NOTES




1 -- King Carol's first marriage (in 1918, to Zizi Lambrino) was performed according to the rites of the (Russian) Orthodox Church. The subsequent annulment of this marriage (in 1919) was a civil, not religious, process. King Carol's subsequent religious marriages appear to have been bigamous.



2 -- The Los Angeles Times of 9 June 1957 p. 37 mentions that Mircea Carol Lambrino, 37, "plans to marry" Jeanne Williams, in her 20s, when his divorce becomes final. Jeanne is described as "the niece of Woodland Kahler, heir to the New York banking fortune of his father."



2 b -- See http://www.nettyroyal.nl/newsmar04.html.



3 -- For information on his wife, Lia, see, for example, http://search.sfweekly.com/2000-04-12/news/battle-belli/print.



3 b -- Note that at the time of Carol Ferdinand's birth, his father was age 61 and his mother was age 60.
