The Crown Prince of Denmark's Wedding: HRH Princess Theodora

It's a new princess for the blog, everybody!  This is Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark, the younger daughter of King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece.  She's a Brown-educated actress who, at last check, was trying to make her way in Hollywood.  Kind of like a Grace Kelly in reverse, I suppose!

Theodora's wearing an honest-to-goodness heirloom piece to her cousin's wedding: the Antique Corsage Tiara, which is composed of royal jewelry pieces that have traveled from Sweden to Denmark to Greece.  The diamond-and-pearl floral piece that makes up the main part of the tiara was originally a set of brooches (which could also be worn as a stomacher) owned by Queen Victoria of Sweden, wife of King Gustaf V.

From Victoria, the brooches were passed down to her granddaughter, Princess Ingrid, who married the Danish crown prince and became Queen Ingrid of Denmark.  She had the brooches reworked into their current tiara form, and gave them to her youngest daughter, Anne-Marie.

This photo doesn't do the tiara justice -- it's a really gorgeous floral tiara, studded with pearls.  Lovely!  Perhaps we'll see this one again at the upcoming wedding of Theodora's older brother, Nikolaos...

    This young lady looks extremely glam nowadays - she was at her dad's birthday party looking very blonde indeed.

    I can't quite decide what to make of this ensemble - I'm guessing that some of it is wrap, and it's a lot of red...

    maggie, she IS very blonde ;) Theodora is like the embodiment of a Scandinavian woman, at times quite scary. She's like 1,80 m (little less than 6'), blond and like woah. (Yeah, I like her, sue me :P )

    She also is either particular to red or she an Alexia had a discussion about what they'd wear prior to Konstantin's birthday and this is a coincidence.

    What was she, 22 at the time iirc? Mhm. This will be entertaining the next few years, Anna-Maria has to go husband shopping now and I think the only real crown prince left is Guillaume.... On the other hand, maybe Theodora got away quick enough now that she's in Hollywood, I'm actually looking forward seeing her in a production or two.

    From what I can see, the tiara looks very nice indeed. But there's too much red here. It's like the bride of Satan.
