Engagement of Princess Theodora of Greece and Matthew Kumar - November 16, 2018


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
With Christian off to Africa later this month. It will be interesting to see who gets picked to remain behind in Denmark during Theodora’s wedding. My guess would be Mary so both her aunts and cousin(s) can attend.

For Joachim it would be quite a long journey and he might have work obligations, so I’m not sure he can make it but to ask him to make the trip to Denmark so other family members can attend seems illogical.
I agree, it is probably Mary who stays back in Greece so Fred, Joachim, Margarethe and Benedikte can attend if they so choose to.
 
I don't recall Frederik or Joachim attending Philippos wedding a few years back.
We shall see.
 
Probably the invited will be the following

-The whole Greek royal family
-Queen Sofia of Spain plus Princess Irene
-Princess Benedikte or maybe her children
-any minor royal from other monarchies
-Queen Margrethe
-Crown Princess Margareta of Romania
-Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia

Infantas Cristina and Elena are definitely going to be there. Likewise, Princesses Nathalie and Alexandra, or at least one of them.

Why wouldn't her aunt and godmother Margrethe be invited?

I also expect Margarata of Romania, her father was Theodora's godfather and as he passed away, it seems likely that she represents him. Hopefully, also one of Queen Elizabeth's children (or grandchildren) will show up to represent her as she was also a godmother.

And of course, crown prince Alexander is expected as the other godparent that is still alive.

I'd like to see Prince William, the York sisters (or one of them), Peter or Zara attending...
 
Will King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia and King Frederik X and Queen Mary attend the wedding?

I doubt William will attend, he’s not close to her. I doubt Peter and Zara will attend either. The York girls could attend, but I highly doubt that either because Theodora is not in the same social circles as them.

I don’t think any minor royal from other monarchies or deposed royal families will be attending.

She may be distant and detached but a wedding is a gathering of relatives most bride and groom had little association with. When the parents are royals connected to everyone in Europe, I hope it will be planned as a big family event.
Yes, but Theodora is among the younger line of the family lives in America (Los Angeles) and is not really in the aristocratic, jet-setting upper class and royal circles like her brothers. Even Philippos who is in the above circles didn’t have that much of a grand attendance.
 
Any wedding preparations visible in Athens?
 
Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos were apparently personally invited to Princess Madeleine's wedding after they'd become friends while living in New York so maybe Madeleine and Chris will go.
 
The Greek Royal Family Facebook group has just published Princess Theodora's wedding invitation card.
 
Looking forward to this wedding!

It will be a bittersweet day for them all with Constantine missing. I’m assuming that Pavlos will escort Theodora down the aisle in place of his father.
 
Sasha Stamatis, the Greek journalist who published the invitation, also says that the Archbishop of Athens and all Greece, Ieronimos, will not officiate the wedding, because he is out of Athens at a conference at the time.
