With heavy hearts, we announce the sad news

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of King Charles’ uncle, Michel de Grece, at age 85, marking the end of an era in European royalty.

Michel de Grece, a historian and author, passed away in an Athens hospital on July 28, according to Ekathimerini. Funeral arrangements are yet to be announced.

Known as Prince Michael, he was the last living grandson of King George I of Greece and a first cousin of

the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, making him an uncle to King Charles III.

In 1965, he gave up his royal rights to marry artist Marina Karella, with whom he had two daughters and five grandchildren.

Michel chose to stay in Greece despite political upheavals. His work as a historian focused on Greek

history, the Ottoman Empire, and European royalty. His writings and personal anecdotes shared on Instagram have left a lasting legacy.

Michel’s empathy for King Charles and his dedication to his own family remain poignant reminders of his impactful life and work.
