Regina Maria a României is an art bust in Timișoara, dedicated to Queen Marie of Romania and her public legacy.

The sculpture recalls Princess Marie of Edinburgh, who was born in England.

She arrived in Romania as Crown Prince Ferdinand’s wife and entered public life through culture, charity, and royal service.

Marie became queen during the First World War.

She visited the front, encouraged wounded soldiers, and supported Romania’s cause during the conflict.

Her wartime presence earned her the name Mother Queen.

After the war, she represented Romania abroad through journeys to France and Great Britain.

She advocated for Transylvania and Banat during postwar diplomacy.

The bust connects Timișoara with Romanian royal history and Queen Marie’s influence on national culture.

Her life included Bran Castle, Balchik, and Cotroceni Palace.

Marie wrote children’s books and autobiographical works, including The Story of My Life.

She supported her grandson King Michael after King Ferdinand’s death.

This memorial brings together wartime service, family duty, diplomacy, and Romanian cultural identity.
