King Mihai I's grandson Nicolae Medforth-Mills said Wednesday that he will not join what he termed ''the dirty game'' of the Royal House, adding that he will respect his grandfather in these difficult times.
''It saddens me deeply and I do not understand the aggression of the royal house to do everything possible to prevent me from seeing my grandfather and to discredit my image. I will not join this dirty game. I will choose to respect my grandfather in these difficult times, because that is the proper and Christian thing to do,'' he wrote in a Facebook post in Romanian.
His reaction came after King Mihai I's Press Office announced that a report was filed with the Swiss Police after Tuesday night Nicholas Medforth-Mills, a nephew of the former royal, attempted unlawful entry into Mihai I's residence in Switzerland. The incident is said to have occurred just one hour after King Mihai had received the Holy Communion from an envoy from Metropolitan Bishop Iosif of Western and Southern Europe.
On Monday, the Royal House announced that King Michael's general condition had worsened and the royal displayed continuing weakness, adding that Crown Princess Margareta returned to Switzerland.
