• Obituary Constantine of Greece, the king who paid with the crown for his serious mistakes

  • Constantine Monarchy of Greece and its relationship with Spain: brother of Queen Sofía and one more in Zarzuela

King Juan Carlos I will travel to Athens over the weekend to attend the funeral of his brother-in-law, King Constantine of Greece.

Felipe VI also plans to attend the funeral, who has maintained his schedule for this week despite the death of his uncle, and the infantas Elena and Cristina.

The response for Constantine of Greece, who died last Tuesday in a private hospital in Athens, will reunite the emeritus Kings with their three children in public, a circumstance that has not occurred since January 2019, when they all met at the Funeral for the Infanta Pilar, sister of Don Juan Carlos.

Although since Zarzuela the presence of any member of the Royal Family has not been confirmed, the presence of Queen Sofía, who has been in Athens since January 5 accompanied by her sister, Princess Irene, and that of Don Felipe are assumed.

It is also likely that Doña Letizia will accompany her husband's family at this farewell.

The event, which will take place in the Orthodox cathedral of Athens, is expected to bring together numerous members of European royal houses.

Constantine was a prince of Denmark, so there will be members of that royal family, as well as some representative of the Windsors.
