Queen Camilla appeared to wipe away a tear during today's memorial service at St George's Chapel.

The Thanksgiving Service was being held for King Constantine of the Hellenes at Windsor Castle.


Constantine II, Head of the Royal House of Greece, reigned as the last King of the Hellenes from 1964 to 1973, and died in Athens last year at the age of 82.

King Charles, who was a second cousin of the late monarch, was unable to attend today's service while he continues to receive cancer treatment.

The King's wife looked elegant in a navy blue pinstripe blazer and skirt and a wide-brimmed hat for the ceremony.
