As Britain awaits Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's impending marriage, Romania is set to have its own royal wedding in September as Nicolae Medforth-Mills, the late ex-king Michael I's grandson, is set to wed his partner, artist Alina-Maria Binder.

Members of several European royal houses, as well as royals from as far away as Bahrain and Japan, are set to gather in Bucharest at the end of the week to attend the funeral of Romania's last monarch, King Michael I, who died last week aged 96.

The king died at his modest residence in the village of Aubonne , in Switzerland, after over a year of battling cancer.

Romania's former king, Michael I, passed away on Tuesday aged 96 at his residence in Versoix, near Geneva in Switzerland, following a battle with cancer, the royal family announced.

Michael, 94, a cousin of Britain's Queen Elizabeth and the last surviving head of state from World War II, retired from public life in spring 2016.

Princess Margareta and Prince Radu, accompanied by Princess Maria and Prince Nicolae, will go on a symbolic trip by the royal train on December 1, Romania's National Day, to pay homage to the sovereigns of the Greater Romania, King Ferdinand and Queen Maria of Romania, the Royal House reports in a press release.
