Will it be the former King of Spain or the former King of Greece to go next?

Constantine didn’t even make the funeral despite having closer ties to the British Royal Family. So he is pretty likely to go first.

Didn't attend the coronation and it's said that last month a publicly announced lunch that he was going to have with Charles was quietly cancelled "last minute". 

 

Other royals who didn't attend the coronation include Norway's Harald (ill health), Denmark's Margrethe (ill health & recovering from surgery), Saudi Arabia's Salman (advanced dementia & other ill health), Kuwait's Nawaf (ill health - frequent hospitalisations abroad, rumored terminal stomach cancer) and Morocco's Mohammed VI (could be just protocol but known to have suffered from severe heart problems in the past and also rumored to suffer from cancer)

 

Actually I think the only non-UK octogenarian royals there were Beatrix, old Tsar Simeon and Kuwait's Crown Prince, all looked good for their ages.

Was he even invited ? I mean he’s persona non grata in Spain so I thought it was the same in other European monarchies.

The royals in Europe are all close, relatively anyway. Or so I've heard. Domestically perception is often different, especially with his scandals as of late.

I doubt it. Felipe and Letizia were there, and it was probably limited to two. A lot of people were left out, even family members.
