RIP King Constantine

Here’s a good group shot from the service. https://twitter.com/royal...;t=4z7ILSWYODX1TY7G2JZVGw

Does anyone know who the woman is seated at the extreme right of the second row (behind Princess Irene)? I can name everyone in the first four rows except for her.

Could it be Marie-Chantal's mother, or another inlaw?

The DM said it was MC's mother, but she doesn't look like her at all.  And why just her and not her husband as well?

And considering the young man next to her is Alexandra's son --maybe it's Princess Alexandra of Greece.

The young man sitting to the right of the "mystery woman" is the youngest son of Pavlos and Marie-Chantal, Aristidis-Stavros. And the woman herself looks nothing like Marie-Chantal's mother (unless she's had a total head transplant).

Since Constantine-Alexios was not present at the service, there was an empty seat in that row. Was the "mystery woman" some kind of seat filler? That would be weird since she would have been seated above Felipe of Spain!

Or Irene's attendant.

Pavlos' bushy mustache looks like two gray cotton balls under his nose.  And that silly goatee ... I just want to grab a razor & creme and shave his face.

A regular beard would like much better. His younger brother Phillipos has one and it looks good on him. Pavlos I agree looks a bit ridiculous.

Pavlos’ facial hair reminds me so much of Kenneth Branagh dressing up as Hercule Poirot.

Andrew’s prominence emphasises that it’s an unofficial event…

I hope so. OTOH I'd rather see him than his ginger nephew. But that's just me.

Me too.

More video of the BRF arriving. Of the people who walked Andrew was most senior so he and Fergie were leading. I can see the logic but it seems all wrong to have a disgraced family member at the front. It doesn’t feel right. Another reason William should have been there.

Andrew and Fergie.  No William (that personal reason had better be a good one).  I have no words.

Now we know 🌺. I felt there must have been a good reason, but for all the speculation I don’t think anyone guessed at news this bad.

No, this is bad news.

It was pretty obvious that England based William who had helicopters and everything at his disposal had a valid reason for not darting into London and back home for a one hour memorial service. I was suspecting something wrong with Charles, but this is obviously even more devestating.

Big Gems will take her medicine with a grimace but with grace.  I am sorry for Catherine, and what a nasty three months for the BRF.  I truly hope Easter will find them turning a corner.
