Princess Theodora of Greece is set to marry Matthew Kumar on Saturday at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens and her bridal party has been revealed.

The late King Constantine's daughter, 41, has chosen a set of royals closest to her to support her on her big day which will also feature an after-wedding dinner at the One&Only Aesthesis Hotel in Vouliagmeni area.

Theodora's bridesmaids and groomsmen will include Princess Maria-Olympia, Prince Achileas-Andreas, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Prince Philippos, as well as Arrietta Morales de Grecia.

Who are Theodora's bridesmaids?

Princess Maria-Olympia, 28, is the New York-born daughter of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal. She is the granddaughter of the late King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie, making her the niece of the bride.

Theodora's nephew, Prince Achileas-Andreas, will support the couple through her royal nuptials. He is the brother of Princess Maria-Olympia and has followed in his aunt's footsteps as an actor who made his acting debut in the American soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

Crown Prince Pavlos will also stand behind the American lawyer when he marries Princess Theodora. As Theodora's oldest brother, he is the current head of the former Greek royal family and was the heir to the throne from birth until the monarchy's abolition in 1973.

It is believed that Pavlos will walk Theodora down the aisle in the place of their father who sadly passed away last January.

Meanwhile, Prince Nikolaos, 54, and Prince Philippos, 38, are the younger brothers of the bride who will offer their support in the absence of their father.
