Rest In Peace. I’m glad he could die in his own country, that must have been some comfort to him.

If Charles or William attends I will raise an eyebrow, after the mess with Queen Fabiola’s funeral. I will also raise an eyebrow if he sends the Wessexes as QE2 used to for European events. Basically, I’m expecting to at least mildly disapprove of anything the BRF does in regards to Constantine’s funeral, but I’m pretty fed up with all of the Windsors right now so I’m hard to please.

Especially sad that he didn't see his younger daughter, Theodora get married. I believe that the wedding was going to take place this coming summer, after several delays due to Covid.

I wonder if he will be buried at Tatoi, in the family graveyard?  His parents are buried there I believe.  Also his grandparents, and many other relations.

At the very least I expect some Kents to attend.  I think William and Catherine should, as he was his godfather.

RIP.  He had been in poor health the last few years even though he was not that old.  His sister Irene also didn't age well
Wasn't he William's godfather ? William might attend the funeral. If William goes, Charles probably won't go.

Queen Fabiola's funeral was definitely a bungle of the first order on the part of the British royal house.

He mentioned in an interview a few years back that he would like to write his memoirs, I would have been interested reading that. Poor guy. He and Annemarie would have celebrated their 60th next year.

So now all three of the Danish sisters are widows. I would bet that Anne-Marie will spend more time in Denmark to be with her sisters.

Here is a photo of the (then) Wales' on holiday with the Greeks and Spanish kings. Diana was also Philippos's godmother.

What a lovely photo! I've always thought Constantine was one of the best looking royals in his youth. That slightly uncomfy age gap aside, he and Anne-Marie were such a gorgeous couple. I hope their children and her sisters can be a rock for her, I cannot imagine how difficult life would be after one loses a companion of almost 60 years.

Also very frustrated that not even Constantine's death is immune from silly conspiracy theories. The poor man was in his 80s and had been in poor health for at least half a decade.

JC has no hope of defending himself against a kick like that

Their age gap is only 6 years. It is normal. Maybe the main factor is that they married so young. She was 18, he was 24.
