After a whirlwind engagement, Prince Nikolaos married Chrysí Vardinogianni in a beautiful ceremony on Friday, but where will the newlyweds live?

Nikolaos' family lived in exile for many years in Hampstead, London, before eventually returning to their native country in 2013, and now Athens is where he calls home.

The couple are incredibly private and have never revealed exactly where they live. We can only imagine it is a creative hub for the Prince's work and is filled with the most amazing art!

The romance

The couple's friendship is said to go back several years. As reported by HELLO! Greece, Chrysí was at the wedding of Nikolaos' sister Princess Theodora last September and recently accompanied the Prince to a memorial service for his late father,  Constantine II, the last King of Greece.
