Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, a member of the former Greek royal family, turns 28 years old today. She is a high-flying socialite who frequently graces the covers of glossy magazines.
The daughter of Prince Pavlos and Princess Marie-Chantal, Olympia was first introduced to the world of luxury fashion at a young age. She recalls carrying a designer Louis Vuitton handbag, on loan from her grandmother, to a family dinner when she was just 10 years old, feeling "chic and empowered" throughout the evening.
Olympia was recently hailed as the "world's most eligible single" in the December 2023 issue of Tatler, shortly after separating from aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. In March, she was spotted attending a London party with Argentinian businessman Martin Pacanowski, though it's unclear if they are dating.
Born in New York City, Olympia spent most of her childhood in the UK after her family relocated to London. She enjoys a close relationship with her parents and four younger brothers, and is closely connected to the British royal family, with King Charles as her godfather.
Olympia's passion for fashion has been evident from a young age. She attended her first couture show in Rome at the age of 11 and later interned at Christian Dior's Paris haute couture atelier when she was 17. After studying photography at Parsons and fashion business and marketing at The Gallatin School, Olympia launched a successful modeling career, working with brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors, and Net-A-Porter.
Today, Olympia continues to be a fixture in the fashion world, attending high-profile events and maintaining a strong social media presence. As she celebrates her 28th birthday, the Greek royal princess undoubtedly remains a captivating figure in the world of fashion and royalty.
