Queen Marie of Romania describing king George V and queen Mary to an american correspodent in 1934 after visiting England that year:

"George has always kept an especial affection for me. I stimulate him, my uncrushable vitality makes the blood course more quickly through his veins. May feels it also. She likes being with me, and then I am never heavy on their hands. I know so perfectly how to look after myself and be happy over everything, finding interests everywhere . . .

"May. . . is fundamentally tidy, orderly, disciplined. She likes possessing, collecting, putting things in order. . . She looks into things in detail and is an excellent and vigilant housewife. She has excellent appetite, excellent health, and sleeps beautifully. . . . Both she and George are scrupulously polite, but their demonstrations of pleasure or affection are always restrained and decorous. You can think, as contrast, impulsive, uncalculating, unconventional me. I am always astonished that they really like me, but they do!"

Excerpt from "The last romantic : a biography of Queen Marie of Roumania" by Hannah Pakula

The photo is just for illustration because it dates to 1924, when queen Marie visited England with her husband King Ferdinand I of Romania
