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

[Cory]

All the daughters of the late King will be at Savers in for Christmas and the ownership of the castle will be according to the Law and the will of the late King.
It us certainly not Nicholas de Roumanie Medforth Mills fault he us not very close to his own mother.

I would imagine the newly weds would rather spend Christmas together, rather than with dysfunctional family [with a capital D]...

[Cory]

Nicholas de Roumanie Medforth Mills thanks to all Romanians for their messages after the death of his grandfather and thanks the general who organized the funeral on behalf of the government:

Dysfunctional family?
Or dysfunctional son / grandson / nephew / cousin?
We have no any idea, so I would be more restraint in giving qualifications.

Probably you are right and the young couple would be happier for Christmas in a place where there is no possibility of tension.
An invitation from the Princesses would have been though seen as a sign of reconciliation

Because to it would give some faux supporters a chance to feign outrage and stir up trouble if and when such an occasion would fall apart.

We never saw pictures of Nicholas except at the Baptism of the Children of the Duke of Vendome. The Duc did not attend King Michael's Funeral but his Sister Baroness Chantal de S.

Princess Chantal is the Duke of Vendome's aunt not sister.

The Christmas period is particularly hard for those who are in mourning and I'd imagine that both the King's daughters and his grandson would appreciate an atmosphere of calm and peace in order to grieve.

The weeks leading up to the King's death and the flurry of media activity about the family have aggravated the situation.

A time of reflection and cooling off is necessary before deep and meaningful reconciliation can take place.

Forget the questions of monarchy, royal house and succession, from a simple human point of view, a time-out is needed, far away from the vipers, the lawyers, the "monarchists" and the media.

Let's hope the Christmas period will bring new signs of reconciliation. Nobody wins if the Family remains split.

Hear, hear.

The well known royalist Marilena Rotary published an opened Letter to the eldest daughter of the late King asking her to reconcile with her nephew:

I guess this woman wrote and published a letter about this family's personal affairs with what she viewed as her right, but I actually find it quite pushy. I find this entire matter a personal family problem and unless Marilene was personally asked her private opinion, really a bit self-important on her part. Maybe just how it came across to me and I acknowledge I could be completely wrong. Or just another country's custom on personal family matters.

[Cory]

Nobody probably has done so much for Monarchy as Mrs Rotaru in the last 28 years. She is the best known royalist leader. Her letter expresses the view of many royalists who consider Nicholas de Roumanie Medforth Mills should be welcomed back by the Family.

With "friends" as Mrs Rotaru, the former royal family needs no enemies. My advice: buy lots of garlic and a big crucifix to keep that woman far away!

[Cory]

The enemies of the Monarchy have always opposed Mrs Rotaru. The King highly appreciated her.

You’re not wrong and this is not the way to promote unity. H.M the Custodian walks a narrow path here in navigating what is best for the future, and she is obviously aware if the difficulties the rift in the family creates for the unity forward. If Mrs. Rotaru was smart and not more concerned with self-promotion, this is a letter that would be sent in private, and probably then received in a very different way than an open letter, much more destructive by nature, will have been.

There is a way to do these things right, and 17 ways of doing them wrong. Certain ‘supporters’ of the monarchy, who spend most of their time and energy claiming to know better than the Royal Family themselves, and thrive on pointing out every flaw and mistake, continue to not realize that all they’re achieving with their vitriol, is to harm the very thing they claim to support.

Like the fish once said, with friends like these, who needs anemones?

That is exactly how I feel about these "monarchists". My grandmother always says to me: "Best intentions can start World War III."

[Cory]

Mrs Rotaru wrote an opened Letter about a big concern among the monarchists. The letter is respectful and certainly embraces also the spirit of Christmas speaking about reconciliation and the prayer of "Our Father".
