Happy Birthday to Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark, who turns 33 today! The youngest of the five children of King Constantine II of Greece and Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, and a nephew of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Queen Sofia of Spain, he was born in London during the family’s exile, named after his paternal cousin, the Duke of Edinburgh, who was born Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark. His godparents include Diana, Princess of Wales, King Juan Carlos of Spain (uncle), the Duke of Edinburgh, Infanta Elena of Spain (cousin), Princess Benedikte of Denmark and Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg (aunt), Prince Michael of Greece (cousin), Kyril, Prince of Preslav, and Countess Mountbatten. Educated at the Hellenic College of London and the United World College-USA, Prince Philippos attended Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington D.C., and graduated with a Bachelors in foreign relations. He is in relationship with Swiss Heiress Nina Flohr, and resides in New York City, where he works as an analyst at Ortelius Capital, saying “I work for a living. Everyone has to work, and in that sense, I’m like everyone else.” Prince Philippos is frequently seen at family events like Crown Prince Frederik’s 50th Birthday and the Wedding of Princess Eugenie. I wish HRH a very Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns!
