Princess Ileana (1909 - 1991) led a truly remarkable life. While remaining a faithful member of the Orthodox Church, she weathered turbulent times, married a non-Orthodox Christian because of royal obligation, raised six children, and, eventually, became the abbess of an Orthodox convent in the United States.
