On Saturday afternoon, the viewing of the documentary was held at the National Theatre. Volunteers and members of the Margarita of Romania Foundation also performed a number of pieces of classical music. Accompanied only by her husband Prince Radu, Custodian of the Crown Margarita delivered a speech. Here is some of what she said:
“I remember very well the moment when I first came to Romania, thirty years ago…when for the first time in my life I felt like a complete person and not like a person without a shadow, as I felt before. But when I set my foot here for the first time, I felt complete. It is very touching and I am proud, and I want to thank everyone who helped us because it is quite clear I could not have done all this alone.”

On Saturday evening, a dinner reception was held at the Royal Palace, which is now a museum. The Royal Palace is used by the royal family on certain occasions, with permission from the government. The dinner was followed by a concert at the Atheneum in Bucharest, which has often hosted events for the Margarita of Romania Foundation. Over 700 guests were present for this event. Besides the Custodian of the Crown and her husband, the royal guests were: Princess Helen and her husband Alexander Nixon, Princess Sophie, and Crown Prince Leka of the Albanians. Romanian Prime Minister Ludovic Orban, who has acknowledged that he is a monarchist, attended with his wife Mihaela and they sat next to the Custodian of the Crown in the royal box. At one point, Princess Sophie gave a speech where she paid tribute to Margarita: “I love you, sister. To the core of my being. I have tried to be a good sister, and we both have striven to be good Romanians.” The Custodian of the Crown was very moved by Sophie’s words. As the royal family is close to the diplomatic corps in Bucharest, many diplomats were present, including U.S. ambassador Adrian Zuckerman. Former Romanian president Emil Constantinescu and Sir George Iacobescu, the only Romanian to be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, were among the guests. Soprano Nelly Miricioiu, who has performed at Covent Garden in London, took to the stage of the Atheneum and awed the guests with her musical gifts.
