Weren't there rumours that it was Margarita who was pushing for the stripping of his title and succession rights? Or at least heavily involved in the decision. IF so then it may not be forth coming.

If he was restored to his title but not the succession the problem of the next generation continues anyway because his sister doesn't seem in the slightest bit interested.

It could open a can of worms for the Crown Princess regarding her nephew Nicholas and his loss of Princely title.

The problem is not between aunt Margareta and nephew Nicholas. It is between mother Elena and son Nicholas.

As long as the water is deep between Princess Margareta's heir and her heir's son, there is no reasonable chance that the Custodian will act without having her successor aboard. Note that still there is a criminal process in which Mr Medforth Mills is charged with trying to break into a property, violating a private residence and assaulting several people. Apart from this cloud hanging over Nicholas there is the underlying dissatisfaction within the royal family over Nicholas being too close to third parties with an own agenda regarding Romanian politics and the position of the Crown in the current republican structure.

As long as these painpoints are on the table, I do not see Princess Margareta acting yet. The dust around Nicholas needs to settle down first. The ice between Princess Elena and her son Nicholas needs to melt first.

It is wonderful that like her sisters Irina is again a Princess.

It was outrageous that this lady, with two royal parents, four royal grandparents, eight royal great-grandparents, etc. suddenly was no longer a princess of the blood royal. The blue blood in her veins is exactly the same as the blood running in the veins of her royalborn sisters.

Yes, throw someone out of the succession. Yes, remove a title of the Royal House, okay. But even denying that someone simply is born as a princess of the Royal House of Romania and equally born as a princess of the princely House of Hohenzollern, that was a way too draconic and short-sighted act. Like the removal of Nicholas was also way over-reacted.

Let us hope that this is a first step towards another formal reconciliation.

I read the relationship of Mr Bairneix with Princess Sofia 's parents were bad ?
It went better after their Divorce.

Between weight loss and the aging process, Margareta, Elena and Maria have become almost like triplets.

Sophie has also started to look very similar to the three sisters you mention.

His Royal Highness Michel of Laufenburg

He lives mostly in Romania trying to sell the story he has royal ancestry. Not with much success.

This is the "royal highness":

Well, it has been said that he lived as a queen for many years.

[Quetzalcoatl]

We have an inflation of royal highness:
-descendants of old boyar families;
-Mr. Lambrino and his family;
-Mr. Biarneix;
-Descendants of king Michael who were given, taken, given, taken titles based on the mood of the head of the household;
-Mr Radu of Romania (Radu Duda, Radu Hohenzollern-Veringen, Radu Al Romaniei-Duda, Radu Al Romaniei).


A good reminder is that in the royal constitution of 1923 nobility titles were forbidden (art 10). And that the powers of the head of the state were limited to those written in the Constitution (art 91).

[Duc_et_Pair]

That the male spouse of the head of the Royal House is a Prince and a HRH is standing practice.

Albert von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha
Heinrich zu Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Pierre de Polignac
Félix de Bourbon de Parme
Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld
Claus von Amsberg
Henri Laborde de Monpezat
Radu Duda
Daniel Westling

That the daughters of Michael von Hohenzollern, King of Romania, and of Anne de Bourbon de Parme are HRH and princesses of the blood royal is standing practice as well.

That the male spouses of junior princesses are no HRH and Prince is standing practice as well.

None of the grandchildren of King Michael is a HRH or a Prince (Princess) at this moment.

So that leaves Mr Biarneix as the occasional fantast. Mr Lambrino has a few valid points but when using a title also he is in a fantasy.

All by all the number of HRH's in Romania is very limited.

[Lady Daly]

I thought this thread was about the Royal Family of Romania not the former husband of Princess Sophie, Alain Biarneix (m.1998 div. 2002) divorced over 18 years ago. I see, he seeped through the cracks after a picture Sophie took of her daughter was posted.

I do want to complement Princess Elena and Princess Sophie, they are looking very healthy these days.

Thank you for your recent post Duc et Pair, excellent clarification.

A few clarifications: Of the gentlemen listed, Albert von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha and Heinrich zu Mecklenburg-Schwerin were born as Princes (and Dukes). Pierre de Polignac never became HRH. Félix de Bourbon de Parme was born both Prince and HRH, as was the Duke of Edinburgh who was left off the list. Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld, though born a Count, was already a Prince for 20 years when he became a royal consort.

Sure, but look to Claus von Amsberg, Henri Laborde de Monpezat and Daniel Westling, not to mention Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz, Mette Marit Tjessem Høiby, Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti, Mary Donaldson, Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano, Charlene Wittstock, Catherine Middleton and Stéphanie de Lannoy.

That Radu Duda was became Prince of Romania, a title ad personam, was completely in line with practice in all European reigning and non-reigning Houses. That Robin Medforth-Mills, Alexander Nixon McAteer, John Kreuger, Alan Biarneix and Kazimierz Wiesław Mystkowski received no any title is also in line with standing practice in most European Houses.

Her Majesty Margareta and Prince Radu participated, in the Royal Village on the Săvârșin Domain, in a memorial service dedicated to King Mihai. The memorial service was officiated in the open air by the parish priest of the local Orthodox Church, Father Călin Mădăluță, without the presence of the public.

Princess Elena, Princess Irina, Princess Sofia and Princess Maria paid tribute to their father in a private setting, along with their families.
