#Last night my mom turned to me very serios and asked: #“Did you know the (former) king of Greece had died?” #and I said: “Yeah I heard about it. Did anyone from our royal family attend the funeral?” #and she went “I don’t know” so I searched for the funeral on YouTube and found it. #I was surprised to see Radu - Margareta’s husband - attend the funeral by himself. #not that it matters but #Constantine was Margareta’s uncle and her father’s - our late king’s - first cousin #anyway I was glad to see someone from ours attend #although Constantine did not have the best reputation while he was alive and rightfully so #the crowd went wild when Sofia of Spain arrived #our late king was her favorite cousin #or so they say #my entries

“I don’t like the Greeks one bit, but I thought Constantine’s memorial service in the UK was a way for Charles and William (his godson) to make up for not being able to travel to Greece for his funeral. I understand that Charles cannot attend, but it’s very shitty of William to pull out for “personal reasons” when he has the time to go to award shows. If he can’t show up to a two hour memorial service in his backyard due to personal reasons do you honestly think he’s ready to put his duty over such personal reasons? He will never be ready to be king.” - Submitted by Anonymous

“William accepted the responsibility of doing a reading at a memorial service and pulled out last minute. All he had to do was read. And it was in Windsor where he lives. He did not even bother to give a proper explanation. His ability to disappoint is incredible.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Empress Elisabeth of Austria and her Corfiot palace through the eyes of the Greek royals.

Greece was destined to offer the Empress Elisabeth the hospitality of its soil. She chose Greece as the country where she would hide herself and her sorrow. At Corfu she bought a site of ground from an old Corfiote Statesman called Braïla, and on it she built the Palace which she called "Achilleion", after her hero Achilles, whose statue was in the middle of the top garden terrace, and represented him at the hour of his death, drawing the arrow out of his heel. When in Corfu, it was understood, she was to be strictly incognito, and her wishes were always respected. One day, suddenly, when we least expected it, she arrived at Athens, having travelled by the ordinary steamer, and called at the Palace accompanied by a lady -in-waiting. She asked the porter whether she could see the King and Queen. On the porter's inquiring who she was, she replied she was "the Empress of Austria." Whereupon we were brought down to verify that statement . It seemed impossible╴but it was the Empress of Austria! Needless to say she obtained her interview, and after half an hour's conversation she took her departure, insisting that her visit should not be returned by my parents. As she was anxious to study Greek culture, she decided to learn modern Greek, and applied herself to the task with great energy and perseverance. She engaged a tutor for Greek conversation. Her first was Dr. Christomanos, an author and poet, who wrote a charming life of the Empress, which was translated into several languages. Her last was Count A. Mercati, who afterwards became Master of King Constantine's household. Accompanied by her tutor, the Empress used to go off on a five or six hours' walk, all over the island; and even for the picturesque ceremony of combing and brushing her hair the tutor had to be present, talking Greek to her all the time. She learnt to speak Greek quite faultlessly. In the arrangement of her house the Empress took great pride, setting up the statues of all her new "Gods"; Sophocles, Euripides, Plato and Aristotle. She also had a statue of Heine, the poet, erected in a shrine. When the Kaiser bought the Achilleion, he at once banished Heine, and raised Achilles from his recumbent position into a standing War Lord, with gilded helmet and shield, so that the first sight of Achilleion should be his glittering helmet. It is a pity that the Empress tried to improve the natural beauty of the spot. Her lack of taste, I may even ungraciously say her eccentricities, were almost an eyesore. There was a grotto of artificial rock and mirrors, destined as a home for monkeys, who luckily never came to inhabit it. Though the island abounded in oranges, she sent to Italy for her fruit. The view from the terrace over all the plain of Corfu, with its olive groves groups cypresses on one side and the sea and the mountains of Albania on the other one of the most exquisite I have ever seen.

The memoirs of His Royal Highness, Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark, My fifty years, 1926.

