Probably as an example as to why the Greek people should never reinstate the monarchy. ;D

The only Greek royal I find appealing is Queen Sofia (King Constantine's sister, now queen of Spain). As for the rest, they should let go of the idea of being restored to the throne. And it's pretty silly for M-C to expect people to curtsey to her. Even some people in reigning royal houses don't require people to curtsey!

From what I've read, they even refuse to adopt a surname. If, say, Glucksburg isn't "Greek" enough, they could use the surname Giorgios (after the first Glucksberg king). When I see them, I think "C'mon guys, give it up already."

Word. Actually, in Britain protocol exempts American citizens from having to curtsy. A sort of acceptance of their standing as a citizen and not a subject I believe.

Is Odyssevs Kimon ever going to be baptized??? After all he is already 6 months old!

I'd thought he was going to be baptized this month, but I haven't heard anything about it. I can't imagine Pavlos and Marie Chantal baptizing him without drumming up some press coverage.

Maybe they're still trying to drum up royal godparents?

This is so pathetic. Why not relatives of Marie Chantal's? Or are they not exalted enough?

Do you think that if (god forbid!) the Greek ROyals were reinstated, that Marie Chantal would be the Marie Antoinette of Greece?

You mean the excess, largesse, greed, arrogance, scandal, public disgrace, contempt for and ultimate betrayal of the common people? Ummm...yeah.

Her end would probably be just as grisly but rather than the guillotine, she'd be pelted to death by her large collection of Jimmy Choos as she tried to run for the hills. As they say, if the shoe fits...
