The arrangements made with the former royal family is something you also see in other former monarchies. The former royal family is met with égards, their family's contribution to history is acknowledged and that is it.

Actually Romania probably shows the future. A completely de-politicized royal family with no formal role but nevertheless a prominent position in society. Exactly like the Duke of Bragança or the Duke of Bavaria or the Prince of Prussia.

She married at 47 so she does not have heirs, who is the next in line after Queen Margareta?

Her sister Princess Elena and then her daughter Karina de Roumanie Medforth-Mills. That said the Romanian succession was mainly a suggestion made by King Michael and it's seemingly in shambles after the removal of the former Prince Nicholas.

Iam very surprise Margareta waited so long to get married, I mean didn't she want to have an heir. I know some times life can be difficult to find love but still for Royals have an heir is a duty, Wasn't anybody before her husband ?

Until 2008 the succession was regulated by the Constitution of the Kingdom of Romania, which was overturned in April 1948 by the Communists.

On New Year's Eve 2007 King Michael issued a new Fundamental Rules of the royal family of Romania and in that he proposed that the Romanian Parliament should abolish the Salic law, should it consider restoring the monarchy.

Interestingly enough, Gordon Brown, the former prime minister of the UK – when they were students, but I'm not sure how long the relationship was.

A man who is very much not into the concept of royalty, but ended up dating a crown princess.

Five years.

Gordon may not like monarchy in his country but a foreign princess another matter. Especially of a country that abolished its monarchy. I am sure he would like the BRF more if they were private citizens with meaningless titles.

Neither Princess Margareta nor her four sisters were ever successors to the throne until 2008. Meaning: Margareta only became a (proposed) heiress when she was 58 years old. Under the last democratic Constitution before Communist rule, their cousin the Fürst von Hohenzollern would have been the heir. (King Michael and his five daughters were all born Prinz / Prinzessin von Hohenzollern).

Amazing development in a republic. This means the Government anticipates on a successor to the current Custodian of the Crown.
