Biography

Early life and education

Nikolaos was born on 1 October 1969 in Rome, Italy, where his family had been living in self-exile since December 1967.[2] His father was deposed in 1973 and the monarchy abolished 8 December 1974.[1]

Like his brothers and sisters, he was educated in the Hellenic College of London,[3] founded by his parents in 1980.[2] He attended Brown University in Rhode Island,[3] graduating with an A.B. in International Relations. He has worked for Fox Television Network in New York,[3] NatWest Markets in London and is currently working in his father's private office since 1998. He is a member of board of the Anna-Maria Foundation, designed to help victims of natural disasters like floods and earthquakes in Greece.

Nikolaos has an older sister Alexia, an older brother Pavlos, a younger sister Theodora and a younger brother, Philippos.[2]

Engagement and marriage

Nikolaos's engagement to Tatiana Ellinka Blatnik, with whom he had been in a long term relationship, was announced on 28 December 2009, by the office of King Constantine in London.[4] Until July 2010, when she resigned to concentrate on her wedding plans, Blatnik had worked in the publicity department as an event planner for fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg.[5][6][7]

The couple married in the Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas, Spetses, Greece on 25 August 2010.[8]
