@PEPPERONI Paul is the oldest son of the former King of Greece. The title of Crown Prince it's means that there is a succession to something. He maybe have the title of Prince Paul, but no Crown Prince. We haven't Crown Princes, we haven't Kings, we haven't monarchy and we are so much blessed about that
He is the Crown Prince and you have him, whether you want him or not. Pheraps if Greece had kept its monarchy its economy would be in a better situation.
I miss our gracious Majesty Queen Elizabeth so very much. Seeing her with her beloved Philip is so poignant. 💖🇬🇷 The crowd chanting "God bless the newlyweds" is very sweet.
If I remember correctly there was an unusual controversy about this wedding ceremony. Under British law weddings are only valid if they're conducted in English. The next day the bride and groom had a small civil ceremony in English to make their wedding legally valid. Even if you're married in London in front of the Queen, you're marriage is still invalid unless the priest uses English.

If I was behind that woman with the HUGE white hat, I would have quietly removed it. RIDICULOUS! But it was a lovely wedding. LOVED the bride's veil. It was nice to see the Queen, Prince Philip, and Charles in a setting where they weren't the center of attention. I'm sure it was enjoyable for them too. So nice to reminisce. Thanks for showing it.
I was just thinking that, dont think I have ever seen her, in such a pastel shade before, as she said she has to be seen, hence such bright colours usually. And didn't Charles look good
If you think about it, Prince Philip was in the Greek Royal family something like the Duke of Kent is in the British Royal family, if you look at the line of descent.
You actually don't need to think about it. The Prince Philip and his sisters were born prince and princesses of Greece, before the revolution and war that saw the monarchy deposed.

This is perhaps the only time I’ve ever seen Victor Emmanuel of Savoy near Queen Elizabeth II. I’m not so delighted ‘cause for me the rightful hear of King Humberto II was Amedeo Duke of Savoy. Amedeo, how is sadly death two years ago, was related to King Constantin because his mother was Princess Irene of Greece. Now Aimone the Duke of Savoy, his son, ( rightful head of the House of Savoy to me and many other ) is married with Princess Olga of Greece. I’m sure both Amedeo, Aimone and Olga were at this wedding.
@@maximhollandnederlandthene7640 on min 4:11 and on min 5:25 you can see Victor Emmanuel of Savoy standing two lines behind Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh. I remarked this fact because in every reunion made by the late Queen with royals and former royals, that branch of the Savoy family ( one of the oldest in Europe ) was never asked. For what concerns the dispute for the leadership of the House between Savoy and Savoy Aosta, if you were asking about that, it would be to long to explain here and I suggest you to google it, then I would be glad to give you supplementary explanations.
I didn't notice the presence of Victor Emanuelle until you pointed out. Thanks. Then I noticed the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, King Simeon of Bulgaria, King Michael of Roumania, Prince of Youguslavia and wife. I did not see anyone from the Aosta family but I guess they were represented somewhere. I'm not documented about the dispute of the Italien family but I think it has to do with the marriage of Victor Emanuelle to a commoner, Marina Doria. I believe nowadays every king or heir is married to a commoner thus making the dispute pointless.
Vittorio Emanuele è nato Principe di Napoli e lo sarà fino alla morte. Negare la legittimità del figlio perché la madre non è nata principessa è ridicolo.
I love the way the Queen looked sort of confused and disconnected both in the church and out on the curb, as the bride had to leave first. And speaking of Michael Kent, I never saw him at this, the Greek wedding. What a surprise...
Harold Windsor's provocative boast [ in his book 'Spare' ] of the number of his 'kills' in Afghanistan so increased the 'threat levels' against his father the new King, and his brother the Prince of Wales, that they were STRONGLY advised by the Foreign office, not to travel to Athens. Had they done so the increased danger to the innumerable Royals present would have been a MAJOR headache to the already embarrassed Greek authorities, and the amount of additional security/publicity would have completely eclipsed the obsequies for the late King. So the King sent his beloved sister, the Princess Royal to [discreetly] represent him, and Prince William asked his cousin, Lady Gabriella Kington to do the same for him. The Greek and British Royal families are incredibly 'close knit', and no doubt it a source of intense regret 'all round'.
Every time I saw Charles's face, I didn't see him like a cruel man who had many mistresses. He looks sooo conservative. Why so many people thought crazy thing on this mama's boy?
He is not a cruel man, he is a very sensitive and compassionate individual, and her isn’t a mother’s boy, either. As the years have passed he has become close to the Queen and she recognises his worth.
