Following the celebrations for the 150th Anniversary of the Royal House of Romania earlier this month, Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess Margareta, Custodian of the Crown, together with other members of the Romanian Royal Family returned to Pelişor Castle late last week to view the exhibition being held there entitled “Architecture and Kingship” and to thank everyone involved in organising the celebrations. The royal party also took a tour round the castle, visiting the Gold Room, where Queen Maria’s heart is enshrined.
