King Charles Nearing End Faces Roumania’s Future Queen Question

Leopold and Wilhelm previously declined, leaving Ferdinand as heir. Possible regency may shift Roumania’s balance, with national patriotism and fears of aristocratic influence shaping the crisis. In New York, McClellan’s quo warranto case proceeds, with defense outlining his election and oath, and the attorney general presenting the people’s case.
