Princess Olympia of Greece looked radiant in a blue silk gown as she took her place as a bridesmaid at the wedding of her aunt Princess Theodora.
The 28-year-old model – who is the daughter of Prince Pavlos and Princess Marie-Chantal – was one of five bridesmaids at the wedding of Princess Theodora of Greece and LA-based lawyer fiancé, Matthew Kumar.
They wore a matching deep blue, silk gown – which featured cap sleeves and an elegant scoop neckline, which all the bridesmaids pairs with different hairstyles.
Princess Olympia opted for a clean, slicked-back bun, and kept her make-up fresh and neutral for the royal wedding at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Athens.
And she paired her blue gown with silver heels, with matching silver jewellery.

Arriving at the Metropolitan Cathedral, Olympia quickly ran to her aunt’s aid before she entered the grand venue to finally exchange vows after a four-year delay.
The 28-year-old was seen adjusting Theodora’s Celia Kritharioti gown, making sure the bride was in a perfect state to be walking down the aisle on Saturday evening.
The couple’s wedding date – which was postponed twice – was said to be picked due to it being close to the wedding anniversary of Theodora’s parents, King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie, who were married on September 18, 1964, in Athens.
Initially, Princess Theodora and her fiancé, who announced their engagement in November 2018, were scheduled to wed on the Greek island of Spetses in 2020.
But the couple – who began dating in 2016 – were forced to put the May 26 event on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite not walking down the aisle on the day, Theodora still celebrated with her husband-to-be and she shared a snap of herself with Matthew on Instagram as they dined on Greek salad, olives, bread and cheese and shared a tipple.
As she posted the photo, the Princess wrote: ‘On what should have been our wedding weekend – the love and support from friends and family have been so appreciated. We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you in Greece once it’s safe.’
When the pandemic finally came to an end, Theodora and Matthew set another wedding date – ‘early summer’ in 2023, in Porto Heli, Greece.

However, just a month after the Greek Royal Household announced the second wedding date, actress Theodora’s father, King Constantine of Greece, passed away.
King Constantine, the last King of Greece who was exiled in 1973 when the monarchy was abolished, had five children; Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Philippos, Princess Alexia, Princess Theodora and Prince Nikolaos.
The exiled king died at the age of 82 in January 2023. As Theodora mourned her father, she postponed her wedding to Matthew for the second time.
The bride and groom were spotted side-by-side at the memorial service for King Constantine at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in February 2024, which saw royals from across Europe in attendance including Queen Camilla, King Felipe of Spain and Queen Letizia.

Two months after her father’s death, the princess posted a tribute to him on Instagram which read: ‘It’s been two months since you left us. Miss you everyday Papa. Love you.’
Hello! Greece previously reported the bride had planned to wear a gown designed by Celia Kritharioti – a dress she picked out ahead of the original wedding date in 2020.
Celia is Greece’s foremost fashion designer, whose elegant creations are worn by the likes of Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Taylor Swift.
She is the owner of the oldest Greek fashion house, which was established in Athens in 1906, and features at Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture and at London’s Harrods.
