In a post shared on her Instagram page, Theodora revealed that her wedding to American lawyer, Matthew Kumar, was due to take place in the last days of May. The princess wrote that ”on what should have been our wedding weekend – the love and support from friends and family have been so appreciated” and she added that she was looking forward to her big day taking place ”once it’s safe”.
The couple also shared a photo of them enjoying a private celebration with the bride giving a nod to her wedding date by dressing in white.
