Queen Elena of Italy, mother-in-law of Princess Marie-José

Here is an article about the generous and charitable Montenegrin princess who became the mother of the last King of Italy, Umberto II, and, therefore, the mother-in-law of Marie-José of Belgium.

A fascinating biography of Queen Elena by Luciano Regolo may be found, in limited preview, here.

The love of one's neighbors, the sense of duty, truth, and justice, if applied to daily life, would spare mankind countless sufferings, troubles, and anxieties ...

The solution of the problems which oppress the world can only be found in the practice of Charity between individuals and between nations.

-Leopold III, King of the Belgians, 1936
