Royal Family of Romania, News & Events Part 2 (Jan 2018 - Current)


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
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. IMG_6586.jpg
 
I read the relationship of Mr Bairneix with Princess Sofia 's parents were bad ?
It went better after their Divorce.


His Royal Highness Michel of Laufenburg :lol:

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

This is the "royal highness":

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).

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.
 
:previous: 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.:flowers:

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.

Albert, Heinrich, Félix, Philip, and Bernhard received princely titles associated with the royal houses into which they married, on top of the foreign princely titles they held by birth (or, in the case of the Duke of Edinburgh, replacing them).

Pierre de Polignac did not marry an HRH. He became HSH like his wife, which is equivalent to the husband of an HRH becoming an HRH.


We have an inflation of royal highness:
[...]
-Mr. Lambrino and his family;

My understanding from news reports is that Paul has never used, or been listed in official documents, with the name Lambrino, only Hohenzollern and (Prince) of Romania.
