Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece, the goddaughter of King Charles, turned 30 on Saturday, July 25, and celebrated with a series of lavish events over the weekend, including multiple yacht parties and a family dinner.
Yacht celebrations and family gatherings
Olympia shared photos on Instagram showing a yacht party to kick off her birthday festivities. Her father, Crown Prince Pavlos, posted a picture of the model in a grey bikini with both parents, and another of her cutting a chocolate cake on the yacht with crystal blue water and white cliffs in the background. He captioned the photos: "Happy Birthday, dear Olympia, you are my sunshine."
In a video shared by her mother, Princess Marie-Chantal, Olympia’s brothers Achileas and Constantine Alexios were seen carrying a giant cake decorated with raspberries. Olympia blew out candles while guests including Norwegian singer Peter Dundas, photographer Alexia Mavrolleon, and longtime friend Evangeline sang happy birthday.
Boyfriend debut
On her own Instagram, Olympia posted clips of dancing under flashing lights, posing with friends, and karaoke. One clip showed her Argentinian businessman boyfriend, Martin Pacanowski, standing beside her. The couple were first linked in 2024, but this was the first time she posted him on social media.
Royal background
Olympia is the daughter of Crown Prince Pavlos and Princess Marie-Chantal, and goddaughter of King Charles. Though Greece no longer has a royal family after the 1974 referendum, Olympia and her family continue to use their titles. Her grandparents Constantine II and Anne-Marie were the last king and queen. Olympia was born in New York but grew up in London, and the family remains close to the British monarchy.
