Princess Theodora of Greece wed her longtime love, Matthew Kumar, at the Athens Cathedral on Saturday in a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony. The wedding, delayed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of Theodora's father King Constantine II, saw the princess dazzling in a bespoke gown by Celia Kritharioti paired with the historic Cartier Khedive of Egypt tiara.
Princess Theodora of Greece has finally married her longtime partner in a lavish Athens cathedral ceremony that was delayed at least two times. Princess Theodora of Greece has finally wed her longtime love Matthew Kumar in a star-studded royal wedding more than four years after the couple first planned to walk down the aisle.
However, the wedding was canned due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Greece enforcing some of the strictest lockdown procedures in Europe. Despite the setbacks, the blushing bride dazzled on Saturday in a bespoke off-the-shoulder wedding gown from Greek designer Celia Kritharioti. As a member of the exiled Greek monarchy, Theodora was born in London and has her own career as a soap opera actress in Los Angeles.
In a statement, the couple told media they opted to hold the wedding in Greece to reflect the family’s “strong ties” to the country.
