King Carol visits Polish cathedral after all. Through a new door. Despite the opposition of Cardinal Sapieha, the Archbishop of Krak籀w, King Carol of Romania and Crown Prince Michael, inspected Wawel Cathedral during their visit to Poland, and also pay tribute in the crypt, where lies the coffin of Marshal Pilsudski. Cardinal Sapieha was not present during the Royal visit as he is stated to be seriously ill. Seemingly objecting to King Carol's morals, Cardinal Sapieha came into conflict with the Polish government when he temporarily removed Pilsudski's coughing from its resting place and part the Cathedral to King Carol. A new door was specially cut for the King. Photo shows, King Carol (right) and Crown Prince Michael (centre) in Wawel Cathedral. 5 July 1937
