BASED ON REAL FACTS

In 1916 Romania enters World War I.

on the side of France, Russia and the United Kingdom,

moved by the desire to reunite their fragmented provinces

in a United Romania.

despite the initial success in Transylvania

the withdrawal of Russia from the war leaves the country isolated and exposed.

Romanian forces suffer massive losses

After the German invasion fierce that devastates the country

and obliges the government to accept a humiliating treaty.

Although it was never ratified by King Ferdinand,

The treaty now used against Romania

at the Peace Conference in Paris.

The war ended, but there is no hope

fot the international recognition of United Romania.

"MARY, QUEEN OF ROMANIA"

Your Majesty, it would be more amazing to return another day ...

With ambulances recharged.

BUCHAREST SUBURBS February 1919

- Help me with the bread, Baliff. - Our children are starving to death.

There is bread for everyone!

- Atrs, quickly ATRS! - Here they are.

Do not push. There is enough bread for everyone.

Stop pushing!

Please, bread and medicines.

Please, Your Majesty enter the car.

Read tomorrow will bring, more food and medicine. I promise.

God bless you, have mercy on us.

Atrs, maintainance Atrs!

Romania only flourish as an independent country.

Our borders must be restored

those for who were our grandfathers fought and won.

Borders, I remember them, they were promised by our allies

before we went to war.

The promise of great Romania was the essential reason

because we sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives of our soldiers.

Now, gentlemen, we discovered that this promise has been removed

It is absolutely intolerable.

Also, Romania has the legitimate right for freedom ...

Bucarest, Palacio COTROCENI

�S�?

His Majesty wanted to be informed for the Queen's arrival.

Maria.

The next time you leave the palace, no matter where you go,

you must follow protocol and have a full escort for you.

- We live in difficult times. - But they need our help.

Sir your intentions are good and you are eager to help everyone ,

but that doesn't mean that you must endanger your life.

- Please be more cautious. - I am.

Missy, I can't fight you, also!

Thank you.

With me and with whom else?

Our politicians have no power. Negotiations are not going well in Paris.

Maybe they haven't told me all the details.

Maybe they don't want to meet.

Now, the very future of the Great Romania is at stake.

So what do you want to do?

Take back our word?

After thousands of soldiers killed on the front?

No, but all everyone is against us:

England, France, America.

They are deciding our destiny with everyone else.

All hide behind the "Bucharest treaty" with Germany.

Treaty with which I didn't agree, one that I didn't even sign..

Nando, you promised to be the king of the United Romania.

We must respect our word. Remember who you are.

You are a strong king and together we will find a way.

Monsieur Prime Minister. Monsieur Bratianu, come, please!

Your excellence...

Don't you think a more diplomatic approach would be better?

No! You 'll see what happened!

- They make fun of us at the conference! - So, I apologize.

Clemenceau and Lloyd George simply ignore us,

and US President doesn't even know where is Romania on the map.

I am sorry.

I do my best, but I'm only one man.

Do you have any idea?

Majesty, His Highness Prince Stirbey has returned from his trip and asking to see her.

In a moment.

Make it happen.

His majesty, Prince Stirbey.

Majesty...

How was your trip?

Don't get me wrong, I am in favor of the Great Romania,

but now the distances are twice what they used to be..

May we don't have a Big Romania anymore.

Have you read the newspapers?

Those in Paris? Sir. I don't liked to be in the shoes of Bratianu now.

Even so, there must be something we can do.

What can we do? It all depends on the politicians now.

I have an idea. What about if I write my cousin George?

You should have a say something in this, after all, he is the King of England.

What thing?

- Without telling Ferdinand? - No time for that now.

He doesn't let me do anything, anyway.

"Missy, royalty isn't involved in politics.

They are two separate issues.

And he has his reasons.

That's why I doubt your cousin the king can be helpful.

If it were only Bratianu, I am sure we would have made ourselves heard..

Barbu, why I 'm not a man?

Well, you won't hear any complaints from me

that His Majesty is not a man.

But if you join this fight, I'm sure we'll win.

He has the will and the heart of the nation.

His Majesty requires the presence of His Majesty the Prince Stirbey.

Majesty.

My dear cousin George, I write to ask

openly his support for our respectful reception in Paris.

Mother, I'm not a child. you can't force me to do your will.

Carol, darling, please change your attitude..

It is not "my will" but it's your position.

Thank God we stopped the misfortune and the marriage was annulled.

However, even knowing what is at stake, you should still see that woman.

Carol, for God's sake, why?

Because I love her, man! Don't you realize that Zizi is my only happiness?

Nothing can alienate me from it.