On that very same day, Stephanie of Monaco got married to one of her bodyguards. This wedding, celebrated in London, was the perfect excuse for everyone, who was someone, not to go to Monaco.
@@Peter-ov6xh The "trash Greek Gluckbergs"? Are you serious? The Greek Royal House is directly related to neRly every royal house in Europe, from the Romanovs in Russia, the Hohenzollerns of Germany, the Bourbons of Spain, the Windsors of Great Britain, and to the Royal Houses of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Do your research before commenting please.
A princesa Stefhanie não quis casamento com convidados estrangeiros e por isso não tinha ninguém dá realeza europeia ou mundial presente. e só foi a família real de Mônaco e os parentes de então noivo Daniel Ducruet,o principe Alberto II de Mônaco foi ao casamento de Pavlos da Grécia e Chantal,mas foi embora logo após a cerimônia em Londres pra assistir o casamento da irmã Stefhanie em Mônaco. Ainda bem que os Grimaldi não são de ficar puxando saco das outras casas reais europeias.
I remember when the King married the Danish Princess and they had to leave Greece. He was a very nice man fair and democratic in his thinking well educated. His children in spite of the difficulties well balanced and healthy. Will it be a private funeral ? They lived in London for many years. One documentary shows them visiting his house and garden in Greece that his family had purchased with their private money but was confiscated and abandoned by the government. Wild looking and returning to nature.
Yes it will be a private funeral. The Greek government has shown the usual bitter small-mindedness that all it predecessors have shown since the 1967 coup.
@@philism7829 Hello Philis. Lovely to hear from you. Many Greeks I have met over the years feel the same way, but for some strange reason *politicians* in Greece always regarded him as an active threat and treated him appallingly.
Its a petty Greek “tradition”from ancient times you know. Whoever served honourably their homeland they eventually faced exile and their property s confiscation.
If i was a King on the same level as Queen Elizabeth II, I'd find it hard to decide whether or not i should attend a wedding. On one hand I'd want to honour a family member on their special day but at the same time I'd worry that my presence would distract people from the wedding and divert attention away from the happy couple
Possibly it's was the liturgical rite being used. For example the ancient Melkite rite ,very similar to Greek rite,uses liturgy spoken in Aramaic and their wedding s involve the crowns being encircled either over the bridegroom & bride heads 3x,as was shown in this wedding. Part of the eastern orthodox traditions shared in various Christian expressions faiths, dating from earlier centuries. Thats a fairly streamlined explanation. 🤗
@@faraha2285 The research I have done indicates that there is consensus amongst scholars and experts etc that the language Jesus spoke was Aramaic which was common to Judea at the time. Although many believe Jesus was also multilingual.
does anyone know who the woman was who came with the Queen? she seems to be a member of the family. perhaps it was Prince Philip's sister Princess Sophie.
@@ericduffield524 I agree.The lady arriving with HM Queen Elizabeth II is Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark. Also interesting to see Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester next to HRH Prince Charles.
Why the priest is talking in Arabic at this ceremony??? Pavlos is Greek, right??? Marie Chantal is not Arabic origin??? At the end of the ceremony we heard some Greek.
Prince Philip was born 1901 before the monarchy was overthrown and he was the only boy in that family. But because his uncle looked after him he kept his British titles as well.
The lady who arrived with The Queen was Princess Sophie of Greece, the sister of Prince Philip. It was absolutely not Princess Alexandra, as erroneously stated elsewhere, as she was years younger and seated with her husband.
We all know that the father was not a king anymore as Greece abolished monarchy. The same Greece also let them use their titles until death. Therefore, the king has just died and his son is Crown Prince Paulos until death. Your opinion doesn’t matter. Facts do
@@annea5781 actually my opinion matters,since I am Greek and you are not. Nobody in Greece uses their titles,for ys they are simply civilians not royals. In Greece he is a former king, nothing more. By the way, watch your manners and the way you speak. Rudeness is not a nice thing
@@sebastianpatrikios7211 perhaps you don't live in Greece or you don't know much of the recent history. We mean them no harm but we don't want them in Greece,as royals anyway. When he was king,he wasn't a very successful one.

