King Mihai of Romania and his family
grandduchessella:
I saw that King Michael of Romania is part of the Romanian delegation to the Pope's funeral. I presume he is Greek Orthodox not Roman Catholic and since he doesn't rule the country does anyone know why he's going? Did he have a personal relationship for example?
grandduchessella:
Read on another board that KM was invited to Russia as part of the VE Day celebrations. The ex-King was surpised by the invitation by the Russian government given their history.
An interesting note--while KM might not be a reigning head of state anymore, he is still the only living head of state from that era. I hadn't really thought about that.
I wonder if he's going to go?
TampaBay:
King Micheal may not be a "Head of State" but he seems to get invited to all the right "Politico" things by all the right "Politicos".

frederika:
is queen Anna of Romania a relation to Princess Maria Louisa of Bulgaria?
Robert_Hall:
Yes. Both being progeny of the prolific Roberto. Maria Luisa was a daughter, Anne a grand-daughter, her father being Rene, Roberto's son from his second marriage and therefore M-L's half brother.
I think I have that right.
