10 & 11 July 2025 At Romanian Cultural Institute

 Re:Queen Marie of Romania Opera

Dear Sir.

I am pleased to inform you that the opera Queen Maria of Romania - Libretto Dominick, Lord Mereworth, friend of H.R.H Prince Shwebomin since circa 1988 - will be staged at:

The Romanian Cultural Institute

1 Belgrave Square

London SW1X 8PH

 On Thursday 10 July 2025 8-00 PM  and

Friday 11 July 2025 8-00 PM

Whilst Julietta Demetriades, His Royal Highness’s ward at that time, was a student at the Royal Academy of Music, there was a concert at St. John’s Smith Square; about 30 years ago. 

A number of European diplomats attended.

His Royal Highness got to know the then Romanian ambassador Sergiu Celec, who, as a young diplomat, arrived in Rangoon, now Yangon, Burma on 2 March 1962, the day of the military coup took place. HRH had already left Burma in July 1961. Long story.

You will love the Queen Marie of Romania opera.

Please note that HRH is not the organiser.

Further details a.campling@btopenworld.com

Lord Mereworth has invited HRH and HRH’s close friend Mr. Damien Smyth, whose daughter Jessica Smyth, whom HRH had known since she was 16, is famous as “ Biig Piig”.

Maybe you will meet HRH at the opera.

Please feel free to share this email with your friends.

Last but not least, HRH is financing a media project, The London Times international.

'Everybody’s Talking About Jamie' at the Epsom Playhouse'

 Hi there,

I hope things are well? Apologies for the short notice but I wanted to get in touch on behalf of Sutton Theatre Company, we are the first in the local area, and a very excited amdram charity to be putting on the spectacular 'Everybody’s Talking About Jamie' at the Epsom Playhouse in a couple of weeks from 14th – 17th May.

Given the LGBTQ+ themes of inclusivity, I wondered if you'd consider forwarding / promoting to your members and followers or the show would be a good outing for your group? 

The details of the production are:

Everybody's Talking About Jamie 

14th – 17th May

Epsom Playhouse
