The coolest princess in Europe

And what you can learn from her

By
Coolest princess in Europe

‘This is really Maria-Olympia,’ Leco said as he pulled me out of the cape. That was the press and play for me to Google this Maria-Olympia and indeed: she does not disappoint. I introduce you to Europe’s coolest royal style icon.


Who
Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark is the oldest child and the only daughter of Pavlos, the crown prince of Greece, and Marie Chantal Miller, who is the daughter of Robert Warren Miller. This Robert Warren, her grandfather, is the founder of duty-free shops, a sailing champion, and a billionaire. Oh, and he turns a hundred next month, so those genes are definitely good. Just like with the quarters.

Greece is no longer a monarchy, which means Maria-Olympia is no longer an official princess, but the family was allowed to keep their title without any further rights derived from it. Seems to me a typical case of enjoying the benefits without the burdens, because she has the money, the fame, and she happily leaves the duties to her colleagues from other little kingdoms.

As a bit of a social butterfly, her flight was not in Beetsterzwaag or Dedemsvaart, but in New York.

Ruined for life?
We don’t know, because she really does her best to work hard and study, but if you’re already sitting in the front row at Valentino in Rome at eleven, the bar is set pretty high.

What about taste and style?
Well, all good. After that first Valentino show, she wanted more. While we get to sniff around at the printing house of a friend’s father, she did her first internship at Dior in Paris, then walked in the Dolce & Gabbana show that same year, and not long after shined in the Michael Kors campaign.

She has studied a lot, but seemed happiest at Parsons, the prestigious fashion academy in New York. Meanwhile, she also lived in London for a while because the connections with the British royals are also close. For example, Charles is her godfather, and she is besties with Beatrice and Eugenie, the daughters of Sarah Ferguson.

Is there even a downside to mention?
There must be a scratch or a dent, but I haven’t been able to find them yet. She also has a really nice boyfriend: Peregrine Pearson, who is of noble descent and heir to a fortune of a messy 224 million pounds. Furthermore, not much is known about this charming young man, his Insta is private, but what I do see is his profile picture where you see a little boy with his pants around his ankles peeing in the bushes. And with that, he has won me over.

Do you have anything else?
Facts, you mean? Well, here they come.

  • Maria-Olympia calls herself Olympia
  • Surprisingly, she doesn’t speak Greek
  • So she is with Perry Pearson
  • Her favorite designers are Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, and Isabel Marant

  • She just had a collaboration with Dior and was looking casually stunning on the Belmond train through the Scottish Highlands.
  • I have a fresh obsession
