Sofia and Anne Marie look great.

Is this Princess Theodora in orange? I didn't recognize her at first. Seegerpress
has nice photos of Philippos and Theodora.

I think Nikolaos' girlfriend Tatiana has attended public events before.

Odysseas Kimon, the 9-month-old fourth child of Constantine's son, Pavlos, was baptized Saturday at the Church of the Convent of St. John the Baptist. The service was attended by Queen Sophia of Spain, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway and Denmark's Princess Alexandra Sayn Wittgenstein.

Pavlos, 38, the eldest son of the former king, lives in London with his 36-year-old wife, Marie Chantal, the daughter of business tycoon Robert Miller.

Constantine fled Greece in 1967, shortly after a military coup. The monarchy was abolished by referendum after the dictatorship collapsed in 1974, and most former royal property was taken over by the state.

In 2003, the Council of Europe's Human Rights Court ended a decades-old legal battle and ordered Greece to pay Constantine $13 million for seized palaces, estates and property.

Theodora and Alexandra look very similar in the picture where they're standing next to each other. Theodora looks more alike Alexandra than Alexia.

Thanks for the pictures.

The black and white skirt Theodora wore to the christening is from the Gap. I wore it to my college graduation. I'm shocked...I never thought I'd have the same skirt as a royal!

MARIE-CHANTAL AND PAVLOS CELEBRATE ROYAL CHRISTENING

20 JUNE 2005

All eyes were on the latest addition to Crown Prince Pavlos' family on Saturday as baby Odysseas Kimon was christened at an Athens church.

The nine-month-old son of the Greek prince and his wife, Princess Marie-Chantal, was surrounded by a host of royal relatives for the momentous occasion, held at the monastery of Agios Ioannis of Kareas.

Odysseas' seven godparents are: Prince Philippos and Princess Olga of Greece, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, Princess Alexandra Sayn-Wittgenstein, Mr Nassos Thanopolous, Mr Chris Thomsen and Mr Arki Busson, businessman and longtime partner of supermodel Elle Macpherson.

The 38-year-old son of ex-King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie has three other children with wife Marie-Chantal. Princess Maria-Olympia was born in 1996, followed by Prince Constantine Alexios in 1998 and Prince Achileas Andreas in 2000.

Larzen, thanks for the photo of Mr. and Mrs. Miller!

 

[betina]

I surtainly didnt like MC dress. it was awfull

 

[Bubbette]

I think it's funny naming Arki Busson as a god parent when he can't be bothered himself to marry his children's mother!

 

[Bubbette]

Ok, what is M-O wearing? That puffy skirt looks silly.

Oh yes, Arki Busson =Elle Macpherason (sp) long time boyfriend. Well said Bubbette!!

 

[mybags]

mette marit looks astonishingly good... i really liked that dress. does wnyone know if it's also a valentino? she seems to be wearing valentino a lot in her last gala appearences.

I think it was Valentino. It reminds me very much of the dress that Princess Rosario of Bulgaria wore to the pre-wedding dinner of Felipe and Letizia last year. Since Mette-Marit and Rosario are such good friends, I'm sure they give each other fashion tips.

Mette-Marits evening dress is Prada

In most pictures Marie-Chantal looks like she had been jogging before the photo session. Her face looks washed up, her eyes looked tired and most of the times she is that woman standing by Odysseas' father .
And the dress - I wish to know what I could say .
At the evening party she looked.... herself!!! Glamourous and in charge of the situation.
As for the other attendants - they all seem very very nice. Queen Sophia -Glowing. Alexia and Husband so Well. And Mette-Marit stunning. Even Marius looked so fashionable with the black pants and white shirt.

Regards.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures, and the feature on M-M-dress.. Even Norways Se og Hör magazine was certain it was Valentino(!!).. but you got it right!!

This weeks Hola has a picture of the family at the evening party on the cover.

I don't think that I've ever seem MM look better!! Just beautiful.

Hi,
I have been a guest for some time and finally decided to join. This is is my first posting so I hope I am doing it right.

My question is where are Pia and Alexandra. Usually at least one of them shows up for big family events such as this. If they were there, they missed all of the photo opps. I wonder if Marie-Chantal, who seems to have a happy marriage and a successful business is starting to break out into her own.

 

[Bubbette]

Valencia--the QUESTION OF THE YEAR!

I think it's funny naming Arki Busson as a god parent when he can't be bothered himself to marry his children's mother!

Being a parent is different, separate and distinct from being a husband. Who says that Arki Busson isn't a good father to his and Elle MacPhereson's sons just because he and Elle are not married? Marriage is not for everyone; it is unfair to impose the institution of marriage on everybody as a norm or an expectation or requirement.

And let's face it: What kind of a role or how much of a role do you expect any of the godparents to play in the life of Odysseas or the godparents of Pavlos and Marie-Chantal's other children? When was the last time you saw a picture or read about Sweden's Victoria playing with Konstantin, to whom she is a godmother?

 

[Elinha]

It forgives my bad English
I have a doubt, is on one of the godfathers of the Odysseas, Arki Busson... says here that it is the boyfriend of the Elle MacPherson, but the name of the Elle's boyfriend, that I see in the sites, is Arpad Busson, and not Arki... will not be that you had confused... or I'm made a mistake?

I think the above link gives your answer. It's the same person. Arki is a nickname. Also, it says that he is into hedge fund managment. Isn't that the same thing that Prince Pavlos is in? I'm guessing either they work together or Arki helped Pavlos start his business.

Marie-Chantal and Arpad also went to the same Swiss boarding school as kids, so they could've have already known one another from then.

 

[agisele]

Btw. I like what Marie-Chantal wore to the christening, i thought that it was nice, casual and perfect for a summer's day.
Mette-Marit and her evening wear, definately a very positive change, she looked absolutely spectacular.
Marie-Chantal and her choice of the Valentino gown? Very nice in my opinion, but it looked as though she was showing a bit too much skin. But hey, that's just a personal preference.

I'm not sure but I belive that MC is very close with Elle Macpherson. She and Arki have two children together and were dating for many years until they announced their split just yesterday.
