Princess Theodora of Greece weds in royal ceremony after four-year delay

·

Princess Theodora of Greece at last married her American fiancé, Matthew Kumar, in a splendid royal wedding.

After two prior delays, the 41-year-old princess exchanged vows with the 34-year-old Hollywood lawyer in a grand ceremony held at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens.

The historic venue also served as the site of her parents’ wedding, King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie, on September 18, 1964.

Princess Theodora was gracefully escorted down the aisle by her brother, Crown Prince Pavlos, as guests, including Queen Sofia of Spain, looked on. The princess dazzled in a stunning gown designed by Celia Kritharioti.

The Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony was officiated by His Eminence Metropolitan Dorotheos II of Syros.

Copious members of the royal family participated in the celebration, with Theodora’s brothers, Crown Prince Pavlos, 57, and Prince Phillipos, 38, serving as groomsmen. They were joined by Prince Achilleas-Andreas, the second son of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal.

For her bridal party, Theodora selected Princess Maria-Olympia, daughter of Pavlos and Marie-Chantal, along with Arrietta Morales de Grecia, the eldest daughter of Princess Alexia.

The wedding was originally scheduled for 2020 but was postponed first due to the pandemic. The couple then delayed their wedding for a second time following the death of Theodora’s father, King Constantine II, who passed away in January of 2023 at the age of 82.
