The Instagram page of Princess Olympia of Greece and Denmark boasts razor-sharp fashion moments aplenty, which is unsurprising considering the royal attended her first couture show at the age of 11. (Valentino in Rome, in case you were wondering.)
From high-octane party 'fits to elegant regal ensembles, it seems that what Princess Olympia doesn't know about the art of It-girl dressing, frankly, isn't worth knowing.
"I used to love watching my mother getting ready and also my grandmother on my mom’s side. I was obsessed with clothing and trying on their things – there are so many pictures of me as a little girl wearing my mother’s high heels," she told H! Fashion during our cover shoot starring the princess.
Olympia is the eldest child of Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece. Her parents' wedding was attended by pretty much the entire British royal family, including the Queen.
She completed a degree at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study in Fashion Business and Marketing in 2019, and before that had the privilege of learning more about the fashion world when she interned at Christian Dior's Paris haute couture atelier.

Fashion, Tatler and Town & Country. Back in July 2022, royal-approved shoe brand Aquazzura announced the appointment of Princess Olympia as their new brand ambassador. The habitual front row guest and party circuit champion is often spotted clad in the most cutting-edge ensembles, carrying a slew of stylish accessories by the likes of Dior, Chanel and Celine.
The princess exudes sophistication during her royal appearances, favouring clean-line silhouettes, and yet she is versatile and entirely capable of raising the stakes with the help of her killer party wardrobe. In early 2025 she was announced as the first-ever Contributing Editor for the online luxury fashion retail platform Moda Operandi. "In the newly-created role, Olympia will be lending her unique point of view, curating a dedicated edit of her shopping picks, appearing in exclusive editorials, co-hosting events with global emerging and established designers, and working with Moda’s Editorial and Social teams on ad-hoc special projects," the brand explained in a statement.
Is Princess Olympia of Greece related to British Royals?
Yes, she is. Princess Olympia is a distant cousin of Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh. Both are descendants of King George I of Greece, making them part of the wider European royal family tree. So yes, she’s got serious blue blood on both sides - and the family resemblance isn’t just in the cheekbones.
Does Princess Olympia speak Greek?
Despite her royal Greek title, Olympia reportedly does not speak fluent Greek. She was born in New York and raised primarily in London, and her first languages are English and some French. But with that cosmopolitan upbringing and a royal passport, we’d argue she’s fluent in fashion diplomacy instead.
Where did Princess Olympia go to school?
Olympia studied at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York City, where she focused on fashion and photography. Before that, she attended boarding school in Switzerland and also studied at the Gallatin School at NYU. Basically, her education was as chic and international as her wardrobe.
