Prince Charles says royal wedding will be 'a very special day'

"This is a very important event and I believe that your visit could be a milestone in the bilateral relations of the two countries, especially today, when both countries are faced with many important challenges, and that is why I believe we need to further strengthen our cooperation", he added.

When asked about the upcoming royal wedding, Prince Charles told reporters: "It's absolutely marvellous". Finally, he too talked about his wish to have the opportunity to visit Athens again.

Charles then handed the Archbishop a family photo of himself and the Duchess of Cornwall before signing the visitors' book.

"Knowing that Greece, and so many Greeks, have been going through such a very hard time in recent years, I wanted to find a way - however small and inadequate - to help the young people of Greece achieve their full potential", the prince told Kathimerini daily.
