dead King Constantine II of Greece

[heiheiheihei 104]

King Constantine II of Greece, king of Greece from 1964–1973. He turns 83 years old next year and has been seen using a wheelchair for a while now. He was in hospital in 2018 after having a stroke. And was in hospital with covid-19 in January this year. He did not attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II this year. I don't think he has much time left.

Already included on my shadow list

If the person who started the thread doesn't think he has much time left he'll live into his late nineties at least.

Which hospital was that, then?  We have more than one hospital here.

[Cerberus 302]

It was the hospital. Keep up now.

 

Connie is probably a decent bet from what I've heard - if he doesn't make the 50 next year a three-way race with Juan Carlos and Harald of Norway might be on.

Seems healthy enough. Survived COVID and pneumonia, all in the past two years. I can't find anything of him in a wheelchair but that could just be me...

Here he is in October (with an off-again on-again nasal cannula):

Covid and severe pneumonia and/or pulmonary edema. In addition he's had multiple strokes and heart attacks in the past including strokes in atleast 2011, 2016 and 2018

Give it time. The Tories still have about a year and a half-ish.

Wow. 
 

Could be another big miss for the main list. 

[Lafaucheuse 4,046]

Well that’s unexpected

[arghton 6,715]

His family has gathered at his bedside, with his children, who live in foreign countries, flying in to see him.

 His fourth/somethingth and last stroke likely.

[Superstar 295]

I actually question how Greece is gonna react to his death...

I don't know if Greeks are going to look at him in a positive or negative light.

[En Passant 3,741]

Candlelight.

A sign he's a goner.

Mostly don’t care or negative. Not that many old royalists left.  

[Murdoc 18]

Can't see him getting any Valentine's gifts

He is only on my list because being ‘Windsor the Troll’, the famous has-been who never was, I feel compelled to have a few Royals (manage to miss the Queen and Duke though).

 

What I mean to say is, he isn’t a massive miss really. 
 

Edit: if he dies 

[Sean 6,315]

So is he in hospital due to an acute stroke, a second bout of Covid or both?

[Lafaucheuse 4,046]

No News about him ? Was it just a little bit exagerated ? 

[drol 11,944]

If he survives this he goes straight on the immortals list.

Unlikely it’s exaggerated if European Royalty scrambled to his bedside.

You’re right, but boy does it take Time, I thought he would died in the night When I red the news two days ago

He could do a Prince Rainier, a hell of a royal stakeout in 2005 coinciding with Pope John Paul. 
 

Happy memories…
