Yes, she has look pregnant!!!!!paloma said:From the photos in Copenhagen she does look pregnant. They stated that they did want four or five children during one of their engagement interviews.
betina said:Do you have a name they could have then as their last name?? I cant find one, and they will stil be prince and princess of Denmark by the way without right to the throne
branchg said:They don't use a last name, although they are Glucksburg-Holtstein-Sonderburg. They are just Prince/Princess Pavlos of Greece and Denmark.
kelly9480 said:The name of the dynasty is the exact same as the name of the dynasties in Denmark and Norway, SHSG. It's not a surname, per se, but it's what the Greek government uses to refer to the family (and that's not necessarily disrespectful because the Norwegian and Danish houses are described the same way in their countries).
I don't like repeating myself either, but a last name and a dynasty name aren't always the same thing. SHSG IS the DYNASTY name of the Greeks. I never said it was their last name. Even Constantine himself has said the dynasty is either Oldenburg or SHSG.iannis said:I don't like repeating myself, but King George I of Greece founded a NEW dynasty WITHOUT a last name, per se or not
Schwlesig- Holstein- Sonderbug- Glucksburg NEVER characterised the greek dynasty

Every European dynasty -- every single one -- has a dynasty name. The Greeks are an offshoot of the Danish royal family, which is an offshoot of SHSG, which is an offshoot of the Oldenburgs. The Greek government can say whatever it wants, and Constantine can say whatever he wants, the fact remains that, genealogically, the Greeks are from the SHSG/Oldenburg dynasty. Unless Constantine goes and legally changes the dynasty name (and whether he has the legal ability to do so is questionable, because he's not reigning), the dynasty exists as either SHSG or Oldenburg.iannis said:Even if it was the Danish dynasty's name, it never was the greek one's, since by King Christian IX and afterwards, all his descendants, including the later founder of the greek dynasty, had no dynasty name; you can check it at the official site of Constantine and the royal family: www.greekroyalfamily.gr: there is an announcement of the supreme greek jury for private matters that says so; it is in english as well
If you're referring to King George I's blood and anchestry, yes it comes from the house of S-H-S-G, but that was never attributed to the greek royalties
