I came up with interesting information on Prince Peter that will perhaps help us understand better the man and the conflict with his family, I will put the links here, since they are about his role during the War: "Prince Philip's cousin subverted war against Nazis" Prince Philip's cousin...

We cannot know if they did and, of course, an unequal marriage could not have been the cause for all that trouble. As you say, others also married unequal and they were always very well accepted in the family... I believe Peter's was considered an "inappropriate" marriage not only because it was...

Well, here it is as I promised: ACT: We, George II King of the Hellenes, taking into account the #3061 Emergency Law of August 18th 1941 “on Regency” , appoint for the case foreseen in Article 2, as Chairperson of the Regency (council) HRH Prince Peter and in his absence acting as such HRH...

I think a lot of answers could be answered if we had access to the above mentioned Law. As the text says, the Regent is appointed "διά την υπό του αρ. 2 προβλεπομένην περίπτωσιν" = in the case foreseen by the Article 2 of the 3061 Emergency Law etc. Anyway, later today, I will present you with...

I don't know about her sister, but I know for sure that her parents attended the wedding. There was a picture of them in last week's Greek Hello issue;)

King George had been married to Princess Elisabeth of Romania. Princess Helen of Greece, Queen of Romania, was George's sister as we all know. Of course the mistake was made by the author of the article, not by Vlaha who only translated it. My point exactly. I'm afraid we'll never know the...

I was referring to the time Frederika came to Greece as a young bride of course, not to the time the document was written! If you read my post#210, you will see that I mention the fact that Prince Andrew was exiled ever since 1922 and that is what puzzled me in the first place. Then it came...

I meant that Frederika would have been too young, wouldn't she? She got engaged in 1936, after some months of courtship I suppose. I could be wrong of course, but I think the hostility between them was mutual, therefore we don't know what caused it in the first place. Given the fact that...

:cool:Prince George was 72 at the time of the Royal Act and Prince Andrew was in exile since 1922 and died abroad in 1944. I 'm sorry to say that I find it unlikely for a man well-known for his sense of protocol and royal duty(King George) to take such a step for the reasons given by the...

I agree with Vlaha, Nikolaos speaks Greek very well, especially for someone who spends most of his time away abroad!

:nonono:Princess Irene shares her time between Spain and Greece, Iris1983. She spends a lot of time here, she does live in an a apartment, as Vlaha mentioned above, though it is not her own, it belongs to the Geroulanos family, very old friends of the Royal Family. She is also active in Greece...

Her Majesty never stops!!! Between the two official acts mentioned above, she found time to visit the Greek Orthodox Monastery of St. John-the-Russian, in Chalkis, at two-hours drive away from Athens. It was a private visit, of course, and the Queen was accompanied by her sister, Princess Irene...

I totally agree with snowflower(249). As a Greek citizen, he is entitled to have an opinion and express it publicly.

I totally agree with you, Beltraneja! They are a really handsome couple!!!

As a matter of fact, yes! She is going to convert, she will be baptized a Greek Orthodox by the Archbishop of Great Britain and Thyateira, Nicholaos announced it to the Greek Press on Monday. I think she will be a beautiful bride, and I 'm glad that she is appreciated by her in-laws for what she...

Thanks for the Pictures, Beltraneja, especially the one within the church! It must be rare!!!

Thanks for clearing things out. I wasn΄t that sure myself about Marina Karella and their daughters were so often referred to as "princesses of Greece and Denmark" by the press(French and Spanish mostly) that I thought this was right. And of course you were right about prince Petros, I had...

I agree with you on that (again;)). When she was little, she looked more like her mother...

:previous:I think so, too. She is a really beautiful girl and her photo with her mother is my favourite, too, they seem so close!!!:flowers:

Well. you are welcome, all of you!:wave:

:previous:I'm afraid I don't like it either!!! :nonono:

The Princess' son and grandchildren could never be princes of Greece because according to the Greek law children bear their father΄s surname and title and not their mother΄s. Princesses of Greece could never transmit their title to their children even within an "equal" marriage: Princess Irene...

Great link, thanks a lot Maura!!! Happy New Year!
