Avec ou sans couronne [French]

By Michel de Grèce

A king without a kingdom, Prince Micheal of Greece and Denmark met some of the biggest names of his time. He recount his out-of-the-ordinary fate.

Throughout a personal narrative, rich with a life spent gathering stories (his great passion), Prince Micheal of Greece and Denmark presents a colourful gallery within which intermingle royals and artists, living legends and ordinary people: Maria Callas, Fellini, Margaret Thatcher, the General De Gaulle, Mother Theresa, Niki of Saint Phalle, Queen Elizabeth II and many others, with or without crowns. With modesty but without digression, he retraces his history, that of a 20-year-old young orphan prince, propelled right to the heart of the Greek royal family - a country that he discovers at the same time as he begins to bear its name. From the turbulance of the Greek revolution to the artistic buzz of New York, from the spectacular collapse of dictatorships and empires of the 20th century to official trips to meet the great figures of his time, nothing escapes the author's keen eye.

Born in Rome in 1939, the Prince Micheal of Greece and Denmark is a close relative of most of the current European sovereigns. Historian, he has published over 20 works, including La nuit du S rail which has sold more than one million copies.
