All eyes were on the latest addition to Crown Prince Pavlos' family on Saturday as baby Odysseas Kimon was christened at an Athens church.

The nine-month-old son of the Greek prince and his wife, Princess Marie-Chantal, was surrounded by a host of royal relatives for the momentous occasion, held at the monastery of Agios Ioannis of Kareas.

Odysseas' seven godparents are: Prince Philippos and Princess Olga of Greece, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, Princess Alexandra Sayn-Wittgenstein, Mr Nassos Thanopolous, Mr Chris Thomsen and Mr Arki Busson, businessman and longtime partner of supermodel Elle Macpherson.

The 38-year-old son of ex-King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie has three other children with wife Marie-Chantal. Princess Maria-Olympia was born in 1996, followed by Prince Constantine Alexios in 1998 and Prince Achileas Andreas in 2000.
