Romania’s culture minister Kelemen Hunor said Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010 in a letter to Parliament that Romania should purchase Peles castle from the country’s former King Michael. Peles Castle was a royal residence until the communists came to power in 1947 and Michael was forced to abdicate. The castle was handed back to Michael in 2007. (AP Photo/Paul Buciuta, File)
