It was late Friday afternoon when the royal house of Greece issued the statement: Prince Nicholas (54) and Tatiana Blatnik (43)
They divorce after 14 years of marriage and more than two decades together. This is a “significant and sincere decision” that comes shortly after the funeral mass was celebrated for the death of Constantine, Nicholas’s father.
That meeting in Windsor, which was an authentic royal enclave that included King Felipe and Queen Letizia – very elegant, by the way – and a large part of the Spanish royal family did not foreshadow this news that has come out unexpectedly despite having been a
decision made with great caredo, as explained in the statement.
«After fourteen years of marriage, they have chosen
amicably dissolve your union«, thus began the statement that made official the end of the relationship between the third son of the last Hellenic kings, Constantine and Ana María, and Tatiana Blatnik, also known as the Venezuelan princess because of her place of birth.
«This decision was made with great care and mutual respect, reflecting the depth of
their mutual appreciation and the moments they have shared,” they have clarified, emphasizing that it is an amicable divorce that has come from both parties and in which there are no disagreements involved.
“Your future interactions will continue to be guided by these same principles of
respect and comprension, as they move towards a relationship rooted in a strong friendship. They
They will continue to live and build their lives in Greece, a place they both call home. The Family will always support you. We sincerely thank you for your understanding and for respecting your privacy during this time,” they conclude.

It was only two months ago that we last saw Nicolás and Tatiana together. It happened during the
funeral mass in memory of Constantine of Greecethe last Hellenic king who had died a year earlier, an event that brought together different representatives of the European royal houses and was attended by Queen Camilla of England alone due to the illness of Charles III.
At the doors of St. George’s Chapel in Windsor and before the Orthodox mass that took place in London began, the couple was captured together in such a sad and difficult moment for the Greek royal family. In black and with a serious face
they arrived at the appointment arm in arm.
There they joined the
siblings of Nicholas Paul of Greece, with his wife Marie-Chantal; Princess Alexia, with her husband Carlos Morales; Prince Philippos with his wife Nina Flohr; and Princess Theodora and her fiancé, Matthew Kumar. A family enclave characterized by emotion, sadness and nostalgia that also became her public farewell as a couple.
They met thanks to Marie-Chantal Miller
The couple married on August 25, 2010 on the Greek island of Spetses before 380 guests, an ‘I do’ that came after several years of courtship that began after meeting each other.
while they were skiing in Gstaad, Switzerland. Marie-Chantal Miller, wife of Pablo de Grecia, was the one who introduced her brother-in-law to Tatiana Blatnik.
The
Greek princess was the matchmaker of this couple who has just announced the end of their love. This is probably very sad news and difficult to digest for Marie-Chantall, who is also mourning the death of her father-in-law Constantine.
