Early life and family

Karella was born in Athens on 17 July 1940 to Theodor Karella and Elly Chalikiopoulos.

Marriage

Karella married Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark at the Royal Palace in Athens on 7 February 1965. However, because this marriage is considered non-dynastic, she did not initially acquire thereby the title of 'Princess of Greece and Denmark' nor the style of 'Her Royal Highness', but was referred to as Marina, Consort of Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark.[2]

The couple has two daughters: Princess Alexandra (born 15 October 1968 in Athens) and Princess Olga of Greece (born 17 November 1971 in Athens).
