Is Tatiana officially still a princess after the divorce or did she return to her maiden name and is she 'Tatiana Blatnik' again? She seems to have been using that name for a while now.
 
She never stopped using her maiden name. Re the title: The Greek royal family confirmed to Hello! Greece that Tatiana will retain the title of princess when the couple's divorce has been finalised. If Nikolaos remarries, she obviously will not "keep" it anymore.

When you look at the genealogical tree on the official website, you can see that the year of divorce has been added, but Tatiana is still titled "Princess Tatiana", so this must be the current status:

I am not sure that is a reliable source for her title as there are several inconsistencies in this genealogical tree: for example, for some unknown reason her year of marriage has been removed unlike all other marriages that ended in divorce. And in infanta Cristina's case the year of divorce is wrong. For most wives their maiden name (and original titles if applicable) were used (also for those who remained married for the rest of their lives!), except for the daughters-in-law of Constantine and Anne-Marie. So, it seems someone edited the original tree at some point last year to include the divorce but it could very well be the case that they 'forgot' to change her name.

For the Greek members among us, what would be the norm for women that are divorced in Greece? Would they keep their husband's name or revert back to their maiden name? Of course, Tatiana is Venezuelan and in her tradition, the women keep their maiden name in marriage and will at most only add their husband's surname at the end of their maiden name.
 
AFAIK, Greek men and women must keep their birth surname. They can add their spouse's surname to their own as part of a double-barrelled name.

And what happens after divorce? Do they remove their spouse's surname and go back to their maiden name after divorce (N.B. That is what they would do in the Netherlands, where married women also often use a hyphenated surname unless they decide to continue using their maiden name).
 
Since 1987, in Greece husband and wife keep their birth name. They have the right to add each one other's name with a special legal act.
We don't know what Tatiana did, as Nikolaos was not Greek citizen at this time, so they wedded under Danish law (his citizenship) but also hers. I think also that they divorced before Nikolaos got the Greek citizenship, so Greek law does not apply to them at all.

By the way do we know Tatiana's citizenship ? Swiss ? Venezuelan? Or Slovenian?
 
Tatiana has recently given an interview about Breath Hellas:


 
I just read the interview.
She comes across, once more, as quite likable and decent. She says there was never a question of not living in Greece post-divorce, this is her home know.
Tatiana managed to achieve something really difficult to achieve. To be part of the former royal family of Greece, while living in Athens, and be totally accepted, without being mocked.
That, despite the fact that she was not born Greek and, at least up until the last time I saw her on TV, while still speaking in english in public. I am certain she can understand and speak Greek after living here for 12 years.
Even now, as many rejoice with the choice of a Greek as new member of the family, nine out of ten still express a lot of sympathy-well deserved I think-for Tati.
Noone can ever know what happens between the two people forming a couple. There are things one doesn't confess or admit to family or friends. For those of us outside, they looked perfect and lots of people would have liked them to have children (children that would have been born in Greece and speak Greek as natives) and, frankly, for Nikolaos to be the Head of the House.
It was not meant to be and all we can do is wish the best to both of these very decent and lovely people.

I couldn't possibly agree more.
 
Tatiana's passport is German. She has her mother's nationality. In August 2023 I saw a video of her on an island with Nikolaos and the person who made the video and I were also surprised that she did not speak Greek. I find this opinion funny, 9 out of 10 Greeks... I'm sorry but as a private persons, these surveys do not exist. I read very good comments from Niko and Chrysi.

It is their life,It is obvious that they were not happy, Tatiana in her comments on Instagram has expressed herself as very happy after her divorce. And finally, the interview, based on content, I would say that it is the same one that was published months ago to talk about mental health
 
Tatiana Blatnik has taken advantage of the great media coverage of her ex-husband's wedding announcement to promote her project Breathe, because she has republished an interview published in October. This is what this publication shows.
People can give one image and then be another in reality. Nikolaos and Tatiana were not happy, they are divorce from november , this interview is of october.
This week, what I have been able to see on Greek television, is that 9 out of 10 Greeks have been interested in the announcement of Prince Nikolaos' wedding, all the social news programs have not stopped talking about them, all the journalists were experts on the royal house, everyone has tried to boast of being close to the Family, at times it seemed that Greece had a monarchy. It is obvious that this announcement or confirmation of his wedding with Chrysi has raised an unusual relevance in Greece, and this is because the Greeks are interested in knowing who Chrysi is, the magazines are waiting for next week to publish Chrysi's biography, finally we will know the date of her birthday and other details of her wedding, which by the way is private, but due to the repercussion it seems public.

