Afterwards, the funeral service will be held at 12 noon in the Metropolis of Athens
In the chapel of Agios Eleftherios in the Metropolis, the body of the former King Constantine will lie from 06:00 to 10:00 on Monday.
According to information from SKAI, citizens who wish to do so will be able to go for these hours to the chapel next to the holy church in order to pay tribute to Constantine Glyxburg.
Afterwards, the funeral service will be held at 12:00 in the Metropolis of Athens. The former King’s body will then be taken to the Royal Tombs in Tatoi.
Crowds of blue-blooded people are expected to attend the former King’s funeral. Indicatively, both King Philip VI and his wife Letitia and self-exiled King Juan Carlos I will attend.
In Athens is already Vasilomitor Sophia, sister of Constantine Glyxburg, who had rushed to Greece days ago as the former King’s health had deteriorated.
The royal family of Spain also has the closest blood ties to the former King.
At the same time, the Queen of Denmark, Margarita II, who is the sister of Anna Maria, as well as the Prince of Denmark Frederik, favorite nephew of Constantine, will give “the present”.
According to what was reported from London by Thanasis Gavos, the representation of the British royal family at the funeral of the former King Constantine should be taken for granted.
A palace source, however, said no decision has yet been made on who will attend.
So far there has been no public statement of condolence and it is likely that King Charles has contacted the family of the late King Constantine privately, as they were second cousins.
Protocol dictates that King Charles only attends the funerals of heads of state, but a private visit is not out of the question, although this is considered difficult due to the security measures that would have to be in place and more time to prepare.
The funeral will probably be attended by both the royal Princess Anna, who was already in Cyprus in the last few days, as well as Prince Edward, Elizabeth’s youngest son.
In fact, it is not improbable that Crown Prince William will also move to Greece, as the former King Constantine was his godfather, while William has baptized one of his grandsons, Constantine – Alexios.
According to the report, at least 20 crowned or members of European royal families have been confirmed to attend the funeral.
