The crown prince of Montenegro is simply a lovely man. The people of Montenegro must be so proud to have such a wonderful representative of their country.
Having a respected and admirable figure as a representative can indeed evoke pride and appreciation among the people. Leaders play a significant role in shaping public perception and national pride.
99% of the people in Montenegro don't even know that person exists. Of the former Yugoslavia, only Serbia has some potential to restore the Monarchy. One day maybe.
@@Aleksandar-Srbija 1000 % RIGHT---nobody knows and even don't want to know these parasites/ look at BRITISH royals-- almost degenerates /Restore the Monarchy for what ??? In 21 century it's nonsense
It is like each kingdom is having a second Renaissance in Modernity. How I miss the old and lost traditions, and this revived my interest with something I did not know was occurring. Tres intéressant et apprécié!
The Royal Family of Romania did many good things for Romania,Queen Mary was much loved in this country and her memory is still with us.King Michael,our last king was also loved for our people.They were not Romanian by blood but more trustful and competent than other local politicians.
It's wonderful to hear about the positive impact and affection for the Royal Family of Romania. Their contributions are remembered fondly by many. Thanks for your comment! 👍🏽❤️🎬
@@ingoditrust7784 SHE INFLUENCED decisive the french prime minister Clemenceau to obtain Transylvania for Romania ,she is the "mother" of Greater Romania (1918-1940)
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

No thanks .Serbia must stay as republic .Cause those ,,royalties,, are not pure blooded Slavic people ,but crypto Khazarian ones .There is no any pure blooded Serb left in country.

It is funny to even talk about Balkan Royals and not mentioning Serbian Royal family of Karadjordjevic that resides in a Royal palace in Belgrade and has a lot of its members, like Prince Aleksandar Karadjordjevic and his sons, also actively participating in Serbian cultural and political life. 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. Too bad this documentary didn't teach us anything about the rich history of these two dynasties in particular, and that's what matters the most when it comes to understanding Balkans!
What a pleasure to see Royal family, aristocrats. The effort they had to endure so they could still exist in this world to protect and guarantee us from Islamic world
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.
It's fascinating how in some republics, prominent figures like princes continue to hold significant roles in public life, contributing to charitable causes and representing their nations despite the absence of monarchy.
@@Official_RoyalworldSo why are they more important than ordinary citizens who work and pay their taxes ? Why is cult of Royalty more important than the working people cult?
They may have been ousted but the people know who truly serves them. The world over, Royalty is there to serve and its people their interests; this is often done in the background.
I would love for these monarchies to be restored. Eastern European countries are some of the few that hold on to tradition. Besides they would be great for unifying their countries and representing their countries
Beautiful heartwarming documentary. I am Romanian from my mothers side and Ukrainian polish from my father’s side. It’s beautiful to feel connected to both. Now living in 🇨🇦 still feeling very much European. ❤❤ thank you for uploading this video. Great information. It’s so great to have all this at our fingertips throughout the internet. When I was university student it would have taken 3 months in the library to research it. Now… klick and here it is. Bravo 🎉
The Romanian Dynasty has renounced to all the connections with the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. This was a decision of late King Mihai I since 2011. So now in the Royal House of Romania.
Thank you for sharing that update. The decisions made by the Romanian Dynasty are significant, and it's interesting to learn about the changes within the Royal House of Romania. 👍🏽❤️🎬
I find it strange, given the outpouring of love and support for the returning Romanian and Bulgarian monarchs, that the monarchies were never reinstated
The reinstatement of monarchies in certain countries after periods of exile or absence can indeed generate significant public interest and support. However, decisions regarding the reinstatement of monarchies often involve complex political and societal considerations.
After King Michael of Romania passed away she is the queen of Romania. They are just simbolic in Romania. Unfortunately younger generations they prefer the Prince Nicolae as the king is young married and he got a male succesor. All four sisters their are getting old.
The very first Serbian royal aristrocracy are Nemanich dinasty that ruled that part of Balcan bfore invasion of the Otoman empire(as car the Great Dusan are most famous) . ALL latter dynasties accross region are formed much latter ...Serbian dynasties Obrenivic and current Karadordevic dynasty family (current Alexandar was baptized by late Elizabeth second in London ).
In an alternative timeline, Simeon II would have been the longest reigning monarch as of 2023, surpassing King Rama IX (who ruled from 1946-2016) and Queen Elizabeth II (ruling from 1952-2022), not to mention being one of the last heads of states during WWII.
Romanian royal family & Bulgaria's royal family came from Germany & they had roman catholic religion. Romania's first two kings were roman catholic & Bulgaria's royal family apart from Boris III & Simeon II who were baptised into Eastern Orthodox, the rest were Roman catholic
Indeed, the historical ties between certain European royal families often span different regions and religions. It's interesting to explore their diverse backgrounds and how they influenced their reigns.
@@peterkarras8523 BUT THE LATE PRINCE KARDAM, ELDEST SON OF KING SIMEON WAS ORTHODOX AND HIS 2 SONS BOR,IS AND BELTRAN, ARE ORTHODOX, ALSO PRINCE KIRIL AND HIS SONS AND SIMEON HASSAN MUÑÓZ ALSO, SON OF PRINCESS KALINA.
Serbian, Greek - and the Albanian dynasty too. They have an interesting history, and Prince Leka is also playing an honourable role these days. (Of course you should, by rights, also throw in the Habsburgs, as ex-rulers of Croatia and Slovenia - but I suppose they are a chapter of their own.)
Serbians have twi competing dynasties, they wouldn't know which one to mention?! And albanian king was selfproclaimed and was not recognised by the other countries.
@@teatotal8079 Not true about Albania. King Zog WAS recognized. Just not given much importance... and treated somewhat with a barge-pole because of the strong Italian influence in Albania at the time.
Indeed, the histories of various dynasties hold intriguing stories and roles in different regions. Prince Leka and the Albanian dynasty, among others, have contributed to diverse historical narratives. Thanks for your comment. Have a look at other documentaries on our channel.
The impact of historical figures' decisions is often debated. Some believe that if Michael had remained in power, the outcome for his country might have been different. Historical events and their consequences are complex and open to various interpretations. Thanks for your comment and we recommend other documentaries on our channel.
As far as Royals have sustained the respect of citizens for centuries, they are considered the foundation of high civilizations that remains intrinsically valued at all time...
Royalty has historically represented tradition, stability, and national identity, contributing to the cultural heritage of societies. However, perceptions of royalty vary across different cultures and eras.
Excellent video. But I think that you will find that Margareta of Romania 🇷🇴 is these days known as Her Majesty The Custodian of The Romanian Crown & her husband is HRH The Prince Consort of Romania. Romanian Govt recognises this.
Titles and recognitions can vary based on interpretations and official stances. The intricacies of royal titles can differ between countries and authorities, leading to varied understandings and acknowledgments.
Romanian royal family and former king simeon are highly respected. Its a shame that as years go by. Greek royal family fades away...though prince nickolaos and prince pavlos are respectable...
It's true that different royal families have experienced varying levels of attention and respect over time. While some remain prominent, others might fade from the public eye. Prince Nikolaos and Prince Pavlos continue to maintain respect within their sphere, despite any fluctuations in overall attention to the Greek royal family. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👍🏽❤️🎬
@@Official_Royalworld prince nikolaos and crown prince pavlos are my favourite royals indeed. They maintain respect and they must never forget that they are GREEKS to the core. Hope that both brothers, respectable and dignified, they will seek a more active role, following the precedent of the Romanian royal family and Serbian royal family...Να είναι πάντα Ευλογημένοι οι χριστιανοί ορθόδοξοι ΑΝΑΚΤΕΣ!!!
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.)
Documentaries about royal families often offer fascinating insights! There might be more out there about Hungarian kings, given their rich history. Happy exploring!
@@Official_Royalworld The Habsburgs were very ambitious and powerful. Even though the former hungarian royals didn't rule anymore, that doesn't mean the families dissappeared. I am from the Bathory lineage and we still exist, we are normal people with jobs, family and trying our best to make a positive impact in our society.
All Europeans and their power cult Royals are desendants of Ghensis Khan spreading from Northern Hemisphere to Southern hemisphere and East to West. Still looting the world in the 21st Century. Read the history books instead of this Hollywood style of tinsel Town documentaries glamorizing undemocratic capitalism, feudalism, inequality, poverty of the masses globally and power baron cults!!!
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.
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.
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
This documentary made a big mistake by skipping the royal family’s of Serbia and Greece. How can it claim to be about the royal families of the Balkans without including these two important families? They skipped over Serbia from Montenegro to Romania and Bulgaria. That just displays the poor quality of this production.
It sounds like there might have been a significant oversight in the documentary. Including key royal families from the Balkans would have provided a more comprehensive view of the region's history.
@@Official_Royalworld I thank you too,it was very well documented+sad for me at times as i knew beloved King Mikhail+uncrowned beloved Queen Anne since i was very little aged 3.
The acquisition of historic houses often involves complex histories and varied means of acquisition over time. Understanding their origins can reveal interesting insights into their past.
@@Official_Royalworld I think what Milan means is that they own things they haven't earned, but inherited, through money or land. They are just rich people with titles, because those don't matter anymore. No wonder why the communists kicked them out, they yearn for a way of life that doesn't exist anymore.
The choice of location may spark interpretations, but it's important to consider various factors influencing their presence in a particular country. Historical and personal connections often play a role in travel decisions.
What is the meaning of : "Romania are not abdicated legaly" ? ..... It makes no sense in english. ..... Romania is a country ; it can not abdicate (legally or illegally).
I am really surprised they didn’t mention Catherine Oxenburg because she is the queen of Yugoslavia. But these people are very sophisticated because they speak French like the British royal family did long ago.
I believe because serbiand have two competing dynasties in egzile,they don't know ehich one to mention,one dynasty settled in UK and the other one in France.
It's intriguing how some individuals might not be prominently mentioned despite their significant roles or connections. Language and cultural ties can indeed link individuals across different backgrounds and histories. Thanks for your comment, and we have more documentaries on our channel for you. 👍🏽❤️🎬
Catherine oxenberg was not raised in the Jewish religion. She was baptized in the Serbian Orthodox Church And Jewess is a derogatory term for a Jewish woman or girl!!
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
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.
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?
@@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.
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.
@@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.
Serbia has an active Royal Family, but not in power. They have returned to Belgrade in 2001. We also had some Royal funerals, weddings, and baptisings. The Royal Family belongs here, whether or not Serbia will restore its Monarchy, remains to be seen.
Serbia's Royal Family has made a significant return to Belgrade since 2001, partaking in various ceremonies. Their presence remains, awaiting Serbia's decision on restoring the monarchy.
Indeed, some monarchies historically preferred marriages within their families for various reasons, a practice not limited to European royalty. Different cultures and regions have their unique traditions.
Is that just NATO exclusive Royalty 's on Balkan, because I have noticed that you completely skiped Serbian Royal Family! Even not all NATO Countrys are not mention like Greek and Albanian! What I have learn in my 50 years of life is when West mention anyone (from Balkan or elsewhere) in Positive contexts, means West WANT SOMETHING FROM THEM! EDIT: Montenegrian Royal and Serbian Royal family is relatives.
The representation of different royal families in media or discussions can vary and might not cover all. Historical and geopolitical factors often influence the portrayal of individuals or groups. ❤️🎬
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.
@@Official_Royalworld But Govt recognises Margareta as Her Majesty, Custodian of The Romanian Crown. Even The President refers to her as Your Majesty.
@@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.

I am sorry to tell you that Romania is not part of the Balkans. The Balkan Mountains are in the south of the Danube. In the north of the Danube are the Carpathians. In the Wiki you can find out the details in detail.
@@Official_Royalworlddon't worry, we have in Romania some weird guys especially from Transylvania which wants to be labeled as "central European", even though we are split in 3 big european regions, East, Central, Balkans
@@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.
Romania a Balkanic country? Just southern and eastern Romania, Fame! The western part of Romania is a part of Central Europe, geografically and historical! Make the difference!

The history of Balkan royal families is indeed complex. While the Karadjordjevic family is historically rooted in Serbia, other Balkan royal lineages often have ties and origins from different European countries. Each family has its unique history and background, shaped by various influences over time.
That's faulse the Albanian royal family of Zog was clearly Albanian. Also when Albania was a principality in 1914 the princess Maria had Albanian roots (Gjika Family) and also Greek ( Katakouzinos Family).
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.
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
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.
There is nothing better about a soulless modern state as the communist state is, to consider the post world war two political landscape as an evolution to a higher state is very fallacious.

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.
You're right, Romania is often considered part of the Balkans culturally, but geographically, it's more in Eastern Europe. Geography and cultural associations can sometimes differ.
@@Official_Royalworld If you take a ruler and a map of Europe you might see that Romania is kind of in the center. The Carpathian Mountains are in Romania. If you look them up, you find that : "The Carpathian Mountains or Carpathians are a range of mountains forming an arc across Central Europe." ...... Funny how the country where the Carpathian arc is located all of a sudden moved east. ...... Why certain entities want that Romania to be part of Eastern Europe, when geographically it is not ?