But what you know about love?

How can you tell me that?

You know what I've been through?

The point is that we are not "plebeians", we are the royal family.

You have been educated to know the difference.

So, remember who you are.

Stop, ya!

I understand!

Count St. Aulaire is here, he came from Paris.

They still maintain the Treaty of Bucharest with Romanian.

And the Count of San Aulaire what is advising us?

King should send additional help to Pars to save the situation.

- Someone whose voice is heavy. - Who?

We will be the hammered from all.

Bratianu you have to finish what you started!

A woman, even a queen, has no meaning in such a political situation.

It's outrageous!

Sirs! Sirs, please!

Your Excellence, has suggested exactly what queen has to do in Paris?

Good...

Your Majesty may improve the position of Romania.

Considering the urgent current affairs.

You are supported by the Romanian community in Paris,

which for some years it is already quite influential and well organized.

The "Seor Le Flers".

Of course, my fellow journalists and I are

French media is preparing to receive us.

Why don't we not look for an alternative?

Why is it better that I 'm not the one who goes to Paris?

Senior Averescu?

Your Majesty, we need someone with diplomatic experience.

Don't forget that kings don't officially participate in the peace treaties.

It's an absurd idea!

Is the work of politicians to resolve the situation no matter how much it lasts.

My man, Queen will pay such an expensive trip?

- I didn't know that. - Seriously?

Isn't it better to spend your money on aid,

rather than spend it on such a useless trip, Mr. Moscovich?

His Highness, bankers usually invest for profit.

Her Majesty Queen will increase the benefits for Romania.

If His Majesty is according to His Excellency, the Count of Saint-Aulaire,

respectably and I accept his desire to go to Paris.

It has been decided.

Thank you gentlemen.

Gentlemen, we have witnessed a severe violation of the Constitution.

The law clearly stipulates that decisions are taken by the

parties and politicians.

- Okay, right. - Okay, s.

We assume, this time the King has gone too far.

You can not decide that for us, he is exceeding its authority.

This could set a bad precedent.

- We have already sent Bratianu. - l need more support.

In the other hand, send more ministers, not the Queen.

We're risking a lot.

One of his spontaneous outbursts and we will be back in the pro-Bismark era..

Yet our country divided.

I'm not convinced.

It is better Bratianu than the Queen. So far he has done nothing.

You have to let her go!

She speaks their language and knows how to reach them.

What do we do now? Queen being on a train on March 1.

Calm, wait a second.

We do not have the local press from us?

Not all, but yes, the most.

We could commission some articles

to throw serious doubts on the merits of this trip..

What we really need ...

It's the same Prince.

We need to take Carol on our side.

He has a growing influence in the court and could keep his mother in control..

If we promise our support,

it may prove a more flexible king, don't you think?

Maybe that way, can be avoided Queen from going to Paris.

No!

Lord Cantacuzino, gentlemen!

Any news from London?

Unfortunately not.

His Majesty King George hasn't responded to the telegram yesterday.

Please ask to talk to London by telephone.

If we can not contact George, it is in

our embassy, ​​perhaps Joe Boyle is all.

Sir, Your Majesty.

Really you are going to wear these rags of the past century in Paris?

Really you don't have any concern for the fashion?

If you don't want to come with us, you are free to stay home.

Carol told me that you actually go on a political mission to Paris.

Why mediaras something like that?

We communicate with the Lord Boyle by phone.

Thank you.

Joseph, hello. Joe?

Mara, is thatt you?

- Sir, I am. - How are you?

I'm fine, like I said in the telegram yesterday.

- Are you o.k? - Of course.

I'll go to Paris.

These are wonderful news. Tell me, what is that I'll do in Paris?

Not a whole an official visit, but I'll support our cause.

I think it's an extraordinary idea. I bet you'll surprise them in Paris.

Dear Joe, you don't know how much it means to me your trust.

Also I 'll go to London to see Nicky.

- How are you going to Eton? - You are doing great.

Mara, your child is no longer a child. He is a handsome young man with great grace.

I'm very proud of him.

His Excellency the Conde de San Aulaire, and his wife the Marquis de Flers

and they departed for Paris.

- But ... - But?

Your Majesty, please forgive me, it's sure a good idea

Queen is send to such an important mission?

"A good idea?" It's a disaster. A terrible mistake.

You really think you're the most qualified to make that judgment?

The plan is not to exempt from watering, but this is our last chance.

- General, how soon can you leave? - The royal train is ready to leave.

Please notify all official channels,

our press and that in Paris.

Gentlemen, please.

Thank you, I 'll do.

My people saw Carol dining with Zizi Lambrino in Capsa.

