Happy that Prince Philip and Princess Danica together with their children accepted the invitation to visit Romania for the first time.
We were very emotional to have them as guests and to accompany them to Curtea de Arges, Sinaia and the capital with our children. On the occasion of this visit, Prince Philip reconnected with his family's roots.

In Romanian press
This visit was not only an opportunity to strengthen the ties between the royal families, but also a reaffirmation of friendship and mutual respect between the Romanian and Serbian people, marking another page in the history of relations between the two nations.
 
They are in Roumania 2 different Courts . One Officlal and one refused by the late King Michael.
 
Nicholas and Alina-Maria accompanied Prince Philip and Princess Danica of Serbia on a visit to Peles Castle in Romania.

 
Nicolae and Alina participated on Sunday August 4 in the liturgy celebrated at the Buneşti School.
"On Sunday August 4, Their Highnesses Prince Nicolae and Princess Alina gave us the great joy of being with us at the liturgy celebrated in the domus ecclesiae, together with the teachers, students and friends of the School. We also prayed for rain and it rained, during the agape. Then a new, clear sun rose over the meadow and over the oak pavilion with sails, where the Prince evoked King Mihai. And all of us, out of emotion, felt a little bit, for a whole day, the son of God, the grandson of the King."
 
Sounds almost like a cult... Is Nicholas here truly not only called a prince (we've seen that many times before as he seems to encourage that treatment) but also the son of God?

No cult behavious here, just specific religious traditions that certain places in Romania still practice (like praying for rain). As for the reference to the son of Good, it is just a mention in the romanian church where all people are called sons of good since Good is the father of all people. In this case, the phrase is extended a bit to specify what children of good is the prayer refering to (the grandchildren of the former king Mihai)

It’s just the translation. We all are God’s children in the eyes of the church.
 
It is King Mihai who did not want him to be his Heir and who decided he will not be Prince of Roumania anymore.
 
Nicolae and Alina-Maria attended a wedding on Saturday 17:

"Wedding at Westerwinkel Castle in Westphalia: Countess Elisabeth von Merveldt and Ghislain d'Adesky, son of Baron François d'Adesky and our dear friend, celebrated the mystery of marriage.
The religious ceremony took place on August 17, at the Church of Saint-Benedict in Ascheberg-Herbern by Father Markus Pottbäcker of Gelsenkirchen, assisted by Father Michael Cusack, chaplain of the English-speaking parish in Luxembourg. The bride and groom's witnesses were Countess Valérie von Merveldt, Countess Mariella zu Ortenburg, Countess Catherina von Spee, Prince Lionel von Croÿ, Count Gaëtan d'Harambure, Michał Mach and José de Pierpont.
This marriage reflected the harmony of the spouses' diverse family origins: the bride, whose father is from Germany and her mother from Belgium, and the groom, born to a Belgian-Rwandan father and a French-British mother. Having both lived in many countries, the bride and groom gathered around them their friends from all over the world to celebrate the most beautiful day of their lives so far.
The festivities continued at Westerwinkel Castle, the residence of Elisabeth's parents. Among the guests were many great Westphalian families, as well as representatives of the European nobility. I had the joy of meeting Princess Anita Hohenberg, great-granddaughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, close relative of Queen Ana and two of her children."

From a wedding to work.

Nicolae was invited to speak at two workships on leadership at the LEO Europa Forum 2024 in Cluj, the annual European Leo Convention. They discussed also about the role of the royal family in the context of our days.

Alina-Maria at her Instagram:
Secuiana, a Romanian brand with a long tradition in the production of quality men's items, which our parents' generation certainly knows, has launched a new line dedicated to women. It has been present on the Romanian market for 56 years.
The women's collection is created with care and attention to detail, using the same good quality materials, with a vibrant and refined style, and I fell in love with the pieces in this first collection that are perfect for me and my everyday activities . Congratulations @secuiana.official and Ana Toma!
You will often see me wearing outfits from this Romanian brand that I really appreciate.

