Biography: Queen Marie was born Marie Alexandra Victoria on October 29, 1875 in Kent,
England. She was the daughter of Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and the former
Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia. Marie was the granddaughter
of Queen Victoria and married Ferdinand of Romania in 1893. Marie, who
became Queen of the Romanians in 1914, was popular among the Romanian public
and served as a nurse during World War I. Queen Marie had six children
of which Princess Ileana was fifth, being born in 1909. Queen Marie died
in 1938.
Princess Ileana and her husband, Anton Habsburg, Archduke of Austria,
also had six children with Stefan being the oldest. Princess Ileana moved
to the United States after her deportation from the communist state of
Romania. Divorcing Anton, she moved her family to Newton, Massachusetts
and began a writing career and made several public appearances to support
the family. Much of her writing reflected on her life in Romania and her
mother. Princess Ileana entered
the religious life in 1959 and founded the Monastery of the Transfiguration, an Orthodox convent located in Pennsylvania, in 1968. She eventually became known as Mother Alexandra. She died in 1991.
Scope and Content: The bulk of the Queen Marie of Romania papers date from 1918-1991 and contain correspondence, photograph albums,
newspaper clippings, personal belongings and other miscellaneous items
of Queen Marie and her daughter, Princess Ileana. This collection documents the Romanian royal family's personal and public activities during much of the 20th century including Queen Marie's involvement during World War I, her trip to the United States and Canada in 1926 and her death in 1938. It also documents Princess Ileana's activities during World War II, her exile from Romania and her church involvement. In addition, the collection contains literary pieces by Romanian authors and poets, literary
journals, newspapers and books. The collection was
donated in several installments, and at varying times by Queen Marie, Princess
Ileana, Stefan Habsburg (the son of Ileana) and Ray Baker Harris. The collection was processed at the item level.
Throughout the inventory Ileana is referred
to as Princess Ileana rather than Mother Alexandra. Attempts have been made when possible to put in parenthesis the relationship
of an individual to Princess Ileana or Queen Marie.
Statement of Arrangement: This collection has been divided into eight series. Series 1 includes correspondence of Queen Marie, documents related to Queen Marie, and materials collected by researchers Hector Bolitho and Ray Baker Harris memorializing and documenting Queen Marie's life. Series 2 contains correspondence of and documents related to Princess Ileana. Series 3 contains photographs, photograph albums and scrapbooks documenting Queen Marie, Princess Ileana and the Romanian royal family.
