"King Charles' Greek Flag Tie Sparks Controversy Amid Marbles Row"
King Charles wore a tie with the Greek flag design while meeting world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, at the COP28 climate talks in Dubai. This comes just days after Sunak canceled a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis due to a diplomatic dispute over the Parthenon Sculptures. The sculptures, currently housed in the British Museum, have been a subject of contention as Greece continues to call for their return. Mitsotakis expressed annoyance at the cancellation and reiterated Greece's position on the sculptures, stating they were essentially stolen. King Charles' tie choice may be seen as a symbolic gesture given his father's Greek heritage.
