Here’s some information about the wedding of Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece and Marie-Chantal Miller
Crown Prince Pavlos and Marie-Chantal became engaged in late 1994
The couple were married on 1 July 1995 at St Sophia’s Cathedral in London.
Marie-Chantal’s wedding dress was designed by Valentino.
Many members of royalty were present, most of whom, happened to be family members.
Quests included:
Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, King and Queen of Sweden, King and Queen of Spain, King and Queen of Jordan, Queens Ingrid and Margrethe II of Denmark as well as Princess Benedikte of Denmark.
Queen Ingrid of Denmark was the Groom’s maternal grandmother. Queen Sofia of Spain is the groom’s paternal aunt.
Marie-Chantal wore a tiara that belonged to her new mother-in -law, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece.
Marie-Chantal has worn the tiara occasionally since her wedding.
Some information about the tiara, courtesy of Tatler magazine:
“The origins of the pearl and diamond jewels, which started life as a corsage brooch, are not completely clear. It’s thought that they stem from the reign of Frederick the Great in Prussia, but the story really starts when the brooch made its way to Princess Louise of Prussia, Grand Duchess of Baden, around 1913. The Grand Duchess bequeathed her corsage to her daughter, Queen Victoria of Sweden, and it was eventually inherited by the future Queen Ingrid of Denmark.”
“It wasn’t until Queen Ingrid’s daughter, the then Princess Anne-Marie, was looking forward to her 18th birthday (and her wedding to King Constnatine of Greece in 1964) that the corsage was crafted into a tiara. Queen Ingrid gifted this new creation to Anne-Marie, just days after her 18th birthday.”
