I strongly urge you to stop talking about my King like that. You may or may not agree with His actions, but He is clearly not besmirching anything nor behaving in any undignified way. His Majesty's first duty is toward His people, not towards monarchy enthusiasts and theorists on some message board.

: I get that he wants someone with actual ties

: But all this nonsense from the past few

: the line of succession, and elevation to
: princeliness of his grandson, and the other
: madness he's engaged in is just horrible.
: Radu is a "prince" because the
: Hohenzollerns "made" him one --
: nevermind the fact that they didn't have
: that power. So he's going to sever his ties
: with the same branch that elevated the

: Why can't this man show the same dignity is
: his final years as he did during those long
: decades of exile.
:
: Why is he intent on besmirching his legacy?
: The monarchy is not going to be restored.
: There is no throne for him to concern
: himself with. The legacy of the Hohenzollern
: kings of Romania will travel from his to the
: Hohenzollerns. The legacy of him personally
: will travel to his eldest daughter. Isn't
: that enough for him? It's really going to
: have to be.

: He can cut off personal relations with them

: he is their legitimate agnate. Another farce

:
: The Hohenzollerns are also his lawful

: BUCHAREST, Romania — Romania's 89-year-old
: deposed king on Tuesday decided to sever his
: family's ties to an ancient German royal
: dynasty that gave Romania its royal family
: more than a century ago, his lawyer said.
: Ex King Michael signed a decree ending
: "historic and dynastic links" with
: the House of Hohenzollern, which gave
: Romania its first king, Carol I, who was
: crowned in 1881, the royal house said in a
: press statement.
