Engagement of Prince Nikolaos & Tatiana Blatnik 28 Dec 2009 & pre-wedding information


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Ahaaaaa, now - this is MUCH BETTER!!! Thank you!!!;):flowers:
 
I think I may know the providence of the ring - I can't remember which christening it was but Queen Anne-Marie had a set of earrings that look exactly like the stone in the ring.

In the photo, Queen Anne-Marie is wearing a light blue suit and King Constantine is holding one of their grandchildren. She is looking down at the baby smiling. In that photo you can see the stone/setting perfectly.
 
I liked the pics!!!! Especially Nikolas and Tatiana together on the yaht.
 
Strange event: No one of Tatiana´s family there and Queen Anne-Marie IMO looks horrible.

I agree. Queen Anne-Marie looked sort of tired and bloated today, which is so unusual for this glamorous woman. Perhaps she has a cold or jet-lag or something.

(If someone took my picture today, I'd also look tired and bloated, so maybe it's going around! :) )

On the positive side, King Constantine looks like he's back to fine form since his surgery last summer.

IMO If the press conference is to be in Greece they are very wise to call it unofficial .... :whistling:

True! I suspect that the "formal" or "informal" designation is more related to the format of the press conference, though. I formal press conference typically involves an announcement or statement, followed by questions. From the pictures, I'm guessing that this was more informal, sort of a photo call with some comments and questions.

Tatiana has always been a beautiful woman but looks absolutely stunning in her pictures today! She will make a magnificent bride ... any mention of a wedding date. Unfortunately, Queen Anne-Marie looks a bit under the weather :(
 
Here is a report about the meeting today from Svenskdamtidning.se:

According to this report Nikolaos and Tatiana are hoping that they will get married at 24-08-2010.
 
THANK YOU!!PRINCIPESSA. I read that it could be about 24 august????in Greece....
 
According to the press conference in the greek channels they don't want to mention a date for their wedding because they need to sort out some details.
Also Tattiana will be baptized as a greek orthodox soon and the best-men at the wedding will be Prince Pavlos, Tattiannas brother and a very close friend of Prince Nikolaos.

He also mentioned that he proposed when he took her at a small cruise with his mothers boat, and that his parents said "FINALLY" when they heard the good news.

The wedding will be here in Greece but they haven't decided on the location yet.
 
Yuppiii, i'm so excited! They are a very beautiful couple.
Thank you everyone for the pics.
 
I was there, at the press conference today, it was so nice! King Constantine was emotional moved and in a good shape. I toke some photos and uploaded them at the GREEK ROYAL FAMILY group on Facebook!

Are there any videos about the meeting?
 
Congratulations to the couple!! It was high time he proposed!!! I also think Tatiana will make a beautiful bride!!! Looking forward to the wedding!!! :D
 
Any news about her exact date of birth, birthplace, nationality?
 
...as well as any new information about her biological father?
 
Wonderful pictures, Tatiana surely is a beauty, but I'm curious about her birthdate as well. Somehow she looks older to me than someone who's born in 1980.
 
very nice pictures for a very charming couple.
 
Thanks Lia, I was going to post the video now, but you have put before it, You have been more rapid.Thanks! I like Nikolaos...
 
Thank you for posting this wonderful video ... even though I didn't understand a word!:lol:

The reporter says at the beggining:

"Her exotic beauty, her warm smile, her kindness and her discretion were few of the characteristics that made Prince Nikolaos son of the Former King Constantine to realize since their first meeting in Switzerland that she is the woman of his life"

Prince Nikolaos : "When i first saw her, her beauty charmed me but then her character......we have bonded a lot and we fit/match together a lot!!"

Reporter narrating:
After 7 years of relationship Nikolaos and Tattiana decided to marry at the end of the summer. The proposal came 2 months ago while on the boat of King Constantine following all the traditions.

Prince Nikolaos : " We went for an early evening cruise the two of us and i told her to come at the front of the boat to show her something thats been added. There i kneeled and asked the question."

Then Tattianna talks in engilsh probably the reporters asked if she suspected smthg.

Reporter narrating:
The engagement ring has a zaphire that Anna-Maria gifted since she was the first one that learned about the plans of her son.

Nikolaos " My mother gave me the stone, a zaphire that belonged to her family. When i told my mother that i will ask Tattiana to marry me she (Anna-Maria) told me if i wanted her to give me the zaphire to make a ring with. I was really excited and thats how it happened."

Reporter narrating:
When we asked about the wedding dress Tattiana did not want to reveal anything yet.

Tattiana said in greek: "Its my secret"

Reporter narrating:
Prince Nikolaos parent really happy gave their blessing and Constantinos was teasing his son.

Prince Nikolaos: "I asked my parents earlier to make that proposal and they said Finally!!! And they never pressured me on this matter but they said......we never pressured you but Amen!!"

King Constantine: "He said (Prince Nikolaos) lets get Pavlos on the phone so i told him to tell Pavlos not to say anything yet because the girl might say no!!"

Reporter narrating:

Best-men of the couple among others will be Prince Pavlos, Tattianas brother (Boris) and Nassos Thanopoulos.

Thats from star channel link i provided, i noticed that there were 3 greek channels but none of them had the full interview. For example Alter channel has a part were the Prince says that she wants to be baptized or that she says she loves cooking and if the reporters have any good greek recipes they are welcome.
 
Lia, They put the summaries.The ring was of Queen Anne Marie .. This is very nice.</p>

No according to Nikolaos the Queen gave him the stone and he made the ring. Thats what i got from the interview.
 
why was king constantine emotional?? because it took quite some time? or maybe he feels that given his health scare recently, he still can enjoy and watch his children get married
 
No according to Nikolaos the Queen gave him the stone and he made the ring. Thats what i got from the interview.

:sad:I hate to think that another piece of jewelry was broken up for this ring! But I have to wonder how far back this sapphire goes in the Danish royal family. Queen Alexandrine perhaps?

Excuseme it is true the stone was of Queen Anne Marie.
RubyPrincess168, I read it, and that it was a gift of the Kings of Denmark to Anne Marie when she was Princess of Denmark
