The work is probably legitimate but it is hard to escape the air of sleaze when it comes to debt collection. His firm probably has goons on speed dial. Isn't it interesting two fully royal born parents all grandparents ruling monarchs and Theodora is going to be a notch above a mafia wife weird.

Wasn't Alexia's husband accused of doing something shady in regard to a house he was building?  And IIRC, Tatiana's father was shady as hell.  I wonder if this is just more of the same.

My brother had a business in Spain for years and his observations were that almost everyone he dealt with was not totally "above board" - especially in relation to tax and declared income . . .  His business partner and accountant defrauded the tax authorities and went to jail. Luckily my brother had exited the business by that point.

Any money the Greek RF has is via Marie Chantal, so the next generation have to marry money as they don't have big trust funds etc. I have not read anything to suggest that they have been big achievers in terms of careers or income.

I remember the case against Carlos and he was cleared of any wrong doing.

At least Carlos was smarter than Inaki.

If he was guilty he was at least not stupid enough to leave any evidence and wriggle his way out of trouble.

Where exactly they will marry depends on the type of wedding they want to have I suppose.

I doubt MC and Pavlos wanted anything less than grand, which is why they got married in London. There's zero chance they'd have been able to marry in as magnificent a church in Greece, since there's no monarchy anymore. Nikolaos and Tatiana both love Greece, live there and they wanted a more relaxed wedding which is why they married there. I don't really think Theodora has a connection with the country, other than visiting her parents, so I would find it really odd if she chose to marry in Greece.

[Celia]

The Greek Orthodox cathedral in LA looks magnificent --but then, most Orthodox churches do. http://www.stsophia.org/.

When Pavlos got married, the Greek royal family was still persona non grata in Greece, so they wouldn't have been able to marry there even if they wanted to.  At least one of their children was baptized in Istanbul, IIRC, again because they couldn't do it in Greece.

Congratulations to Princess Theodora and Matthew!
