Prince Michael of Greece died at a hospital in Athens on 28 July 2024, at the age of 85. Prince Michael was a Greek historian, author, and member of the Greek royal family. His funeral was held on 1 August 2024 at the Church of Saint Theodore in the First Cemetery of Athens, followed by burial in the Tatoi Royal Cemetery.
Queen Sofia of Spain, Greece's Queen Anne-Marie, Princess Irene, Crown Prince Pavlos, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal, Princess Olga Isabelle, Princess Theodora, Princess Alexandra, Prince Philippos, and Prince Nikolaos attended the funeral service of Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark at the Church of Saint Theodore. Prince Michael was the grandson of King George I of Greece and first cousin of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
May HRH Prince Michael’s memory be eternal! It looks like HRH Princess Theodora was at the funeral too.

Olga era così bella, ma quei capelli bianchi legati dietro e la postura poco elegante la fanno sembrare più grande di sua madre.
ReplyDeleteInvecchiare bene si, ma non troppo in fretta. Suo marito Aimone Savoia-Aosta sempre uguale, un bell’uomo.
Rossella 🖤
Rest In Peace.
ReplyDeleteQueen Anne Marie looks wonderful, love the addition of her double pearl necklace and earrings.
ReplyDeleteJ'admire la dame en robe blanche et noire sur la photo 7, elle est particulièrement élégante : sa tenue, ses accessoires et aussi son attitude. Grande classe et dignité. Paloma.
ReplyDeleteÈ la figlia Alexandra, sorella di Olga.

Hello polama.
DeleteThe lady you refer to is Prince Michael's wife, Marina Kerella.
They were married for almost 60 years.
They have 2 children, Proncess Alexandra and Princess Olga.
Rosselle, merci. Mais elle est plutôt la fille de Marina.
DeleteOeufs morts, non, Marina n'est pas en robe, elle porte un costume blanc.
Paloma.
May Prince Michael rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteAll mourners wore classic black.
The Prince’s wife of 59 years, Marina Karella and one or two other women wore 100% white ensembles.
Maybe Helen could come up with the photo.
A photo of Marina Karella appears in Photo N°9

DeleteWearing white at a funeral is not unusual. I remember when King Baudouin died, his widow Queen Fabiola wore also a white outfit at his funeral. A lot of people found that not done but afterwards it has been explained it had something to do with her beliefs and it was said that white is the color of "Hope".
White also represent eternity, and is used all over the world in funerals.
DeleteQueen Sofia (1st picture) must have problems with her feet/legs too. She is wearing thick black tights and black espadrilles. Normally she is always dressed appropriately, but this time she doesn't wear natural transparant tights or black transparent tights, but thick ones. The espadrilles are not looking good for a funeral.
ReplyDeleteHer Majesty was going to bury her cousin at Tatoi, walking on a dirt road to the Prince's entombment, and you talk of her shoes and what is appropriate? Really.
DeleteYou are talking about other participants to the funeral too. I just said that it is not the normal way she dresses and I wonder if she had problems with her feet ? That's all.
DeleteServices low key but regal and elegant, just like HRH.
ReplyDeleteTogether to remember a remarkable man. Q Sofia is a very busy lady, sadly to see Pss Irene in a Wheelchair. Pss Nina was not with the family. css
