Princess Irene: Funeral to be Held at Tatooi After Lying in State

The remains of Princess Irene have arrived in Athens from Spain for her final farewell. Queen Sofia, King Felipe, and Queen Letizia, along with their daughters, traveled to Athens to attend the funeral. The coffin was placed for public viewing at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, where the funeral service will be held. Princess Irene will then be buried at Tatooi, alongside her parents and brother. A first farewell was held in Spain, at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saints Andrew and Demetrius in Madrid, where a memorial service was held in a private setting, attended by members of the Spanish and Greek royal families. The news of Princess Irene's death comes at an emotionally charged time, as she passed away during the memorial service for the former King Constantine.
