Balkan Royals (2018)
Director: Alix François Meier
Genre: Documentary
Country: Germany
Language: English

Synopsis:
After the fall of the iron curtain, the aristocrats experience an impressive comeback in some of the post-communist states. The documentation portrays three examples of old royal dynasties that became important and powerful in the post-communism and brings its history back to life.

The film introduces Bulgaria’s Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Montenegro’s heir apparent, Nicholas, Crown Prince of Montenegro as well as the already deceased Michael I of Romania and his daughter Crown Princess Margareta as representatives for the present and past of three east-European dynasties.

The aristocracy was ostracized in the communist countries of eastern Europe and central Europe. In times of focusing on the own national identity, the Royals became in different ways more and more important. On the one hand, the royal houses are an essential part of the country’s history and were responsible for a lot of historiography in the regions they ruled and help today’s countries to have something to identify with. On the other hand, their representatives stand stability the countries had long waited for.
