Source-derived summary

Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark (Greek: Νικόλαος Ντε Γκρες, romanized: Nikólaos de Grèce; born 1 October 1969) is the third child of Constantine II and Anne-Marie, who were the last King and Queen of Greece, from 1964 to 1973.

Early life and education

Nikolaos was born at Casa di Cura Privata Nuova Villa Claudia in Rome, Italy, on 1 October 1969. He is the first royal child to be born in hospital from Constantine II of Greece and Anne-Marie of Denmark. His family had been living in exile since December 1967. His father was deposed in 1973 and the monarchy abolished on 8 December 1974.

He was baptized in the Greek Orthodox Church. His godparents were Queen Sofía, Queen of Spain (his paternal aunt), Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark (another paternal aunt), Margareta of Romania (his paternal second cousin), and Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia (another paternal second cousin).

Like his brothers and sisters, he was educated in the Hellenic College of London, founded by his parents in 1980. He attended Brown University in Rhode Island, graduating with an A.B. in International Relations. He has worked for Fox Television Network in New York, NatWest Markets in London and is currently working in his father's private office since 1998.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Prince, Nikolaos and Greece provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q583639. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1964, 1973 and 1967.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
