#george ii of the hellenes

The new King Constantine I of the Hellenes after the assassination of his father, King George I. 

You can see his wife, Queen Sophie, in a black veil, and his two eldest sons, George and Alexander, on either side of the royal couple. 

Constantine was a first cousin of Nicholas II through the Danish line (and also a more distant cousin through Tsar Nicholas I), and Sophie was a first cousin of Alexandra Feodorovna through the British line. 

I love the subtle pop of color on the medals!
