The affectionate kiss of Felipe VI to his father Juan Carlos I when saying goodbye in Athens

The funeral acts to bid farewell to the last king of the Hellenes, Constantine II, led to the reunion of the royal family: the Bourbons, all together in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens and at the burial, in the Tatoi estate. In this tribute, private, unofficial and without state honors, the coincidence of the two kings of Spain was avoided, spacing the arrivals and departures of both. The rundown of the seo act was measured so that that photo of Felipe VI and Juan Carlos I did not take place. However, there was a meeting and a hug. We have known it now, through some images that the Greek newspaper has obtained iefimerida and that have been broadcast by Star News.

The affectionate embrace took place at the Tatoi estate. There the burial of Constantine II was celebrated and there we saw the Queen Sofia, very emotional, holding onto the arm of her daughter-in-law Letizia. On the way to the cemetery, Don Felipe joined them. A few meters behind, helped by two assistants, he was walking Don Juan Carlos. The emeritus has shown some mobility problems and has used a cane at all times.

At the time of the meeting, the head of state hugs his father and gives him a very affectionate kiss. The emeritus king seems very moved by this gesture from his son, as reported in the newspaper and on television.
