Family of Carol Mircea Hohenzollern
Carol Mircea was the illegitimate son of King Carol II of Romania and his first wife Zizi Lambrino. Carol Mircea was born after the annulment of his parents marriage. In denial of the fact that both King Ferdinand and King Carol II refused to recognise his legitimacy, he went to court many years after the collapse of the monarchy to change matters. He won court cases in Portugal, France and Romania recognising him as a legitimate son of Carol II, even though this was clearly not the case. The family's pretentons to royal titles and membership of the Royal Family were not recognised by King Ferdinand or King Carol II. This continues to be the case under King Michael I of Romania. No foreign court recognises them as being royal. Paul-Philippe Hohenzollern opposes King Michael's decision to break ties with the House of Hohenzollern. His opinions though are only those of a private and non-Romanian, German citizen.

“If you have this enormous talent, it’s got you by the balls, it’s a demon. You can’t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn’t that nice a guy.”

“Then bowed down the highest tree
unto his mother’s hand;
Then she cried, “See, Joseph,
I have cherries at command.””
