Prince Michael’s grandmother, Princess Nicholas of Greece, was born Grand Duchess Helen Vladimirovna, a member of the Romanov family. Princess Nicholas (as she was known) interested her grandson in her native country. In 1966 Prince Michael attended a Russian language course in what is now the Defence School of Languages at Beaconsfield. The course included a period of study in Paris living with a White Russian family. Prince Michael qualified as a Military Interpreter in 1968.
