    Theodora's nephew, Prince Achileas-Andreas, will support the couple through her royal nuptials. He is the brother of Princess Maria-Olympia and has followed in his aunt's footsteps as an actor who made his acting debut in the American soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

    Crown Prince Pavlos will also stand behind the American lawyer when he marries Princess Theodora. As Theodora's oldest brother, he is the current head of the former Greek royal family and was the heir to the throne from birth until the monarchy's abolition in 1973.
