King Charles Wears Greek Flag Tie Amid UK-Greece Marbles Dispute

The monarch's choice of attire at the COP28 climate conference comes in the wake of a diplomatic row over the Parthenon Marbles.

King Charles wore a tie featuring the Greek national flag at the COP28 climate conference in Dubai, raising eyebrows due to the recent diplomatic dispute between the UK and Greece over the Parthenon Marbles.
The King's choice of attire came days after UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak cancelled a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis over the issue of the marbles, currently housed in the British Museum.
The Greek government has long called for the return of the sculptures, which were removed from the Parthenon temple in Athens in the early 19th century by British diplomat Lord Elgin.
The British Museum has stated it would consider a loan to Greece only if Athens acknowledges the museum's ownership of the sculptures, a condition Greece is reluctant to accept.
King Charles has personal ties to Greece, as his late father, Prince Philip, was born into the Greek royal family.
