H.R.H. Prince Nikolaos of Greece Attends a Party with His Wife in London

In the recent issue of Hola magazine there is a nice fluffy article about Their Royal Highnesses Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana of Greece whereupon  the journalist proclaimed the couple as The Elegance of Solidarity!

Uh.  Okay.

The journalist who wrote this article noted:

[they]… are a happy young couple is seen in each of their joint public appearances. The couple is about to enter their seven month of marriage and they seems to live in a permanent honeymoon sharing their time as long as possible together.

Interesting.

I don’t know what kind of Kool-Aid the journalist drank before writing his/her article for Hola, but I have rarely seen any photos of Prince Nikolaos out at all the fabulous parties she attends every other night since those two tied the knot back in August 2010.

Any way, the prince looked… like his usual self in the photos accompanying the article; however, I must say that in the above photo his pants look a bit funky around the crotch area, and I am not so sure about that powdered-blue scarf around his royal neck.  Don’t get me started about his eyebrows either.  But, on the positive side at least his nine month old Veneers are holding up quite nicely.

OH!  And, Princess Tatiana looked fabulously chic as always.
