In fact, this is the version given to journalists by Helen who gave the image of a wife scorned and persecuted mercilessly by her ex-husband. Some historians like Guy Descars refutes this argument by saying that Carol did not prohibit Helen to see Michael or visit Romania to see her son. He claims that Helen has decided to leave Romania in 1930 because she preferred to live in Italy, even away from her son, never to rub Carol, she could not stand his presence. I confess that I do not know who to believe.
