The current Romanian royal family (of Romania, formerly named of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen), an integral part of the larger royal house of Romania, consists of the family of former King Michael of Romania who bear a royal title (i.e. Royal Highnesses). There is also an illegitimate non-royal branch which descends from Michael's older half-brother Carol Mircea Hohenzollern (also known as "Carol Mircea Grigore of Romania", al României in Romanian, on his amended Romanian birth certificate), whose members have never been recognised as part of the royal family by King Ferdinand, King Carol II or by King Michael. The former king, former queen and their five daughters renounced publicly any claim to the defunct titles Prince and Princess of Hohenzollern.
