Queen Giovanna a prisoner of government

September 30, 1943

The AP reports today that Queen Giovanna of Bulgaria, the widow of King Boris III, is a prisoner of the new regency government. The AP's story is based on a report from the BBC. The BBC's report was recorded by the National Broadcasting Company. Last week "neutral sources said that the Queen Mother had threatened to go into exile" because of differences with the regency government. It was also reported that the government would arrest King Simeon's mother if she attempted to flee the country."