After that, they disappeared together at home.

Sir, I have seen before leaving from here her nonconformity.

- And you didn't say anything? - What could I say?

You could talk to stop the nonsense I have with that woman.

I tried, now you have to do it, a talk from father to son.

You know you could serve much in his life.

Everything 'll be all right.

JAMS listen to me. And you know I've tried everything.

And when he gets angry, it is uncontrollable.

You should have spent more time with him when I was a child,

instead of leaving with that odious governess.

As it is now is it my fault?

You conveniently have forgotten about the rules for Carol.

What would I do? Except wait for one day to give step.

- You did? You did? - Okay, both our fault.

- Now what? - Now I'll tell you what we do.

I'll bring our son home.

Then I'll look for an important post

impressive enough to stay interested.

To make him possible far away from Bucharest.

How dare they call you traitor for just loving me?

Beeing queen, try it, Zizi. Show them how justice is done.

What happens?

Please excuse me, madame. Her Majesty the Queen is here.

She demands to speak to His Royal Highness immediately.

I want to clarify something, Your Majesty, I'm not a commoner.

The family of Lambrino are aristocrats.

Dselo, honey. Tell her what I meant for you.

It may not be real family,

but you must understand that Europe and the world is changing.

Russia understood that. No one can reverse history.

Carol really loves me.

I love him with all my heart. I feel happy.

What else could a mother ask for her child?

Carol, dear, I beg you. Leave and come home with me.

Honey, tell him what I mean to you. Please.

If you want to be worthy of your role as heir to the throne of Romania,

you're going to raise now and return with me to the palace.

Now, Carol.

Why?

Because I'm the heir? Do you understand?

Since it is like that, I want you to know

that the King has appointed your brother as the new heir to the crown.

- Can she do that? Can you? - You do agree!

Do you? Nicky 'll take my crown?

Nicky's "a fucking nobody"!

Adnde going? Do not go please.

How far you can go, mother.

Father! Father! Father?

Father!

Sir.

- Have you agreed to that? - A what?

To put Nicky on the throne if I keep seeing Zizi?

Carol, your mother and I have discussed this and decided

the best thing for you right now is to go to Transylvania.

You are en-charged on the relief supplies foundations of your mother.

It's not enough to destroy us Zizi yam,

are you sending me to the other side of the country?

What am I to take the bread of the poor?

No, you'll bring relief to the less fortunate ones.

Mother is going on a trip to Paris with my sisters,

Nicky is in the pattern for London,

and you send me, your firstborn, to the provinces.

Carol, you'll behave as it benefits for a future king,

showing compassion and concern for the fate of your people.

It that clear?

Dear Diary:

I feel that everyone has put their hopes in me on this trip.

But will I succeed? Could I bring the victory we need to my people?

It is strange to me as I'm prepared to fight for the unity of my country,

it seems that I almost lost my family unit.

It's not that really that should be fighting so?

Nando, are you awake?

I couldn't sleep, I keep thinking about this trip.

What do you mean?

Missy, I need you to be careful.

Don't misunderstand me, but sometimes you win the passion.

Always take the advice of St. Aulaire.

If you want to go give a speech to the press,

Bratianu let you advise.

They are there for you, let them quide you.

But please, don't improvise.

Don't trust me.

Nando, but you agreed.

It's not about that, but ...

The stakes are high, even political experts haven't been successful.

No regrets.

We can not have doubts now.

I am determined to be successful and achieve results.

Nando, you'll see. The truth is

unshakable, isn't it?

- Do you want to spend the night here? - We both need rest.

See you in the morning.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

PARS, Gare de Lyon

Misu sir, I'm glad to see you again.

The joy and honor are we, Your Majesty.

- Lord Bratianu, what pleasure. - Welcome, Your Majesty.

No they can't

He has been out of Pars days ago, but he's back tomorrow.

Thank you.

- Lord Bratianu, a moment. - Your Majesty.

Is my presence here in Paris upsetting you?

At all.

I want to be honest.

I do not want to mediate in politics.

She heard he was shopping.

Nerd. My diary is convinced that came for peace talks.

Peace talks? And what about Braianu?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Queen Mary of Romania!

It's a pleasure to know.

On behalf of the French and foreign press,

we would like to welcome you to Paris, Your Majesty.

Thank you. Please join us.

I came to make sure I do it properly.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

- Your Majesty? - Your Majesty?

His Majesty, Bernard Fresh, The New York Times. What places will you visit in Paris?

More than places, I'm visiting people.

Good People, interested in helping our country

Thank you, Your Majesty.

- Your Majesty? - Your Majesty?

