Balkan Royals | Aristocracy after Communism

Balkan Royals - The royal families are back in the Balkans. Once ousted by the communists, they now enjoy a high reputation again. Externally, they act as representatives of their states; internally, as moral and neutral institutions.
Balkan Royals (2018)
Director: Alix François Meier
Genre: Documentary
Country: Germany
Language: English
Synopsis:
After the fall of the iron curtain, the aristocrats experience an impressive comeback in some of the post-communist states. The documentation portrays three examples of old royal dynasties that became important and powerful in the post-communism and brings its history back to life.
The film introduces Bulgaria’s Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Montenegro’s heir apparent, Nicholas, Crown Prince of Montenegro as well as the already deceased Michael I of Romania and his daughter Crown Princess Margareta as representatives for the present and past of three east-European dynasties.
The aristocracy was ostracized in the communist countries of eastern Europe and central Europe. In times of focusing on the own national identity, the Royals became in different ways more and more important. On the one hand, the royal houses are an essential part of the country’s history and were responsible for a lot of historiography in the regions they ruled and help today’s countries to have something to identify with. On the other hand, their representatives stand stability the countries had long waited for.

King Boris III had a daughter, Maria Louise who married a German prince, Karl von Leningen, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth. After the abolition of the monarchy he moved to Toronto. He had two grand daughters who went to Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. When the Rabbi in Kingston heard about this he invited to come to his chapel to honour them as a tribute to their grandfather for the humanity he showed during World War II, but they politely refused. Some time after migrating to Canada Prince Karl vanished and no one knew what became of him. It was only in September 1990 in a small village in Norther Israel that it was discovered that he had been quietly living there incommunicado

They are the first cousins of Princ Nikola Petrovic of Montenegro and its impossible to even talk about any of these Royal families neither Serbian nor Montenegin separately. Serbia and Montenegro are consisted of the same people, with the same origin just living in a two neighbouring territories.

What I find most interesting is that these countries are republics but the role of princes is well regarded in these countries. In other words, they appear in public at inaugurations, they are leaders of charities and governments do not prohibit them from doing this. They represent their nations even though they are not monarchies.

Most of the Balkan royals (I include Greece and Romania here) except Serbia and Montenegro seem to have been of German or Danish origin.The last 2 countries had royals of Slavic origin and Albania at first had a German as sovereign and later a locally born king.(Zog)The Italian king married the daughter of the king of Montenegro and later the Bulgarian king married one of their daughters.When Croatia was made into an axis puppet state a son of the Italian king and his Montenegrin wife was designated as king - I suppose being half slavic gave him a degree of legitimacy but the prince never took up the role and remained in Italy.

[@Official_Royalworld]

The royal lineages in the Balkans have indeed showcased a blend of various origins, including German, Danish, Slavic, and others. The complex intermarriages between different European royal families during certain periods had an impact on the region's monarchy, fostering connections and occasionally shaping perceptions of legitimacy within those monarchies. Thanks your comment.

These people came from one blood line and repeated marriages of their 1,2 or 3 cousins. Keeping the wealth in the family.

[@kaloarepo288]

I doubt if they would have been able to keep the family wealth over 3 or 4 different countries - the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha royals ruled in Britain,Portugal,Belgium and Bulgaria as well as their tiny micro states within the German empire and each would have been totally separate and contained.Royals for the Balkan countries once independence was achieved - usually from the Ottoman empire- were chosen from minor states like Denmark and the aforesaid German micro states to avoid them being partial to one of the European super powers like Britain, France and Russia. In the case of Italy the Savoy dynasty there earned the deep displeasure of the pope as united Italy displaced the temporal power of the papacy so that no of the major catholic European dynasties would marry into the Italian royal family so they had to look elsewhere and tiny Orthodox Montenegro was the choice - and queen Elena daughter of king Nicholas(The only ever Montenegrin king) was willing to convert to Catholicism@@cherylbristol5144

There is no longer a "Hungarian dynasty". The Habsburgs have been the only royal family ruling Hungary since the 16th century. Francis Joseph was the first Habsburg to be solemnly crowned King of Hungary - separately from his imperial title - in 1867, followed by the last King of Hungary, Charles IV (IV in Hungary, I in Austria), crowned in 1916. The only heir to the crown of Hungary today is Karl von Habsburg. (P.S. I did not mention Hungary in my earlier comment because it is not part of the Balkans, and this is about Balkan kings.)

and that castle, Peles, is in Transylvania, my ancestral land on my father's side :))) those mountains are the Carpathians and that whole region is embraced by them. It's gorgeous, studded with natural streams, caves, deep valleys,, high peaks, and the last brown bear population in Europe, and really lovely people, the seclars (Hungarians). I spent many of my holidays there, with family. It's home, too.x

[@Official_Royalworld]

How wonderful to have such a rich connection to a beautiful region like Transylvania! It sounds like a breathtaking place with a lot of cherished memories for you.

