Constantine & Sophie "bitter toward America"




February 2, 1920

The London Daily News has reported that former King Constantine and Queen Sophie of the Hellenes did not attend the wedding of his younger brother, Prince Christopher, to Mrs. William Leeds because of Sophie's attitude toward the United States. 


 The article, reported by the New York Times, states that "Ex-Queen Sophia, it seems, lays the blame for all her misfortunes at the door of America, as personified by President Wilson. The recent gift of a diamond tiara 'from a wealthy American lady' whose identity is easy to guess today has in no wise placated her."
