On September 20th,we will see to Nikolaos and Chrysi in the wedding of Chrysi's brother, Pavlos, will take place. Pavlos will be married on September 20th in Athens.

Nikolaos and Chrysi will attend, that's guaranteed, and who knows, maybe some other member of the royal family.

It has been published today in the greek press, It will be a big wedding, because he is the son of George Vardinogiannis, an important shipowner, and she, Katerina Birbili, is the daughter of the owner of one of the oldest book publishing houses in Greece.

On this Instagram profile, they posted a video in which Chrysi greets Queen Anne-Marie. She bows to her mother-in-law, the Queen, as required by royal regulations. The woman who later greets Queen Anne Marie is the mother of Chrysi, Agapi Politi.

This is incredible, Chrysi's dress has been identified. How do these internet profiles know which designer the dress is from? Seriously, do they have the catalogs memorized?

Queen Anna Maria, Prince Pavlos, and his wife, Princess Marie-Chantal, today, were at the Olympic Stadium of Athens to bid farewell to the Olympic flame for the Winter Games to be held in Italy.

They were invited by the president of the Greek Olympic Committee, Isidoros Kuvelos, since King Constantine was a member of the International Olympic Committee and a personal friend of Isidoros.

Pavlos most definitely increased his presence in Greece since he became the head of the Greek royal house after his father's death.

Pavlos most definitely increased his presence in Greece since he became the head of the Greek royal house after his father's death.

Pavlos is smoothly but surely perfectly filling his position as CP and Head of the GRF.
And why not? No-one is harmed and the family has a lot of glamor to give. MC is elegant and delicate. As for Queen Anne-Marie is immensely respected. Even the more aggressive anti-monarchists never managed to repproach anything to her.

 

[IRIS1983]

Although I would like to say that he has a connection to the Royal Family, I don't think so.

It's obvious he don't want to know much about the subject. On his website, he only identifies his mother with the title of Queen, both in the English and Greek versions. The history and reference to his ancestors, the basis of every Royal House, stands out on his website by its absence. Even on the website of Prince Charles's Foundation, he no longer uses the title.

The reasons for his presence in Greece are related to the businesses or business interests that his father had and that he now has in Greek territory. His presence in Greek magazines and newspapers is as "Pavlos De Grece".
And although he has assumed the nationality, the truth is, the press continues to identify him as a foreigner. I imagine that the acceptance of his nationality was related to his economic interests.

By the way, I read in the group The Greek Royal that the current president of the Greek Olympic Committee was a friend and greatly appreciated King Constantine for all the work he did for the benefit of the committee and Greek sport; I imagine that's why the invitation is for that reason.

 

[Lipe]

I believe that Prince Pavlos has taken his father's place.

I don't think he's only in Greece for business, but also because of his father's legacy.
It's possible that in the past, he seemed distant from Greece; it was his father, King Constantine, who attended IOC events, as a member of the Committee, and by link of his family's history of olympics.... and other events in Greece, linked in some way to the history of his ancestors.

Perhaps Pavlos didn't value it then; he was more involved in business. But after his father's death, he has changed a lot. His attitude is very different; Now he spends a lot of time in Greece and attends all these events linked to his father and his family.

King Constantine greatly valued Olympism; he was very involved in sports and the IOC. He was the longest-serving member of the Committee, and the IOC even declared three days of mourning and ordered flags to be flown at half-mast as a sign of respect and recognition for his work when he died. I don't believe he's at these events just for business; he's here because of his father.

Anne Marie, Pavlos, Marie-Chantal and Alexia attended the celebration for the 150th anniversary of the Athens Club at the Archaeological Society in Athens yesterday, December 10:

There are some very interesting photos from this event:

Antoni Samarás, the former Greek Prime Minister, is greeted by Prince Pavlos. (Samaras offered his condolences to the Royal Family after the death of King Constantine, criticizing the current Prime Minister's decision not to grant an official funeral to a former Head of State)
Furthermore, the politician had recently lost his daughter, and Prince Pavlos likely took the opportunity to express his condolences to him.

Another curious photo shows Prince Nikolaos's seating at the event, next to two right-wing prime ministers, Karamanlis and Samaras.
Whoever arranged the guests seemed to be implying something... Prince Nikolaos has never publicly stated his political ideology.

The presence of Princess Alexia and Princess Marie Chantal, who never attends these types of events in Athens

Especially Nikolaos not being seated (nor received) with his family but among politicians is strange...

I always like seeing Alexia

They made things easy for Nina… Makes you wonder why Philippos didn’t attend the christening.

This event is on December 11th, but Prince Philippos was at christening.
