Prince Radu of Romania has won his long-running libel claim against the editor and publisher of Royalty Monthly magazine. In the article, published on 17 September 2004, Royalty Monthly falsely alleged that Prince Radu was dishonestly claiming to have been granted a title, and that he was guilty of being an officer in the Securitate secret police.
Royalty Monthly now accepts that these allegations were completely untrue and should never have been published. As well as giving a full apology to Prince Radu in the High Court in London, Royalty Monthly has agreed to pay substantial damages to Prince Radu together with his legal costs.