I didn't notice the presence of Victor Emanuelle until you pointed out. Thanks. Then I noticed the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, King Simeon of Bulgaria, King Michael of Roumania, Prince of Youguslavia and wife. I did not see anyone from the Aosta family but I guess they were represented somewhere. I'm not documented about the dispute of the Italien family but I think it has to do with the marriage of Victor Emanuelle to a commoner, Marina Doria. I believe nowadays every king or heir is married to a commoner thus making the dispute pointless.
A commoner related to one of Italy's mist prestigious historical family
Vittorio Emanuele è nato Principe di Napoli e lo sarà fino alla morte. Negare la legittimità del figlio perché la madre non è nata principessa è ridicolo.
I love the way the Queen looked sort of confused and disconnected both in the church and out on the curb, as the bride had to leave first.
And speaking of Michael Kent, I never saw him at this, the Greek wedding. What a surprise...
Prince Michael of Kent that the Queen walks past at 1:48?
He is there in the top left corner at 2:02.
Μεγαλος μερος των βασιλικων οικογενιων πλεον δυστιχως μετα απο 30 δεν υπαρχει 🇬🇷😔
The two families are obviously close so it beggar's belief why #KingCharles didn't attend the funeral of #KingConstantine
Harold Windsor's provocative boast [ in his book 'Spare' ] of the number of his 'kills' in Afghanistan so increased the 'threat levels' against his father the new King, and his brother the Prince of Wales, that they were STRONGLY advised by the Foreign office, not to travel to Athens.
Had they done so the increased danger to the innumerable Royals present would have been a MAJOR headache to the already embarrassed Greek authorities, and the amount of additional security/publicity would have completely eclipsed the obsequies for the late King.
So the King sent his beloved sister, the Princess Royal to [discreetly] represent him, and Prince William asked his cousin, Lady Gabriella Kington to do the same for him.
The Greek and British Royal families are incredibly 'close knit', and no doubt it a source of intense regret 'all round'.
I could see Queen Sofia of Spain standing close the altar
4:00 And that's the closest the "Crown Prince" and the "Crown Princess" will ever get to being crowned!
Every time I saw Charles's face, I didn't see him like a cruel man who had many mistresses. He looks sooo conservative. Why so many people thought crazy thing on this mama's boy?
He is not a cruel man, he is a very sensitive and compassionate individual, and her isn’t a mother’s boy, either. As the years have passed he has become close to the Queen and she recognises his worth.
Lovely
On that very same day, Stephanie of Monaco got married to one of her bodyguards. This wedding, celebrated in London, was the perfect excuse for everyone, who was someone, not to go to Monaco.
That cursed royal Monaco, a huge shame.
However bad she is, Stephanie can't be any trashier than the "Greek" Glücksburgs. At least she's a real princess.
@@Peter-ov6xh The "trash Greek Gluckbergs"? Are you serious? The Greek Royal House is directly related to neRly every royal house in Europe, from the Romanovs in Russia, the Hohenzollerns of Germany, the Bourbons of Spain, the Windsors of Great Britain, and to the Royal Houses of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Do your research before commenting please.
@MrWilhelm1950 There is no Greek Royal House. There is a Danish-descended family, some of whose members formerly reigned in Greece.
A princesa Stefhanie não quis casamento com convidados estrangeiros e por isso não tinha ninguém dá realeza europeia ou mundial presente. e só foi a família real de Mônaco e os parentes de então noivo Daniel Ducruet,o principe Alberto II de Mônaco foi ao casamento de Pavlos da Grécia e Chantal,mas foi embora logo após a cerimônia em Londres pra assistir o casamento da irmã Stefhanie em Mônaco. Ainda bem que os Grimaldi não são de ficar puxando saco das outras casas reais europeias.
I remember when the King married the Danish Princess and they had to leave Greece. He was a very nice man fair and democratic in his thinking well educated. His children in spite of the difficulties well balanced and healthy. Will it be a private funeral ? They lived in London for many years. One documentary shows them visiting his house and garden in Greece that his family had purchased with their private money but was confiscated and abandoned by the government. Wild looking and returning to nature.
Yes it will be a private funeral. The Greek government has shown the usual bitter small-mindedness that all it predecessors have shown since the 1967 coup.
@@steelcrown7130 I will fully agree with you, I am Greek and I feel ashamed on my Goverment's behalf...
@@philism7829 Hello Philis. Lovely to hear from you. Many Greeks I have met over the years feel the same way, but for some strange reason *politicians* in Greece always regarded him as an active threat and treated him appallingly.
Its a petty Greek “tradition”from ancient times you know. Whoever served honourably their homeland they eventually faced exile and their property s confiscation.
