...Thank you, as always, Marlene for your insight. <br /><br />Additional question for you. The Romanian Royal House has a semi-official status of a former ruling house, and the state's legislature is now considering an even more official status. For official constitutional monarchies, there are governing laws/policies and procedures for changing the succession. For example, Queen Elizabeth II cannot remove her successors from succession at her will and pleasure, as those changes are acts of parliament. With the proposed legislation in Romania, will the succession to the family remain with the headship of the family or will the state have a say?

Kardam's elder son has not been named as Prince of Turnovo, although some sites, such as Wikipedia, assume that he has the title. It is not inherited but bestowed - and Simeon said a year or so ago that he will not bestow the title on his grandson. Kardam's two sons have no real tie to Bulgaria. Their lives are far more Spanish than Bulgarian-centric. Simeon's website in English does not include Kardam's death in his biography, although there are photos from his funeral. Germany, for example, since 1919. titles have become one's surname, but titles are used socially. When the head of the family dies. their successors (not all) go to court to change their surname from Prinz to Herzog or Fürst (whatever the title). Others do not change the name but are the titular head of a house. King Simeon will be the last to be styled officially as King of the Bulgarians, but his grandson will become the de jure king of the BulgariansMarlene Eilers Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984860671065161997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-76893450493583088542017-11-17T12:09:21.083-05:002017-11-17T12:09:21.083-05:00I find Paige's thoughts to be interesting.

Yet, Tsar Simeone II, who lost power in 1946, named his son, Kardem, born in 1962, the Prince of Tarnovo (akin to crown prince, like the Prince of Wales is in the UK). And since Kardem's passing in 2015, his oldest son has held that title. I'm supposing that when it comes to former ruling houses, there is not a holistic rhyme or reason?

Property has already been restored .. yes, there is a succession to the head of the family, to properties and so on. At this time, the titles are used official in Romania. Elisabetha Palace is the official residence of the royal family (and right now for the life of the King, but the legislation will extend that, if passed). In Serbia, Alexander's title is recognized and used officially. In Montenegro, Prince Nikola has an official position and was given a home.Marlene Eilers Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984860671065161997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-2684354277618505842017-11-17T11:23:21.928-05:002017-11-17T11:23:21.928-05:00No, no, I was acknowledging that you said Pavlos w...No, no, I was acknowledging that you said Pavlos was born while his father was still King and was therefore he became the Crown Prince. You have given other examples stating that royal families accepted the titles they had prior to the King going into exile. So I thought it interesting that Romania is no longer a ruling house (although still a Royal house), and King Michael's daughters were all born AFTER he lost power, yet still claim to be a Crown Princess to a non-existent Crown...and he cut his grandson out of a non-existent succession.<br /><br />But then I also find the claimants of the non-existent French throne to be fascinating.Paige Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05862452943035457653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-70280627611636980892017-11-17T08:26:44.331-05:002017-11-17T08:26:44.331-05:00I’m from United States, My husband divorced me 3 y...I’m from United States, My husband divorced me 3 years ago for no reason, i did all i could to get him but didn't work, until i met Dr.Agbazara of AGBAZARA TEMPLE on the internet who helped me to cast a re-union spell and within 24hours my husband came back to me apologizing.

According to the bill now before the Romanian Parliament, all properties of the Royal house in Romania (which presumably were all restituted to the person of King Michael himself) will come under the custodianship of the Head of the Royal House of Romania, as dictated by the 2007 Fundamental House Rules - dynastic changes which are also to be enshrined in law if the proposed legislation passes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340549110416377540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-44608689983088066952017-11-16T16:31:08.807-05:002017-11-16T16:31:08.807-05:00the monarchy may not exist but that does not mean ...the monarchy may not exist but that does not mean a royal family does not exist. Even in exile, titles are acknowledged by other royal houses. Romania recognizes these royal titles. Margarita was named as the heir. This was a bit tricky because the last monarchical constitution was in 1923 - and it salic law. But Michael having no sons had to do something - and if Romania still had a monarchy - the law would have been changed. In Romania, the family has semi-official status and may get more official status.

As I understand it, when a monarchy is overthrown or the monarch abdicates, they are (or may be) referred to in the highest title they ever held..such as King Michael. So all of the children of King Michael were born after the monarchy was overthrown. I can understand still referring to them as Prince or Princess. But how does one become Crown Princess when one was not born until after the monarchy ceased to exist and there is no longer a crown?Paige Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05862452943035457653noreply@blogger.com
