Crown Princess Margareta told Marilena Rotaru that Nicholas had been disinherited because of ties to the former President Basescu. Rotaru is a leading royalist and was until her recent resignation the co-president of the monarchist association ANRM.

However, it has emerged that Nicholas conceived a child with Romanian Nicoleta Cirjan, a conception that was discovered in July, whereupon Prince Nicholas informed his aunt and uncle of the development. When the Crown Princess and her husband found out about the pregnancy, they were not well-pleased, and thus unfolded the events of August. The infant is due in early 2016.

Royal Musings: is a baby the reason Nicholas Medforth-Mills lost his succession rights and title.

Genealogist Marlene Koenig, who has known the Romanian Royal Family for many decades, has stated that the Royal House was already aware of this "news" when it became public in November.

It would appear that the occupants of Elisabeta Palace may have deliberately spread disinformation in order to damage the reputation of Prince Nicholas. Given the history of the Royal Family, one imagines Romanians would have been quick to forgive Nicholas this act of indiscretion. Yet, if Prince Nicholas had become unpopular with certain occupants of Elisabeta Palace, this pregnancy might have been all that was needed to eject him from his role.

I think so too. He had got well into his life in Romania, found a good role as a member of the royal family and was able to have a job which interested him and in which he was good at, especially working with children and young people.

It will be interesting to see what happens after king Michael and queen Anne have passed away. It is clear that Nicholas loves and still respects them and doesn't want to cause them any harm. But the things can be different, when his grandparents aren't there anymore.

Is not known if he still has any dialogue with his aunts in Bucharest.

This really would be very interesting. If we could know his relations Nicolae have now with his uncles.

Especially with Crown Princess Margaretha and Prince Radu.

And both his own mother Princess Elena as well his own sister Karina (no Princess) remain stoney silent. No word about it, no public appearance with him, nothing...

I was nothing waiting for this news. Nicholas will have a child?

Who can take the place of Nicholas? is the royal family to address this issue?

[Cory]

Both Princess Elena and her daughter were not seen recently in Romania at all.Hard to know what they both believe about what happened to Mr Medforth Mills.

[Cory]

Mr Medforth Mills visited Bucharest for few days last week while his aunt and her husband were in Switzerland.

So this story with an illegitimate child was true?! I thought it was just some rumours, and until we won't get any official confirmation or a confirmation from Nicolae it's nothing to talk about

Would not it be better Nicolae again become crown prince of Romania and his son also have a place in line?

The whole story has been reported by newspapers and medias, but nothing has ever been confirmed.

He was never Crown Prince and his child would never have a place in the line of succession unless the parents were married.

DNA will prove this one way or another.

The original article quoted a palace source and they said believed their source even after they contacted the pregnant woman who denied the relationship with Nicholas and him being the father of her unborn child. But there have bee many rumours that have come and gone so we may be just waiting for DNA on this one.

[USCtrojan]

Who is to say that he wants to know if the child is truly his or not?

That is good. As I have told a few times at these formus, some Facebook pages looking like the personal pages by Nicholas are just pages filled by others. It is weird that Facebook allows this anyway. These semi-real Facebook pages can be very cofusing ánd damaging.
