So sad 😢😢
ReplyDeleteHe had a sad life, away from his country for decades ,but also an extraordinary one. His decision to turn down Hitler saved thousands of lifes and shortened the war with 6 months. He has a life worth to be known so please if you have a chance to read about him and the royal family,do it. Not a very famous royal family these days but one full with extraordinary figures like queen Mary who was a key figure in the first world war in Romania for example.
ReplyDeleteHis family looks devastated.
ReplyDeleteTruly a sad moment but looks like a beautiful end to a sad life. Commenting on clothes at a funeral does not feel right, but I have to say that Queen Silvia looks amazing in her soft hair style.
ReplyDeleteI find the last photo heartwarming, with so many people lining the streets to honour the monarch. I like that the family made it a public event and included the people, instead of holding a private service behind closed doors. You can tell that the people care about their last king - that´s not the case in every monarchy-turned-republic. My condolences to Romania.
