THE ROYAL HOUSE OF GREECE AND DENMARK MOURNS THE LOSS, PRINCE MICHAEL OF GREECE AND DENMARK PASSES AWAY
Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark, the last surviving grandson of King George the First of Greece, passed away at the age of 85. He had chosen to be known for more than his royal lineage, giving up his inheritance rights to marry Marina Carella, a painter and sculptor. They had two daughters. Michael was born in Rome in 1939, the only son of Prince Christopher of Greece. After his parents' deaths, he was raised by his uncle in Paris. Michael was related to various European royal families and played a supportive role to the Greek royal family during World War II. He renounced his claim to the Greek throne to marry Marina, with whom he fell in love at first sight. They settled in Greece, where Michael became a renowned historian and writer. He reflected on the changing nature of royalty and embraced the freedom to choose his own life. In his later years, he dedicated himself to preserving history through his writings. Prince Michael's life serves as a reminder that nobility is not limited to titles, and the relevance of royalty lies in personal choices and contributions to culture and knowledge.
