[Cory]

There are different theories regarding the origin of the Basarabs.

No descendant of the noble /ancient families seem to be among the King's advisers anymore.

Out of curiosity, have these families ever been represented amongst the advisors of King Michael?

[Cory]

Neagu Djuvara is not very close to the King's Family anymore since he criticised Princess Margareta's husband who wanted to become president of the republic and he does not believe this Family will ever reign again:

Constantin Brancoveanu Basarab was one of the advisers of the Sovereign working for the the King. Alexandru Paleologu was a close adviser too.

Some of the Sovereign Princes like Stephen the Great of Moldova and Neagoie Basarab of Wallacchia were canonized by the Orthodox Church.

What a Furniture.
on March 18th there was an Auction in Cannes at Pichon& Noudel Deniau. they sold the Furniture and the Souvenirs Historiques -Art Russe - Collection de la Princess Hazel Ghika(1882-1951).

Hazel Paliner-Singer from Chicago came in France with her parents in 1890 and marries in 1901 Prince Jean Ghika, from one of the oldest roumanian familes. They lived in Cannes at the vlla Primavera. The Prince died in 1922 but the Princess did a lot for Charities and for Cannes also during WW Ii.
They had a daughter Alexandra who married Cmmandant Paul Louis Weiler.

The estimation princes wre very low . I did myself a bid for :
Picture of Princess Ghika estimation 50/80 euros sold 550 euros withour %

Here the highlights :
Painting Princess Gkiha's Mother Mrs Singer(Charles Pearce ) estimation 2000/3000 sold 33.000 euros.
Royal Decorated Office Seat of King Carol Ier : wood , silver, leather estimation 3000/5000
sold 80.000 euros
A lot letters old photograhic pictures of Queen Elisabeth, Queen Marie , King Ferdinand Ier, King Carol, Queen Helena , sold from 250 to 400 euros. some more. You may do and see on internet

Queen Marie silver Cross 3000 euros- Watch in gold 1.200 euros, Cigarette box in silver with crown and M 1.500 euros. Their estimation was higher
Picture of Queen Marie at Pelesh with frame and date 1895 estimation 200/300
sold 9.000 euros
King Carol estimation 100/150 sold 1800 euros
Queen Helen photographic and signed pictures between 500 /250 euros
Icones : high estimation but badly sold.

There is still interest for Nobel and Royal Items but a King's Seat 80.000 euros is a great amount.

I am sure King Michael and Queen Anne still have a lot of Souvenirs Hstoriques . I don't know for their furniture and paintings.
