Pavlos And Marie Chantal: Current Events February 2004 - August 2004

It just looks like the sun is in her eyes to me.

Here's a couple more photos.

One from today. Her jacket makes me think of Letizia's jacket from the other day. Photo

One from last night. Photo 1

Marie-Chantal just seems naturally thin to me, one of those ladies who doesn't show a lot until later in pregnancy (I wasn't one of those! :P ) I do remember her attending Alexandra's wedding and thinking she really didn't look big even then.

What is with her dress here? It looks a bit like she is wearing shag carpeting for her outfit!

[Bubbette]

Some milliner really sold these folks a bill of goods with those hats!

I thought MC looked great in her salmon colored gown at the Danish wedding but I really don't like the pearls with her tiara...the tiara is so delicate and the pearls are so BIG.

That dress is ridiculous.

as in most cercumstances beauty is in the eye of the beholder what one sees as ridiculous others see as a genous design of a dress. M.C. looks ravishing.

Hello everybody!

I have been a quiet observer of this hugely entertaining and informative forum for a while now.

However, there is something that has been bugging me since the first day I visited this thread, which is the so called bashing of Marie-Chantal. I agree with ReinaMissy that there is hardly any postive comment on Marie-Chantal on this thread. It is really sad, as her wealth seems to be her only crime. She i s beautiful, intelligent, and she has got the style. It shows, it is something you have or you simply haven´t.

Also, it it unfair to compare her with the crown-princesses of the REIGNING houses, as the latter ones have obviously more reason to be openly cute and cuddly, as they need their people´s constant approval for their reign (I am sure, most of them are not that nice in real life, at all). Marie-Chantal doesn´t. She knows that she will always be the exiled crown princess of Greece, yet she has made great effort to study Greek, and its culture and follow its traditions. I am sure the things would be totally different if Greece were still a kingdom. I am sure she would serve her country and her people as the future queen of Greece equally well.

Peace,

Merca

[Bubbette]

Um, what? Who says she has made great effort to study Greek? I can't believe she wouldn't be speaking it fluently if she had.

[wittykitty]

I don't think she is fluent in greek after all these years and she looks very bored and lost during the various press confrences and even during the Greek orthodox church ceromonies. It's just some people have to fully believe the illusion & myth (new) money buys instant intelligence and class.

I don't understand why if people don't have positive feelings for Marie-Chantal they should either post nothing at all or pretend they like her and post endless gushing comments about her. The last time I checked this was a discussion forum and open to both positive and negative discussions and comments about Marie-Chantal. Nobody is complaining that there is endless gushing and compliments about Marie-Chantal.

Maybe when she does do something that some people feel are positive and worthwhile, they will say so. But in the mean time people shouldn't refrain from making honest comments about how they feel about Marie-Chantal, positive or negative.

What has she done positive and worthwhile?

[miaamor]

The only reason m.c. get critisized so much is because she has money, we don't know if she helps the economically disadvantaged and if they do, they are most likely silent philathropist, I don"t now m.c. but it looks she was brought up in a well orientated family. It's obvious that her children love her very much, that most likely means that she's a good mother and that's a big quality because there is alot of bad mothers out there in the world.

I believe that this is a new tiara that she's wearing.

A new book is out called Weddings of Style. Pavlos and Marie-Chantal's wedding is one that is featured in it. Here's a picture of the cover of the book with a wedding photo of them.

I hadn't seen that wedding picture of them before. Pavlos looks so handsome there! I think she looked pretty good at the Danish wedding-the raspberry color was nice and the drapeyness gave her a "Greek goddess" kind of look. She apparently doesn't mind showing off her bump now.

A couple years ago in a Hello! Magazine profile of Pavlos and Marie-Chantal at their Coneticuit home, the picture from the cover of this book was framed and sitting on a shelf in one of their living rooms. I remember noticing it and finding it quite striking.

[Jackswife]

Yes, it's a very non-traditional wedding shot. Very lovely.

Hi All,
Are there any pictures of Marie Chantal and Pavlos at the Spanish wedding, I haven't seen any yet, and I was pretty sure they were on the guest list.
Thanks Nicole

Have you looked in the Felipe and Letizia subforum under the Wedding thread? And also the Pre-Wedding Dinner Gala thread. There are about a dozen pictures of Pavlos and Marie Chantal at both events there.