Alina-Maria posted photos of their visit to Kunsthaus 7B and the Vernissage of result of International Summer Academy of Visual Arts Cisnădioara.
For the third consecutive time, Gabriela von Habsburg and Kunsthaus 7B from Cisnădioara, at the initiative of art collector Thomas Emmerling, organized the Cisnădioara International Summer Academy of Visual Arts. 22 artists from Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Hungary, Austria, Malta, Moldova and Romania came to Transylvania inspired by established international artists to work together.
I had the honor of being appointed Vice President of the "Friends of Visual Arts" Association, and for me it is important to support this cultural project, especially since the platform for it is in Romania and not elsewhere. It's great to see all these amazing talented artists fall in love with our country.
The "Friends of Visual Arts" association was founded by Gabriela von Habsburg and the director of Kunsthaus 7B Thomas Emmerling from Cluj-Napoca together with Victor Neumann, art collectors and connoisseurs from England, Germany, Austria and Romania.
 
Alina of Romania, a colorful princess. The outfits that Nicolae's wife delighted us with this summer
The young wife of the grandson of King Mihai had a summer full of events, and the outfits she showed at each of them were very well chosen, elegant and cool, at the same time, a sign that Alina has perfect taste in clothing.
 
A few weeks ago, Nicolae and Alina Maria, accompanied by their children, Maria Alexandra and Mihai, visited the Horezu Monastery, considered a masterpiece of the Wallachian Renaissance. For this visit immersed in history and imbued with sacredness, Nicolae and Alina Maria wore traditional outfits.

With honor, we present a series of four online meetings in which Prince Nicolae and Princess Alina will read stories to the children in Romanian. We chose together the most loved books by the Prichindeil community of the Prichindeil Libraries. If you are curious to know how they played, what they read, who their grandparents were, what the Royal Family means and much more, feel free to sign up using the form below.
The first meeting is scheduled for September 28, 2024. Until then, prepare your list of questions!

Nicolae and Alina-Maria read to the children at a web event today:
We had 50 accounts participating in this morning's zoom meeting with Prince Nicolae and Princess Alina, but many more children. Because, on some screens there were 2, 3, and I even saw 5 pairs of glasses crammed on the same screen.
The children were extraordinary, they asked many beautiful questions because they were really curious:
"What does a normal day look like for a real prince?" "What present do you want from Santa?"
"Do you have crown and sword?"
But that's not what surprised us, we expected to be impressed by them. The big surprise came from Their Highnesses.
We had emotions, we were afraid of making a mistake, of breaking the protocol. From the first minutes, from the technical tests with the Prince and the Princess, all our fears disappeared and the smiles from ear to ear were glued to our faces and they are still here.
Because I discovered two people. Warm, beautiful, flexible, attentive, generous. They read us not one but two stories and they read aloud. They smiled continuously, took seriously every question received from the children.
They also made jokes. When asked where their children are now, the Prince replied: "someone has to take care of the grandparents too".
And at the end, they thanked us and closed the zoom with a message "We are with you, wherever you are."
 
I see all of this activity with Nicolae and Margarita and wonder what future there is for the future of the Romanian RF. The only future is Nicolae and his children, since it seems his sister isn't planning on children. Yet Margarita won't reconcile with him. Is her plan for the Romanian RF to die out with her or her sisters?
 
A few years ago, Nicolae started producing honey – with little knowledge at the start. The grandson of King Mihai I, concerned about maintaining biodiversity and interested in environmental causes, managed to develop his project. The new beekeeper and his wife now manage six hives on a plot of land in Bucharest.

There are also Princess Irina's children (who HAVE children of their own) and Princess Sofia's daughter (aged 25).

Yes, but Irina and her line remain removed from the line of succession per Margareta's decision. Maybe Margareta is focusing on Sofia's daughter as the future.

Irina maybe did something illegal, but what her children are guilty of?
 
Nicolae and Alina-Maria visited the Iacob Foundation, which is dedicated to exhibit, preserve and interpret the art and archives of Viorica and Gheorghe Iacob. The pop-up gallery of the Iacob Foundation is about an open cultural space on the former site of the artists' workshop Gheorghe and Viorica Iacob, which was expanded by up to 600 square meters with the aim of becoming a private museum.
 
Irina maybe did something illegal, but what her children are guilty of?
Actually, King Michael removed Princess Irina and her children in 2014 from the line of succession after Irina and her husband were found guilty running an illegal gambling business involving cockfights on their farm in Oregon. It happened in Oregon, USA about a 100 miles from where I live.
 
The succession and other things are discussed in this thread:
