Prince Radu of Romania is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on June 7, 1960 in Iași, Iași, Romania. Prince Radu of Romania (born Radu Duda on 7 June 1960, known as Prince Radu of Hohenzollern- Veringen from 1999 to 2007) is the husband of Margareta of Romania, head of the House of Romania and a disputed pretender to the former Romanian throne. On 1 January 1999, he was given the name, not title, of “Prince of Hohenzollern-Veringen” by Friedrich Wilhelm, Prince of Hohenzollern, the Head of the Sigmaringen branch of the Hohenzollern family. He has also called himself “Radu Hohenzollern-Veringen-Duda”. Since 2007, when he had his legal name changed from “Radu Duda” to “Radu al României Duda”, Radu no longer uses the name of Hohenzollern. The Fundamental Rules of the Romanian Royal Family, proclaimed by former King Michael I on 30 December 2007, gave Radu the title of “Prince of Romania”, with the style of “Royal Highness”, which King Michael had given him earlier on 5 January 2005.
On 1 January 1999, Friedrich Wilhelm, Prince of Hohenzollern, granted Radu an ad personam title of “Prince of Hohenzollern-Veringen” (German: Prinz von Hohenzollern-Veringen). In August 2004, representatives of Friedrich Wilhelm’s eldest son Karl Friedrich, Hereditary Prince of Hohenzollern, accused Radu of using the Hohenzollern name without permission as well as of having demanded “considerable” sums of money from whoever may be interested in buying it. Karl Friedrich also warned Radu that the Hohenzollern family would take “legal measures” in case these things were to happen again and demanded that he cease to use the title of “Prince of Hohenzollern-Veringen”. In a 2009 interview, Karl Friedrich re-iterated these demands and stated that his father has no right to issue titles in a republic, calling Radu’s title “of Hohenzollern- Veringen” a “farce.” Since then King Michael has severed all ties with the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, ordering that all such titles once used were no longer appropriate for use by any member of the Romanian Royal House.
In 2002, he graduated from the National College of Defence of Romania, and the George C. Marshall College, Garmisch, Germany. In August 2004 he participated in the two-week Program for Senior Executives in National and International Security at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Prince Radu’s lectures address topics related to Romania’s integration into the Euro-Atlantic structures, defense, and security, geopolitics and diplomacy, culture, economics, and education. He has equally spoken out about the issue of ethnic minorities, in particular about the Romani minority, an important issue for Romania and South Eastern Europe today, through conferences in Romania and around Europe, in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Finland, etc. His activity report “2005 Annual Report and 2002–2004 Retrospective” is available in English and Romanian on his official website.
Prince Radu is the author of several books: Dincolo de mască (Bucharest: Unitext, 1997), L’Âme du masque (Brussels, 1998), Război, un exil, o viață (Bucharest, 2000; translated into English as Anne of Romania: A War, an Exile, a Life, Bucharest: Romanian Cultural Foundation, 2002), Michael of Romania: A Tribute (San Francisco and Bucharest, 2001), Kildine (Bucharest, 2003; a translation into Romanian of the fairy-tales book of Queen Marie of the Romanians), Seven (Bucharest: Nemira, 2003), The Royal Family of Romania (Bucharest: Humanitas, 2004), Persona (Bucharest: Nemira, 2006), The Elisabeta Palace (Bucharest: Humanitas, 2006).
