Nina and Philippos announced their engagement in September, following a proposal on the Greek island of Ithaca in the summer. The special moment was captured by Philippos' brother, Prince Nikolaos. Nina shared Nikolaos photos with the caption, "My dearest Philippos. I love you today, I will love you tomorrow and forever. You make us happier, better and stronger. I cannot wait to spend the rest our lives together (sic)."

The engagement announcement was similar to that of Princess Beatrice, who was photographed with her now-husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi by sister Princess Eugenie

Prince Philippos has close ties to the British royal family, not just through his late Godmother, but through his friendship with the princes and princesses. According to society paper Tatler, he and Nina are close friends with Princess Eugenie, who is pregnant with her first child, and even attended her 2018 wedding to Jack Brooksbank.