Wickham Steed, The Times in London. Participate in peace talks?

Sadly no, but please inform the politicians

that if they need my advice i'll be happy to help.

They 'll be informed, madame.

From last year, more and more attention is paid to women in England.

Maybe it's time for the rest of the world follow them.

Clearly it is.

Paul Bratanu, from Romania.

Have you had the opportunity to speak with Prime Minister Bratianu?

- All in due time. - Thank you.

Valbelle, The Journal.

What is the main purpose of his coming to Paris, Your Majesty?

My main goal is to gather support for my people.

I am here to appeal to the kindness of your country

and gather as much support as possible for our new nation.

Our soldiers fight an in front of Transylvania.

On the table, please.

Thank you.

Queen Mary loves reporters.

Queen is in a party in Paris.

External policy is deviating subject to internal policy.

Where are the aid wagons promised by the Queen?

Queen of Romania dazzles Paris.

Queen Mara seduces reporters.

It's very beautiful, is not it?

It's only a woman flaunting her wardrobe in Paris.

He doesn't look like his grandmother at all.

Queen Victoria's force was something we had to acknowledge.

Some admire her and others criticize her.

That's what you have in common with politicians.

I am very pressured by everyone around me to give you a hearing.

It's very persistent.

- I feel I'm being hunted. - You're not the only one.

- Majesty. - Prime Minister.

Your Majesty.

Majesty, just arrived and is already Pars at his feet.

It may be, but news talk very little about my request for help.

They seem more interested in my social agenda or in my closet.

But I find the same journalistic concern

clothing for Lloyd George, Clemenceau or any other dignitary.

- You know what the Americans say. - What say?

Any publicity is good publicity.

Good...

I guess if you want to be Oda, must be first sight.

What do you think?

Pudiramos find something in Parsa Lisbeh what to do?

What is in your mindin mind?

Given their passion for music, perhaps you could study singing or piano.

- Find something, for how long? - Until he finds a suitable husband.

His great contribution to the war and the great unification.

Romanian territories are currently under Austro-Hungarian occupation.

On behalf of the Supreme Council is decided

that the special interest of Romania should be handled by dedicated committees.

Invited the following partners to speak, please.

Gentlemen, how are things going with the peace talks?

It's a farce, Your Majesty.

Four Great Powers divide the world as they please.

Now that the Ottoman Empire disappeared, the new powers dismantle the grounds

with no consideration for anyone.

What about my meeting with Prime Minister Clemenceau?

My apologies, Your Majesty. Please wait for a few more days.

Clemenceau seems to avoid me.

"El Tigre", as they called him, knows exactly what I want from him.

"El Tigre"?

Majesty, have communication with Prncipe Stirbey in Buftea.

Right away.

Please arrange the meeting.

Thank you.

My dear Barbu. How's everything at home?

Carol has come to Transylvania and Zizi. He stood in Bucharest.

Apparently he doesn't like such a journey.

Sir, yesterday he spoke with Nando. It was pretty tense.

The government is responsible for your trip to Paris.

But I thought everyone agreed Haban.

Yes and no. The opposition is protesting saying:

"The Queen is partying in Pars while the country is in famine."

So, I will. Please report to the Government

the first shipment of relief supplies is leaving the morning for Romania.

Clothing for the poor and food. Medicines and hospital equipment follow.

That will appease them a little.

Thank you for being direct as ever. You talk later.

Good luck.

Thank you.

He was the Chief of the General Staff of Clemenceau, the General Mordacq.

It is impossible, Your Majesty, have more than 20 minutes. Please stop.

20 minutes isn't much.

Gentlemen, I need all the information they have about "El Tigre".

- Caf, Your Majesty? - Tea, please.

An apology, I forgot from where you come from.

Bring tea, please.

- How did you find Paris, Your Majesty? - Splendid, but very busy.

As it is.

Monsieur Prime Minister, we are very grateful to France

for their help during the war.

As you know, thousands of soldiers have given their lives in front,

but it seems that their sacrifice was in vain.

Romanian traditionally enjoyed respect and favor of the French,

I was surprised with as much knowledge

You don't even have the attention which deserves in peace talks.

His Majesty, Rumana signed the Treaty of Bucharest last year

with the Germans and that was a colossal mistake.

Therefore, the allies no longer feel compelled

to respect the territorial promises of 1916.

Lord, I remind you that the Treaty

It was signed under German occupation and was never ratified by the King.

We were abandoned and surrounded,

waiting in vain for help from France and England.

Despite all that, we remain loyal to the Allies.

The king had to act even against his own family, Mr. Clemenceau

and still hold on to the treaty unofficially with Germany.

