The husband of Nina, Prince Philippos of Greece, has announced the arrival of their first child, Kimon Thomas Konstantinos. The infant was born in the United States on July 27, 2026, through the use of a gestational carrier.
A precedent set by Prince Gustav of Denmark in 2023
The use of a gestational carrier by Prince Philippos represents a modern evolution in how members of former or current royal families approach parenthood. as the report notes, this is not an entirely unprecedented move within the extended European royal network; Prince Gustav of Denmark and his wife,Princess Carina, also welcomed their first child via a surrogate in 2023.
While the Greek monarchy was officially abolished in 1974, the family maintains significant social and symbolic ties to the British Royal Family. Prince Philippos, the son of the late King Constantine II, grew up with close connections to the House of Windsor, having been raised in London near the circles of the late Princess Diana.
Honoring Thomas Flohr and King Constantine II through Kimon’s names
The naming of the newborn, Kimon Thomas Konstantinos, serves as a dual tribute to both sides of the child's heritage. According to the source, the middle names were chosen to honor Nina's father,the Swiss businessman Thomas Flohr, and Philippos' late father, the former King of Greece, Constantine II.
This connection to the Flohr family links the infant to the aviation industry, as Thomas Flohr is the founder of the private jet charter company VistaJet. Nina Flohr herself previously served as a creative director for the company before founding the Bazaruto Center for Scientific Studies.
From London’s Hampstead Heath to New York’s financial sector
Prince Philippos' personal history is deeply intertwined with British high society. Born in 1986 at St Mary's Hospital in London, he was raised in a 13-bedroom estate on the edge of Hampstead Heath, a location frequently visited by Princess Diana.
The 40-year-old Prince has pursued a career outside of traditional royal duties, working as a hedge fund analyst in New York following his graduation from Georgetown University. His wife, 39-year-old Nina, has focused her efforts on marine research through her nonprofit organization.
The decision to withhold photos of Kimon Thomas Konstantinos
Despite the announcement, the couple has not released any images of the baby. Additionally, while the statement thanks the medical team, the specific identity of the gestational carrier remains private. The report also does not clarify if the family intends to maintain this level of privacy as Kimon grows.
