Here you are:



   
   1.Michael HOHENZOLLERN, King of Romania 

Family 3: Elena (Magda) LUPESCU

Marriage 
     3 JUN 1947, Rio de Janerio, Brazil 

NOTES: Became King of Romania in 1930. Crown Prince Carol of Romania (the
future King Carol II) renounced the
throne in 1925 for the sake of his divorced mistress Madame Lupescu. Carol's
career had been packed with scandal,
causing his father, King Ferdinand, to say of him on his deathbed, "Carol is
like a Swiss cheese, excellent for what it is, but
so full of holes". Carol's five-year old son Michael was proclaimed king in
1927 after Ferdinand's death. Three years later
Carol was reinstated as monarch, but was deposed in 1940 by the Romanian
dictator Antonescu and went into exile;
Michael became King once more and reigned for seven years.


and I found a title in the library catalogue: Carol II und Madame Lupescu /
Joachim von Kaerenberg, Bonn, Athenaeum, 1952