Perdneme, Mr. Clemenceau, but it does not make sense

followed by removing most of your limited time.

Your Majesty, do not cry.

It makes no sense to rush these important issues.

Please sit down.

For you I have all the time in the world.

The policy is an intricate quite game.

But you seem to learn pretty fast, isn't it?

I came to you as a simple woman ...

Which it happens to be the Queen of a country destroyed by war.

I hope that a man of his position with considerable influence,

can you help me to see justice done, Mr. Clemenceau.

Justice? In what is that exactly?

Just what belongs to us:

From Transylvania to Tisa, Besarabia, Dobrogea and Banat.

All territories inhabited by Romanians.

That's all?

Bessarabia is a Russian problem, but I think it could be solved.

Dobrogea is already being discussed, probably Romania will retrieve it.

Transylvania is a different matter.

Relations with Hungary are deteriorating at this time.

But all Banat?

He really claims the chair of Lion, Your Majesty.

That is why, Prime Minister,

Lioness has come to see her cousin the tiger.

While I can not promise anything, I express my deep admiration.

I'm flattered by her admiration, but I want something more concrete.

Thanks for your time, Mr. Prime Minister.

Dear Nando, I had my first big test today.

I getting together with Clemenceau.

Both were very direct,

but I'm not sure if he is willing or if he can help.

If only you were here with me

You've probably talked better than me to understand our misfortune.

I miss your guidance a lot.

I hope it will be easier with my countrymen.

Today I have lunch with Lloyd George.

- Lleana, my love, what happened? - I had a nightmare.

- What do you expect? - I don't remember.

- okay, stay with me. - Good evening, Your Majesty.

It was only a dream. Now you are with me, okay?

That happens in life also.

We have nightmares, but fortunately we also have good dreams.

The secret is to hold on to the good and forget the bad.

Lloyd George planed the way we sat, by the way.

As is, the countries of the Balkans are water and land, I don't know what they want.

On the contrary, Prime Minister, Romania knows exactly what he wants.

You must hear Bratianu's speech in peace talks.

Sir, clear. It was a splendid speech.

Your Majesty, I have heard that is enjoying a great vacation in Paris.

I'm glad you're lucky enough to enjoy such a good climate.

We both know well that we are not here

to talk about the weather, Mr. Prime Minister.

No, no, of course.

I knew also received the distinction of the Academy of Fine Arts.

Congratulations, madame.

The question is whether the British will honor

the sacrifice made by the Romanian people during the war.

I think His Majesty King George V could answer better than me.

As you know, my cousin can't be here.

Therefore, I direct my request directly to you, sir,

to take into account the urgent needs of Romania.

- Well, you transmit the request. - A Queen exactly?

Have you heard of the latest talks between the Arabs?

It seems that now we have stalled because of a few acres of desert.

It's ridiculous.

Be careful where you draw the boundaries, Mr. Prime Minister.

The consequences can be felt in a hundred years.

Thank you for your generous invitation to lunch.

Unfortunately, we gotta go. Other delegations await us,

people who take seriously the fate of Romania.

Anyone want more wine?

- Your Majesty! - How was the meeting?

Your Majesty!

Paris love her.

In what I can help?

The Peace Treaty is drafted by the 4: USA, UK, France, Italy,

and submitted for signature to the delegates.

Elena...

Please prepare my luggage. We go to London.

Sir, Your Majesty.

He is really claiming the chair of the Lion, isn't that so, Your Majesty??

No improvises...

But if you get into the fight ...

Honrarn the britnicos the sacrifice of the Romanian people during the war?

His Majesty King George V could answer better than me.

LONDON, BUCKINGHAM PALACE

My dear May, we've not seen in a long time.

As it is. Tell me Mara, how is Paris in these days?

Frightfully busy.

Remember the exhibition? Three times more crowded.

Because the Germans bastards. Nearly they destroyed Europe.

I'm a very nice guy. Take a stick, which can come Cot.

What strange, strange qu! The doll is dead, and that's how is done.

Exactly

- How it is called, Winsor? - Come here, princess. I'll explain.

And and.

Very good. Yes it is.

Well, during the war the Germans bombed London

with a large plane called Gotha-GIV, a name

which seemed to be part of our name.

- Albert, Prince Consort. - Right.

Because of the war, nobody wanted more the Germans here,

as that two years ago, decided to change our name to "Windsor".

Always the damned Germans! Only bring trouble!

Cario, Djame I remind you that you have German blood too.

We were the Windsor family for quite some time.

We are not and will never be German!

Is Ahab, is a new era for our family.

- But why Windsor? - It is a beautiful castle.

