Summary/Abstract: Magda Lupescu (born Elena Lupescu; 3/15 September 1899 – 29 June 1977), later officially known as Princess Elena of Romania, was the mistress and later wife of King Carol II of Romania. // The love between Carol II and "Duduia" Elena Lupescu made history. The redheaded mistress was said to be the face of sin crowned in red strands, the gray eminence behind the ten years of Carol's reign. She characterized herself simply: "I am the woman with red hair who passionately loves Carol". // It is the essence of my life, it is the divine talisman and in times of difficulty it is my ultimate refuge. This love is such that I cannot even imagine life without it. I desperately need her, moment by moment. It is indispensable to me. It is flesh of my flesh. This woman brings me infinite joy", said Carol II about Elena Lupescu, the woman for whom he renounced the throne of Romania. [published in 1918 by Editura »Jurnal de București«]
