Princess Tatiana of Greece is hopping online for the first time since her ex-husband Prince Nikolaos tied the knot less than a year after theirown divorce.
On Feb. 12, Princess Tatiana (née Blatnik) updated followers on how she’s been feeling with a heartfelt post onInstagram. It was the first post from Tatiana, 44, following Prince Nikolaos' Feb. 7 wedding to Chrysí Vardinogianni, which was announced a little more than a week before the big day.
“I can’t start this post without saying thank you to this incredible community. To everyone who has made me feel at home, strong, and supported — YOU. My heart is full of gratitude,” she began the message.
The post opened with a glam black and white photo showing Tatiana smiling and rolled to show personal pictures including her unboxing a package, hitting the gym, working at a laptop and smiling in the sunshine.

“When people ask if I will continue to live in Greece, my answer has never been more of a YES. Because of you. Thank you for opening your doors, your hearts & your homes. Your kindness and support means everything,” she continued. Tatiana, a mental health advocate and founder of the nonprofit Breathe Hellas, was born in Venezuela and made Athens her home after marrying Prince Nikolaos, 55, in 2010.
“Because if there’s one thing I’ve realized, it’s that no matter how much green juice you drink, without community, there is no true health,” she wrote. “So, thank you all for keeping me healthy. My heart is full.”

The social impact professional said she was focused on expanding her projects and welcoming new partners in business that kept her “busy and inspired. And I can’t wait for what’s ahead.”
“Special thanks to those who help me stay strong — physically, emotionally and in every way that matters. You guys rock & you are my rock,” she ended.
Tatiana shared the candid message on the heels of a big week for the former royal family of Greece. On Feb. 7, Prince Nikolaos married at St. Nikolaos Ragavas church in Athens in a religious wedding that brought his family together. The office of the former royal family of Greece unveiled the plans just nine days before in a Jan. 29statementshared on their website, and Nikolaos and Chrysí made it official last Friday.