When you marry, you will live there with your wife?

Good...

If she chooses it.

Who chooses your wife? Your parents?

Well, Princess, I want to choose my future wife myself.

And do not listen to that, I assure you!

You know Nicky had permission, so you will be here on Saturday.

That's wonderful!

- Like London? - Much. Thank you.

May, I think. We can find a good school in London to Mignon?

I take care of that, we can be sure to find you something you like.

Mary tell me, what worries you?

Romania has suffered terribly from war and in some way is your fault.

We have the help of England when we were under siege.

Unfortunately, we could not do anything.

I do not ask you to go back time. I ask you to help us now.

I envy you, struggles with such passion for your Rumana.

George, please, do not be patronizing me. T fighting for your country.

Sir, but I was born here.

Inherited the crown of my family and all are born here for generations.

I know the habits, political games,

the outlook and character of the entourage.

What?

You tied yourself to a completely foreign country and gave it all your heart..

George, do something to help.

You know that there is very little you can do,

we are a constitutional monarchy like yours.

I think I can speak with your old friend, Churchill.

But Mara, please, in the future prevents

your political sign more treaties with the Germans ....

Thank you, George. Thank you.

I said, you stop talking as I remember my first husband.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

- Mary, dear! - Nancy!

I am very happy to see you again! Thanks!

No thanks.

- Joe, dear friend. - Your Majesty.

Every year that passes is more beautiful.

And t more charming.

Nancy, where's Waldorf? Thought to come with you.

Senta unfortunately not good. He said he would apologize.

Cuntame what have you done in Paris so far.

I'm afraid not much, it's like pushing against a brick wall.

Dear, it's time for women to make their voices heard directly.

Not stop until you get a seat in Parliament in London.

And you, Mary, you have to explain what to be done for your country

from an official position, not from lounges, restaurants and hotels.

- Your Majesty. - Thank you.

Kings can not do what politicians. You know, it's just here.

Who gave you the biggest headaches?

Quin has made me not? Lloyd George cavalierly ignores me.

Clemenceau is hiding behind his courtly,

and Wilson simply can not be contacted.

Make Lloyd George in front of your authority as queen.

All English are equal.

Reprimand them harshly and they will bow before the superiors..

What about Wilson, Mr. Boyle?

Well, on the one hand it is an unknown conservative,

On the other hand, respects much

the enrgicas women who are not afraid to fight for their ideas.

And His Majesty is certainly a strong woman.

The policy is undoubtedly an intricate game.

That's right, dear, you can not play the game if you do not know the rules.

I am quite sure that jugars the game to win.

Friends, guests, acrquense. I'd like to introduce you to a dear friend.

An intrepid adventurer.

Mara, do not want to worry you, but I must be honest.

The Hungarian danger in Transylvania has worsened.

The Hungarians Bolsheviks have crossed the border

and they are devastating entire towns and villages.

King has already asked for help from the General Berthelot.

Probably we have to bring Carol to Bucharest.

Try to win as many allies as possible to the Romanian cause,

otherwise our country will fall apart.

I admire with all my heart.

I love you, my Mara.

Hello, mam. Nicky, m rate.

You are handsome! Come sit down.

Finally, we can talk in peace. It's very depressing when George is here.

- In fact, I really like. - To what do you mean?

Exactly what I said. I like being here at Eton.

I made some friends and do not want to return to Romania.

Why?

Because here it is as if war had never been.

It's very civilized.

I hated the terrible years of war, exile miserable cowards.

Why he wants to return to that poor country, ugly and backward?

Qu will do in Bucharest surrounded by miserable political

who they spend fighting?

My own brother does not love me at all, mother.

You want to wait to act on this impulse?

Girls, vmonos a while. Ileana.

I have no future in that hole you call pas mother.

Of course I'm glad ests happy here in England.

I was not surprised to see our war and exile as well.

PARS, FRANCE

His Majesty, Prime Minister Bratianu.

Thank you.

Your Majesty.

- Bratianu Lord, please take a seat. - Thank you, I prefer standing.

How to leave the peace talks?

No one dir nothing while the US President He is not convinced.

When you open your mouth all hush.

What?

Majesty months since it's the same routine:

Every day we will Quai d'Orsay, like all dems delegations.

Each reiterates its desires and present their claims over and over again.

We negotiate, we cite examples histricos, pressed and what do they do?

They eat, drink, smoke and simply ignore us,

and spends another day without progress or decisions.

Please forgive my temper. Being honest, he wished to resign.

Senior Bratianu ...

I have been here much less time and have achieved even less, but ...

Believe me if I had resigned also possible.

His Majesty, a telegram from Lloyd George.