@@philism7829 I feel the same as a Greek.
Long live our King Paul II of Greece
@@Anthoni09845 we got 300 parasitic members of parliament and King Paul is the cure for them
Really interesting
If i was a King on the same level as Queen Elizabeth II, I'd find it hard to decide whether or not i should attend a wedding. On one hand I'd want to honour a family member on their special day but at the same time I'd worry that my presence would distract people from the wedding and divert attention away from the happy couple
Wonderful. Greeks sadly made a massive error in 1974. The country has progressively gone downhill since.
What was the bride’s name? Was sh also of the nobility?
The elect will attend the marriage supper of the Lamb!
Greek kings and queens omg! They are crowned like Byzantine emperors. It was a nice ceremony, I also follow Achilles of Greece.
I have a One big question why the Pope of the Church speaks Arabic 🤔 😮
When you giving those Elgin marbles back mate
Never with any luck.
Never!
If you want marbles back, then you can excavate some from Penteli Mountain...
Unless you mean the sculptures of Parthenon and not of Elgin's ...
Parthenon marbles not Elgin's!!!
That debate is irrelevant here as the Glücksburgs do not represent Greece. On the contrary, the Greek people rejected them.
Alle Glück diese Welt
WHy was the ceremony in Arabic???
I got goosebumps when they started speaking Arabic! Anyone who knows why they spoke in Arabic ?
Possibly it's was the liturgical rite being used. For example the ancient Melkite rite ,very similar to Greek rite,uses liturgy spoken in Aramaic and their wedding s involve the crowns being encircled either over the bridegroom & bride heads 3x,as was shown in this wedding. Part of the eastern orthodox traditions shared in various Christian expressions faiths, dating from earlier centuries. Thats a fairly streamlined explanation. 🤗
I believe Aramaic (not exactly Arabic) is the language Jesus spoke.
Arabic language but they are all Christians believe to Jesus Christ!
@@emmarich100 No it was Arabic! It was classic Arabic (fusha) thus understood by everyone with Arabic as their mother tongue!
@@faraha2285 The research I have done indicates that there is consensus amongst scholars and experts etc that the language Jesus spoke was Aramaic which was common to Judea at the time. Although many believe Jesus was also multilingual.
does anyone know who the woman was who came with the Queen? she seems to be a member of the family. perhaps it was Prince Philip's sister Princess Sophie.
It may be her lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey :)
I may have been Princess Sophie, I do not recognize her. She kissed and quick bobbed to the King. Lady Hussey would never be that informal.
@@ericduffield524 I agree.The lady arriving with HM Queen Elizabeth II is Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark. Also interesting to see Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester next to HRH Prince Charles.
@Helen Rossi. Prince Michael of Kent was there also. A true Family wedding 👪
Princess Alexandra
Why the priest is talking in Arabic at this ceremony???
Pavlos is Greek, right???
Marie Chantal is not Arabic origin??? At the end of the ceremony we heard some Greek.
What are they chanting in the background?
Beautiful
😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
Who was the older lady that entered behind\ immediately after the queen? Nobody bowed to her, so she is either not royal, or not senior enough.
Is the welthy Chántal's mother. She is not blueblood but she has a lot of money that the greek royals need.
Was the beginning arabic/Islamic? And why
Arabic is not islamic. There are Christian arabs
Why they used arabic for the congregation?
A part of the congregation was in Arabic for the Arab guests
@@miaf1993 i see. Thanks for the reply
How was he a crown prince if the monarchy was abolished?
Because he was born and given the title before the abolishment of the monarchy in 1973 and before their exile in 1967.
Well if he is royalty to Greece then is royalty to Denmark therefore could feasibly keep a title.
@@gemmaluescher-verseckas1243"A" title, maybe. But not the title of Crown Prince.
Prince Philip was born 1901 before the monarchy was overthrown and he was the only boy in that family. But because his uncle looked after him he kept his British titles as well.
Prince Philip was born in June 1921.@gemmaluescher-verseckas1243

Just a family Wedding
Was this wedding in Greece or England?
london. his other two sons got married in greece
نعم؟
Was that the lovely lady in waiting who was viciously accused of rasicm accompaning the Queen ?
The lady who arrived with The Queen was Princess Sophie of Greece, the sister of Prince Philip. It was absolutely not Princess Alexandra, as erroneously stated elsewhere, as she was years younger and seated with her husband.
