Exactly, there is no reason for her to learn a language, she is never going to use. Even if it's helpful to know a second language, but only if you are going to use that language.

It is not the same for Tatiana than for the two Danish Princesses. Mary and Marie were going to live in Denmark and to have an active role.
Tatiana, even if she moves in Greece with Nikolaos, they are not going to have any role, only some social relations.

That's true. but I think they should learn Greek, Nikolaos, Theodora and Fillip learned Greek and not born in Greece. They would not had any institutional role.

They learned Greek because they are princess of the Greek Royal Family!!! Imagine Nikolaos, being the second in line in the Greek throne (even in theory), nor speeking greek

And the time when these children have been raised up, they still hope to restoration!

Marie-Chantal either, did not learn greek.

Vasilofron or any kind Greek poster, could you scan the issue of Life&Style so that we can see the pictures ? they are probably beautiful as always in this mag... I tried several times to find it in Paris but it seems hopeless.

I am not sure we are allowed to scan, its considered intellectual property and we need to take permission.

[vasilofron]

I Will scan and upload the magazine on my web site..!!
The photos are great..!!

That photo is stunning.
Tatiana looked beautiful on that day.

[BELTRANEJA]

in my opinion, Tatiana was one of the most elegant and beautiful of the wedding of Princess Victoria

[ursulajohanna]

Do you know - will Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden attend the wedding?

[Lumutqueen]

No guest list has been released yet, and probably won't be.
I can imagine them attending, due to Tatiana and Nikolaos attending theirs.

What if they are going to live and work in greece ?
Then she has to learn the laungage fore talking to/with the greeks in the city they migth be living in...

[GRspecialforces]

the truth is nicolas said they're thinking about moving to greece to live permanently. i don't know if they'll finally do this. there is another possibility for tatiana learning the language. maybe she wants to please nicolas and his family. it's not always about how much you will use a language.

If i were in her shoes i wouldn't even bother learning Greek or moving here and i've expained the reason in other threads.Anyway i'm curious to see photos of the wedding,who will attend and the press's treatment while covering the event.

But what if she wants to move to Greece, just because it's a nice place and they've find a beautiful house?
What if it has nothing to do with them and the royal family.

[Kastalia]

Yeah i know what you mean.I haven't read the interview that was mentioned above my message but to be honest i think that their life is settled in a great way already despite Greece being a very nice place to live.That's why i said ''if i were in her place''..If they will ever plan to move in Greece it would be good to learn the language,there's no doubt about that.
