Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana of Greece have decided to divorce after 13 years of marriage. Despite expressing difficulty with the decision, they share deep appreciation and respect for each other and have walked together with love for many years. The couple, who do not have children, plan to continue living in Greece and hope to maintain a friendship in the future based on respect and understanding. They thanked everyone for their respect and discretion in this matter.
The announcement of the divorce came as a surprise to many royal watchers, as just two months earlier, Tatiana and Nikolaos had appeared together at a thanksgiving service for King Constantine II. The pair arrived arm in arm at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle for the ceremony, where Prince William, Nikolaos’s godfather, was expected to attend but had to change his plans due to his wife’s cancer diagnosis. Despite the public display of unity, the couple has now decided to part ways.
Tatiana previously shared insights into her simple daily life, emphasizing that despite her royal title, she lives a normal life and is welcomed by the Greek people. She described feeling the love of strangers, known as “philoxenia,” and expressed gratitude for being a part of the Greek family. She also mentioned that titles did not matter to her and she did not feel like a princess, but rather privileged to be part of the royal family after her wedding in 2010 on the island of Spetses in Greece.
Despite the divorce, both Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana of Greece have expressed their commitment to maintaining a deep and sincere friendship based on respect and understanding.