[@drahthaar4]

Since when Peles castle is in Transilvania ??? ........ And Hungarians in Sinaia (that is where the castle is)??? ...... What are you smoking? ...... I bet you never set foot over there..... I don't know what seclars are. May be you wanted to write "Szeklers" (which are not really Hungarians). .... Do you know any words in Romanian?

[@darcyroyce]

@@drahthaar4 since Sinaia is 45km from Brasov which we know it is on the borders of Transylvania. :) Equally, there are szeklers (I'm sorry, that's how they're called) all over Transylvania and Banat (that's the region near the border with Hungary, and where my mother's from) and they identify as Hungarians, with a specific thick accent. :)) I speak both Romanian and Hungarian on a native level.

[@SKARA101]

The lovely people are romanians and hungarians. Demographs available done by different countries(France,Germany,USA,UK) since Transylvania was under austro-hungarian crown display that the majority of Transylvania was populated by ethnic romanians, especially the villages and countryside. Hungarians resided in some big cities and the Székelyföld. Székelyföld refers to a part in the eastern Transylvania.

[@darcyroyce]

@@SKARA101 I don't know where you get your facts from - simply check out statistics from when the szeklers have settled in Transylvania and why Hungarians in Banat (clue before and after Trianon treaty). . I don't know about big cities (what bit cities in the interbelum times, eh?) I grew up in a Hungarian village surrounded by tons of other Hungarian villages and Romanian villages as well. That's the reality. I lived it.

If the King of Rumania died in 2017, then why isn’t his daughter Queen now?

[@Official_Royalworld]

The Romanian monarchy was abolished in 1947, so there's no current monarchy or queen in Romania. The passing of the King of Romania in 2017 didn't reinstate the monarchy.

[@matthewreynolds7260]

​@@Official_Royalworld But Govt recognises Margareta as Her Majesty, Custodian of The Romanian Crown. Even The President refers to her as Your Majesty.

[@arde29]

@@matthewreynolds7260 that's due to the respect they show to the Royal House of Romania as a result of the work done by the royals during these last 30 years since communism fell. Monarchy could only be reinstated through Parliament approval and a change in Constitution. A referendum might also be required but at the moment the general Romanian public has an apathy on this subject and I fear such a referendum might result inconclusive.

[@iespeafara]

@@flexparachute actually the Balkan peninsula geographically extends up to the Danube as its northern border. That means Romania has approximately 10% of its territory in the Balkans. Up to you to decide if that makes it a Balkan country or not. 10% vs 90% would rather position Romania outside of Balkans but definitely has Balkan culture influence in the southern part of the country.

Let us say, that monarchy has no place in modern society, but the elegance of a nation could be represented by them in a way. A Monarch could be the representative of unity in a country.

[@mypointofview1111]

Isn't that something the people of any country can do? IMO royals are a symbol of an infantile society and are easily corrupt. A stable society that has opportunities for its citizens has no need of royal families

[@Official_Royalworld]

Indeed, the role of monarchy often symbolizes tradition and unity for some nations, despite debates about its place in modern society. The ceremonial aspect can hold cultural significance for many.

The history of Balkan royal families is indeed complex.

Each family has its unique history and background, shaped by various influences over time.

So many factual errors. Among others, king Nikola didn't proclaimed union with Serbia, The Podgorica Assembly did. Also, when you show the unification you show today borders of Montenegro and Serbia and also exclude Macedonia from the map of Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and include Istria and Zara, that were part of the Kingdom of Italy. Such an amateur work done by the production.

It's disappointing when historical inaccuracies detract from the authenticity of a production. Errors in representing historical events or borders can impact the credibility of the portrayal. Accuracy is crucial, especially in historical narratives, to honor the events and those involved.
