Exactly , Irene lived a quiet life and rarely attended Royal events outside of the Greek and Spanish RF .
A very moving and poignant photo of the 2 sisters in law!
Princess Sophie of Romania was in attendance, I have seen a photo. Since Irene and Sophie's father were cousins, seems the family ties were enough to bring her.

Don't think hats are much worn in Greece. At King Constantin'e funeral most ladies did not wear hats, except for a few foreign royals like Princess Beatrix, Queen Margrethe etc.

Greek ladies almost never wear hats except during summer near the sea or winter against cold. Hats are a protection tool but never a protocol accessory. Greek Orthodox ladies don't cover head in church, Russian Orthodox yes.
If there was a BRF representative, it would be in a private capacity. I see no rationale for private engagements to be in the Court Circular.
She mentions representatives of the BRF but none of the pics shows anyone from BRF. At least personnally I could not trace anyone. If someone finds thank you to share.
Might simply be an ambassador or government official
The Crown Princess is always smiling.
their words are very beautiful, I really like Prince Nikolaos's words, a beautiful tribute to his beloved aunt.The speeches by Prince Nikolaos and Prince Pavlos in memory of their aunt are now available for download from the website. They are in Greek, but Hola! magazine has translated its into Spanish, and Prince Nikolaos's words are truly beautiful.

These news about Princess Irene's will are still just rumors from the Spanish press, nothing has been officially revealed, and credible media in Spain haven't even mentioned it. But over time, it will become known who inherited Princess Irene's jewels and other belongings.Just saw this post saying that Irene Urdangarin was very attached to her great-aunt, with a photo of her teary-eyed, I didn't know they were close, specially with them living in different countries most of Irene's life. she looked heartbroken carrying what appears as her sash/order. According to the post, she will be the recipient of a large part of Princess Irene's inheritance - I was surpised by this as would have expected it to be shared by the great nieces/nephews equally.

In other pictures I also spotted the rest of the Urdangarin family, all visibly moved:
Unless they were smuggled in and out of some backdoor – which would be comically nonsensical – they clearly were not. And what a truly strange thing to lie about.
