Engagement & Civil Marriage of Nicholas Medforth-Mills and Alina Maria Binder - 2017

[Ish]

I believe the baby itself was verifiably real, as were the allegations that Nicholas was the father, but he hasn't publicly acknowledged the child. But that's going off of memory for me.

The parties seemed to hush the scandal up. Ms Cirjan did not do anything about the DNA test.


Congratulations to the couple.

Very happy for this very likeable couple....

I am so happy for the couple. Fingers crossed he, and his new bride, will, sometime in the near future, be known as TRH Prince Nicholas and Princess Alina of Romania

Since it is unlikely that the engagement will have an immediate impact on the succession of the throne of Romania, I have moved discussion concerning the succession to the http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...one-28121.html thread.

Thanks Jacknch
Why the wedding only next 2018 Summer ?

[Biri]

Maybe they want to have a big reception and organizing it lasts around a year.

Here there are some informations about Alina:

Maybe they want a summer wedding and this year it is too late given the time it takes to arrange a wedding these days - they only have a few more weeks left for this year!

King Michael of Romania's grandson will get married next year

Heu, I see two engagement videos: one shows Nicholas sporting a beard, the other shows him clean-shaven?

The photograph of the couple with a bearded Nicholas is not from their engagement but from the baptism of Prince Joseph d'Orléans last year.

I see, thanks for the clarification.

The editor or the Royal Musings Blog, who has direct access to Mr Medforth Mills, has posted about the engagement. It has become clear that former King Michael wished his grandson the best but the situation of Nicholas (stripped from his title, his position in the Royal House and his place in King Michael's version of the succession) remains unchanged. So there seems to be contact with grandfather and the aunts so to see, apparently Nicholas is not an outcast or something. Hopefully King Michael and all his aunts and cousins will be able to attend the wedding.

King Michael was not able to attend even the service for Queen Anne in Morges, so it is highly doubtable that he will be going to his grandson's wedding.

The last time the king was in Romania itself was in November 2014.

One imagines no one from the Romanian family, excepting perhaps Nicholas' sister Karina, will be at the marriage. The Duke and Duchess of Vendôme, the Duke and Duchess of Bragança, Prince Leka and Princess Elia of the Albanians, and one of the Serbian princes are the only royal guests that I can envision - based solely on Nicholas' contacts with them while in the Royal House and an enduring relationship that exists with some of the them in his private life now.

And what about his mom, Princess Elena?

Unless relations have improved, her absence might be expected as well.

We tend to overlook it, but his mother, with whom the relationship seems not too warm at the moment, always was before him in King Michael's version of the succession. Besides a strained mother-and-son relationship, this also means a strained relationship between the Number Two in the succession and the (then) Number Three. Hopefully the relationshiop of Nicolas with his sister (the ever invisible) Elizabeth Medforth Mills is "normal".

It would be painful when the Orléans and the Braganças and other distinghuised royal guests attend the wedding and none of the Romanian princesses.

We have one year to discuss it . A lot of Events may happen.

Terrible that there is such bad blood in the family,God only knows what caused such a rift between mother and son,I really hope they can solve this as life is too short for silly feuds.
