How does King Michael specifically and the rest of the Royal Family generally travel between Romania and Switzerland? Do they fly commercially, with bodyguards and staff? Or fly commercially by themselves? Or train? Or private plane?
If I remember correctly, I remember reading something about the anniversary of TRH the CP and CP of Serbia, which stated that the royal family arrived via train. This may have been a rare thing because of the Heath of the Queen at the time however, as she was very frail then.
It's possible that they may still go by train anyway because the king is now in his 90s and there comes a time when flying at that age is not a good idea for ones health.
They go with detail always when traveling that I know of.

I believe that King Michael and Queen Anne had a second wedding, a Roman Catholic ceremony, in Monaco in 1966.
Do any pictures from that day exist. ? I believe that Grace and Rainier were very good friends of the couple so I'm also wondering if they attended the ceremony. ?
Apologies if this isn't the correct place to pose this question. !
You are correct, Breffney; the King and Queen were married at the St. Charles Church in Monaco sometime in 1966.
Queen Anne states in her memoirs that the only witnesses were two Italian priests; it does not seem as if any photos exist from the ceremony.
She said, "It was all very discreet, and that was what pleased me most of all."

By all accounts they have had (and continue to have) a very happy marriage. It is wonderful to see.I admire how the older generation of royalty stay married. The way it should be
