Together for more than twenty years, Tatiana Blatnik and Nikolaos of Greece formed one of the most fashionable royal couples. The two lovers met in 2003 during a New Year’s Eve party in Switzerland. It was love at first sight, which led them to get married seven years later: on August 25, 2010, the lovebirds said yes to each other in Greece, on the island of Spetses, in front of an audience of prestigious guests. And since then, everything seemed perfect. It was therefore with great surprise that fans of the elite discovered, on Friday April 19, the official announcement of their separation. Indeed, an official press release revealed that the two crowned heads have chosen by mutual agreement to divorce “after fourteen years of marriage”.
Published by the Greek family, this press release announces a “important and sincere decision” taken by Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana, that of “dissolve their marriage”. “The decision was made with great care and mutual respect, reflecting the depth of appreciation they have for each other and the times they shared”it is written in the press release, specifying that “Their future interactions will continue to be guided by these same principles of respect and understanding, as they engage in a relationship rooted in deep friendship.” Established in Greece since 2013, making them the first members of Greek royalty to reside in the country since the abolition of the monarchy, the former “will continue to live and build their lives in Greece, a place they both consider home.” In conclusion, it is stated that “the family will always support them.”