I was a child when the Empress came to Athens and saw her only once or twice, but I remember her more vividly than many people I knew far better. I imagine it was the same with everyone who came in contact with her. Her brilliant, beautiful and restless personality left an indelible impression. She was so enchanted with Greece that she decided to build a villa in Corfu. The site she chose could not have been more beautiful, about twelve miles outside the town, set on a high hill overlooking the sea on one side and a chain of mountains on the other. But she was too impatient even to look at the plans and gave the architect carte blanche. So instead of the simple cottage she had intended he erected an orate and hideous palace lavishly adorned with frescoes, statues and bronzes of every description. This atrocity cost the Austrian Govemment twelve million crowns, I believe. The Empress's life was dominated by the fear of losing her beauty. As she grew older it became an obsession. Hours were spent every moring brushing the glotious brown hair that she wore gathered into two great plaits coiled around her head. This hair-brushing was a matter of solemn ritual. Any hairs that fell out during the process were carefully collected and presented to the Empress on a silver salver. If their number proved to be too many the entire day was blackened to her. Once a captain of a Russian gunboat reported that he had seen a yacht coming into the Piraus harbour with a woman seated on the deck whose mass of hair reached down to the ground while two attendants stood behind her brushing it. " That could only be the Empress of Austria." said my father, when he heard the story. Later in the day a carriage drove up to the Palace and a mysterious visitor was announced, a lady who refused to give her name. It was, as we expected, the Empress Elizabeth. She insisted on preserving a strict incognito while she was in Greece, although it seemed rather unnecessary, since everyone knew who she was. She detested nothing so much as being photographed, or even looked at for that matter, and always carried a large fan with her on her walks, so that she could unfurl it and hide her face from the passers-by. The Empress was a fine woman in many respects, far finer, I think, than most of her biogtaphers have represented her. Intelligent, intuitive, sensitive, she had all the qualities to make a great empress. But she was tragically lacking in a sense of proportion. Even in the small issues of everyday life she had no idea of modera-tion. She could not take anything up without making it a mania. While she was in Corfu she set herself to learn Greek, although she had gone there to rest. Now Greek is a complicated language and its study is hardly to be recommended as a restful pursuit. The Empress certainly did not regard it as such either for herself or any one else, for she wore out her two teachers, Count Mercati and Mr. Christomanos. Every day she walked ten or twelve miles with one or the other, talking Greek all the way and, even during the hair-brushing ceremony, one of them was always present reading to her. Her figure became another obsession with her. Although she was exaggeratedly slender when she came to Greece (she weighed, I believe, only seven stones) no Hollywood film star could have followed out a more Spartan regime. Her constant dieting made her irritable and depressed. Even when she lunched with my mother and father she would often eat nothing but a salad and some fruit, and she would start off immediately afterwards on one of her exhausting walks, skimming over the ground like a restless, beautiful wraith.

What’s the katespiracy? If you don’t mind recapping

Alright so I don't follow the royals, nor am I on Twitter but from what I gather Kate Middleton has been in hiding cuz she had surgery. A Google search says that was in January and while recovery was expected to only take a few weeks, nobody has actually seen her still.

Her husband, the prince, even cancelled his attendance to his godfather's funeral recently (king Constantine 2 of Greece) which was kimdve also a big deal that made people go

Then mother's day (March 11 in the uk) she released this family portrait that had a bunch of weird errors.

And then someone else found out it was an OLD photo of Kate from a vogue cover (This is being debunked as I type it seems tho).

So now everyone is like.... Where the hell is Kate?

Was her surgery botched? Is she in a coma? Why would she need to post a pre-existing, shopped photo? Has she been using a body double?

And THEN Kate herself came out and said that she is the one who photoshopped it.

And that's bizarre in itself because the crown generally doesn't explain anything ever and let's people kinda assume what they want. They still haven't actually told anyone whether or not she recovered and why she's still hiding in the first place for example.

She also still hasn't been seen since January.

Link that explains it better than I do:
