This was all done to do a formal / official bond between England and the affection they had for those pedo / boy loving ancient Greek philosophers, by marrying the late queen to one of them.

The irony is that the Greeks eventually had a referendum where they ousted said royalty and didn't want them there at all. You honestly cannot make shit up like this! But then again, there's a famous ancient battle where greeks fought on both sides of the war, so you kinda get the logic and reasoning, however dumb as it is.