Open it, please.

He is requesting a hearing.

Waiting morning to noontime in the "Le Tour DArgent" restaurant.

Please tell us here to meet at the same time at the reception.

Sir, Your Majesty.

Welcome, Mr. Lloyd George.

Thank you.

You want some tea or perhaps something stronger?

A cup of coffee will be fine. Thank you.

I understand that this is an emergency, Your Majesty?

We discussed the current situation with King George and Lord Churchill.

We all found time to reach

a satisfactory understanding of the political situation of Romania.

I think also told him about that information.

The urgent problem is the same: the recognition of the United Romania.

I promised Mr Churchill to take care of the problem of their country.

Do you mean it?

Well, in principle ...

Most of my colleagues are of the opinion

that the United Romania will bring stability to the region ...

Especially now, in the light of the Bolshevik threat.

Now that you fully understand

In our view we have been supporting for 3 months ...

What seems to be the problem?

Good...

See, President Wilson seems to have an unshakable opinion Of Romania.

I said to the authority of the president of the United States to which it is subject?

Not tell in those terms, Your Majesty.

It's complicated, there are subtle differences diplomticas.

I am very familiar with diplomacy!

I want to know what is the position of England on the Romanian cause!

Your Majesty, we will give the highest priority.

Well.

Thank you, Prime Minister. Dir Enjoy your stay in our conversation that much.

We hope his vehement support for the Romanian cause.

And nothing more ... I am the granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

JAMS forget that.

That was ... really interesting.

Seor Mass.

There is a meeting with war invalids in the Franco-American workshop today.

First Lady of the US, Edith Wilson, is the guest of honor.

I am trying.

Mrs. Wilson, I would like to be honest with you ...

I came here because I need your support.

Of course. How can I help you, Your Majesty?

Since I came to Paris,

I tried but in vain, to meet with her husband.

I do not want to be inopportune,

but I was wondering if I could talk to respect for m.

Considrelo done.

I make sure that my husband finds time

to sit with Queen Mary, the heroine of Romania.

Thank you.

A photo? Why not?

"LILY OF LIFE"

Loie Fuller did incredible.

I liked very much the fairy tale written by you, Your Majesty.

It was wonderful, no?

No, no, caf, caf.

I understand, Mr. President, your time is very limited.

Please permtanme highlight some quick things.

First, I admire the visionary idea of ​​the League of Nations.

It is a fundamental project for the future peace of the world.

It is one of my special projects.

And it is essential, especially for pequeos passes.

Loa which we expect to remain pequeos.

I think the League of Nations to give a new feeling of power

passes facing chaos left by the war.

Especially with the Bolshevik threat.

I remind the essential role

a large and powerful Rumana in the fight against this threat.

The theme of the United Rumana has been touched several times in the peace talks.

- But his Minister, how is called? - Ion Bratianu.

That. Neither the French nor the British were able to convince me.

Now, with all due respect, you think you can make me change my opinin?

You do not believe that it is better

continue to be the queen that all journalists love and admire ...

And leave the politics to the politicians?

Lord President, I imagine

that it is overwhelmed by the dozens of applications received daily.

And it is not always easy to make the right decisions.

As it is, for months we have received delegates from many different countries.

Everyone wants new frontiers,

but most of their applications are purely utpicas.

In fact, Europe will be much better as a federation, like the United States.

A congress, a president, much less problems.

Exactly.

So simple solucinms is the recognition of the Great Rumana.

Especially as is the desire of our people.

Your Majesty, what about ethnic minorities?

She heard that his country has serious problems with them.

The restless minorities are a reality worldwide.

No, no, I'm talking about Romania,

of its minorities and give them the Romanian citizen.

I'm sure he knows the report and the Lord Bratianu

remember that I had such problems during the German occupation.

Currently, all minorities have received their rights.

Look, why not come and convince?

I would love to see him with his wife to visit my country.

Of course, I liked it a lot

receive a pacific and united Romanian.

S if this is not quite correct.

Lord President, is a wonderful country.

From the mountains with slopes to the Danube Delta.

From ancient fortresses to magnficos monasteries of the north.

Not to mention all the natural wealth:

Soil, unspoilt forests, water and much, much oil. Fertile

I see. Well, if your country is so rich,

Then why people starve?

For riches of my country were looted by the Germans.

And now, the danger Bolshevik

it can spread like the plague throughout Europe.

I remind you, Mr. President, last year

destroyed the Romanov family, part of my family.

Therefore, it is of interest to all European nations

as US stop them.

You know why I can not and I will not

rest until I save my country from the oppression.

With your help or without it.

