Tribute to King Constantine of Greece. in the pictures, the crowned heads of Europe gathered at Windsor

Crowned heads gathered around St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle this Monday, February 27. A year after the death of King Constantine II of Greece, the last tribute was paid to him, led by the Dean of Windsor, Rev Dr Christopher Coxworth. The last king of the Hellenes died on January 10, 2023, aged 82, leaving behind his wife Anna-Marie of Denmark and children Alexia (age 58), Paul (age 56), Nicholas (age 54). old). ), Theodora (age 40) and Philip from Greece (age 37). Everyone was present at the ceremony. His sisters, Queen Sophie of Spain, formerly Sophie of Greece, and Princess Irena also paid tribute to their brother. With them, King Felipe VI of Spain and his wife, Queen Letizia, accompanied by their daughters Elena and Cristina.

If such a tribute took place in Windsor, surrounded by so many representatives, it is because the royal families of Spain, Greece and the United Kingdom are extremely close. Prince Philip was indeed a Prince of Greece before he married Elizabeth II. He was the grandson of King George I of the Hellenes. Greece is also very dear to the heart of King Charles III, who has never hidden his love for the land of his ancestors. So apart from her absence, of course, due to her cancer announcement in early February, Queen Camilla honored this tribute.

The new sovereign’s wife appeared alongside many members of the British royal family, including Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, who also made the trip. Several photos were revealed in the first row of the latter event. Dressed in an elegant gray suit, the former wife of the Duke of York appears at the head of the Firma procession. Behind her is daughter Beatrice, but also Zara, daughter of Princess Anne and her husband Mike Tyndall. Eventually, other royal heads of other countries honored the tributes accorded to their peers. We saw Prince Alexander III of Serbia and his wife Catherine, as well as Queen Noor of Jordan.
