The article posted by LadyFinn tells that Nicholas is son of a British father (Professor Dr Robin Medforth-Mills) and born in Switzerland. He would still have lead a life full with sports and adventures, ready to jump on every plane, until suddenly his grandfather, former King Michael of Romania requested his involvement in Romania.
Nicholas had no idea what his grandfather was talking about: living in Romania and being in line of the (defunct) throne of Romania. That is why he spent a summer in Romania, talking a lot to his aunt Princess Margarita and travelling around. He became to learn Romania better and thanks to his aunt he was more aware what could be expected and which 'weight' eventually would press on his shoulders.
Nicholas also told he preferred to travel rather than go for another education. Nicholas enjoyed his life to the full max: an expedition in Namibia, in Thailand, working with horses on a ranch in Oregon, going to Madagascar with an organization dedicated to the protection of nature, being a kayak instructor in Kenya, etc. Nicholas also made money in the United Kingdom by working in a supermarket. After an illness (malaria) he decided to go for the serious life and went to the Royal Holloway College, University of London to study business and management.
In the interview Nicholas also told that after the birth his family moved from Switzerland to Sudan. After three years the family moved to Durham in the United Kingdom (the North of England). As a teenager Nicholas enrolled at Shiplake College, a boarding school in Oxfordshire. In the interview Nicholas told abouth the typical British life. He became Head of House, internship leader and captain of the field hockey team.
Nicholas told that going to Romania was a (culture) shock. He did not speak a word of Romanian. He started with an intensive course in Moldova. Slowly he started to understand the structure of Romania and how the land works. In the interview Nicholas stated he still has difficulties with Romanian language and sometimes needs to find words in English. He told that his aunt Princess Margarita and her husband Radu Duda introduced him in society. Who is who in secular and religious life? Etc.
In the interview Nicholas also told about his royal grandparents, former King Michael, Prince von Hohenzollern and Queen Anne (née Princess de Bourbon de Parme). Every summer he met his grandparents in Switzerland, where they would play golf, go fishing and his grandfather driving around in a Jeep. Those memories are dear to Nicholas and he was happy to see both his grandparents in good health and enjoying life.
As told by LadyFinn, Nicholas stated he lives in an appartment on the domain of Palatul Elisabeta, home to his aunt Princess Margareta and his uncle Radu Duda. He started working for Curtea Veche Publishing. Make children read is one of his passions and that is why it still is one of Nicholas' missions. He also told that he has 'no idea' what to expect from future. He claimed that his grandfather, former King Michael, was very loved and respected in Romania. Everywhere Nicholas went, he received warmth and goodwill, Nicholas discovered it was easy to start a conversation with Romanians. Outside Romania Nicholas has already met royals from his generation from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Austria, Albania or Serbia. Nicholas stated that he is a "newbie" but learning fast.
Nicholas has no idea what future will bring to him. He thought that liffe has been incredibly kind to him. He never knew he would met such warm people in Romania. He thought he has "the best job in the world".
