Spanish, Danish Royals Gather in Athens for Nikolaos Wedding Celebration

Members of the Spanish and Danish royal families gathered in Athens to celebrate the wedding of Prince Nikolaos of Greece and shipping heiress Chrysí Vardinogianni. This event marks a significant moment for the former Greek royal family, which saw the abolition of the monarchy in 1974 and regained citizenship earlier this year. Nikolaos, who recently divorced Princess Tatiana after 14 years of marriage, tied the knot in a private ceremony attended by about 200 guests at the Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas Ragavas. The couple, both previously married, has kept their relationship private since their engagement. The pre-wedding festivities included a dinner with notable royal guests, including Queen Sofia of Spain and Princess Benedikte of Denmark, showcasing the interconnectedness of European royalty. The celebration highlights the enduring legacy of royal traditions despite the historical context of the Greek monarchy's dissolution.
