Friday Prince Blogging

Today we make a stop in Montenegro for HRH Boris Petrović-Njegoš, Hereditary Prince of Montenegro, Grand Duke of Grahovo and Zeta.

Wikipedia informs us that Prince Boris was born 21 January 1980 in Les Lilas, France (which makes me feel ancient). He is the only son and heir of Prince Nikola of Montenegro and his wife Francine Navarro.
Prince Boris graduated in June 2005 from the "École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratif" (Paris, France), one of the most famous French school in decorative arts. During his studies, he was particularly involved in the creation of computerised typography.
Wikipedia adds:
Boris is married to Véronique (née Haillot Canas da Silva) (b. 27 July 1976 in São Sebastião da Pedreira, Lisbon, Portugal), the daughter of António Canas da Silva, engineer, and Anne Haillot. They have one child: Her Highness Princess Miléna Petrovic-Njegoš of Montenegro, born at Maternité des Lilas, Seine-Saint-Denis, France on 11 February 2008.
This means the photo above is very recent (within the last month). It is also the only one I found on the internet.

Congratulations to the princely couple on their new daughter.
