On 1 January 1999 he was given the name, not title〔(“Radu Duda’s title of Hohenzollern is a farce” ), (Nine O'Clock ), 12 June 2009〕〔 ( "Karl Friedrich of Hohenzollern: „Radu Duda's Hohenzollern title is a farce“ ), Cotidianul, 10 June 2009〕 of "Prince of Hohenzollern-Veringen" by Friedrich Wilhelm, Prince of Hohenzollern, the Head of the Sigmaringen branch of the Hohenzollern family. He has also called himself Radu Hohenzollern Veringen Duda.〔 ("The Actor Duda in The Role of A Lifetime: Prince Consort of Romania )," Cotidianul, 3 January 2008〕〔(2005 "Income Statement," filled out in Romanian by Hohenzollern Veringen Duda, Radu )〕〔(2005 "Interest Statement," filled out in Romanian by Hohenzollern Veringen Duda, Radu )〕〔 ("Income Statement", Prime-Minister's Chancellery Website as of 14 July 2006 )〕〔 ("Public Letter to The SRI Director", Romanian Imprisonment Watch, Visby, Sweden, 17 September 2004 )〕 Since 2007, when he had his legal name changed to "Radu al României Duda", Radu no longer uses the name of Hohenzollern.〔 ( Prince Radu: There is no presidential candidate named Hohenzollern ), Cotidianul, 11 June 2009〕 The Statute of the Romanian Royal Family,〔(Fundamental Rules of the Royal Family of Romania ), (The Romanian Royal Family website ) as retrieved on 8 January 2007〕 proclaimed by former King Michael I of Romania on 30 December 2007, gave Radu the title of "Prince of Romania", with the style of "Royal Highness", which King Michael had given him earlier on 5 January 2005.〔 (Prince Radu ), (Prince Radu's website ) as of 12 September 2008〕 The last Royal Romanian constitution, made no provision for the succession of daughters.

In the NATO tours the King visited the United Kingdom, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Luxembourg and The Netherlands, meeting with heads of state and government.
