The Custodian of the Crown of Romania Margaret wrote a letter in which she thanks Romanians for the compassion they showed upon the death of King Michael and says that “the same principles and sentiments my father had will guide the Royal Family from now on”.
The Princess writes: “I address to all my gratefulness for the kind words, affection and compassionate thoughts you have offered upon the sad occasion of my father’s passing.
King Michael was a wonderful father, a model of morality and a prominent part of our country’s contemporary history. Loyal, fair and generous, the King proved an unwavering commitment to the Nation and the Crown.
During these days we have all been proud, we have grieved and our spirits have been elevated.
The same principles and sentiments my father had will guide the Romanian Royal Family from now on.
I thank you for the force of your love and your unmatched attachment you have shown to our King, during his last days on earth. Thanks to you, these last days of grieving will remain in contemporary history”.
