Exactly, but you probably know there are some people obsessed with tarnish the image of Prince Radu, aka the husband of Princess Margareta.

Nicholas was the most popular member of the Family lately.

Of course the King discussed the situation with his daughter and son-in-law, after all he appointed her as his successor and future Head of the Royal House.

Why not discussing with Princess Elena and her son too?

There's no evidence that he didn't discussed it with Nicholas, in fact the Royal House counselor that was interviewed said the decision came from the former Prince.
Maybe Princess Elena was not totally aware of the situation, but she does not even live in Romania.

Nobody spoke about a meeting between the King and his grandson before the decision was taken and Princess Elena received a letter to be informed about the decision.

True enough. He did make a minor mistake when he considered running for political office, on the other hand he has been instrumental in getting the family back in the public eye.

Just because nobody spoke about it, doesn't mean a meeting hasn't happened.
Also, humanity has invented a plethora of means of communication, that I'm sure the King and his grandson are aware about.

I am sure the Family would have spoken about a meeting if there were one. Nicholas left Romania without a Statement too.

Princess Elena can reinstate her son in his previous position when she becomes Head of the Family.

Sure, the King certainly decided to strip Nicholas of titles this morning, after receiving a call from the husband of Princess Margareta. Nicholas only discovered about everything together with the rest of us.
The Crown Princess and her machiavellian husband have now succeed on their plan to make Romania stay as a republic for ever and ever.
Makes a lot of sense.

Margarita doesn't strike me as vindictive and though I find Radu a questionable figure, I don't think either of them had anything to do with this.

In one of the articles I read it seems to be the King's intention to let the royal family end after the death of his daughter.

The King has never spoken about the end of Monarchy.

Yes, but he has another three daughters that are Princesses of Romania and two granddaughters who are in the line of succession.
Also, after she becomes Head of the House (an event that, in all probability, will happen in the coming years), the Crown Princess can go against her father's decisions.

Surely Princess Elena and her daughter will always support Nicholas.

Margarita and Radu met with Michael in Switzerland in early August. The statement makes it clear that Nicholas knew what was happening, and he agreed. The statement refers to moral and emotional issues.

The Statement did not clearly refer to any specific issue regarding Nicholas.

I was being ironic, Marlene.
