Princess Theodora and Matthew Kumar showed no signs of nerves as they finalised preparations ahead of their wedding in Athens on Saturday. 

The Greek princess, 41, and the US lawyer beamed and held hands as they left the Metropolitan Cathedral on Friday.

Theodora looked pretty in a linen dress, depicting a beach scene, as she clutched a bouquet of flowers in her other hand. 

The bride and groom-to-be were accompanied by Theodora's family members at the church, including her mother Queen Anne-Marie.
