Romania’s former king, Michael I, addressed the Parliament Tuesday, on his 90th birthday and 64 years after his forced abdication in 1947.

King Michael of Romania announced Tuesday he is renouncing his historic and dynastic ties to the House of Hohenzollern, as well as the titles "Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen."

Romania’s state patrimony administration RA-APPS will require Romania’s King Michael to pay administrative expenses for the royal Elisabeta Palace in capital Bucharest, people in the institution told MEDIAFAX, adding the state doesn’t have enough money for these costs.
