In 2009, she opened a clothing line in London but early this year, she went to Los Angeles to pursue a career in cinematography. The Princess has been touted to be Prince William’s perfect match. Just like him, Theodora comes from a distinguished European royal house and very familiar with the royal routine. She grew up around royalty and a perfect choice to be a future Queen Consort of Great Britain.
