "Queen Anne".
Following a short private service, she was buried inside the unfinished brick cathedral.
Anne died on August 1 in Switzerland at the age of 92.
Anne's 94-year-old husband Michael, who has cancer and lives in Switzerland, didn't attend the funeral on the advice of doctors.
Anne first visited the country when she was nearly 70 and did not speak the language. Yet many here respect her for her 68-year marriage to Michael, whom she wed months after the communists forced him to abdicate in 1947.

Her husband was devastated by her death. He died just a year later.

"of the woman they call Queen Anne"? really?! this is outrageous! shame on you. Her Majesty, God rest her in peace, was de jure our Queen! Unfortunately politics interposed between royalty and country.
