How about a video for her sister, Alexandra, probably the least well-known of the siblings?

@cc1945 You'll try to made one.

[cc1945]

@lostsplendour You mean you'll try to make one.

@cc1945 I mean I'm trying to make one about her since but the main problem is the material. There is not a lot of photo about her because she was a minor royal. So I'm still searching some materials.

The music is lovely. What is it?

[lostsplendour]

@robert3302 It's "Piesn Heleny" from the OST of "Ogniem I Mieczem".

Queen Mary of Romania was not only a very beautiful and intelligent woman, but also a very brave woman, who played a very important role in uniting all the Romanian provinces into one single country - Romania Mare = Great Romania. Romanians loved her and called her "our mother", especially the wounded soldiers during the war. We still love her and the royal house of Romania!

Te binecuvantez, iubita Romanie, tara bucuriilor si durerilor mele, frumoasa tara, care ai trait in inima mea si ale carei carari le-am cunoscut toate. Frumoasa tara pe care am vazut-o intregita, a carei soarta mi-a fost ingaduit sa o vad implinita. Fii tu vesnic imbelsugata, fii tu mare si plina de cinste, sa stai vesnic falnica printre natiuni, sa fii cinstita, iubita si priceputa.

I can see why George V wanted to marry her. He knew she'd be a great catch.
