Replace yourself in King Michael's position. You are a former King of a defunct monarchy, you are the head of the Royal House, your House has a semi-formal status in Romania. You have no male heirs. You have no heirs at all according the same Constitution and House Laws on which your whole existence as King is based.
No problem: you changed it all unilaterally, to your personal wishes. Your daughters and their offspring became successors.
Eh... not the offspring of the second marriage of one of your daughters.
Oops... not your third daughter and all her offspring.
Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch, that was a whole grooup of successors wiped away.
Phew... luckily there still is a promising young man. Yes, he was born and raised in Switzerland and the United Kingdom but let us give it a try. Slowly you and your eldest daughter introduce that young man into the Royal House, to the monarchists, to the Romanians.
It seems to work. That young man gets a wider awareness and a more public profile. Then the young man tells he has always had doubts, but he wants to play open cards. He wants to be honest. He tells you -his grandfather the former King - and his aunt that he does not have the profound belief in "Project Romania", that he does not have the zest to carry the monarchist banner, that he prefers to pursue an own career and a private life rather than being the torchbearer for the royalist case.
Okay...
How do you communicate to the monarchists, the supporters, the Romanians, that the only credible person who could continue the House of Romania has said: "Adios mi amigos! Good luck dudes! I am off here." It is not that simple as you say, "just communicate it with a word of praise". It is a fierce and deadly blow in the face of the former King. They had to do it as misty as possible, leaving everyone confused. That is my theory. I think any theory is as good as its gets.
Remember that King Michael, Princess Margareta, Radu and Princess Elena have nothing, nothing, nothing to gain with all this. It goes against everything they worked for. Especually Margareta and Radu whom have worked so hard for Nicholas. The only one who possibly had something to gain was Nicholas: his own freedom, his own privacy, his own life, his own destiny.
