According to those pictures the Princess Alexandra who was the Grand Duchess before dying in childbirth is interred in Russia, not Tatoi.
 
She was buried in St. Petersburg, but in 1939, King George II requested that her body be transferred to Greece. The Russian communist government accepted the transfer . Her body was reburied in the Tatoi cemetery.Her tomb is next to her parents' tomb, it is in line with the tombs of her parents.

At Prince Michel's tomb it says. Michel, Prince of Greece and Prince of Denmark, the date of birth and place, and of death, but unlike the other tombs, at the bottom usually carry an inscription like that of King Constantine, which says:
"Ο Θεός αγάπη εστί, και ο μένων εν τη αγάπη εν τω Θεώ μένει και ο Θεός εν αυτώ
"God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him"
Prince Michael has not it .

The cemetery seems messy still, even though the stones have been cleaned and some paths have been cleared/cleaned. The placement of the graves seems rather random, but other than that it seems a peaceful resting place indeed.
 
I would like to be able to say the same, but I knew it with trees and then believe me it was very peaceful, a true paradise to rest, in a forest, with good views, before there were tombs that because of the trees were difficult to locate, but now, they can all be seen.... The tombs, some, the most visible, were repaired and thoroughly cleaned before the burial of King Constantine, however that of King George II, a year ago was very dirty , I don't know if it has been cleaned. I imagine that the Ministry of Culture would have it cleaned before Prince Michael's burial.
 
Are there 2 churches at Tatoi?
