There's royal family jar in
Switzerland. a@e
Constantine. ex-king Of Greece, and

royal couple are estranged and that
Sophie will get divorce, leaving
"Tino" without throne or wife. g.

So she may compromise in the mari,

to be her chief ally. Now throneless
himself, he can't help sister, Sophie.
AL Switzerland is laughing over
the royal couples troubles. They're
specializing, too about the often-re.
ported plots Of Constantine to get
back in power in Greece.
Constantine lives in a big villa out
side Zurich, surrounded by all his pro-
German ministers who fed with him
when Greece got too hot.
Family jars are nothing new for
Mr. and Mrs. Constantine. Before
they went to the junk pile Sophie was
extremely jealous of'Tino" and it was
common gossip that they had violent
spats after some Of tho magnificent
parties they used to give in the palace
at Athens.
Constantine wasn't above spying on
friend wife, either, according to Swiss
runlors. He even had several dicta-
phones installed in Sophie's boudoir.
The gosslps said Sophie often re-
ceived Count Mirbach. then German
minister of Greece, and the Greek
