Mrs. Sofiain Greece, leaves us with a very different headline than her husband, Juan Carlos, celebrating his 86th birthday in Abu Dhabi. The queen emerita has traveled to Athens to attend the anniversary of the death of her brother Constantine, on January 10 of last year. The funeral of the Hellenic king became very media-worthy due to the photo of Felipe VI and Juan Carlos I: that kiss of the reunion between the two kings that became a historical image because it was unpublished.
One year later, Queen Sofia has returned to her native Greece to attend the Constantine memorial mass, which took place this Wednesday the 10th.. She has arrived accompanied by her sister, Irene. The religious service took place in the Church of the Holy Resurrection on the Tatoi Estate.
A discreet, intimate mass away from the spotlight. This has been the commemorative celebration for the first anniversary of Constantine's death. The widow, Anna Maria, her children, Pablo, Felipe, Alexia, Teodora and Nicolás, their respective consorts and the grandchildren of the deceased monarch, the entire family, have gathered at this service presided over by the Archbishop of Athens, Yeronymos, according to the Greek press.
After the mass, they met at the Blue Pine restaurant, in the Greek capital. A family and farewell lunch with the memory of Constantine present.
