Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece

Marie-Chantal Claire Miller (Greek: Μαρί Σαντάλ Μίλλερ; born 17 September 1968), is a member of the former Greek royal family and the extended Danish royal family. She is married to Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, son of King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, who was heir apparent to the Greek throne until the monarchy's abolition in 1973.
Marie-Chantal Miller was born in London, England, to Robert Warren Miller, an American-born British businessman, and his wife María Clara "Chantal" Pesantes Becerra, an Ecuadorian. She has an older sister, Pia, formerly married to Christopher Getty, and a younger sister, Alexandra, formerly married to Prince Alexander von Fürstenberg. She was baptized in the Catholic faith at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City by the Archbishop of New York, John Cardinal O'Connor, with Princess Donatella Missikoff Flick serving as her godmother.
Marie-Chantal was raised in Hong Kong where she attended The Peak School until she was 9 years old when she went to board at Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland. In 1982, she transferred to the Ecole Active Bilingue in Paris until her senior year which she took at The Masters School in New York. She interned with Andy Warhol while she was in high school. After graduating, she attended the Academy of Arts for one year. She began a degree in History of Art at New York University in 1993 but dropped out a year later after Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, proposed to her on a skiing holiday in Gstaad, Switzerland, at Christmas.
In 1994, Marie-Chantal became engaged to Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, son of the deposed King Constantine II and Queen Anne Marie. She converted from Catholicism to Greek Orthodoxy, taking the Greek name María on 22 May 1995 in a private Chrismation ceremony at St Paul's Chapel in New York.
Her engagement ring was a cabochon-cut sapphire and heart-shaped diamond ring. The wedding was planned by Lady Elizabeth Anson and Robert Isabell. Marie-Chantal wore a Valentino dress. The ceremony was held on 1 July 1995 at St Sophia's Cathedral in London. Attendees included many members of European royal families.
The couple live in London and have five children:
In 2000, Marie-Chantal founded the luxury childrenswear brand Marie-Chantal. The brand expanded with a store in London in 2018, and with a new line of fabrics for nursery's in 2022. She collaborated with Alice Naylor-Leyland on the 2024 housewares collection, and collaborated with Silver Cross on prams.
In 2019, she published the book Manners Begin at Breakfast: Modern etiquette for families. She is a trustee of the Royal Academy Trust and a board director of DFS Group Ltd.
Her husband's family is closely related to many European royal families, particularly the Spanish and Danish royal families. Marie-Chantal has been a guest at high-profile events such as the wedding of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Mary Donaldson (now King Frederik X and Queen Mary), the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III. She also attended the 2023 birthday of Christian, Crown Prince of Denmark.
Following the deposition of the Greek monarchy in 1973, the Greek Royal Family titles and styles are no longer legally recognised by the government of the Hellenic Republic. Marie-Chantal is also a Danish princess with the style of Highness.
