I have been unable to locate this video.
The interview was given to well respected journalist Stavros Theodorakis and the MEGA Channel that represents the interests of the highly influential Lamprakis Publishing Co.
Princess Irene totally captivated and mesmerized the audience. I read many extremely positive comments in Greek Blogs, especially by young people.
She spoke candidly and de profundis on a wide spectrum of issues, from how she managed to save the lives of many cows by chartering an airplane to transport them from Europe back to India to the late King Farouk's advances to her mother Queen Frederika, and her concern about famine and the disadvantaged. During the video, she visited an impoverished gypsy family in the suburbs of Athens as well as Tatoi.
She spoke in support of her family but not in support of the monarchy as an institution.
Evidently, the interview was a triumph and the audience was totally disarmed by this self-calling "crazy" woman.

Please read carefully. Philippe Egalite's post clearly states that it was Princess Irene herself who has said she was crazy, perhaps in a self-effacing way. No one else called her crazy.

HRH Princess Yrini underwent surgery at the Ruber International Clinic,Madrid,after her return from Greece last week due to a fall in Greece three days before and breaking two toes on one foot.

HM Queen Sofia remained with her sister at the clinic during the operation.
HRH is recovering well after the operation,two pins were placed in her foot.
Speedy recovery!

Thanks for opening my eyes to Princess Irene.
I remember seeing photos of her when she was a young woman.
I am sure that she is probably devoted to her huge family.
Kudos to the family for including her in their vacations, activities ...
although she does not attend state dinners (I don't think), but then that is not her style.
