On September 27, 2024, Princess Theodora and Matthew Kumar hosted a pre-wedding reception on the eve of their wedding at the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens. Their party was attended by their friends and family, including Queen Anne-Marie, Crown Prince Pavlos, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal, Princess Maria-Olympia, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Alexia, Prince Philippos, and Princess Nina.
Princess Alexia of Greece was joined by her spouse, Carlos Javier Morales, and all four of their children: Arrietta, Anna-Maria, Carlos, and Amelia. Princess Alexia is the eldest child of King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie.
Princess Benedikte of Denmark, Queen Sofia of Spain, Infanta Elena, Infanta Cristina, Irene, and Miguel Urdangarin also attended the pre-wedding reception. The late King Constantine's daughter, Princess Theodora, is set to marry Matthew Kumar on Saturday, September 28, 2024. The religious wedding will take place at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens.
The white dress of Pss Theodora for this pre-wedding party is beautiful. The best is her smile. I am glad she is so happy. Pss Ninas dress is also very elegant and of the other RL. I am waiting with anticipation to see the Wedding gown. I wish them all the happiness they can handle.

Agreed.

Princess Theodora’s dress would be fine except for the huge bow in the back. Princess Alexia has such a beautiful family although her outfit seems a bit too much in color and style in my opinion. Princess Benedikte looks lovely and elegant as usual. I like the colors and pattern of her dress. Don’t like the ‘holes’ in Nina’s sleeves but the color of the dress is beautiful. Love Queen Sofia’s colorful necklace. Infanta Cristina’s outfit is nothing special. Looks like Infanta Elena is wearing a gorgeous shawl and it’s be nice to see more of it.
ReplyDeleteI like the gown, the skirt has some nice movement, but the large bow on the back of her gown, I dislike. Pss Bene looks lovely, very elegant, like her choice of jewelry. Queen Sofia also looks nice. Infanta Elena, looks very well groomed and elegant. The blue dress with the cut outs looks okay, but I saw a photo elsewhere and the sleeves ruin the overall look, they are huge!
ReplyDeletePrincess Alexia of Greece looks beautiful, as do her daughters, all wearing pretty ensembles.
Lovely family, all dressed so nicely.
ReplyDeletePurple must definitely be the color of the evening. Of course Princess Benedikte is a vision to behold and queen Sofia looks lovely as well. I have never seen Crown Princess Marie-Chantal look prettier in her black dress and to me this is the twenty-first century and black is not just for funerals anymore, thank goodness and I know some may differ and they are entitled to their opinions too as we all are!
ReplyDeleteJe pense que la robe de M-C est bleu marine, assortie aux costumes de ses fils, mais ce n'est pas très joyeux. Paloma
DeleteBenedikte et Sofia: quel chic. Ainsi que toutes les dames présentes. Belle famille que celle d’Alexia.
ReplyDeleteI usually find Princess Benedikte very stylish, but not this time, perhaps the picture?
ReplyDeleteIm glad to see Infanta Cristina, it seems that she is more out and about lately, she had a very rough years, decade a dare say and I'm glad she is in the open more, but I must admit her skirt seems to come directly from the 80's right? Or is only me?

No Luna..it isn't only you. But I agree that I am happy to see the Infanta enjoy herself again after a hellish few years.
DeleteTheodora is radiant.
ReplyDeleteThe children of Princess Alexia are all quite beautiful, especially the girls.
Princess Nina looks more elegant than I have ever seen her, certainly more successful than at her own pre-wedding festivities!
Wow! Alla ser så glada och lyckliga ut! Underbart festklädda. Blivande brudens klänning är
ReplyDeleteså snygg, perfekt längd och vacker design.
Wow! They all look so happy and full of joy! Lovely dressed! The bride to be her dress is
stunning, perfect length and beautiful design.

I like very much Theodora's dress, including the bow at the back; it is entire part of the design.
ReplyDeleteThese Ex-Royals throw these Prince and Princess Titles around like candy.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts too, Beth!
DeleteComme d'habitude, la princesse Benedikte est toujours très classe ; dommage de ne pas la voir de plein pied - Bon choix que ses boucles d'oreilles pendantes dont les couleurs reprennent en partie celles de sa tenue !
ReplyDeleteBig bow in the back makes that dress beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAva
Huge bow on her back is just too much but otherwise her dress fit’s fine
ReplyDeleteJe n'ai jamais aimé les gros noeuds sur les vêtements, ça fait paquet cadeau.
ReplyDeleteLa reine Anne-Marie a un très joli maquillage.
J'aime bien Alexia et ses filles avec des tenues assorties d'un beau violet, sauf la robe grise et blanche que je n'aime pas du tout.
Nina a toujours un style vestimentaire très particulier, souvent volumineux, pas à mon goût. Ce genre de tissu brillant avec des des fleurs découpées en relief est un peu démodé, ça se faisait dans les années 90.
J'espère que la belle Tatiana sera au mariage ! Paloma.
Queen Sophia wears a beautifull silk combination, crowned with a long string of pearls: stunning.
ReplyDeleteThere are some beautifull dresses, but why are the men not in matching suits?
I think the open collars too informal in combination with the ladies.
What joy to see the extended Greek royal family together. What a good looking family they are. I’m not fan of Crown Princess Marie-Chantal’s dress for this event. Queen Letizia wore an elegant black dress recently but his one is too dull ( there is a poster somewhere who might say nun like! 😂😂) I liked Princess Maria- Olympia’s dress from a distance but don’t like the neckline. Princess Alexia’s family look lovely and the Spanish Infantas, who tend to be casual not to say scruffy, are looking good too. Miguel and Irene Urdangarin have grown into very good looking young people. Can’t wait for the wedding photos.

DeleteCP Marie-Chantal's dress is not black but navy and the designer is Louis Vitton. I found this information on other sites.
Thanks for the info, Anon 07 16. You can tell I am not 'au fait' with designer outfits! I have now seen photos elsewhere. It's a super smart dress but I still think it's rather sombre for the occasion.
DeleteI've always been told that square necklines are only beautiful for extra thin ladies. Although the idea for the pre-wedding dress is not bad, the skirt of the dress looks beautiful, but the big bow is not a plus. The high block heels are not elegant with the dress and do not match the rest of her festive shoes. Block heels are fashion I know, but I prefer them with silver or golden sandals and not too high. Except for the outfits of Princess Benedikte, Queen Sofia and the make-up of former Queen Anne-Marie (she looks very happy and joyful), I cannot say the other ladies are well dressed. The dress code for men not to wear a tie I can understand for a country were it is probably still warm in the evening, but like somebody said the contrast with the ladies is a bit too big.
ReplyDeleteTheodora looks lovely and her dress is beautiful--a style that is very flattering for her. My one issue is the too big bow--make much smaller or ditch it altogether and her dress is perfect. Alexia looks marvelous in her fuchsia top although her skirt is a bit too long. Her daughters are gorgeous! The ladies of Anne Marie's generation are all beautifully dressed--elegant as well as comfortable. How wonderful to see Gustave and Carina in attendance--I saw them on another site. Can't wait for the pictures of the wedding!

I love that she added the bow! - she’s a bride, why not absolutely enjoy and have fun being the bride - in the lead up activities too. Does she love it? Does he love it? Done! All the best to this couple, and the families. - Grace
ReplyDeleteThey do look happy
