King Michael severs links with the House of Hohenzollern, May 2011

On the 10th of May 2011 King Mihai I issued a royal decree with which all the hystoric and dynastic links with the Hohenzollern Family are over.The Dynasty will be called only "of Romania" and no member of the Royal Family will have the right to bear the title of Prince/Princess of Hohenzollern.Only the Head of the Romanian Royal Family can confer titles to the members of it.The Fundamental Laws of the Royal Family will registrate this change and any reference to the Hohenzollern surname will dissapear.

I do not see any link with "his half-brother's son".It is only a confirmation of Kinf Ferdinand's desires.

I think you are right.

I believe Paul and his half brother style themselves " of Romania" already.

Paul's half-brother has never called himself "of Romania" but "Hohenzollern".
The romanian Royal Family has anyhow no link with Zizi Lambrino's grandchildren.
Today decision will be surely much applauded by the Romanians.

This important decree was signed by the King today at 10.30 a.m. in the presence of a part of the members of the Romanian Royal Family, some legal advisers and counselors of the Sovereign.

Antena3 Tv (maybe the most watched news tv in Romania) announced the decree of the King and the end of the links between the Romanian Royal Family and the Hohenzollerns:

Videonews :: Video :: Casa Regal

The main Romanian newspapers announce with joy the hystoric decision of the King:

Regele Mihai I a rupt leg

The lawer of the Royal House explains the decision is formal and has nothing to do with the Succession to the Throne , explaining the decree underlines the members of the Royal Family are Romanians and have nothing to do with a Principality dissapeared in the XIXth century:

Zizi Lambrino's grandson critisizes the decision of HM King Mihai I saying he does not understand it:

I think perhaps then this is similar to the decision of the UK's King George V in the 1920s changing the surname of his family from Saxe Coburgh Gotha to that of Windsor.

Exactly!But the decree of HM King Mihai I is just a consequence of what happened during the first world war.

HM the King can cut off his personal links with them, but he is still a member of the House of Hohenzollern (genealogy can't be cut off, can it?)
The King is still their legitimate agnate.

The decree of HM King Mihai I was very clear:the Romanian Royal Family (not only Him as a person) has nothing to do anymore with the Hohenzollerns.

The historian Filip Lucian Iorga underlines that the decree of the King could find a reason also in the behaviour of Prince Karl von Hohenzollern who has links with Paul (Zizi Lambrino's grandson), saying the Princely House of Hohenzollern is in "shadowed period" due to the nowadays Head of it and the Romanian Royal House is respected and honoured by all the Royal Families ( and it must not remained link with the House now guided by Prince Karl):

Filip-Lucian Iorga :

The Prince of Hohenzollern's spokesman sustains the Princely House was not informed in an official way of the decision of King Mihai I and fount out from the press .The Princely House of Hohenzollern doesn't seem to give importance to this event:

Casa de Hohenzollern: Nu am fost informa

Casa de Hohenzollern: Nu am fost informati oficial de decizia Regelui Mihai I, am aflat informatia din presa - Esential - HotNews.ro

Well...you didn't see this then...

HRH Prince Paul of Romania

I for one I don't understand that
They are Hohenzollerns from origins, why to renegate that?
If I will stated that from today I am not longer cousin to my blood cousins it meens that from tomorrow they will be not my cousins anymore???
To not say that in Romania to say that you have german blood it is something that give you some credit . Not bad at all.
That stament will not make Prince Nicolae more Romanian than he is. It is a mistake in my opinion.

It is only a confirmation of a decision of King Ferdinand I from 1921.

If I were named Hohenzollern, I'd want to keep the name- it's pretty blue-blooded.

(I also liked it that so many different countries were/are ruled by members of the same family--unfortunate to cut those links, but since the Hohenzollerns don't rule Germany any more, it matters less.)

It is a rather symbolical event because the Romanian Royal House has now nothing to do with the Hohenzollerns.
