PRINCESS DEPORTED
BANISHED FROM DENMARK
COLLABORATION WITH GERMANS London, June 1. Princess Helene of Denmark has been banished from the kingdom by King Christian, her brother-in-law, because of her collaborationist behaviour during the German occupation. In a rickety little aeroplane hired for the occasion she was flown to her father’s estate at SchleswigHolstein, with six suit cases of belongings. King Christian himself signed the papers ordering her deportation, and is reported to be considering the annulment of the marriage in 1909 of this German princess with his brother Harald. Princess Helene, who is 57, celebrated the German occupation of her adopted country by inviting to dinner the notorious Gestapo chief, Pancke, and his friend, Baroness von Busch, making them her closest friends. She filled her house nightly with highranking Germans and Danish traitors. Her husband would not stay in the house. Her eldest son, Prince Gorm, went to Sweden to join the Danish Brigade, and her youngest son, Prince Olaf, joined the Danish resistance movement.