Majesty, take back his certainty that knows how to express his idea.

See what I can do.

Thank you.

Nando was about to call you.

You were going to call me?

Sorry, to what do you mean?

Cundo exactly planning on telling me that

you agreed to our daughters move to other countries?

And you assumed you decide your fate?

Well, you never thought you cared about these issues.

Well, you thought wrong, s me interested in those topics.

You do not think you have major concerns

the place where Lisbeth Sern Mignon and educated?

What worries me now is that ests taking too many decisions alone.

Remember that your first priority is to be a good mother to your children.

Nando, really what this is about?

I feel very isolated, Missy.

My Prime Minister has been absent for many months.

I spend days waiting for news and one nights.

Digress with the same thoughts over and over again.

I need you here, Missy, next to me.

I hear you, Nando.

Ir home.

Thank you my dear friend. You were a great help to our cause.

Saba to conquer Paris.

- Thank you, Mr. Bratianu. - Your Majesty.

Prime Minister sir, what honor to see him again.

The honor is all mo. Pars always welcome.

Perhaps back in happy times ms.

Algrese, Your Majesty.

He has left a great footprint here, perhaps much greater than you think.

And Djeme give a tip of the Tiger to Leona:

Never give up the fight.

Thank you.

I have given our country a vivid image.

I have the promises of Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George and Clemenceau

that reconsiderarn their positions relative to the Great Rumana.

And we went back, you know, with many loads of food and equipment.

Bravo.

Bravo, mother.

They did not expect applause?

I thought that s.

Let's see ... you returned from Paris with promises of politicians.

And creste? Even worse, you expect also create them?

Djame tell the truth about your journey, mother.

It was useless.

Worse, while you were prowling around Pars,

seguamos fighting here in Transylvania.

Maybe you were too busy parading your new clothes in fancy restaurants.

Well, Djame say that Blah Kun and his Bolsheviks came to Budapest

and they have been killing people right and left.

What's that for a "living image" mother?

Nobody told you?

Tenan perhaps fear of ruining your party.

But I tell you now: Your trip was a total waste of time and money.

Ms someone here agrees with that?

What happens, Father? Ests also upset?

Djenme in peace, please.

Dear, Nando, I think is best for

both in Pelisor me to stay for a while.

This is how I can be alone with my thoughts

and analyze the situation more closely.

He returned the raw ms fight of my life

ms harder than exile, war, hospitals in the front,

atrev and I think that had won.

Pars enfrent superficiality, maliciousness, dishonesty desdny,

all without blinking because he knew how much my people needed my victory.

And when he finally fingertips.Registering and brought it home as a precious gift,

my own son and husband crushed me more

painfully that all I had to endure indifference in Paris.

Too many times I have yielded to your needs and desires, Nando.

Too often listened to my sense of duty

and confidence in the team that the two branches.

no longer ms.

Now take what I need, time and distance According needed.

And at the end, I hope to find the right way to go.

Come, come.

You went to the woods?

- And what did you find? - Snails and flowers.

- �Qu� m�s? - M�s flores.

- you have a good? - S.

- And what you picked? - Flowers.

�Y qu� m�s?

Let's go girls.

Before you say anything, please, escchame.

S you need space. S and disappointed that wound ests.

You left it very clear in your letter, but we can talk?

You know what's ironic, Missy?

We all admire, but they have no idea

what we went through to get here.

It was not even our decision to casramos us.

Apenanos nos conocamos, recuerdas?

Even tena to have this throne.

We had to come to this foreign country. The to Carol, war ...

But after all I think we did pretty well.

We have five healthy children.

And most importantly we have been together.

Listen, Missy, I regret not being fair to you.

Ms deserve. You deserve all the admiration worldwide.

To be honest, I'm grateful to have you as my lifemate life.

As the mother of my children as my Queen.

I admire your confidence and dynamism.

I guess I'm trying to say is that ...

I love you, Missy. In my own way, but with all my heart.

I think we are more stronger together.

However, there is something more I came to tell you.

Qu what?

I have wonderful news of Paris, Saint-Aulaire.

The wind is blowing in our favor.

Against all pronsticos we have succeeded.

�Ganaste, Missy! �Ganaste!

And now you tell me?

If I had said from the beginning, you had not odo the rest.

In June 1919,

the Treaty of Versailles ending World War.

Allied powers recognized the union of all Romanian territories.

In June 1920,

after hundreds of years, it became a reality the dream of a United Rumana.

At that time, Rumana have arrived

the most extensive borders ever had.

In October 1922, in Alba Iulia

King Ferdinand and Queen Mara were

crowned monarchs of Great Rumana.
