King Charles III sported a tie emblazoned with the Greek flag while meeting Rishi Sunak in Dubai — just days after the UK prime minister found himself embroiled in a diplomatic spat with the country.
The monarch matched the blue-and-white tie with a pocket square in Greek colors while attending international climate talks on Friday. Earlier this week, Sunak abruptly canceled a planned meeting with Greek premier Kyriakos Mitsotakis after his counterpart repeated calls for the Parthenon sculptures — known in Britain as the Elgin Marbles — to be returned to Athens.
