As mentioned in an earlier post, Marie-Chantal of Greece and her husband, Prince Pavlos, welcomed a fifth child whose name had yet to be known.

It has been announced that their 3rd son is named Aristidis Stavros, who is a prince of Greece and Denmark. His paternal grandparents are ex-King Constantine of Greece and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (and a princess of Denmark).

Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece gave birth to her fifth child, a son, the day before her thirteenth wedding anniversary with her husband, Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece.

The new baby joins the royal couple’s four other children: 11-year-old Maria-Olympia, nine-year-old Constantine Alexios, and three-year-old Odysseas-Kimon.

While the family continue to use their royal titles, the Greek monarchy was actually abolished in 1974 with the rise of the Hellenic Republic. The king is referred to as “ex-King” Constantine of Greece.

The former Marie-Chantal Miller, daughter of the duty-free shops “king” Robert Miller, married Prince Pavlos July 1, 1995 in a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony in London.

Princess Alexia of Greece had her youngest child, Amelia, baptized on the island of Lanzarote. The ceremony was witnessed by dozens of family members.

Guests included Amelia’s maternal grandparents, the former King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece and other royals.

Princess Alexia and her husband, architect Carlos Morales Quintana, married in London in July 1999. They live on Lanzarote in a house Quintana designed specifically for his family.
