Princess Theodora of Greece is finally set to wed her fiancé Matthew Kumar this autumn after their nuptials were postponed three times, according to reports.

The Greek royal, 40, who was born in London, began dating LA-based lawyer Matthew in 2016 and the couple were engaged in November 2018.

Initially, the couple were scheduled to tie the know on the Greek island of Spetses in 2020, however they put the wedding on hold when the coronavirus pandemic hit.

Since then, the couple have pushed back the big day on two more occasions, both due to Covid and the tragic loss of actress Theodora’s father, King Constantine of Greece, who died in January 2023.

However, Hello! Greece reported the Greek royal is finally due to walk down the aisle this autumn at a ceremony in Athens, a year and a half after her father’s death.

Matthew Kumar, 40, was born in southern California and was living in LA when he met Theodora, who plays secretary Alison Montgomery in The Bold and the Beautiful.

The couple were recently spotted attending a memorial service for King Constantine of Greece at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, which saw royals from across Europe in attendance including Queen Camilla and King Felipe and Queen Letizia.

King Constantine, the last King of Greece who was exiled in 1973 when the monarchy was abolished, had five children; Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Philippos, Princess Alexia, Princess Theodora and Prince Nikolaos.

The exiled king died at the age of 82 in January 2023. As Theodora mourned her father, she postponed her wedding to Matthew Kumar for the third time.

At the time of her engagement, Theodora announced the happy news on Instagram, saying: ‘Words can’t express our happiness and excitement. I can’t wait to marry this wonderful man. I love you, Matt.’

Her parents separately released a statement saying: ‘Their Majesties King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie are delighted to announce the engagement of their youngest daughter Theodora to Mr Matthew Kumar.

‘Further details about the forthcoming wedding will be provided in due course.

‘Mr Matthew Kumar, 34, was born and raised in Southern California to Sam and Lonnie Kumar. He is a practising attorney in Los Angeles.’

The first wedding date, May 26, 2020, was postponed when the coronavirus pandemic hit.

Despite not walking down the aisle on the day, Theodora still celebrated with her husband-to-be and she shared a snap of herself with Matthew on Instagram as they dined on Greek salad, olives, bread and cheese and shared a tipple.

As she posted the photo, the Princess wrote: ‘On what should have been our wedding weekend – the love and support from friends and family have been so appreciated.

‘We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you in Greece once it’s safe.’

When the pandemic finally came to an end, Theodora and Matthew set another wedding date – ‘early summer’ in 2023, in Porto Heli, Greece.

However, just a month after the Greek Royal Household announced the second wedding date, King Constantine passed away.

Two months after her father’s death, the princess posted a tribute to him on Instagram which read: ‘It’s been two months since you left us. Miss you everyday Papa. Love you.’

Although she will not have her father to walk her down the aisle, it is thought Theodora’s oldest brother Crown Prince Pavlos will perform the role of ‘giving away’ his younger sister.

Hello! Greece also reports the bride will wear a gown designed by Celia Kritharioti – a dress she picked out ahead of the original wedding date in 2020.
