King Mihai I's Press Office says in a press release issued on Tuesday that the book, published by the Curtea Veche publishing house "follows Romania's journey from a country marred by serious issues to a country that reached a balanced affirmation, with the help of never published before pictures of the Royal family taken at public and private events."

The launch ceremony will be held in the presence of Princess Margareta and Prince Radu.

On January 18, 2015, it was 25 years since the arrival of Princess Margareta on Romania's soil.

Talking about that fateful day, Princess Margareta said: "That was the most important day in my life, a strong emotional experience and a journey that changed my life. I had not had any real home before because to me Romania was at home, but the country had been forbidden to me. I was feeling like a part of my father was returning from exile. That was a huge responsibility and at the same time a huge joy." AGERPRES
