Crown princess Margarita it seems very proud for the prince Nicolae.

[Cory]

It is wonderful the King's grandson wants more and more autonomy, prefers to live more on his own and he does not seem to be influenced by the "political correctness" of others supporting openly the Monarchy.

[LadyFinn]

Video from Thursday from the arrival to Bucharest, also crown princess Margarita is interviewed.

[...]

That beautiful castle has been returned to the former royal family but is not used by them. The castle is on lease from the former royal family to the State of Romania, if I am correctly informed. The domain has a few hotels, restaurants, holiday villa and estates in use by the State of Romania.

Interesting.

[Duc_et_Pair]

I need to remind myself all the time that Princess Margaretha and Radu are NOT the parents of Nicholas. They are always around him. I seldom see his mother. Is Princess Elena deliberately keeping a low-key position?

[LadyFinn]

Nicolae has said that he is watching how his aunt and uncle work, and is learning from them and they are helping him. That they seem to have a very good relationship, helps all of them in their work.

[Cory]

Let's hope his vision will be linked with the restoration of Monarchy and not with a sort of compromise with the republic. He obviously prefers to be ass much as possible in the middle of the people and not at Elisabeta Palace.

No, it is disgraceful. Romania is an Orthodox country and culture, -a reality which the Uniate Catholic Church always tried to undermine. It is shameful that he chooses to be diplomatic, rather than generously practicing at the most important feast of his country's dominant Church. Very sad.
