EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Princess Theodora of Greece, the second-born daughter of Prince and Princess Andrew of Greece (Alice of Battenberg), is seen arm in arm with her fiancé, Berthold, Margrave of Baden, during their engagement announcement in 1931. The future princess, born in 1906, is the eldest of four sisters of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Theodora's elder sister, Princess Margarita of Greece, later Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1905-1981), stands to the left of the couple, her radiant smile reflecting the joyous occasion. The sisters' father, Prince Andrew of Greece, is on the far left, proudly watching over his daughters as they embark on their new journeys. Princess Theodora's engagement to Margrave Berthold marked a significant union between the Greek and German royal families. The couple married on October 21, 1931, in Athens, Greece, in a grand ceremony attended by numerous European royals. Their union lasted until Theodora's untimely death in 1969. Princess Margarita, born in 1905, went on to marry Prince Friedrich of Hohenlohe-Langenburg in 1931. Her marriage produced six children, and she remained a prominent figure in the German and European royal circles until her death in 1981. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of European royalty, showcasing the close bond between the sisters and their father, as well as the significance of their engagements and marriages to their respective royal houses.
