Pablo de Grecia, nephew of Queen Sofia and head of the Hellenic crown since the death of his father Constantine last January, has captured attention in his last public appearance at the British Fashion Awards, held in London. The reason for his patch over his left eye has sparked speculation and questions among the audience.
During the event, Pablo de Grecia, accompanied by his wife Marie Chantal Miller, wore a patch that matched his tuxedo, arousing curiosity about whether it was a fashion accessory or had a medical basis. His wife, in a joking tone, expressed on social media the hope that it was a "temporary look" and commented that she thought it was "pretty cute."
However, Prince Paul himself was quick to clarify the mystery. In a message shared on December 4 on his official profiles, he thanked him for his interest and explained that he had undergone retinal surgery in London a week ago. Although the intervention was successful, he was banned from traveling for a time, thus revealing the real reason behind his eye-catching patch.
In brief but direct statements, the son of the late King Constantine of Greece shared details about the surgery: "A week ago I had retina surgery in London. The surgery was successful, but I am not allowed to travel for a while." This revelation dismisses speculation and confirms that the patch is a consequence of a necessary medical intervention.
Currently, Pablo de Grecia and his wife reside in New York, but after the event in London, they are expected to remain in the United Kingdom until the prince is discharged from hospital. The news, originally shared by the couple on their social networks, puts an end to speculation about the patch and offers a clear perspective on the health situation of the heir to the Hellenic crown.
