Ceremony in Athens
Greek ex-prince marries shipowner’s daughter
Just over a year after his divorce, the former Greek Prince Nikolaos married Chrysi Vardinogianni, the daughter of one of Greece's richest shipping and industrial families, in a church ceremony in Athens. The ceremony took place in a small Orthodox church beneath the Acropolis, the symbol of Athens.

Former Queen of Spain among the guests
The guests also included the former Queen of Spain, Sofia. She is the groom's aunt. The monarchy in Greece was abolished by referendum in 1974. At that time, the members of the former royal family had lost their Greek citizenship because they refused to take on a surname. Similar to the law passed in Austria in 1919, aristocratic titles have not been recognized in Greece under the constitution since the abolition of the monarchy.
Former aristocrats moved back to Greece
The former Greek nobles from the German House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg relented in December last year and adopted the surname "de Grèce". This fulfilled the most important requirement for their naturalization: the acquisition of a Greek surname. Since then, Nikolaos and some of his family members have been living in Greece again.
