Today
we celebrate together the 150th anniversary of Prince Carol I’s swearing of the
oath of faith to our country. The same year, the Sovereign promulgated the
constitution that defined our country as “a single indivisible state, named
Romania.”
They
were the hardest and most blessed years in our history. Never have we known such
sacrifice and suffering, but never have we enjoyed so much development and
freedom.
Over
the course of one and a half centuries, the Crown has given Romanians
confidence and pride; it has provided an example and enthusiasm, always showing
the path forward. The Crown’s beneficial influence on society has increased
from one generation to the next.
The
country’s Kings and Queens have contributed to the creation of a modern
Romania, to the construction of our civil society, politics, economy,
educational system, and culture. They have served the interests of the nation
with loyalty, love, and faith.
The
Crown is a part of our national identity, and our King and country are today
united in mutual trust and respect.
The
best way of showing our love for His Majesty King Michael is to be patriotic,
to demonstrate civic awareness, and to respect each other.
The Royal Family will always be united with the
Romanian people and will continue to do what they have always done: to join
with all their strength in building a dignified, stable and prosperous Romania.
So help us God!
