Also Hein Bruins mentions that Nikolaos and Chrysi are engaged:
Tatiana and Nikolaos had been separated before the announcement was made. In fact, they didn't even spend Christmas together back in 2023. There was never going to be a rush to remove a title from someone so widely beloved like Tatiana, the amount of times I've heard "If only Tatiana and Nikolaos were the heirs". When Pavlos decided to allow her to keep the title, he probably didn't assume his brother would remarry less than a year later.My understanding was that it was the opposite. Tatiana's interview late last year seems to support that. It would also explain why there was no rush or announcement to remove the "Princess title.
Of course, the fact that Nikolaos is ready to marry again less than a year since announcing the separation makes me inclined to believe this relationship had already been going on during his marriage.
"If only Tatiana and Nikolaos were the heirs". As a Greek, I can confirm it, coming also from non-royalists.Tatiana and Nikolaos had been separated before the announcement was made.

The hurry to marry can be because he's madly in love (..)
Nikolaos and Tatiana’s relationship was over long before they divorced. They were clearly living apart by the time King Constantine passed away but put up a facade for the sake of the family during that time of grief…
If he wants to marry his new love, then who are we to judge ? They are all adults and there is no children involved so there is no pressing reason to wait if they don’t want to…
This was my understanding on the 'grapevine' several years ago before the time of his younger brother wedding and also possibly just before the pandemic happened but several family reasons meant they had to wait. Also I heard that Tatiana wanting to keep the title and keep her place at the public side of the family may have also been a point. They where ready to part a long while before but maybe had some things to sort out. In society circles some couples now wait to divorce until they have privately made the decision about what will come next and they then wait for more time for the public to be used to the 'dream partnership' being slip up.Nikolaos and Tatiana’s relationship was over long before they divorced.

It will be second wedding for both.Third Wedding , Princess and HRH !
Maybe with her first husband she had only civil wedding?How has she received an annulment from her first marriage? She has two children.
Indeed it was, just found information about it. Then Deputy Mayor Nina Vlachou married Chrysí and Nino.Maybe with her first husband she had only civil wedding?
But otherwise, Nikolaos and Tatiana married in the church.Indeed it was, just found information about it. Then Deputy Mayor Nina Vlachou married Chrysí and Nino.
Orthodox Church allows divorce amd remarriage up to 3 times. No need of annulment for both Chryssi (whatever was her 1st marriage) and NikolaosHow has she received an annulment from her first marriage? She has two children.
How is (not) having children relevant in this case? If the Greek Orthodox church allows remarriage after divorce whether a couple had children is irrelevant. A marriage is not more or less of a marriage because of the presence or absence of children.If I am wrong, please correct me.
I understand that Nikolaos can marry in the Church because he has no children and is divorced, and the Orthodox Church allows a second marriage. She can marry in the Church because her first marriage was civil, that is, she has never been married in the Orthodox Church.
Congratulations to the couple........
As for the future Princess to be, she is pretty, looks like her mother.
I hope that she has not her father's caracter, who is well known to be extremely nervous and almost violent....an extremely problematic guy.
As for her own personnality, we we don't lnow many, except her previous marriages, relationships. One average level singer and an actor. Nothing top exciting or glow.
Now she will be a Royal Princess, à wish her happiness.
How is Princess Marie-Chantal "not always easy" with unwealthy people with an ordinary background? For all that matters, someone with a background as problematic as Princess Mette-Marit is her friend and godmother to her fourth child.Tatiana also has some drama in her family, maybe he likes to help girls with these situations. I think the comfort of a family he knows after years of seperating may be very good for him. Maybe second time double lucky. She will probably know and fit well with MC who may be not always be easy with people not in her wealth group but is from a very ordinary commoner background. I think it sounds like it will go well.
Good question. This is what her name in Greek is: Χρυσή Βαρδινογιάννη - so, at least, they use 'Chrysí' in Greek as well.Is "Chryssi" the new lady's full Christian name or is it a nickname?
