Why was Prince Carol removed from the royal house?

  • Renounced succession rights

  • Political disagreements

  • Personal scandal

  • Military defeat

Answer

Prince Carol renounced his succession rights to the Romanian throne in 1925 to marry his mistress, Magda Lupescu. The Romanian royal family and government opposed the marriage due to Lupescu's commoner status and reputation. Despite attempts to reconcile with his family, King Ferdinand, Carol's father, remained firm in his decision to exclude Carol from the line of succession.
