Back To Romania
After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the new Romanian government decided in early 1991 to return to Princess Caradja more than 20 acres (81,000 m2) of her estate. In mid-1991, she went back to her native country, taking up residence in her old orphanage.
She died at age 100, on May 26, 1993, and was buried in the family tomb, in Bucharest. A memorial service was held at the historic Kretzulescu Church.
Her daughter, Alexandra, died in 1997; she is survived by her granddaughter, Princess Brianna Caradja, and two great-grandsons.
