I don't see them moving in Greece either and actually, someone asked earlier in this thread (before the funeral) whether Pavlos and MC will ever visit the country again, now that Konstantinos is gone, and honestly my thought was "they'll never come gone, MC is done, only for super fancy summer holidays as they've done so far". The "reports" from Greek media I think it was a rumour - just to say something, in lack of saying anything else.

The family gave lunch right after the funeral but Felipe and Leti didn't attend, they left right after the ceremony in the cemetery.
Anne, the Belgians, CG and Syl and Albert left before dinner and the rest will leave the country tomorrow. Strange that there's no mention of Fred leaving today but, if I remember correctly, he has an engagement tomorrow back in Denmark.
lula thank you for all the pictuers, I hadn't seen anything from the cemetery.
AM looks being cut in thousands pieces. I really want to give her my condolences.

I heard the "lunch" turned into dinner and was delayed as everything over ran.

I have the slight impression they're Alexia's daughters - one of them wore a very short dress for a religious ceremony though. I suppose they weren't close at all with their maternal grandparents, IMO they were mostly detached, maybe even boring during the process - as as their spanish cousins.

Arrietta, Ana Maria and Amalia are Alexia´s daughters.
A lunch had been planned, but there was a delay of more than two hours at Tatoi, and lunch turned into dinner. That is why King Felipe and Queen Letizia, and other Heads of State did not return to the hotel and went directly to the airport. Probably due to security and airport schedules, the flights that were already scheduled for this afternoon could not be delayed.

Thank you Lula. My heart broke for Annemarie when she took the flag. She will get lots of support, I'm sure.

Whatever the politics surrounding this, one cannot deny that it was an amazing royal turnout for an obviously much loved family member and friend. His children, siblings and wife's siblings all looked devastated.... Anne did a great job representing UK and it was lovely to see her warmth when with the bereaved family. Did anyone spot Tatiana Fruchaud (Radziwill)? She's often around Sofia and Irene, hope she is ok...

I can't imagine Alexia's girls are detached or not close to their mother's parents. They seem to be a big and loving family. I can recall seeing Alexia's kids in Danish Christmas pictures and Greek summer pictures. The one is named for her maternal grandmother. Weren't they all baptized Orthodox? It must be weird when you are growing up a normal Spanish teenager but your cousin is your own king and your mother's family used to rule another country altogether. I'm sure they saw each other as much as possible given Constantine's mobility issues and his residence in London then Greece.
The graveside pictures I saw on IG too. My goodness the emotion really came out. I'm glad Anne Marie's sisters are there with her and I hope they can stay with her as long as possible which is surely not long in Marge's case but still.
I notice that a lot of the women including Anne Marie changed into booties for the Tatoi burial part. Perhaps it is more practical to be in the dirt and cold wind.

In the pic lula posted, with Anne Marie holding the flag, in the left we see Daisy in tears. I was surprised!
