It's a miracle!

First the violet flame, then the miraculous conception! It's all happening in the country of my heart! Bravo!

Does anyone actually believe such drivel, after all? A 56 year old woman who couldn't become pregnant 5 years ago now has and her child is supposed to be, just by chance, first in the queue for the Roumanian throne! Oh, hang on - Princess Lia of Roumania (it rhymes beautifully, doesn't it) is not 56 at all - she's actually 61 (all the more miraculous) - born February 23rd, 1949 in Illinois of Roumanian mother and American father. Handy to have a Roumanian mother when you plan to marry a fake Roumanian prince!

Perhaps, in retrospection, this is a joke to cheer everyone up? Well, it certainly had us laughing.

Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai!

Below from the Bucharest Herald, amongst other sources, which begins with the most marvellous first paragraph of the biggest load of piffle you ever read in your life:

Princess Lia, pregnant at 56, to give birth to the “heir of the royal family”

Pregnancies at older ages are no longer a surprise nowadays. If most women schedule their pregnancy around 30, when they have reached a certain financial and professional stability, there are also women who, from various other reasons, among which medical problems as well, become mothers at the age when other women already have grandchildren. This is the case of Princess Lia of Romania as well, who is pregnant at 56. the good news came three months ago in the house of the couple.

This will be the first child of Paul and Lia. The princess was pregnant a few years ago, but lost the child and hopes this time she will manage to give birth to the child without problems. 

The future mother confirmed the pregnancy and said that she feels very well and has had no problem so far. Price Paul stated that princess Lia and him have wanted a heir for a long time and tried to have a child 5 years ago, but this was not possible.   

Paul of Romania is all the more happy as he pretends his future child, not the daughters of King Mihai of Hohenzollern, is the real heir of the royal family as his father, Prince Mircea Carol  is the first born of King Carol the 2nd.

Paul Filip Lambrino self proclaimed "Prince Paul of Romania", is the son of Mircea Grigore Carol Lambrino (known as Mircea Grigore Carol Hohenzollern), the son of Carol of Romania with Zizi Lambrino. After two paternity trials in Portugal and France, won by his father, trials in which besides the right to use the "Hohenzollern" name and the right to the fortune of King Carol the 2nd, did not give him any royal right or title. The legal name of Paul, acknowledge in EU Paul Hohenzollern.

Paul’s mother is Helene Nagavitzine, the first wife of Mircea Grigore Carol. Paul claims he is the real successor to Romania’s throne, although the marriage of Carol the 2nd with Zizi Lambrino was annulled by the Supreme Court of Romania in 1919, one year before Mircea Carol’s birth. Paul was not acknowledged prince by the Royal House of Romania.

In 1995 he married at Casin Monastery, the American of Romanian origin Lia Triff and moved to Romania. In 2000 run for Romania’s presidency but lost with only 55.238 votes (0.49 per cent).

Thank you to my fabulous researcher (:)) for sending the below article to me. Hmm, she's quite something this Princess Lia (or Princess Paul as she prefers to be known) - she was first married, at the age of 23 to Belli, a bigshot lawyer who defended dodgy clients of mafioso shadiness...and made a huge heap on the divorce before going on to marry the fake prince. Incidentally, she is being sued by her own daughter for abusing her trust-fund which kind of says a lot for her maternity skills. From San Francisco Weekly:

When Belli married Lia, she was a 23-year-old student at the University of Maryland and he a 65-year-old lawyer who had long been famous. Lia Belli took easily to San Francisco society. She was a director of protocol for the city government and a minor player in state Democratic politics. Lia ran unsuccessfully for the state Senate, but was twice head of the California Democratic Caucus. Former President Jimmy Carter appointed her a special affairs assistant. Lia was also an A-list socialite and party hostess extraordinaire. The couple's Broadway mansion saw such guests as South African Bishop Desmond Tutu and distant parts of various royal families.

The Bellis' divorce is probably more famous than anything they did while married. The event played out in the press for months. Lia accused her husband of violence. He accused her of affairs with everyone from Tutu to the house staff. (Only a few years before, Belli had been involved in a lawsuit over fees in which he admitted having a sexual relationship with the heiress to the Eli Lilly pharmaceutical fortune, who was a client.)

The couple fought over everything, including a heavily contested custody battle for one of the dogs, an Italian Greyhound named Whelldone Rumproast IV.

It seemed that no one would say "uncle," and the fight was pricey. In the end, a judge sealed the Belli divorce file, owing to concerns about their young daughter, Melia, and the media circus that surrounded her battling parents. But Belli later said that the split had cost him $15 million. Lia was awarded support payments of nearly $20,000 a month, and got custody of the couple's mansion on Broadway, in which they remained joint owners.

The split was so acrimonious that one of the contested Belli wills includes the following statement: "I charge my executors to see that nothing, but absolutely nothing, goes to Lia Triff, and I charge them to contest ultimately any claim by this miserable, deceitful person."

Post-Belli, Lia divided her time between San Francisco and London, where she studied business at Oxford University. In 1996, she married Prince Paul, heir to the throne of Romania, taking the title "Princess Paul" (as opposed to "Princess Lia," which was perhaps too reminiscent of the Star Wars character for her taste). She now lives in Bucharest.

Nonetheless, Lia remains the largest creditor in Melvin Belli's bankruptcy estate, with a claim of more than $400,000, relating to their divorce settlement. Because of that settlement, a percentage of every dime collected by the estate goes to the princess. Of course, like everyone else who's worn the name Belli, a goodly portion of her take goes to legal fees, including nearly $300,000 stemming from their divorce.

But that's not all.

Two years ago, she became the subject of an action by her daughter, Melia, and her former butler, Allyn Olson. Melia sued her mother for cashing $90,000 in stock that belonged to Lia's trust and, Melia alleged, spending it. At the same time, Olson sued Lia for unpaid wages. Olson was the Belli family butler and stayed in the home following their divorce. Olson alleged that Lia had not paid him money he was owed for baby-sitting the Broadway mansion while it was for sale and Lia was out of the country. (The house eventually sold for $7 million.)

Alas, according to Lia's attorney, Russell Longaway, Lia has more worldly concerns on her mind than the claims of a daughter and a butler. In a letter filed in court last April, Longaway said: "Lia and her husband are presently involved in diplomatic efforts concerning the war in Kosovo. This of course has great meaning to us and them, accordingly she will complete her diplomatic duties before addressing this case further."
