But it could very well be that some of the Morales children study/studied in Madrid. And Alexia was clearly close to her aunt - as she decided to stay with her in her final hours instead of attending her father's memorial service.

So soon. Here it usually takes time (usually about 2 years) at normal graves, because it needs to settle .

Its a year here , I noticed that the Cross has not been erected yet , maybe they will wait a year before that goes up?

No, King Constantine's tomb, I remember it was installed and finished in three months, including the cross. They're simple tombs, built directly into the ground on a concrete base. I've been following the videos of journalist Andreas Karagiannis, who published the image of the tombstone, and last week he published a imagen base into the ground of concrete , and this week they placed the tombstone. In Spain, marble tombs are also built quickly.

Ok that is maybe the difference. Here the coffin is lowered into the earth and there is nothing built into it. And later there is then a Gravestone erected, usually one standing at the end
