The Independence Proclamation (1877): On May 10, 1877, Romania proclaimed its independence from the Ottoman Empire, which was later recognized internationally.
Prince Carol I's Coronation (1881): The first King of Romania, Carol I, was crowned on this day in 1881 after the country transitioned from a principality to a kingdom.
King Carol II's Return to Romania (1930): In 1930, King Carol II returned to Romania and ascended the throne after years of self-imposed exile.
Wreath Laying: Official ceremonies often include laying wreaths at statues of former kings or other significant sites related to the monarchy.
Cultural Events: There are concerts and exhibitions that celebrate Romanian culture and history, often with an emphasis on the royal legacy.
Educational Activities: Schools and cultural institutions may organize history lessons or discussions about the role of monarchy in Romania's development.
Royal Family Participation: The former royal family may partake in various events, as they remain respected figures for many Romanians despite the monarchy being abolished in 1947.
While not a public holiday, Monarchy Day is observed by those with an interest in history and monarchist sentiment. People participate by attending events, engaging with historical content online or through media broadcasts dedicated to this day.
