Kimberly Guilfoyle, known for her high-profile media presence and ties to the president's family, initially sought a diplomatic posting to the Vatican but ultimately accepted the role of ambassador to Greece after the president rejected her initial request. Sources say her appointment to Greece was orchestrated behind the scenes by close allies, despite her not being on the original shortlist. Guilfoyle's outspoken persona was seen as a poor fit for the Vatican, a post typically reserved for seasoned diplomats with strong religious connections. Instead, she is set to take up her new role in Athens, a prestigious assignment with significant diplomatic visibility, and has expressed enthusiasm about her upcoming tenure.
