This article contains information on characters, places, items or events which take place in the Horrid Henry animated television series.

🔀 This is the page for Greta's TV series counterpart, click here for her book counterpart.

Not to be confused with Greasy Greta, as they both have the same name but different personalities.

Great Aunt Greta is Henry and Peter's very old great-aunt who thinks Henry is a girl called Henrietta and that Peter is a teenager. She sends Peter cool stuff made for teenagers (which he doesn't always like), and Henry stuff for toddlers (which he always hates). Given that she's in her senior years, she supposedly has very bad eyesight, and it's highly likely she has some form of dementia.

Tamsin Heatley voices her.

As a Background Character

Great Aunt Greta also makes several appearances as a background character:

Description

Great Aunt Greta has grey hair in a bun and pale skin. She wears a pink shirt with a white collar, a magenta skirt, grey earrings, and grey high heeled shoes.

As a younger woman, she had long blonde hair, quite a tall figure and a good taste in fashion.

Personality

In Series 1 and 2, she appears to be absent-minded. In "Horrid Henry's House Party", she believed that the back door was the fridge, that the supermarket didn't have broccoli, and she served Henry and Peter cat food. She also mistook a cardboard cut-out of Mutant Max for a supermarket employee. This indicates she is deaf and partially blind.

In Series 3 to 5, she appears to be more intelligent. She also can hear easily and seems to be able to see much better. Despite this, she still thinks Peter is a teenager and Henry is a girl. In Series 3, she shows her talents for yo-yo spinning and skipping. In Series 5, she knits Henry colourful jumpers.

When she was younger she seems to have been quite stylish like her sister. She and her sister were shown to be close.

Trivia

  • It is revealed that Great Aunt Greta is related to Henry and his family through blood as she was the younger sister of Grandma. However, it’s not known if she was related to Colin the Clown through blood or marriage, but it was most likely marriage due to Mum, Perfect Peter and Horrid Henry not recognising him, implying Colin is Greta’s husband's nephew. This would mean Greta was married, it's likely she is a widow as she still has contact with Colin.
  • She has a dislike on Bossy Bill in "Horrid Henry's Skipping Lesson" as he called her mad and Henry clearly hates him (which is why she called Bill a horrid boy).
  • As she attended a private school, it is possible that Greta's family were quite wealthy. She also seems to have been quite good at lacrosse and skipping, which she clearly enjoyed.
