Funeral of former King Constantine: The list of blue bloods – 60 Greek guests

At 12.00 pm, on Monday January 16, the funeral service of the former King Constantine will be held in the Metropolitan Church of Athens.

Burial will follow in Tatoi.

From 06.00 am to 10.30 am before the ceremony, the body will be in the chapel of Agios Eleftherios.

A crowd of blue-blooded people is expected to attend the funeral of the former King as the guest list of crowned guests and members of royal families who will give “the present” is being completed until “the last minute”.

In particular, both the invitations sent by the family and the positive responses to them are numerous.

Earlier today, a trisayo was held in the presence of the former king’s family.

Spain

Most of the crowned people who will attend will reasonably come from the royal family of Spain with which Constantine Glyxburg had the closest blood ties as his sister is the Queen Mother Sophia.

Besides, the Queen Mother had rushed to Greece days ago as the former King’s health had deteriorated.

Based on the above, both King Philip VI and his wife Letitia will attend, while self-exiled King Juan Carlos I will also travel to Greece.

Also present will be his nieces, Elena Infanta, Duchess of Lugo and Cristina Infanta of Spain.

Denmark

The Queen of Denmark, Margarita II, who is Anna Maria’s sister, as well as her sister, Princess Benedicti, will give “the present” at the exodus.

Prince Frederik of Denmark, Constantine’s beloved nephew, will be with them.

Britain

Only the Princess Royal of the United Kingdom, Anne accompanied by her husband, will attend the funeral of the former King as King Charles will be in Scotland.

Also present will be the daughter of the Duke of Kent, whose grandmother was the Greek Princess Maria, daughter of Prince Nicholas.

Netherlands

The King of the Netherlands, William-Alexander, is still expected to attend the funeral.

Just like Konstantinos, so too Gulielmos Alexandros is a fan of sailing.

The royal family of the Netherlands has stated that when they come to Greece it is “like coming home” and even has a house close to that of Constantine in Porto-Heli.

In addition, Queen Maximi of the Netherlands is expected to attend, as well as the king’s mother, Princess Beatrice, who in fact canceled all her scheduled appearances in order to rush to Greece.

Sweden

King Gustavus XVI of Sweden, who has been baptized by Ygritte of Sweden, mother of Anna Maria, will also come to Athens, as well as Queen Silvia.

Monaco

The procession will also be attended by Albert of Monaco and his sister Carolina.

Luxembourg

From Luxembourg, “the present” will be given by Grand Duke Henry.

Norway

The heir to the throne of Norway Haakon Magnus, who has been baptized by Queen Margarita, sister of Anna Maria, will also come to Greece.

Romania

Prince Radu, husband of Margarita, who is the daughter of King Michael, is expected to represent the Romanian royal family.

Bulgaria

In our country, the former King Simeon II of Bulgaria is also expected to attend the funeral of Constantine.

Greek guests

The number of Greeks who have received an invitation to the funeral of the former King Constantine is increasing.

Specifically, of the 187 guests, at least 60 are Greek, among whom are politicians, classmates and family friends and close associates.

It is worth noting that the presence of heads of state also necessitates the upgraded representation of the Greek government in the exit procession, for reasons of protocol.

Thus, in addition to the Minister of Culture, the Deputy Prime Minister, Panagiotis Pikrammenos, will also be present.
