Isn't that aqua dress in the first post the same one Jackie. O wore and the one J.Lo wore to the Oscars?

yeah, Valentino designed the dresses inspired by Jackie O. MC wore hers before Jlo, at the Costume Gala 2001 honoring Jackie Kennedy. Their dresses are made in different fabrics and the colors are different shades of green. I think MC looked better. I wish I could find a larger picture of it.

^I agree. J.Lo didn't look good in that dress at all. It wasn't her style.

Techincally, Greece doesn't have royalty as the Greek population decided to abolish it in 1967. However, Marie Chantal's husband (Pavlos) was born the Crown Prince of Greece before the abolishment. However, the title of Prince or Princess isn't really real or constitutional, it is more of an honourary title that is not recongize by the Greek government.

However they do have very close ties to other European's royalty, especially to the Queen of Denmark (Pavlos' maternal aunt), Queen of Spain (Pavlos' paternal aunt), and I believe Prince William is godfather to one of Pavlos and Marie-Chantal's children.

She is very elegant and polished in the way she dressed

If they aren't really royalty, where do they get their money from?

You can say that again.

To tell you the truth i really get very pissed when i read those things. We don't have royalty, we don't have kings and queens, and she's most definately not princess of Greece.
We have 100% democracy. And very proud of it!

That is true! We don't have royalty and it was until a year or two that they first visited Greece after tha abolisment! The way though is very FUNNY!!!
