He defied both Nazism and communism, he played a major role in modern Romania's development.

For example, King Mihai actually lived in the UK in the '50s where he met his future wife, Queen Anne during his visit at Queen Elizabeth's wedding in the UK. Our thoughts are with Romania, the Romanian people and Romania's Royal Family, Paul Brummell said.
