How they met:

Pavlos and Marie-Chantal met in 1992 in New Orleans, where they were invited to Philip Niarchos' 40th birthday celebrations. To be precise, it was a blind date arranged by Greek-American Alexandros Papamarkou. He thought that Marie-Chantal would be the ideal match for young Prince Pavlos.

"Alekos not only made sure we both showed up at the same place, but he also had us sit next to each other at dinner," recalls Pavlos. "And it clicked," said Marie-Chantal. "It was love at first sight. I knew he was the man I was going to marry." Pavlos finally proposed during the 1994 Christmas break on a cable car in the Swiss resort of Gstaad.

I came across this photo from the Boda Real Infanta Elena y Jaime de Marichalar on March 18, 1995. Pavlos and MC were engaged then!

Marie-Chantal is the most attractive of the three Miller sisters imo. She hasn't physically changed that much at all.

I think back then the most beautiful was Pia, then Alexandra and lastly MC. But in the course of years MC managed to maintain herself nicely and evolve her style.

I've never seen a really good photo of Pia. The one that sticks out in memory had her hair looking like she had been put through an electric socket.
