Prince Nikolaos of Greece recently attended a memorial service at the Royal Palace of Tatoi to honor his late father, King Constantine, who passed away in January 2023.
According to Greek media, Prince Nikolaos was accompanied at the intimate gathering by his rumored new girlfriend, Chrysí Vardinogianni. While neither has publicly commented on their relationship, the two are known to be family friends. Chrysí previously attended the wedding of Nikolaos’ sister, Princess Theodora, in September 2023.
The 55-year-old prince and his wife, Princess Tatiana of Greece, 44, announced their divorce in April 2023 after 14 years of marriage. The Greek royal household confirmed their separation on April 19 with a statement:
“Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana, after fourteen years of living together, have decided to dissolve their marriage. Both express the difficulty of this decision, the deep appreciation and respect they have for each other, and the love with which they have walked all these years.
“The same values of respect and understanding will form the basis of their relationship in the future—a relationship of deep and sincere friendship. They will continue to live and work in Greece, a place where they both feel at home. The family will always be at their side. Thank you very much for your respect and discretion.”
Prince Nikolaos, the third child of the late King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie, began dating Tatiana Blatnik in the early 2000s. The couple announced their engagement in December 2009 and tied the knot on August 25, 2010.
In October 2023, Tatiana reflected on her challenging year in an interview with BHMagazino. She described 2024 as “a really difficult year,” marked by her divorce and the disappearance of her stepbrother, Attilio Brillembourg.
She shared: “It was a year of transition, full of moments of uncertainty and pain. I think it is in adversity that we often find our deepest strength. Life’s challenges remind me how important it is to persevere, to have hope, and to believe in the power of the human spirit.”
Tatiana also expressed gratitude for the support of her loved ones, adding: “I had the support of my family, my friends, and my entourage, and I drew immense strength from them. Everything happened at the same time. It was like an avalanche of changes in front of everyone. I learned the importance of allowing myself to feel, cry, manage emotions, and move forward with self-compassion.”
