They moved to London in 2003 to be closer to Pavlos' parents, King Constantine II and Queen Anne Marie, who lived in Hampstead.  The king and queen now live full time in Greece.

In a 2015 interview in Hello magazine,  Princess Marie Chantal said: "I feel at home in the UK, probably because I grew up in Hong Kong when it was still under British rule.  I have a British passport. But I also feel very influenced by my husband's culture.  All of these roots have made me someone who is very adaptable."

The princess was born in London.  Her father, Robert Miller, was born in the United States, but acquired British citizenship in the late 1960s.  He
