The lawsuit in which Prince Paul of Romania claims ownership over two-thirds of the Peles Castle, one of the most valuable historic properties in Romania, started on Thursday, May 21, in the Bucharest Court, according to stirileprotv.ro.
The Peles Castle is currently owned by King Michael, Romania’s last monarch, the son of Prince Carol II of Romania and Princess Helen of Greece and Denmark.

I wonder why he's claiming 2/3 of the estate. Even if he were right in claiming a part of it, as a legal heir of Carol II, shouldn't the estate be divided equally between him and his half-brother and King Michael, as the legal heirs of Carol II?

King Mihai I inherited Peles Castle from his grandfather so..

It may have to do with the fact that Paul Lambrino not only inherited his father's stake in these property claims (33% as a "legitimised" son of King Carol II), but also the inheritance rights of Elena Lupescu (33% as a spouse of King Carol II).

However, as Cory quite correctly points out, Peleš is the private property of King Michael as he inherited it directly from his grandfather King Ferdinand.

Mr Lambrino would therefore not seem to have much of a claim in this particular case.

Yes, I forgot about the inheritance share of Carol II's widow.
Anyway, I know that the castle was inherited by King Michael directly from his grandfather, so I also can't see any vaildity for Paul Lambrino's claims. I was just wondering why he's asking for such an high percentage.

I so enjoyed listening to Queen Anne in the documentary "A Royal Family." She comes across as a very charming person. Her mother was apparently quite a character according to Danish Prince Joachim's stories. Apparently she showed him how to shoot tiny pieces of bread into other people's champagne glasses during formal dinners. When she landed one in Prince Henrik's he knew right where look and who the culprit was!

Yes indeed, especially considering in what circumstances their marriage took place.
They really make a great (Royal) couple.

[maria-olivia]

The Bourbon Parma did not attend the Wedding, I forgot why ?
Thanks for help !

[MAfan]

Basically because the Pope refused to give his dispensation for allowing the marriage between the Catholic Princess Anne and the Orthodox King Michael, since he had refused to promise to raise his future children as Catholic.
As a consequence, the ultra Catholic family of the bride refused to attend the wedding not allowed by the Pope.

The court has made an article to the website of the royals born on the same year: king Michael, the Duke of Edinburgh and Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg.

They wanted so much to live in the country and in the end they chose (or somebody else chose for them?) to live in Aubonne.

[eya]

What do you mean by that? Who else would be for them to decide where to stay?

[Honeybees]

I know zero about this family but to be married seven decades, that is truly something.

Trust me the history of the Romanian royal family is soooo complex. But yes the kings marriage is a example for many current and not only royal couples
