There’s a chance that Queen Elizabeth will snag an invite to the nuptials. The 92-year-old British monarch was made Princess Theodora’s godmother in 1983.

The Greek monarchy was formally abolished in 1974, and Princess Theodora was raised in England before heading to the United States to pursue a career in acting. She’s been most visible on American screens in the beloved soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, portraying Alison Montgomery under the name “Theodora Greece.”
