I agree that getting married just for the sake of it, is a lose/lose proposition. P Nikolaos does not HAVE to get married and as I mentioned before if these two have an understanding that it is not in the cards, that is their business.

I doubt very seriously that P Nik would have a child before marriage...this is a guy who has refused to even eat on camera during events (when even Princess Victoria was eating). I've read that he's said in interviews that he hasn't found the "right girl yet." I think he's a lot like Prince Albert. Let's also not forget that Tatiana was born (according to peerage.com) in 1980. She's still fairly young and started dating HIM fairly young. She may not be ready herself.

Sure! Check this interview he did with 20/20. Around the 8:25 mark is when they say he wouldn't be caught on camera eating, smoking or shooting. --



There are also a few photos of the incident that Princess Victoria was at. I've got them on my personal computer, but putting them online I'm not sure how to do. I'm positive that they are on the net. I believe Princess Alexandra (not Joachim's ex) was also in the photos.

I may have figured out how to post, from IBL:

Thank you SG1fan for the video clip. Nikolaos is a very handsome man.

I remember a picture of Pavlos in the streets of NY eating a hot dog he had just bought from one of the street vendors. LOL

He visits often. He was dancing up a storm in Patmos last summer at a wedding of a friend and I think Tatiana was an attendant.
Greece must be crowded with tourists this time of the year. The GRF should be in Porto Heli soon.

They rent the house each year (Putin is one of the neighbours) and I believe they moor their kaiki there as well. I know they were talking about buying a home but so far nothing came to the fore, unless it is hush hush. I guess in the next 3 weeks we will see them all gathering there.

King Constantine and Queen Ann Maria are in Porto Heli since 15 june.
They are alone, their children have not yet arrived
Porto Heli's house is leased to Constantine
I do not know if they have bought it, I have searched the home pages of web advertising hotels in Porto Heli and the house is not announced.
For all these reasons I think they have purchased it.
Regarding Nicolas, I think that is not looking for property in Greece,
he may be looking for the house in London
Last summer was the wedding with Tatiana. Tatiana is the summer with the Kings of Greece since 2005 although in 2004 she was in the Olympiad it was not in the house of kings.
She is integrated into the family
THE PRINCE SMOKES MUCH!!!!

Bel if they had purchased the house, everyone in Greece would know about it. I am surprised they did not fly to LA to meet the latest grand child yet.
I believe Nikolaos already has his apartment in London for a few years now. You are correct Tatiana now appears in all photos in the affaires she attends with Nikolaos. They make a lovely couple.

Nicolas has an apartment in Chelsea, but I think that if they will marry, they will need a bigger house, for children!!!...

She's listed in peerage.com as a royal descendant. Her father is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and that means he's not poor, but not a millionaire either. I believe I read that she's got a B.A. in art or some type from an American school and that she speaks French? She's also working as a party planner for Dianne von F. and according to her facebook page, quite connected into Nik's circle.

Let's put it this way, wedding bells ring in my ears when I read it! Wish it were me and him!

That's what has been reported in articles, btw. I don't want it to sound like I know it for fact, I don't.

As of the most recent accounting, a U.S. rep makes ~US183,000/year. Former Rep John Blatnik is her Grandfather (John A. Blatnik, 80, Congressman Who Promoted Public Works Bills - New York Times)
