EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and historic photograph, Princess Theodora of Greece, the second child of Prince and Princess Andrew of Greece (Alice of Battenberg), is seen on her wedding day in 1931. Theodora, who was born in 1906, is dressed in a beautiful white wedding gown and veil as she stands next to her proud father. Her elder sister, Princess Margarita of Greece, later Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, is also present, wearing a stylish hat and a graceful gown. Theodora's groom, Prince Berthold of Baden, is not visible in the image, but his presence is implied as the bride's hand is seen resting on her father's arm. The wedding took place in Athens, Greece, and marked the marriage of the Greek princess to the Margrave of Baden, a German princely title. Princess Theodora's brother, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, later the Duke of Edinburgh, is not present in the photograph. However, his presence in the royal family tree is significant, as he would go on to marry Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in 1947. This photograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of royal weddings in the early 20th century, as well as the close relationships between members of European royal families. The image is a reminder of the rich history and complex connections that exist among the world's royal houses. The photograph is a valuable historical record, and is available for licensing through Mary Evans Picture Library. It is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of European royalty, weddings, and family dynamics.
