Their story

She was the younger sister of Queen Sofía of Spain and King Constantine II of Greece. In the 1960s, she briefly had a career as a professional pianist. From 1981 until her death, Irene lived permanently in Spain, becoming a part of the wider Spanish royal family as Queen Sofía's sister, to whose family she remained very close. In 2018, she renounced her Greek citizenship and obtained Spanish nationality.
