I wonder who pays for the receptions of all these delegations coming to the Elisabeta compound. I understood the building and domain has been given in use by the State of Romania, so I assume there will be a budget for these receptions.

I mean: would a private person pay for entertaining the Romanian Karate Federation, the International Competition "Basmele Reginei Maria", the students from the Technical School in Adjud, the members of the Romanian Red Cross, etc. It looks like a full working Court...

This article from January 2015 of ex-president Traian Basescu's demand for estate tells:

- official residence and office space for life
- security, protection and SPP-secured car
- a minimum of 3 bedrooms, reception hall, living room, spacious kitchen, bathrooms, garage, security annexes, public property of the state, in central or residential city area
- the official residence may not be the same as the one used during the term in office
- the budget covers for the president’s office: monthly adviser’s pay RON 2,700, secretary – RON 900, president annuity – 75% of the remuneration of the president in office
Real Estate ping-pong between Traian Basescu and Government continues

I agree, and why would a private person spend his or her own time and money on these kinds of things?

These are definitely activities that a royal court would do, so King Michael's family is basically an active semi-official royal family.

How will be Princess Margareta's popularity affected after the removal of her nephew from the Succession? What about her husband's popularity?
