Michael returned to Romania, but was forced to abdicate by the communists in December 1947. He went into exile, and returned after communism ended; Anne's first visit to Romania was at Easter 1992.
- The couple got married in an Orthodox ceremony in Athens in 1948, after Pope Pius XII refused to give Anne dispensation to marry a non-Catholic (Michael is Romanian Orthodox).
