Royals from the Danish and Spanish royal families also attended, as they are close family members of the Greek royals. Queen Anne-Marie’s sister, Princess Benedikte of Denmark attended with her children. The late King Constantine’s sisters, Queen Sofia of Spain and Princess Irene of Greece attended, as did Sofia’s daughter, Infanta Cristina of Spain.

The new Princess Chrysi’s children, George and Karen, were also in attendance.

Prince Nikolaos and Princess Chrysi married just months after the Prince’s divorce from Tatiana Blatnik (formerly Princess Tatiana) was finalised.
