Pavlos & Marie-Chantal and Family Picture Thread 1

Well, they certainly have produced very beautiful children!! Now baby number 4 is on the way--Marie Chantal has gone above and beyond the call of duty in producing heirs, but I am surprised she would continue to "ruin" her figure for her designer clothes???

- In Greece for the baptism of their paternal cousin Ana-Maria, daughter of their aunt Alexia.

This may sound ignorant, but is the WHOLE family allowed to travel to Greece?? I´ve thought it isn´t.

[Martine]

I think it is allowed now, but it wasn't for a long time...

[moody]

Yes,for quite along time...enough to miss them!!But now bad days are over!!!

I think I read something about them being allowed back into Greece if they go under their Danish (maybe British?) passports and go as "regular" citizens rather than as the King and Queen/Princes and Princesses of Greece. Like if they go as "plain" Nikolaos it is okay.

There is some controversy though about the Athens Olympic games and King Constantine who is also a member of the IOC. I read that for some reason he may not be allowed to go if he keeps insisting on going as King Constantine of Greece. The Greek government won't allow him into the country if that is case during this time. Has anyone else heard about this? Or has the situation been cleared up and everything is okay again for the King to return to Athens for the Olympic games. A pity if he wouldn't be allowed to go, himself a former Olympic participant and a member of the IOC.

I don't know who is the owner of this site (Jay? Alex?). But there's a new picture of Maria Olympia in traditional greek costume there. It's great! Thank you very much!!!

[samitude]

She is going to be beautiful when she grows up! I hope she keeps her natural hair color. That redish brown color is beautiful.

This is a small article about Pavlos and Marie-Chantal's children in this week's "point de vue" magazine

Achileas will go to school for the first time. He'll go to the same school where Constantino is going. Maria-Olympia is going to an all girls school.

In the article MC says that Tino loves going to school and that he works really hard. Olympia loves reading and is very artistic.

The children also follow lessons after school to learn Greek and the Greek culture

[moosey60]

Wow...what a kitchen! I think it's good that Pavlos and Marie-Chantal want the kids to learn Greek but for the kids to actually learn to speak Greek, I don't think it's enough just to pay for lessons...does Pavlos speak Greek with the kids?

do the kids speak greek fluently or are they like their mother MC?

I red somewhere that they have Greek tutors and Baby-sitters..Maybe it was in this very forum...I guess that,even if they haven't any tutors or babbysitters they would have spoken Greek at least with their parents and Grand parents....It is logical..

They attend HCL, so presumably, they're learning the language. But I doubt they speak Greek with their mother, who still can't speak it fluently and calls her children the French versions of their names.
