King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece hosted a spectacular Ball for Royal Guests and Relatives from around Europe at Claridge’s Hotel in London on this day in 1986, to celebrate Queen Anne-Marie of Greece’s 40th Birthday, Princess Alexia’s 21st Birthday, and the Christening of Prince Philippos. Exactly 33 years earlier, King Constantine’s parents hosted a Return Banquet at Claridge’s Hotel at the end of their State Visit to Britain in 1963.
