Paul was much-loved and respected. Had he had a longer life, it is quite possible that Greece would still be a monarchy, not the mess that it has turned into.
To commemorate the somber anniversary, the King's children gathered at Tatoi. Along with Queen Sofía of Spain, King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie and Princess Irene, were some of the late King Paul's grandchildren, among them the Prince of Asturias and his wife, the Duchess of Lugo and the Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal with their children. The office of HRH Crown Prince Alexander also announced his attendance, along with his wife Katherine and King Simeon of Bulgaria.
