Shortly after the New Year and before returning to Greece, Queen Anne-Marie and her family spent a few days at the Corviglia ski resort in St. Moritz, along with Crown Prince Pavlos, Princess Marie-Chantal, Prince Philippos, and Princess Nina Flohr. In 2020, Prince Philippos married Nina Flohr in a civil wedding ceremony at this very resort in St. Moritz.
I don't see any queen. Greece isn't a monarchy.
ReplyDeleteOnce a Queen, Queen for life!!!
DeleteWell, former queen! Still a Princess (of Denmark) and widely accorded the honorary title Queen, although not recognised as such in Greece, which as you say has no monarchy. I find all that more interesting than these three ladies being interrupted on their private holiday for a press photo!
DeleteShe was queen consort from 1964-73 before monarchy was abolished. It is part of Greek history. A lovely lady, nice to see her active with her family.
DeleteHow about former Queen then?
DeleteIt's Helen's blog and her editorial decision. If people get confused, they can check Wikipedia or other resources. Some of the family just won their citizenship back. Let them enjoy 15 minutes of media attention. Chris L
DeleteWell, she was a queen. Why dispute her title? Only people full of envy do this. Those people usually adore former actress M. Markle - and call her duchess - a title she acquired through marriage.

Delete@Anon 21:24 You are so right.
Excellent point well made. Rem
ReplyDeleteThe House of Glücksburg still exist even though a referendum chose to not have a royal house in Greece. This occurred in 1974. Therefore they retain their titles, of queen, prince, princess , as in King Constantine.
ReplyDeleteLovely they were able to be together as a family.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Ava, to move on to another topic... Yes nice for them.
DeleteJe sais bien qu'Anne Marie a conservé son titre pour la vie !
