Prince Michael of Greece, the last living grandson of King George I of Greece, who was assassinated in 1913, has passed away at the age of 85.
The Greek newspaper Kathimerini reported that he died on Sunday in a hospital in Athens.
In 1967, Michael was the only member of the Greek royal family to remain in the country after King Constantine II's failed counter-coup against the ruling military junta.
This decision became a significant moment in the history of the Greek monarchy.
Prince Michael grew up in Morocco and Spain and pursued his education in France.
He began writing in 1970 and went on to publish numerous biographies of aristocrats as well as works on the history of Greece and the Ottoman Empire.
His contributions to historical literature provided valuable insights into the aristocracy and the complex histories of these regions.
His passing marks the end of an era for the Greek royal family and the closing chapter of a historical lineage.