Let's not use Tatiana as a weapon to attack Nikolaos and the Vardinogiannis family, because you can't judge a person who you don't know, if you don't like the Vardinogiannis family it's a very different thing.

I agree Lipe, I have also read positive comments about them.
Of course there are no surveys, I just the read the numerous comments under articles about them and have random everyday conversations. Just like I always got the feeling that many people like Anne-Marie, I also got the feeling Nikolaos, together with his mother, must be the most popular of the family (mostly among the women). But still, of course, no official surveys.
 
People's opinions are often opposite. I read comments appraising Tatiana and pointing out that it is a shame he marrys again so soon. Also many bad comments accusing him running behind the money.
And another category is very happy as Nikolaos choose (finally) a Greek woman. This is a very important point. According to the constitution (when Greece was a royalty) GRF was not allowed to marry Greek Citizens, otherwise they would lose their rights to the throne.
When King Alexander married Aspasia Manou, it has created an enormous controversy, and the marriage was only morganatic.
The King died before the birth of his child (Princess Alexandra) and only after, his widow got the title of Princess, with her daughter without rights to the throne.
The second time when Michel de Grece married Marina Karella, he renounced his rights.
Royalty heaters forgot this interdiction and accused the royal family of non marrying into Greek people.
As for King's Konstantine children, no interdiction as no thron.. but being raised abroad there were a few probability of marrying a Greek...
Now Nikolaos fulfills these dreams... except those (including me) who wanted to believe to a fairy tale him and Tatiana...
But people marry for their happiness, not to fulfill other's dreams.
If he is happy with Chryssi, I wish them all the happiness of the world.
To Tatiana also,.she worths it.

OMG, what? :popcorn:

Let's see if she gets to keep the title after the wedding.
 
If i understood well Tatiana moved house. She posted a story in her IG when she says that her mother helped her to move in 48 hrs. Maybe the appartement they were living before is too huge or too expensive in rent. By the way we never had a clear idea about her personal wealth.
Interesting that she moved in 48 hrs.... like if it was unplanned.

Having to move out of an apartment in 48 hours? Strange, and why? Sounds a bit strange to me, especially when comparing Tatianas usual posts in the past.
 
Tatiana already moved to her new house on January 19. More likely her mother helped her with what she needed in the less than 48 hours she (Marie-Blanche) spent in Athens.

Thank you. I saw the post but didn't read the whole text.
I wonder where she moved.

Apparently she had moved January 19th.
But it is strange as they were supposed to live apart almost one year. Tatiana continued to leave to theur couple's appartement and Nikolaos moved for another flat.
So why she suddenly moved?
Maybe she had expectations to be again together and now he is officially to be remarried, she decided to move on.
As for the quick remarriage... wait and see.

First , Tatiana Blatnik has been living in the centre of Athens in an apartment. I don't know if she lives with someone else, for over a year, I would even dare to say two years ago because, looking at most of the photos of her from two years ago...., she had lived in the centre of Athens, and Prince Nikolaos on the outskirts, in the house they shared. I imagine that she has found a better-located apartment, with better contract conditions, and has moved. This is normal, it is her business, but this change has nothing to do with Nikolaos and Chrysi. January is usually one of the months when most rental contracts end, due to the expiration of the contract and non-renewal. If you finds a better-located apartment with better conditions than yours, then you move. But that has nothing to do with it.
(..)

If Chrysi is a woman whose character and personality is similar to that of Nikolaos, at 55 years old, if he had not committed to her, he would be making a mistake, and even more so if he does not want to live alone.
