Article on HM King Michael in the October ’11 issue of Majesty magazine

Dear readers,

The British monthly magazine “Majesty” has just published a richly illustrated article written by Diana Mandache and the undersigned with the occasion of the celebration of King Michael of Romania‘s 90th birthday on 25 October. This is our humble homage to His Majesty’s remarkable life, personality and achievements, and of all what he represents for the identity and history of his country!

The magazine cover is presented in the first image here, while the second, bellow, shows the first text page of the article. Majesty magazine is for sale at good newsagents in the United Kingdom and in the larger US cities and other English speaking countries.

I would like to cite here, for you, two short excerpts from the article:

King Michael stands high among royals throughout the world for having fulfilled his mission to be an example to his people, and for courageously defending their freedom against the many vicissitudes that befell that part of Eastern Europe.

***

King Michael, a great personality who has decisively influenced and determined the history of his country, survived a tumultuous period. His actions saved Romania from catastrophe during the Second World War, and his uncompromising moral stand throughout his life, however difficult the personal circumstances were, constitute a supreme example for his countrymen and the rest of the world.

Valentin Mandache, expert in Romania’s historic houses.
