It is the first time in a long time that the Spanish royal family did not meet in the same place
St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle was the scene of an emotional meeting of the royal families of Spain, Great Britain and Greece. After their visit to Valencia, Felipe VI and Letizia moved to London to attend the service in memory of King Constantine of Greece, brother of Queen Sofia, who died more than a year ago in Athens. Likewise, Juan Carlos I attended the ceremony.
The church service, originally scheduled for January in Westminster, was postponed due to the poor health of several members of the British Royal Family. The Chapel of Saint George, where significant events for the royal family have been held, was the place chosen for this tribute to the uncle of King Felipe VI.
The reunion has been relevant for Felipe VI's entourage, as it marked the first time since December that they coincided with Juan Carlos I, Queen Sofia and the Infantas Elena and Cristina, present at the tribute to the last Greek king. Inside the chapel, the Kings sat next to Juan Carlos I and other members of the Greek royal family. Critical Voices Report.
King Felipe VI accompanied his father when leaving the temple, a rare image in public. Doña Letizia wore a discreet dark blue dress, completing her outfit with elegant accessories, including pearl and diamond earrings.
The unofficial event brought together representatives of three royal houses, highlighting the special relationship between the Windsors and the Greek royal family. The presence of Prince Andrew of York added a curious nuance, this being a private tribute. The event has been a moment of remembrance and union between these royal houses, in honor of the legacy of King Constantine of Greece.
