Editing Michael I of Romania (section)

==Life in exile==
Michael would never see his father again, after Carol II's 1940 abdication. Michael could see no point in meeting his father who had humiliated his mother so many times via his open affairs and did not attend his father's funeral in 1953.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ziua.ro/display.php?data=2006-01-14&id=191689 |title=''Monique Urdareanu on Elena Lupescu and Carol II'' |access-date=2 August 2016 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080613215715/http://www.ziua.ro/display.php?data=2006-01-14&id=191689 |archive-date=13 June 2008 }}, [[Ziua]],  14 January 2006</ref><!-- Pertinent quote: "Voia mult sa-si vada fiul, dar dupa plecarea din Romania nu l-a mai intalnit niciodata.
