00:00 A right royal love in. Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice are joined by their husbands
00:15 in Greece as Diana and Prince Philip's godson Philippos marries his wife again in massive
00:20 Athens bash after two smaller private events.
00:27 Eugenie and Beatrice were among the high-profile guests at the lavish wedding of Prince Philippos
00:32 of Greece, the godson of Princess Diana and the Duke of Edinburgh, with Nina Flaher, the
00:37 daughter of a billionaire, in Athens today.
00:44 The prince, 35, who is the youngest child of the last king and queen of Greece, Constantine
00:50 II and Anne-Marie of Denmark, exchanged vows with Nina, daughter of Swiss businessman Thomas
00:55 Flaher, for the third time.
01:01 The couple first wed last December in a small civil ceremony in St. Moritz, Switzerland,
01:06 followed by a high society springtime celebration in Cambridgeshire.
01:14 While both were intimate affairs, indeed there were just the two fathers as witnesses at
01:18 the first, this third wedding at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens had all the makings of
01:23 a full-blown extravaganza.
01:30 Philippos and Nina had made the guestlist for the wedding of Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank
01:34 in 2018, while Nina is also good friends with Edoardo Mappelli-Mozzi, Princess Beatrice's
01:40 husband.
01:45 Eugenie opted for a black dress designed by Peter Pallado which featured gold button detailing,
01:50 and completed the look with a Gabriella Hirst clutch, Carvela heels and sunglasses.
01:58 Among the guestlist were King Constantine of Greece, Prince William's godfather, and
02:03 Queen Anne-Marie of Denmark, who still use their royal titles despite the abolition of
02:08 the Greek monarchy in 1973.
02:15 He has four siblings, including Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, 54, who shares five children
02:21 with the jet-set socialite Marie Chantal of Greece.
02:28 Their model daughter Princess Olympia, 25, and her dashing British beau Peregrine Pearson,
02:34 the wealthy heir to Cowdray Park, were also in attendance.
02:41 Other Brits who made the journey include Vogue writer Alice Naylor-Layland and her husband
02:45 Tom, who hosted Wedding No. 2 at their home of Stibbington House in Cambridge.
02:53 Alice was named as one of Tatler's Society Swans of 2018, while Tom is the son of Baronet
02:59 Sir Philip Naylor-Layland, part of a landowning dynasty which controls the 17th-century Talbot
03:05 Hotel in Malton, North Yorkshire.
03:12 Also part of their well-heeled set is magazine editor Violet Henderson and Princess Eugenie's
03:17 friend Caroline Rupert.
03:22 The Duke of Edinburgh's long-time carriage-driving companion Lady Penelope Natchville is the
03:26 groom's godmother and was expected to be among the guests.
03:34 Pompeo's well-connected family means there could be representatives from almost every
03:38 European monarchy at the ceremony.
03:44 His paternal aunt Queen Sophia of Spain, mother of the current King Felipe, were due to attend,
03:49 according to OLAW.
03:51 As well as Princess Elena of Spain, the groom's cousin and godmother.
03:59 Another godmother and the groom's maternal aunt, Princess Benedicte of Denmark, was invited,
04:04 as has godfather Kyriel, Prince of Presloff.
04:11 Margrethe II of Denmark, is also a maternal aunt, and she could attend alongside her son
04:16 Crown Prince Frederik and daughter-in-law Crown Princess Mary.
04:24 Although they're not directly related, royal protocol means King Willem-Alexander and Queen
04:29 Maxima of the Netherlands, Crown Princess Victoria and Crown Prince Daniel of Sweden,
04:34 and Crown Prince HÃ¥kan and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, were also expected at the cathedral
04:39 on Saturday.
04:44 Among the notable absences were godfather and cousin King Felipe of Spain and his wife,
04:49 Queen Sophia, who are otherwise engaged at the annual Asturias Awards.
04:57 Born in 1986 at St. Mary's Hospital in London, Filippos was raised in a 13-bedroom stately
05:03 house on the edge of Hampstead Heath where Princess Diana was a frequent visitor with
05:08 Prince William and Prince Harry.
05:14 He's known to be private and largely shuns the limelight, but he's made appearances at
05:18 numerous high-profile events such as the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden in 2010
05:24 and her sister Princess Madeline in 2013.
05:31 The Georgetown University graduate now works as a hedge fund analyst in New York, while
05:36 his future wife founded the non-profit marine research facility, the Bazaruto Center for
05:41 Scientific Studies (BCSS) in 2017.
05:49 She is the daughter of Swiss businessman Thomas Flaher, who founded private jet charter company
05:54 VistaJet, where she also works as a creative director.
06:01 The family is closely connected with the British royals as King Constantine is second cousins
06:05 with Prince Charles and Prince William's godfather.
06:08 The family is also a close friend of Prince William's.
