Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece Celebrates 56th Birthday

Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, wife of Crown Prince Pavlos and a prominent figure in Greek royal circles, celebrates her 56th birthday today.

Born in London to billionaire Robert Miller, founder of Duty Free Shopping, Marie-Chantal's connection to Greece began with her marriage to Prince Pavlos, heir to the Greek throne. The couple’s 1995 wedding brought together European royals in a grand celebration, marking the largest royal gathering in London since 1946.

Though Greece no longer has an official monarchy, Marie-Chantal and her family continue to carry their royal titles and maintain a significant presence in European high society. They are closely tied to the British royals, with King Constantine, Pavlos' father, serving as godfather to Prince William. While the family does not hold official duties in Greece, they are still deeply connected to the country’s royal legacy.

Marie-Chantal has also made her mark as a fashion entrepreneur. In 2000, she launched her luxury childrenswear brand, which has been embraced by celebrities and royals, including Kate Middleton.

Marie-Chantal has long been associated with the rich and famous; before marrying into royalty, she worked for Andy Warhol

The family splits their time between homes in New York, London, and other luxurious retreats, but Greece remains central to their identity as they uphold their royal heritage.
