Prince Radu, spouse of Custodian of the Crown of Romania, Margareta, welcomed on Monday at the Elisabeta Palace the participants in this year's Veterans Relay race, applauding them as setters of one of the most beautiful examples to society, told Agerpres.
"We consider you to be one of the most beautiful examples the society has at hand every day for understanding how life is worth living and what is really important in our existence, as sadly we often see that your model of behavior and professional conduct comes somehow in contrast with what happens in everyday life," His Royal Highness said.
Prince Radu also congratulated the participants in the fourth edition of the Royal Duathlon for their results and for the "wonderful impression made on the community".
The representative of the Invictus Volunteer Association, Marian Ilie, gave an emotional address to the Royal Family of Romania and those in attendance.
