@Matthijs1808: Hey, thanks for your contributions to this article! Hopefully we can expand it together as we get more information on the funerals, its guests and more worldwide reactions. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 08:50, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you for fixing my less handy Wikipedia work whenever i might make it look a bit messy, im keeping an eye on twitter also to see if more Royal families comment, we also have no official statement from the Greek royal family or announcement of his death. Matthijs1808 (talk) 08:56, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Thanks for anything that you do for me. Yes, me too... Hopefully we will hear something from them soon. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 08:57, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So i tried to find a picture of the hospital to add to the article sadly Wiki commons has none and i have no good idea how to add one. Matthijs1808 (talk) 09:01, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would be handy if we had one. Sadly I'm not in Greece, so I can't take a photo myself, haha! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:07, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

same issue here haha Matthijs1808 (talk) 09:10, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also watching out for British royal statements due to, not only the blood connection, but also the fact that Constantine is William's Godfather and William is one of Constantine's children's Godfather. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:12, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Same for me, as a Dutchmen im watching the Dutch Royal Family, since he is also the Godfather of Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands who is the youngest brother of the current King and 4th in the line of succesion.

He hence also knew the still living former Queen Beatrix. Matthijs1808 (talk) 09:17, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, right. Royal family trees; the gift that keeps on giving! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:19, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Its always interesting, btw you think we shoudl mention beside his role as (former) king and head of his house his Golden medal at the 1960 Olympic games? Matthijs1808 (talk) 09:21, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking about that, as well as his Danish titles, however I am worried it will be removed as it doesn't have anything to do with his death or funeral, but rather with him. So up to you really. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:33, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

had the same worry actually Matthijs1808 (talk) 09:35, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the guest list to be filled in as it is announced, for now his family wich we can estimate to be there. for Queen Sofia i was unsure where to add her. Matthijs1808 (talk) 10:38, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Funeral Guests

I expect members of the british and danish royal family to attend. 84.167.80.80 (talk) 08:44, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So do i but without it official we cant add it. Matthijs1808 (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Richiepipis there a confirming source on the attendance of the King and Queen of Sweden yet? Matthijs1808 (talk) 17:02, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Matthijs1808 it is on their official calendar, as this webpage will change I was waiting for a news article about their attendance to cite. Richiepip (talk) 17:59, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Richiepip alright I had not found it but might have been looking wrong, maybe add it as a source Matthijs1808 (talk) 18:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Flagicons in Non-reigning royals section

Recently, there was an RFC on Talk:List of dignitaries at the state funeral of Elizabeth II#RFC: Flag icons on Members of non-reigning royal houses that decided against using flagicons for members of non-reigning royal families, with one of the arguments being that since they are not ruling, they are not representing a country. Does that logic apply to this page as well? 2601:249:9301:D570:CD6C:834:267F:2D59 (talk) 01:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It does apply here & there's no need to have another RFC on this. The kingdoms of France, Romania, Serbia etc, haven't existed for decades & more. GoodDay (talk) 01:36, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The previously contested edit was in the funeral guests section. 2601:249:9301:D570:CD6C:834:267F:2D59 (talk) 01:47, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
