European royalty gathered Monday in Athens, Greece for the funeral of former King Constantine II, who ruled just three years in the 1960s before being forced into exile. The military junta abolished the monarchy in 1973, with a referendum among the public a year later making it official.

Constantine II was a second cousin of Britain's King Charles III and godfather to Prince William. He lived most of his life abroad, but returned to his homeland in his latter years. He died last week at the age of 82.

Monday's service, officiated by the country's Archbishop, was private, to reflect Constantine's status as a former king.
