His dad was born in Greece and a member of the Greek royal family. Still, he blatantly chose to do it as some kind of statement.
…sources were adamant that there were no political ties.
You just know someone’s proud of themselves for that line.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
They insisted the tie worn by the King when he met Mr Sunak did not have any connection with Greece or the diplomatic row about the sculptures.
It sparked an angry backlash in Greece and claims by the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer that Mr Sunak had tried to “humiliate” an important European ally.
Former Chancellor George Osborne, who chairs the British Museum where the Marbles are currently housed, described Mr Sunak’s actions as a “hissy fit”.
Mr Sunak has, however, ruled out a loan arrangement, saying: “Our position is very clear - as a matter of law the Marbles can’t be returned and we’ve been unequivocal about that.”
In 2017, with fierce debates running about Brexit, there were claims that the late Queen Elizabeth had opened Parliament wearing a hat that resembled the European Union flag.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the late Queen was pictured meeting Canadian premier Justin Trudeau, standing in front of a vase full of blue and yellow-coloured flowers, the Ukrainian national colours.

This, the fuck you to the DUP when meeting them and sein Fein.
E: Just looked at the other comments, just for clarity, I think it might be more a fuck you to Sunak than Greece… Finding it hard to not to have a bit of a liking for the imperial overload…
People have a problem with the royal family and I do get it but both the Queen and now the King both seem to at least understand their privilege. They actually use their power, in as much as they can, for good.
Which puts them head and shoulders above the current government. Who does the opposite.
The current government is money/power hungry grifters. The royals have the unearned privilege by birth to just sneer at whoever they want. Broken clocks and all that.
The royal prerogative that allows the firm to quietly block any legislation that goes through is pretty grim
