When Chrysi Vardinogianni married Prince Nikolaos of Greece, she did so in a famous Greek tiara.
Chrysi donned the diamond and pearl Antique Corsage Tiara, on loan from her new mother-in-law, Queen Anne-Marie.
The tiara was originally a pearl and diamond brooch from Baden that was passed down by Grand Duchess Louise to her daughter, Queen Victoria of Sweden. It was then inherited by Victoria’s granddaughter, Queen Ingrid of Denmark (born a Princess of Sweden). The Queen of Denmark had the brooch converted into a tiara for her youngest child’s 18th birthday and wedding. Anne-Marie received the new diadem from her mother, and it’s been in the Greek Royal Family ever since.

The tiara is a familiar sight at Greek royal weddings and has been worn by many royal brides before Chrysi – including Prince Nikolaos’s first wife, Tatiana.
Crown Princess Marie-Chantal and Princess Nina wore the tiara to their weddings to Crown Prince Pavlos and Prince Philippos, respectively.
The Antique Corsage Tiara has also been shared by Queen Anne-Marie with her daughters, Princess Alexia and Princess Theodora.
