Crown Princess Marie-Chantal is married to Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, whose father King Constantine II is one of Prince William’s godparents. Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales is a godfather to Pavlos’ eldest son Prince Constantine Alexios.

King Charles III’s late father, Prince Philip, was Pavlos’ “Uncle Philip.” In a tribute following the Duke of Edinburgh’s death in 2021, the Greek Crown Prince wrote that Prince Philip had “been a very loved member of the extended Greek family and of course a strong connection for us to Britain where my brother Philippos was born and given his name by my parents.”

Both Marie-Chantal and Pavlos paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth after her passing last year. “HM Queen Elizabeth II was a remarkable person, a sovereign who led by example, who will for ever be admired for her ethical leadership and commitment to her nation and the commonwealth,” the Crown Prince penned. “HM was Colonel in Chief Of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, I am proud to have served in her regiment and will for ever be thankful. I also am so very thankful for the kindness HM gave to my parents and family in times of need. Let us now be thankful for her life and look forward to the future. God bless HM Queen Elizabeth II soul; Long live King Charles III.”

Meanwhile, Marie-Chantal wrote, “A sad day today on hearing that Her Majesty the Queen passed. May she Rest In Peace and I am sure the heavens have a special place for her. She taught us duty, honor, love and above all else courage. She ruled immaculately and was so loved. Thank you for your service and for showing my in-laws such kindness and love during their darkest days. 🖤.”

Marie-Chantal married Queen Anne-Marie and King Constantine’s eldest son in 1995. The mom of five is the founder of the childrenswear brand Marie-Chantal. In 2020, she admitted to Paper magazine that some from her “father-in-law’s kind of family weren’t too comfortable (with royals) working. I think going into the children’s business was so sweet and they saw there was nothing wrong with it. They saw that it was just me being healthy, doing something I like.”

The Crown Princess noted that she was “never exploiting the family or taking advantage.” “I was doing something that was complementary. We’ve built this wonderful relationship with my in-laws,” Marie-Chantal said. “There’s also a sense of reality. You have to get on and work and it’s ok to do that as long as you do it correctly. When you’re not offending or taking advantage. I would die if anyone thought I was taking advantage of that position.”
