The question is: has he actively pursued his claim on the throne of Romania? I know that his father expressed no interest; but the son is not necessarily the same as the father. What about his grandfather, Prince Friedrich? I know that his great-grandfather (Wilhelm) was the one who renounced his rights in favor of his younger brother who became King Ferdinand. But the latter's legitimate male-line descent is now extinct.
It seems that the Romanian royal succession is reversionary, like that of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (where the eldest brother similarly renounced his rights in favor of his younger brothers: the succession was to revert to his line in the event that their dynastic lines became extinct).
