Yesterday, Princess Tatiana, daughter-in-law of the last King and Queen of Greece, celebrated her birthday. In her honor, we’re devoting today’s article to a look at the sparkling tiaras she’s worn since joining the extended European royal family.
Tatiana Blatnik, born in Venezuela and raised in Switzerland, worked as a fashion publicist and event planner before her engagement to Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark was announced in December 2009. Nikolaos is the second son of the late King Constantine II of Greece and Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark. He was born in exile, but the family was able to return to Greece in more recent years. Nikolaos and Tatiana married there, on the island of Spetses, on August 25, 2010.
With her Angel Sanchez-designed wedding gown, Princess Tatiana wore a tiara borrowed from her new mother-in-law. The Antique Corsage Tiara was commissioned for Anne-Marie as an eighteenth-birthday gift by her parents, King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark, in 1964. The tiara was made from a corsage ornament that belonged to Ingrid’s grandmother, Queen Victoria of Sweden. It’s also been worn as a bridal diadem by Anne-Marie’s other daughters-in-law, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal and Princess Nina.
Princess Tatiana wore the Antique Corsage Tiara, plus her diamond and pearl wedding earrings, for a second time three years later at the wedding of Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Christopher O’Neill in Stockholm.
Tatiana also wore a round floral brooch for the occasion.
For another Swedish royal wedding in June 2015, the nuptials of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, Princess Tatiana wore a different tiara entirely.
She paired a petite diamond fringe tiara, borrowed from Bulgari, with dramatic modern statement earrings from Danelian.
Princess Tatiana reached for her wedding tiara once more in May 2017, this time for a royal birthday celebration in Norway.
She wore the Antique Corsage Tiara and her wedding earrings in Oslo to celebrate the 80th birthdays of King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway. We’ve had a bit of a tiara drought where Tatiana is concerned in recent years. Here’s hoping we see her sparkling again in a family diadem soon! Which Greek royal tiara would you like to see her wear next?
