Today, the King and Queen of Denmark will hold the first incoming state visit of his reign, welcoming the President of Iceland and her husband to Copenhagen.

This Saturday, we’ll finally get a glimpse of a royal bride we’ve been waiting to see for several years. Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark will marry her American fiancé in Athens, and to begin the celebrations, we’ve got a look today at the royal tiaras she’s worn in public so far–and the one I think she may wear this weekend on her wedding day.
