Her recent ex appears to be moving on with A-lister Sophie Turner, but Greece’s Princess Maria Olympia looked far from dejected today as she spent time with celebrity chef Thomas Straker.
King Charles’ goddaughter, 27, beamed as she made her way to the celebrity chef’s car in Notting Hill, just days after her ex-boyfriend Peregrine Pearson spent time with Sophie Turner in Paris where they were spotted kissing .
However, Olympia, as she is known, looked unfazed as she stepped out chicly in a black sweater and trousers which she teamed with a stylish winter coat to leave her home with the chef.
Straker, 33, has a huge social media presence with 1.4 million followers on Instagram, 2.1 million on TikTok, where he first rose to fame with his butter recipes, and 250,000 on YouTube, and runs a restaurant in Notting Hill .
Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark was spotted leaving her London home with TikTok chef Thomas Straker
After a meal at Heston Blumenthal’s Dorchester and Dinner, he started making cooking videos in March 2020 when Covid struck and the opening of his restaurant was postponed.
His signature is blending ingredients into butter to create quirky flavors that can elevate everything from a piece of toast to a dinner party dish, and he is credited with starting the #ButterTok trend.
However, he became embroiled in controversy in September this year after posting photos of his team of all-white male chefs at his eponymous restaurant Strakers in Notting Hill.
Critics questioned why the lineup of Straker and his seven other chefs outside his trendy restaurant did not include women or ethnic minority kitchen staff, and he was accused of perpetuating the idea that top restaurants were “a white boys’ club” .
Today, Thomas looked casual in navy chinos, a gray sweater and a vest as he left the model’s home.
Olympia, as she is known, and Thomas appeared to be joking and laughing as they walked down the street together.
Last week, the royal family looked a bit somber during their solo outing in London.
Maria-Olympia looked somber as she dressed warmly for a stroll around Notting Hill, wearing a khaki jacket and an oversized cream scarf.
She completed the relaxed look with navy trousers and Adidas sneakers as she carried a shopping bag.
Maria-Olympia split from Peregrine, son and heir of the 4th Viscount Cowdray, in September after three years together, but they had not been seen together in public in the months before their break-up.
Meanwhile, Peregrine, whose family is said to have a fortune of £224 million and who has been dubbed Britain’s most eligible bachelor, was seen passionately kissing Sophie last week, just a month after her ex Joe Jonas filed for divorce.
The Game Of Thrones star, 27, also got cozy with the aristocrat, 29, at Stade de France ahead of the Rugby World Cup Final between New Zealand and South Africa on Saturday.

Sophie walked a few steps ahead of the aristocrat before taking to the pitch to unveil the World Cup trophy.
The new couple enjoyed a romantic smooch in public before saying goodbye in chauffeured cars and later being reunited at the city’s Stade de France.
According to The sun, an onlooker said: ‘They arrived together at the driver pick-up location outside the station. It looked like they had both come from London on the Eurostar.
‘They stood there for a few minutes and were chatting and laughing a lot.
‘He then took off his hat and leaned forward to give her a big kiss. After the kiss they broke up.’
Peregrine, who is the heir apparent to the 4th Viscount Cowdray and has a family worth £224million, has since only returned to his £5million spot at Chelsea.
The end of the relationship with Olympia came after a source said they were ‘growing apart’.
The only daughter of Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece and his wife, Marie-Chantal Miller, has “unfollowed” Perry on Instagram and deleted all traces of him from her account on the photo-sharing social media app.
Friends began whispering about the state of their relationship when property developer Perry was conspicuous by his absence from the Chelsea model’s 27th birthday party in July.

The couple vacationed together for three consecutive summers, but this year they went their separate ways.
The princess visited Italy and Greece with family and friends, including actress Poppy Delevingne, who is dating her brother Prince Constantine Alexios.
They were accompanied by Isabella Massenet, the girlfriend of her other brother, Prince Archi.
Perry, meanwhile, spent his summer with friends in Cow Neck, New York State, as well as in Spain with family.
He was also at the Burning Man festival in Nevada with a group of attractive young women.
