On Monday, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia attended the funeral of Felipe's maternal uncle, King Constantine II of Greece, who passed away last week in Athens at the aged 82.
Constantine II reigned as the last King of Greece from 6 March 1964 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on 1 June 1973. He was the younger brother of Queen Sofia of Spain who travelled to Athens prior to his death after hearing Constantine's health had deteriorated. Today she was accompanied to the Cathedral of the Annunciation of Santa María in Athens for the funeral by her husband, King Juan Carlos, and daughters, Elena and Cristina.
The Spanish royal family were joined by monarchs and royalty from around Europe.

Queen Letizia looked sombre in all black and opted for a déjà vu debut.
She donned a coat dress with a silhouette we first saw in green for Prince Philip's Service of Thanksgiving. The piece is fashioned with a shawl collar and velvet trim at the wait and cuffs. The designer has not been identified.
She wore diamond drop earrings, and pinned to her chest was the 'joyas de pasar' pearl and diamond brooch.
Rounding off the look were Letizia's Giorgio Armani La Charnière Dorée Top Handle Bag and Prada Saffiano leather pointy toe pumps

Following the service, the mourners made their way to the Royal Cemetery of the Tatoi Palace for the burial ceremony.
Queen Letizia added her black Mango 'Batin' Wool-Blend Coat and swapped her Prada pumps for the comfort of her block heel suede boots which she debuted last night.
