Have some technical issues here; the link for Olga goes to and Olga born 1903? Come on folks, don't make this site look like a cheap want-to-be genealogical site. [Technical Writing, Sharon&Sharon Fourth Edition]

It says Prince Michael was a "Third Lieutenant" in the Greek Army. Was there such a rank at one time? Now they have lokhagos (captain), upolokhagos (literally "sub-captain", i.e. "lieutenant") and anthupolokhagos (second lieutenant). Perhaps that system of terminology led to some confusion? --Jpbrenna 23:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Morganatic marriage

If, as the article says, Prince MIchael's marriage to Marina was morganatic, how is it that their children have titles? Morganatic marriages prevent the transfer of a husband's rank and title to his spouse and children. Any ideas? (203.26.177.2 05:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC))

His daughters have titles, but not succession rights. Charles 15:00, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael or Michel?

In the copyright page for The White Night of St. Petersburg, the author's name is given as "Michel, Prince of Greece". Anyone have any idea why this spelling? Tualha (Talk) 15:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I believe his name may have been incompletely translated from French, which I believe is the language the book was written in first. Charles 15:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

FYI: there should be some notation that "Prince Michael of Greece" is his legal name, ie his actual name, legally, per a legal decision in a court case initiated by him, not just per birth. I recall there being an interview with him and mention of this.Mowens35 17:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
