A Queen Loved Beyond Her Borders: The British Royal Family’s Special Relationship with Hungary

Mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Hungary remembers her historic visit in 1993, when she expressed joy over the country joining the family of democratic Western nations after decades of state socialist rule.

‘A True Friend of Our Denomination’ – How the Last Hungarian King Was Seen by the Jewish Community
