The relationship between Queen Maria and King Ferdinand 

expressed quite real was reported by Martha Bibescu: 

"This glowing being, of course the most beautiful princess and perhaps the most beautiful woman in Europe at that time, was made to eclipses. I realize, over the years, that she has helped to achieve fate through the contrast between the orbiting neighbor and the shadow that this man is looking for for his sacrifice .. Being the queen's husband is a difficult role to play even when you are a king, he held him for thirty-six years, and was grateful to the end of that which leaves him all shadow because it was light. "

 Arthur Gould Lee, British senior officer and writer about Maria:   

"People were enthusiastic about her exuberance and admired her spirit, especially the incredible courage demonstrated during the 1913 Balkan wars, when she not only fainted through the first-line trenches under the beating of fire, but she showed a fearless disgust that came out of in the face of contagious diseases in hospitals. "She did not care about the risks, she was standing at the end of the young soldiers who died of the cholera, shedding tears for each of them, holding his younger dying man for hours, telling him all the sincerity as she replaced her mother, and then, when she saw the end of her coming, taking her arms and leaning her head on her shoulder until she gave her soul. "
