I can´t watch the photos

 

[TLLK]

The photos are great. It is wonderful to see the family out enjoying themselves. My favorite part of EuroDisney was seeing the dragon under Sleeping Beauty's castle.

 

[olili]

Someone can tell me where I can watch the photos.
Thank you

 

[samitude]

Yes, MO have braces on her teeth. I think MC is pregnant because she look pregnant and tired.

I was wondering the same thing. Is she pregnant or is the style of the top? In that picture she looks fuller in the face too.

 

[misselle]

She does look pregnant in that picture...it could be the style of the top,but then again,she does appear to have a fuller midsection...

 

[love36]

Love the photos of MC, but it appears here hair is two different lenghts.
Does she wear extentions.

Another question does she wear her e-ring can nto see it on these photos.

 

[kelly9480]

I don't think her hair is two different lengths in the photos. I've never read of her using extensions, or seen evidence of extensions.

I don't think she wears her original engagement ring. I haven't seen it on her finger in a while. I read that she wore a diamond eternity band now.

Are they residing in London or New York. Do they have personal security? I know as royals, they do not sign autographs, but they're exiled royals and they work and have business dealings so does that make a difference?

 

[olili]

They live in London in Chelsea. She drives from her house to her shop. The shop is extremely beautiful, I was there.

 

[PrincessDianafan]

Thanks. I should visit it the next time I'm in London.

 

[Stefanie]

Not pregnant

Don´t think MC is pregnant. Why should they announce it that late when you already can see a belly. Would be the first time.
I´m thinking of whether she´ll have a fifth one anyway. I´m sure they wish a girl this time but this girl would be more than ten years Olympia´s junior. Makes no sence. So why have another one...

 

[pollyemma]

MC and Pavlos have been as one of Vanity Fair's most stylish couples. congrats!

 

[Piaa]

That's great....and I can see why....

I do believe they have security (with their fame and $$$ they really would be crazy not to). I know there is a "guard" outside their home (I believe she also makes mention of it in her recent BV interview). I also think they have personal BGs. At least MC and Pavlos. I remember seeing a photo of MC when she was pregnant with Achilleas and there was a man with her as she walked along a London street ID'd in the photo as a body guard. The fact that they aren't reigning royals doesn't really matter. A lot of sports/Hollywood/singer celebrity types have personal security due to their high profiles and financial status. There are a lot of nuts out there who wouldn't hesitate to stoop to kidnapping and other terror tactics.

I noticed Pavlos & MC weren't at the family gathering in Denmark recently. They missed Theodora's graduation too. They don't seem to participate much in family stuff. I wonder why?

 

[iceflower]

I'm a bit late, but thank you very much for the nice pics from Disneyland!
It's so great that they allowed some pics and it's a perfect place to make colourful pics while the kids can have fun and enjoy adventure at the same time
As to participating in big family events, I would say that every little family needs some time for itself, that does not mean anything..

I think they base whether they attend some family events around their children's school schedules, and they also seem to spend some time with MC's family. I know their children would have been in school when Theodora graduated, but I don't know that they've gone back to school already, so maybe they were with her family.

 

[miaamor]

M.C. loks very pretty the picture is very clear thanks.miaamor

 

[miaamor]

I don't agree!!

I have noticed that the very rich and "old monied "do not use much make up,just enough to enhance the features.Too much makeup is considered vulgar.Marie Chantal is said to be wearing "real makep" if you look closley,but it's natural and enhances her already good looks.

they do use a lots of make up some of them and is very visible, like the queen of england,carolina de monaco likes brigth color lipstiks and she looks very good,M.C. looks very natural and she looks good, but sometimes less doesen't mean better even if they have all the money in the world, there is this princes i don't remember her name but she's very pretty and she uses a lot of make up she is the sister in law of Mette-Marit and she doesen't look vulgar.miaamor.

 

[Avalon]

...there is this princes i don't remember her name but she's very pretty and she uses a lot of make up she is the sister in law of Mette-Marit and she doesen't look vulgar.miaamor.

I assume you are talking about Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, since she is the sister-in-law of Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

 

[magnik]

I wonder - would Pavlos marry MC (if he would know her) if his father still would be the reigning monarch? Would Constantine ever give him his consent to this marriage?

 

[misselle]

I like Mrs. Miller's suit.MC does look very tanned.Thanks for posting the pictures!

I wonder - would Pavlos marry MC (if he would know her) if his father still would be the reigning monarch? Would Constantine ever give him his consent to this marriage?

Interesting question. Who's to really know? Ever since MC and Pavlos announced their engagement there have been whispers that it was an "arranged" marriage: the social-climbing Millers were looking to marry off their daughters to high-profile, preferably royal/aristocratic, men. The rather impoverished (by royal standards) Greek RF was looking for money. If this is true, then both families got their wish. MC & Pavlos say they married for love and it was "love at first sight". I find that sorta hard to believe. Esp. knowing of the Millers determination to marry into "exceptional" families. And I'm sure the idea of marrying a Prince and becoming a Royal Highness (whether credible or not) was very much appealing to MC. But you never know. Constantine has often remarked on the "legacies" of the European royal families and how important familial ties are. I tend to think that if he still reigned, and if Pavlos and Pavlos' son/grandson would one day reign as well, Constantine would have preferred a blue-blooded wife for his heir. If he were still King, he's have more wealth and, hence, wouldn't need for his son to marry an heiress. But this is just my opinion.

 

[kelly9480]

If Constantine had been reigning, Pavlos wouldn't have been in New Orleans on the night they met -- he would have been in Athens carrying out royal engagements. So it makes perfect sense to me to state that they married because the Greeks aren't reigning -- they wouldn't have met otherwise. MC definitely was not in royal circles before her marriage, she didn't even hang out with deposed royals, so she certainly wouldn't have come in contact with a reigning royal.

 

[miaamor]

You are rigth.

I assume you are talking about Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, since she is the sister-in-law of Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

Yes that's Her name, Martha Louise of Norway is very pretty and She's not shy to were anything She want's in Her face or body, I admire Her for been so original. thanks very much. miaamor

 

[Piaa]

Does anyone know if MC and Pavlos' friendship with the crown prince couple of Norway is still going strong....

Interesting theory, except that the party they met at was of a mutual aquintance of both MC and Pavlos, and happened to be one of Greece's wealthiest shipping magnates, a friend of the Miller's as well as a supporter of the GRF. So they might have met anyways.

Shortly before MC had her last child there was a photo shoot of her family (along w her niece, Talita) at a villa in Greece. The Norweigen crown prince and princess (with their children) were there as well. Other than that, I haven't heard or seen anything about these two families socializing outside of large royal events.

The norwegian CP couple visit Paul and Marie-Chantal in London on a pretty regular basis (most of the time in autumn).
After that holiday vacation in Greece two years ago, CP Mette-Marit became one of Prince Odysseus´godmothers in June ´05 and Paul in turn became godfather of Sverre Magnus. So you can be pretty sure, that they keep contact even if the public won´t know about it

Paul/ Pavlos was studying together with his Cousin Felipe of Spain in the US,
who, as a son of a reigning monarch, didn´t study in his homeland as well.
Most of the european Crown Princes, if not all of them, studied abroad,
so it is more than likely that the greek Crownprince would have done so with his father being in office as well.
It´s at least possible that he and Marie-Chantal would have met in that case, as CP Felipe was also one of the set who joined that New-Orleans-party whetre the two met (one of her sisters socialized with Royals as well; she later married Prince Alexander of Fürstenberg).
It´s not unusual at all for girls from the "society" to be in contact with Royalty. William and Harry for instance have almost only contact with those kind of young people...
