Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece posts tribute to "Uncle Philip"

Harry and Markle: Take note. This is how it's done. You didn't have to write something as extensive as Pavlos did, but that nothing message that you two posted is embarrassing and hardly acceptable.

Not much thought went into the Markles' message. They could have added a bit of a personal touch instead of making it seem like they were offering condolences about the doorman of a nearby apartment building.

Well, at least some people care about the old bastard's death.

Pavlos does not own Mon Repos it was confiscated decades ago.

Bring back the Greek royal family. Pavlos is a good-looking guy.

He was born on the dining room table, and the family home didn't have electricity or central heating.

R3. Well, Mon Repos was the Greek family's island home for a century including the time when Pavlos was born.

The Greek royal family remains popular in Greece. Some members of the family still live there including the second son, Prince Nikolaos, and his wife, Princes Tatiana, and they all return for vacation and to see the former king and queen, Constantine and Anne-Marie.

Greece no longer has a Royal family, the larping is embarrassing they should move on.

The Greek royal family has no Greek blood. They are Danish, German and Russian.

Meh. We say his crown jewels at Brown. The Miller sisters had the cash and married handsome rather dumb princes.

When trolls have to make threads about Meghan in regards to the death of a senior royal you know the Brf is tanking.

R8. I think the family has moved on. Pavlos has a job in the financial industry in NYC and has done quite well.

R10. Pavlos is not dumb if you've ever seen him interviewed. He's quite well-spoken. His brother and wife who live in Greece are involved with fundraising activities for various Greek charitable organizations. The other kids are married and live lowkey lives out of the spotlight. But it may be hard to escape the family's history when your mother and father are the former king and queen and still live in Greece.

It is a magnificent tribute wrapped around a humble brag.

Hey, remember us, the Royal Greeks?

Is Pavlos Greek active or Greek passive?

OP = racist who admires Prince Philip because he was racist, too.

You guys sure are obsessed with Meghan, huh?

by Anonymousreply 17April 11, 2021 12:53 AM

That was beautifully written. The Harkles' offering seems to have been put together in a rush, by an intern.

She's queen. She's free at any time.

R17 operates according to the impeccable logic (although maybe logic has also been added to the pile of "white" virtues that now need to be abolished?) which says that anyone who criticises Meghan Markle in any way is automatically a racist. If Meghan's critics are really racists, maybe they would choose a target who is actually black and not 2/3 white.

Remember how back in the day when someone died you weren't judged by the length of your Instagram tribute, rather you were judged on how hard you cried (or didnt) at their funeral?

I fucking remember.

by Anonymousreply 21April 11, 2021 11:56 AM

Why does a personal statement like this need to be on Instagram? This should be a private letter to the Queen.

Pavlos and Marie Chantal’s desperate attempts to remind people of their lineage is pathetic. They are the first two to show up at a European royal function of any kind. They’re probably a wreck they can’t be at the funeral in person and sent this statement out to make sure people don’t forget them.

[quote]The Greek royal family remains popular in Greece.

So popular they were voted out. There are some pockets of popularity around the islands, but otherwise the country is overwhelmingly republican. The ex-King is never referred to as such in the press: it’s always “Constantine Glucksburg”. The sneers are unceasing.

A big part of the blame lies with his mother Queen Fredricka who dominated his gay father King Paul, and was profoundly undemocratic and interfered in politics unceasingly. The Greeks have never forgiven the family.

Pavlos's younger brother Prince Philippos was named after Prince Philip, who was born Philippos of Greece and Denmark before he anglicized it.

I could name my son after Prince Philip too. All that does is make me as desperate to retain relevancy as as the deposed Greek Royals.

She's a very accomplished and educated professional woman. She is a Certified Swiss Ski Nursery Attendant.

It's hilarious that the Marklestans are now attacking the family that bothered to put any effort into their condolence while trying to defend their crappy statement that sounds like it was written by people who had never met the man.

by Anonymousreply 36April 12, 2021 1:04 AM

Marie Chantal provides an admirable example of meaninglessness for Markle to follow in: Instagraming windows into her ordinary billionaire life for the little people.
