If Margarita and Radu had worked unselfishly all the years for the bright future of the Romanian Royal House, they should have been thrilled about Nicholas' growing popularity, and the possibility that with Nicholas Romania could become a monarchy again, with Nicholas as the King.
Yeah, gosh, hey, that Lazy Marge and her hubby. As if they -as no one else in the family- have not spent all their energy in pursuing a relevant role for the former royal family, to build, step-by-step, stone-by-stone, a structure, a system which works wonderfully smooth and effective, putting similar Households in reigning monarchies to shame, as these seem to rely on HUGE budgets for unclear reasons while the Romanians do the same for scratch.
While the former King and Queen simply remained in Aubonne, in a self-chosen exile, while the sisters and their families pursued a private life outside Romania, it were Margareta and Radu who, effort after effort, tried to find a meaningful and relevant role in Romania.
The point of Romania becoming a monarchy again and making Nicholas Medforth-Mills King is way passed. Not only is the kingdom Romania a short, very short intermezzo in the long history of the country. It did last only 76 years and ended 70 years ago.
Margareta and Radu are realistic. They know that they can still play a meaningful role in Romania. A Bill for a recognized status is under way in Romanian Parliament. With that Bill, any desire for a monarchy is effectively dead. After all the (republican) State of Romania recognizes the legacy of the former Royal House of Romania. They offer a bureau (Elisabeta Palace), they offer a Budget, they offer 20 staff, they offer facilitary assistance.
When that Bill has become Law, and Margareta and Radu start to be "servants" of the State, then they effectively have recognized that Romania is a republic, that the current state is the rightful successor to the Communist Peoples' Republic, which on itself is again the (unlawful) successor to the Kingdom of Romania.
And exactly that is why some "monarchists' are mordicus against Margareta and Radu, writing insulting articles with venom, poison and vinegar, almost wishing them hell, because these "monarchists" dream of a Kingdom of Romania. The short intermezzo, that 76-years old Kingdom, will never come back.
That Margareta and Radu have managed to establish a structure, an organization, a well-working communications department, an exemplaric social media exposure, even managed to make themselves relevant for the republican authorities, is really a wonder. They managed to restore Savarsin Castle in splendid state. They are now negotiating the future of Peles and Pelisor castles. It is amazing what Margareta and Radu have achieved. THEY have done that, day by day, for years, in the very heart of Romania.
THEY have put all efforts in bringing Nicholas forward. Not his mother Elena. Not his other aunts. Not his grandparents. Exactly the Margareta and Radu which are buried under vomit by some "monarchists" have introduced, guided, teached, moulded their nephew Nicholas into a promising young man with a bright future for the new Royal House. If there are any persons who have suffered a loss with Nicholas' "downfall" then it are exactly Margareta and Radu, who have invested so much in him. There is no any logic to direct all arrows on the couple.
