Nicholas Medforth-Mills (formerly His Royal Highness Prince Nicholas of Romania)

[Cory]

It is very interesting how the journalists that speak about the King'sFamily these days are not very sure how to speak about Nicholas de Roumanie Medforth Mills. They prefer to say that he is the King's grandson avoiding possible titles or comments about recent events of the family.The royalists must be happy to see the popular grandson of the King.

Nicholas de Roumanie Medforth Mills met the people in front of the Royal Palace saying he will be back and he will remain close to the people and the country as his grandfather:

Are these reports believed to be credible? There is a quote attributed to Radu Enache, the attorney of Nicholas de Roumanie, which states more or less the same thing: that the couple have contracted a civil ceremony in the United Kingdom, and that the religious wedding will be held in 2018, as planned. However, it is strange that these reports have only emerged due to the Royal Household styling Nicholas and Alina as "domnul și doamna Nicolae de Roumanie Medforth-Mills" in the funeral program.

Nicholas simply had to notify the Royal Household about his marriage to Alina.

Nicholas visited Centrul Hospice Casa Sperantei in Bucharest on 27th May. "Nicholas De Roumanie Medforth-Mills, grandson of King Mihai, has made us happy to visit the HOSPICE House in Bucharest. Having previous experiences in volunteering and working with children with disabilities, Nicholas delighted the children admitted to our unit through his presence, offered support for lessons, wanted to know their parents and related patients, he was interested in the conditions of accommodation and treatment and was very interested in knowing and supporting the need for palliative care in Romania. We are honored by his visit and thank him for his support!"

Why should he notify his marriage to people that excluded him?

Standard practices in a Royal Family. Nicholas seems content, despite the sad circumstances in which we have seen him these past few days. That's a good thing, both for him personally, and for any position he might have in the Royal Family in the times ahead.

It is not unusual to have the civil and the religious marriage in a different period of time.

No wonder his grandfather, his mother and his aunts were upset then. A sneaky marriage, causing a fait accompli, is usually not met with approval in "normal" families, let alone in a royal family.

Why would he marry her in a private civil ceremony if he had the permission from the King he needed? And at the time, having accepted the King’s proposals to make him a Prince etc, he surely realised he would need that permission?

He can hardly play the Prince when it suits him and overlook the rules when it doesn’t. No wonder he was pushed out.

Or it's only a fake news to make situation even more shadow....
Nicolas's position is now such that he should think twice or more before any public or private action.

[Gaudete]

I agree. Some of his behaviour comes across as a need to attention rather than genuine sentiment. A few years out of the public eye would do him some good IMO.

[LadyFinn]

Nicholas wasn't a prince anymore last summer, he wasn't a member of the "official" Royal Family of Romania. He had the consent from Alina Maria's parents to get engaged and then married. And he had informed king Michael and his immediate family.
If he and Alina Maria wanted to get married privately at a civil ceremony, it is their business and right to do so. It is also their business to decide when they make their marriage public, they are two private citizens.

[Gaudete]

My apologies, I thought the date given was 2014. In any case, life as a private individual for a time would be advantageous to everyone from now on.

That assessment is in contradiction with Nicholas Medforth-Mills' actions to return into the Royal House. A sneaky marriage when the relationship with grandfather, mother and aunts are already tense is not the wisest thing to do, apart from the alleged paternity of a child with another lady which is still not completely "solved".

I am not sure how true the news is that Nicholas already married Ms Binder. There is a lot of poisonous smoke around the byzantine snake-pit which is the former royal family.

He will have a public religious marriage anyhow so I do not see any problem at all.

Assuming that it's true that Nicholas and Alina are married: The fact that we didn't know doesn't mean that it's sneaky or hidden away. He's not a member of the royal family, so they didn't have to announce his marriage. Members of his immediate family could have been present at the ceremony.

[Gaudete]

I think what Duc means is that getting married in the way he did doesn’t exactly show that he wants to return to his old position and yet other statements he makes suggests he’s still sour about it. His recent actions seem to suggest (to me) that he’s eager to find a way back in and yet if that were the case, he would have waited a little while until some time had passed and he could find a way to heal the rift with his family.

But IMO he isn’t so much interested in building bridges as setting himself up as a rival.

[Cory]

The Press Office of the King had announced the future marriage of Nicholas de Roumanie Medforth Mills when the Sovereign was still alive.
It is up to Nicholas and Alina de Roumanie Medforth Mills to organize their marriage as they consider better for themselves.
