In the beginning of the video showing the arrival of King Constantine, notice that the two pageboys and a flower girl are wearing gold ribbons.

Nice Sofia and Benedikte, with a daughter each as companion, were able to attend their nephew's wedding. And Irene :flower3:

The bride is wearing the Greek antique corsage tiara. The tiara came with Anne Marie from Denmark (she got it for her 18th birthday) and was made from a corsage that belonged to her great-grandmother Queen Victoria of Sweden originally.

No surprise we see it.It has been worn by all three of the daughter in laws of Anne Marie and Constantine on their weddings.

It looks a fantastic wedding, a real mix of family, royal relatives from the Greek and Danish sides, and European friends including the Yorkies and husbands. A real get together and everyone very happy.

Touching that the bride wore such an historic tiara. Anne Marie married at a very young age, an exception even at that time. What a turbulent time she and Constantine have experienced during their lives together!

The two bridesmaids helping with the train were daughters of Nina's new sister in law Alexia, Anna and Amelia Morales.

I also notice Alice Naylor-Leyland's daughter Nancy was one of the little flower girls. Alice who works for Vogue, hosted their recent wedding dinner back in England at her husband's family home Stibbingdon house.

Thank you @TudorQueen  for the bridesmaid information.  I was wondering who they might be. I noticed that Ann Marie wore her  diamond cross necklace yesterday  which was worn for her own wedding at the same cathedral.

I admit I am always curious about the bridal parties at royal weddings. Dont know why.

I found out the last little bridesmaid (still don't know the page boys). Its Gene Getty, daughter of Sabine Getty. Sabine is a Swiss born jewelry designer (married to a grandson John Paul Getty Jr).

There were a number of impressive jewels on the royals. Including the cross, a number with special meaning for the day.

An interesting article on Princess Irene who is the daughter of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece. She's also the younger sister of King Constantine and Spain's Queen Sofia. This makes her the sister-in-law of former King Juan Carlos and Greece's Queen Anne Marie. Irene is the aunt and great-aunt to many in Denmark, Greece and Spain.  She is also a concert pianist and is interested in Eastern Philosophy.

QuotePrincess Irene was a studious and disciplined child and young adult, and one with considerable musical talent. She was a pupil of the concert pianist Gina Bachauer and would later perform as a professional concert pianist. She lived in Greece during the reigns of both her father and brother, which would last until 1973 when the monarchy was abolished. At that point, she followed her family into another exile in Rome.

I?ve always wondered why Irene never married though her siblings did. Frederike was always one for arranging royal marriages for her children. In Sofia?s case it was a very grand royal match indeed. There are various stories about Irene remaining single, but I?ve always favoured the unrequited love angle. Although she was her mother?s companion for many years I don?t believe she was a picked handmaiden, a la Victoria of Wales. She seems to have been reasonably content in more recent years however.
