Princess Maria-Olympia, the world’s ‘most eligible single’? She interned at Dior, models for Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tiffany and Bulgari – and was once rumoured to be dating Prince Harry
Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark may be part of a non-reigning royal family, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be crowned in other ways: this stylish royal has just been given the title of the “world’s most eligible single” by Tatler.
While she seems to be enjoying her new life as a bachelorette, she’s also been seen out and about with some new prospects. Just last week, the princess was spotted leaving her home in London with TikTok chef Thomas Straker, according to British media, sparking rumours of a potential romance between the two.

She’s dated high-profile men
Maria-Olympia is so well connected that she was once rumoured to be linked to Prince Harry, before Meghan Markle! While these reports were later shut down by a royal source, per British media, it still shows just how close she is to the world’s most famous blue bloods (in fact, erm, she’s actually distantly related too).
While speculations around Harry were deemed untrue, the princess was however confirmed to be dating Peregrine Pearson, the son and heir of the 4th Viscount Cowdray, for three years until they split up in September, according to the British press.
