Prince Michael of Greece, who is married to celebrated artist Marina Karella, has a new photo memoir, “Crown, Art, and Fantasy: A Life in Pictures.”
Prince Michael of Greece was not going to let destiny get in the way of true love.
The grandson of King George I of Greece and first cousin of Britain’s Prince Philip renounced his rights to the Greek throne to marry a commoner, artist Marina Karella, in 1965. They share two daughters, Princess Alexandra and Princess Olga, as well as five grandchildren.
The 84-year-old’s photo memoir, “Crown, Art, and Fantasy: A Life in Pictures,” was published on Sept. 12. It features more than 500 photos documenting his life and royal upbringing. The proud patriarch told Fox News Digital he’s been gathering photos of his family and adventures since he was 17.

“To be a prince is to be like anyone but not to be considered like anyone – not by me, by the others,” Michael said. “[People] always have the wrong impression. They always imagine we have palaces, jewels, lots of money, that we do everything we want. … But for us who are a former monarchy … to be frank, our titles sometimes open doors – not everywhere and not in every country.”
