55-year-old Marie-Chantal, despite her enormous wealth and connections to the most powerful royal families, is proving today that she is more than the Millers’ daughter.
Golden heir to the Robert Warren Miller dynasty, wife of the late King Constantine’s eldest son Paul and mother of his five children, a dynamic businesswoman, author of children’s books and, above all, a sophisticated socialite who loves the arts, fashion and travel. And how could she not like to travel, because she herself lives in different parts of the world: London, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Paris and New York.

Marie-Chantal, whose family fortune is $2.8 billion, thanks to her wealthy father, who is known worldwide as the “King of the Free Market,” has billions of reasons to consistently enjoy one of the highest positions in the list of the richest women in Great Britain. After all, in recent years, she has clearly shown that in addition to enviable stocks, funds, fame and glory, she has also inherited the DNA of Miller’s business, as evidenced by her lucrative investments in the luxury children’s fashion segment. Together with her sisters, Princess Alexandra von Fristenberg and Pia Getty, they are known in the British tabloids as well as in high society circles, as the “Miller Sisters”.
Meet Prince Charming and the ultimate extravagance wedding
A blind date organized one night in New York by their mutual friends was enough for both Marie-Chantal and Pavlos to find love at first sight at the same time! “From the first moment I saw Pavlos, I knew he was the man I was going to marry,” Marie-Chantal confessed many years later in the pages of Vanity Fair.
It didn’t take long for them to propose, on the cable car in Gstaad, Switzerland in 1994 and six months later they got married in London. She wowed in a $225,000 Valentino wedding dress, which took 25 people to work on and took 4 months and 12 different types of lace to complete. Queen Elizabeth was among the 2,000 guests who attended the wedding. The cost of the reception amounted to 1.4 million dollars, while the 8-story cake stole impressions, except for the bride!
The couple got married on July 1, 1995 in a fancy ceremony at St. Sophia’s Cathedral in London.

Two nights before the wedding, Marie-Chantal’s parents threw a lavish reception for 1,300 guests. At the entrance to the Palladian palace in Butter Green, where the party was being held, gigantic draperies resembling the Parthenon were erected, decorated in blue and white, the national colors of Greece.
Four months after the wedding, Marie-Chantal became pregnant and in July 1996 they welcomed Maria Olympia. 4 sons followed: Constantine-Alexios, Achilles-Andreas, Odysseus-Simon, and finally Aristides-Stavros.
Marie-Chantal Kids – the powerhouse brand name in children’s fashion
In 2000, Marie-Chantal founded her own luxury children’s clothing brand, Marie-Chantal Kids. She herself mentioned in previous interviews “I’ve always had an underlying love of fashion, clothing and accessories. I’ve loved the merchandising aspect and I’m really into how to drive brand sales.”».
Romantic dresses in pastel colors and floral prints shine through in her children’s creations. In fact, in the midst of the quarantine, she decided to expand her brand beyond children’s fashion, with homewear and adult casual wear, while she wasn’t afraid to even use herself as a model, wearing the chain’s signature pink sweatshirt, complete with a logo. “Life is more comfortable.”
She herself shares the secrets of good manners through her book Etiquette Begins With Breakfast.

Ultra-luxury real estate in America and England
In recent years, Marie-Chantal and Pavlos have kept a mansion on New York’s Upper East Side as their permanent residence. However, they also have a few properties in Southampton, London (Chelsea), Bahamas, Cotswolds and Yorkshire. Especially since the value of the property in London today is about 2.5 million pounds sterling, while its decoration was modified by the famous interior designer Francois Catroux.
Celebrating 25 years of marriage: “I loved every second of our life together,” she wrote under the photo on her Instagram.
Family favorite vacation homes, the one in the Bahamas, the one in Yorkshire that sits on a secluded 32-acre getaway and of course the latest purchase, the ultra-luxury estate in Southampton in the Hamptons they paid $16.5 million for.
Although rumors followed the couple, long after the death of the previous King Constantine, that they would move permanently to Athens, this was not confirmed by either side, since Marie-Chantal or Pavlos could still leave their headquarters. Business.
