The Prophetic Interview offered by Queen Mary to a Canadian journalist in early August 1916
Queen Mary dreamed of a great and powerful Romania
The fans of the German press in Bucharest during the dramatic summer of 1916 could read in the Bukarestertagblatt newspaper no. 180 from
Thursday, 10th of August New
Style 1916, meaning 17 days
before Romania's entry into
the Unity War, an article on an
interview Queen Mary offered
to a Canadian journalist who
was passing through the
Capital. It may be that at that
time the interview has gone
unnoticed in those days of
tense waiting for the most
serious decision in the history
of Romania, but reading it
more than a century away we
see that everything that Queen
Mary has said would be
fulfilled point by point,
including some things the royal
family could not possibly want.