Where was the church ?, I heard someone speak Arabic ?!
arabic? they were reading something in arabic
Greek orthodox
Where is the Princess of Wales? Disappointing.
The wedding was 1995 that was the year Charles and Diana got divorced.
@@littleannie390 Yes, I know. Just wished she was there.
@@littleannie390 no that’s not true they divorced a year later in 1996 but during this time they were separated but still attended events together
Was that arabic ?
How they cling to their position although it doesn’t exist anymore. No, he is not the crown prince of anything.
Well he got what he desired thats rthe main thing to come bac as a virus
Where's Princess Diana?
Why is the service in arabic ?
Paulos os not a crown prince,his father was not a king anymore
We all know that the father was not a king anymore as Greece abolished monarchy. The same Greece also let them use their titles until death. Therefore, the king has just died and his son is Crown Prince Paulos until death. Your opinion doesn’t matter. Facts do
@@annea5781 actually my opinion matters,since I am Greek and you are not. Nobody in Greece uses their titles,for ys they are simply civilians not royals. In Greece he is a former king, nothing more. By the way, watch your manners and the way you speak. Rudeness is not a nice thing
@@sebastianpatrikios7211 perhaps you don't live in Greece or you don't know much of the recent history. We mean them no harm but we don't want them in Greece,as royals anyway. When he was king,he wasn't a very successful one.
@@ΤανιαΧυτηρη Who is this "WE"? We have many opinions as Greeks, no one is saying they should be in Greece as royals, not even the former Kings family asked for that, so why the anger after all these years?

You ll be pleased to know that Greece HASN'T crown prince. We are a democracy of 21st century without monarchy and we ll never have monarchy again
Θεωρητική δημοκρατία πρακτικά δικτατορία!!!
Pleased . . . . why?
It's of absolutely no consequence
It explains why your country has deteriorated so fast.
Indeed your 'Republic' has made you the 'economic basket case of Europe', notorious for MASSIVE debt, runaway corruption and tax evasion amongst its politician's. and 'public servants'
NOTHING good can be said of 'modern Greece', except the Sun & the Sea.
Your ancient history, tho' is a magnificent legacy to the world.
Itsa pity that your current state is is in NO way comparable to that greatness.

Why is the priest speaking in arabic at some point?
is that dress like catherine middleton's ...... one wonders 🤣
In no way is like Catherine's....
Yawn
Domanda: perché un principe così bello sposa una ranocchia come questa? Semplice perché è un'ereditiera.
実家実家！🐱
No Diana ! No event! Not even Fergie.
Probably due to the royal protocol they weren't considered members of the a royal house and that's why they weren't invited....I guess their presence would be awkward, nevertheless I missed them too!!!
Of course, because Greece actually is a new Roman formation as England ,and it does not exist in ancient time ,not a single ,real map with Greece on it before 1820 ,but Rumalia ( Roma) .Greek nationality and history is hoax.
Well... If your mother tongue is English then you have to search a little about the etymology, at least of the 50% of the words you are using... You will find out that their origin is Greek.
Study also the Ancient History of Greece, and you will have a great benefit out of it. I promise you!
Now, regarding the Greek Nationality, few years ago a gene Identification took place and it was prooved that at least 95% of the Native Greek are the descentants of the ancient Greek.
SEARCH BEFORE SPEACH....
You are delusional!!!! Greece is the base of civilization!
Greece has always existed and it was 700-800 bc . Modern Greece was overtaken by the ottomans, but Greece is Greece. Don’t say that to a Greek person. You might not get home.
@@philism7829 well no such thing as Greece on any maps before 1830 in the whole world from any period of time .
So if you are " greek " you need to research that your new shaped nation actaully is a mixture of Roman's that do not exists in ancient times, it stole some of the language there and that is all ,stole Phonecian alphabet, Thracien history.
Also you need to resech that your "country " is actaully a British colony ,and that is way it has the British Oil company's flag as a national flag of Greece .
😂😂😂😂game over
@@depyk7989 ok then if it is how come there is not a single proven map with Greece on it before 1830 😂😂😂😂😂
So no one ever in human history had Greece on any map.?
Greek history is hoax .
They are all related to the British royal family and danish royals
Go back to the 18th century and they all have one common ancestor, King George i of England who was the king of Hanover and inherited the throne after his cousin , Queen Anne who was the last of the Stuart monarchs died.
what language is the priest speaking? 3.22
Arabic. But I don't know why.
I thought it sounded like Arabic
