Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark combined the Khedive of Egypt Tiara with a historic veil.
The unique lace veil has been in the family for over a century and was worn, among others, by four Queens.
It was Princess Margaret of Connaught who first wore the Carrackmoss lace veil for her wedding to the future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden. The veil features lilies, shamrock and meadowseet.
The next royal bride to wear it was Princess Margaret’s daughter Ingrid when she wed the future King Frederik V of Denmark in 1920. Ingrid’s daughter, Princess Anne-Marie, wore the veil in 1964 when she married King Constantine II of Greece. Another one of her daughters, the future Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, wore it to her 1967 wedding to Henri de Laborde de Monpezat.
Before Princess Theodora, the last royal bride to wear it was the future Queen Mary of Denmark, who wore it during her 2004 wedding to the future King Frederik X.
Princess Theodora is the youngest daughter of the late King Constantine II of Greece and Queen Anne-Marie. She married her fiance, Matthew Kumar, on 28 September 2024 in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens. Her brother, Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, walked her down the aisle.
