Some claim that political influences had been exerted upon King Michael through this liaison.

King Michael of Rumania, who has been living in exile for 42 years, wants his throne back.

The Government said that King Michael failed to get permission for the visit.

Romania is to stay a republic, suggesting the country's new rulers see little future for the former King Michael.

And that doesn't even consider the crypt at King Michael's!

And so King Michael has been enrolled to be ambassador-at-large for the long-shot cause.

King Michael is enjoying himself too much to pay any attention to an urgent message brought by a courier from his capital.

King Michael said, "I really don't understand what's the matter with them."

In fact, several experts say they expect the suit against King Michael to be dismissed on those grounds.

King Michael's lawyers will not say whether their client, who lives in a villa outside Geneva, took the paintings or still has any of them.
