HM The King has officially broken all ties and titles with the Hohenzollern Sigmaringen hashbash,
and from may 10th 2011 will only be known as the Royal House of Romania.

Excellent!Let the H-S rattle and ramble what they like,as if they have any importance....
Defunct and degenerated Household,in contradiction with the Royal House of Romania
that gains in favour and respect in Romania,and well earned.

Surprised about that. Were there any conflicts between the families?

Just the bickering of the H-S's branch about titles et all and other stuff not relevant for a defunct
house of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.HM was probably more then fet up with the whole lot so he,
wisely,broke all ties with the german branch as well as any claims to any of their titles.In accordance
with the initial wish of King FerdinandDefunct,yes,the House of Romania is defunct as well,I know,but
it gains more and more momentum and respect in its own country.Very much so,and on all levels.

Does this move have any relation to the succession to the Romanian crown?

[Lucien]

None.Crown Princess Margarita is still that,a Crown Princess and will remain that,albeit of a defunct House,
but still,seldom a defunct House enjoyed so much respect and love by the people.No more backstabbing
backward moves by distant german aquanteces and their no use to anyone stance in anything.Vamos
para siempre!

Thanks Lucien!

I always liked the house of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. But not really familiar with the new Prince of HS.
