Princess Tatiana of Greece and Denmark usually likes to keep a low-profile, butthe 35-year-old beauty, who formerly worked in PR for Diane von Furstenberg, has just given an interview where she talks about something we'd all like to know: what is it really like to be a princess?
While speaking to the Globe and Mail about her new endeavor that supports Greek fashion andlifestyle boutiques, Princess Tatiana, who married Prince Nikolaos of Greece in 2010, said: “The irony is that prior tomarrying my husband, I felt that I had to behave like a princess, and dresslike a princess, and wear tiaras and tights and beige pumps. And I sort ofacted like a princess!”
However,Tatiana reveals the reality is far from what many imagine. “Now I just happento be married to a prince. I lead a very, very normal life. I’m very active,very sporty. I have a daily routine like everyone else. Once in a while I’llput on a ball gown and tiara. But apart from that, my life is very simple, butstill very exciting. I think that the irony is that after marrying a prince, I realizedthat it’s not about acting like a princess, it’s just being who you are.”
Discussingher community spirit the Venezuelan-born princess said she is excited aboutworking alongside local artists with her company TRIA ETC and that she is awareof her “sizeable social responsibility”.
“I was acharity representative in high school, I studied sociology at Georgetown, I didquite a lot of social work," she said. "Community service has always been something veryclose to my heart.” In fact, her dedication to philanthropy is part of her before and after. “I think that marrying Nikolaos made itgrow in me. And now I have found an outlet.”
