That is why I wrote I hope this will be a dynastic marriage but Crisy would be a first. So it is significant to mention. Previous Message
Well then that makes any discussion about whether or not this is a dynastic marriage just plain old nonsense with so many commoners marrying into the Greek royal family. We are entering the second quarter of the 21 century. I recommend the royal families of Europe do the same. Previous Message
So far all marriages of a prince to a Greek commoner have been non-dynastic.
However marriages to mainly wealthy foreign women who were not of Royal blood were approved. Nancy Leeds became Princess Anastasia as the first wife of prince Christopher, Marie-Chantal Miller, Tatiana Blatnik and Nina Flohr were also elevated to the rank of princess of Greece and Denmark.
The only non-Greek commoner not to become a princess of Greece and Denmark was Irina Ovtchinnikova who married prince Peter of Greece and Denmark. By that time she was twice divorced and not approved of by her husband's family. Previous Message
If his marriage with Tatiana was considered dynastic, why would this one not be considered such?
Aspasia who married King Alexander secretly had a very interesting life I must say. She was not a commoner but rather a member of the old Greek aristocracy and albeit her marriage was contested and considered non-dynastic her daughter became Queen (consort) of Yugoslavia.
Marina's husband Michael was not a member of the main line so his choice for a Greek commoner was less scandalous I suppose. Previous Message
She is the third Greek woman marrying into the family.
The first was Aspasia Manos who married King Alexander (her relative is the current Duchess of Chartres), the second Marina Karella was married to Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark who died last year.
Both these marriages were considered to be non-dynastic. I hope that will change with this marriage. Previous Message
Well it is a bit fast isn't it? But then again they might have entered into a relationship well before the separation from Tatiana was made public. Will she be the first Greek national to marry into the newly named De Grece royal family? Previous Message

She' s in her fourties, divorced with two children and probably pregnant.
What is your source for “probably pregnant”?
