Queen Anne-Marie of Greece paid a moving tribute to her husband King Constantine II as she attended his emotional funeral yesterday.
The widow, 76, was teary-eyed as she donned the same cross pendant she wore at her wedding to the late monarch during the proceedings in Athens.
While photos from the joyous nuptials in 1964 show the queen adorned in her bridal get up with the diamond charm on a chain, she yesterday sported it on a string of pearls.
Snaps from 59 years ago show the loved up couple in the Greek capital, with Anne-Marie looking stunning in an elegant white dress and glittering crown as a dapper Constantine flaunted his medals for the occasion.
It comes as royals from across Europe appeared emotional as they watched the late's king's coffin depart the Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral - ahead of a procession to his former summer palace of Tatoi on Monday.
Constantine passed away from a stroke on January 10 in the Greek capital at the age of 82 - more than 50 years after he was exiled in a military coup.
Princess Anne - who was the Greek King's second cousin - appeared stoic as she entered the cathedral in Athens with husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence this morning.
The public funeral was followed by a 29km procession to Tatoi Palace, from which there was a separate private ceremony with Constantine laid to rest with other members of the Greek royal family.
Constantine's son Crown Prince Pavlos bowed his head as he looked over his father's coffin inside the church.
Shortly afterwards, the grieving son greeted Queen Letizia of Spain with a kiss on the hand on the top of the cathedral steps.
The Spanish monarch, 50, styled her hair in a chic updo and opted for minimal jewellery to offset her tailored black coat dress.
Prince Albert of Monaco also made the journey to Greece and was pictured acknowledging crowds of mourners with a wave as he entered the cathedral.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looked visibly emotional as they arrived at the service arm-in-arm.
Meanwhile, former Spanish king Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, who is Constantine's sister, were among other high-profile European royalty in attendance.
It comes after Greek mourners lined the streets of Athens to pay their respects to King Constantine II - who was the Duke of Edinburgh's nephew - before funeral processions began.
Members of the public queued through the night to see the last King of Greece's coffin at the chapel of Agios Eleftherios, next to the cathedral.
Constantine's coffin was draped in a Greek flag as members of the public were invited into the chapel to say their goodbyes to the former monarch.
Over the weekend, royals from across Europe - including Queen Margrethe of Denmark and King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain - flew into the Greek capital to attend the funeral yesterday.
Deputy Prime Minister Pangagiotis Pikrammenos and Culture and Sports Minister Lina Mendoni represented the Greek government at the service.
Among the other European royals to attend were King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, as well as Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands.
There are a total of 200 guests who attended the proceedings - including Greek shipowners and businessmen.
A second cousin of King Charles and Godfather to Prince William, Constantine II lived most of his life in exile after a Greek referendum which rejected the monarchy in 1974.
He was the only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece and the last king of the country.
Constantine, an Olympics gold medalist in sailing, was 27 years old and had been a king for three years in 1967, when he was forced into exile with his wife Princess Anne-Marie, the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and his family.
He wasn't to return to Greece for decades, where he was deeply unpopular for his decision to swear-in the colonels who seized power in April 1967. He briefly cooperated with them before staging a failed counter-coup, that led to his exile.
The military junta abolished the monarchy in 1973. In a referendum after the fall of the junta in 1974, Greece rejected monarchy again.
After the referendum, his relationship with Greece was testy. He was allowed to return only for a few hours in 1981 to bury his mother, Queen Frederika, at the family estate at Tatoi, about 20 kilometres north of Athens.
In the 1990s, Constantine was stripped of his Greek citizenship and the state seized Tatoi and a palace on the island of Corfu where Britain's Prince Philip was born.
The King had been in ill health in recent months, having several hospital admissions towards the end of 2022.
He is survived by his wife, the former princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II; five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos; and nine grandchildren.

Constantine II (born June 2, 1940, Psikhikó, near Athens, Greece—died January 10, 2023, Athens, Greece) was the king of Greece from 1964 to 1974.
After spending World War II in exile in South Africa, Constantine returned to Greece in 1946. When his father became King Paul I in 1947, Constantine became crown prince; he succeeded to the throne upon his father’s death on March 6, 1964. Fearing leftist infiltration of the army, he dismissed Premier Georgios Papandreou in July 1965 and appointed interim premiers until April 21, 1967, when a military coup forestalled the election he was planning for May of that year. He attempted a countercoup from northern Greece on December 13, 1967, but had few sympathizers and almost immediately fled to Rome with his family. The military regime retained control of the monarchy and appointed a regent in Constantine’s place, granting the king a free return if he so desired.

By the standards of the hapless Greek monarchy, Constantine II, the last king of the Hellenes, who has died aged 82, led a comfortable life in exile after a brief and turbulent reign. Of the seven Greek monarchs of the 19th and 20th centuries, three were deposed, one assassinated, two abdicated and one died of septicaemia after being bitten by a barbary ape in the royal gardens.
The Glücksburg monarchy was German-Danish in origin, imposed on Greece in the 1830s. During prolonged wrangling after Constantine’s deposition, the Greek government refused to give him a passport until he acknowledged that he was Mr Glücksburg, whereas he insisted he was just plain Constantine. As the last of Greece’s deposed monarchs he escaped lightly. But decades of exile in London, as one thing the Greeks did not want back from Britain, were not how he would have chosen to spend his life.
In Hampstead Garden Suburb, Constantine lived in some state – apparently supported largely by donations from Greek monarchists – and visitors were expected to address him as Your Majesty. He was included in many invitations by the British royal family, to whom, like most of Europe’s monarchies, he was related. Prince Philip was his father’s first cousin, King Charles III his second cousin and Queen Elizabeth II a third cousin, and he was a godfather to Prince William. His wife was a Danish princess, the sister of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II, and his sister Sofía became queen of Spain. Only in Greece was he unrecognised, and he was not allowed to return to live there until 2013, long after the events that had toppled him from the throne after a military coup in 1967 and resulted in the abolition of the monarchy in Greece in 1973.
In many ways, Constantine was a victim of the vicious political infighting that has characterised Greek politics and its society for much of the period since the second world war. It perhaps needed a stronger, more experienced and more resolute approach to surmount the crises of his three-year reign than the young man in his early 20s could manage. In later life he said in an interview that he might have liked to be an actor or a journalist, but his fate was to spend his life as an ex-king, harried by Greek politicians and in turn harassing them in a prolonged legal fight for compensation for his family’s lost property, eventually through the European court of human rights.
Born in Athens, Constantine was the son of the Greek crown prince, Paul, the younger brother of King George II, and his German-born wife Princess Frederica, and was taken into exile as a baby following the Italian and then Nazi invasions of the country in 1940-41. His early years were spent first in Egypt and then in South Africa, before the family returned to Greece following the referendum that restored George to the throne in 1946. George died the following year, and Paul became king.
Constantine was educated at a private high school in Athens, modelled on the same lines as the German educationist Kurt Hahn’s principles at Gordonstoun, and afterwards attended Athens University to study law. A keen sailor, Constantine was a member of Greece’s winning sailing team at the 1960 Rome Olympics – the country’s first gold medal in nearly 50 years.
He succeeded to the throne aged 23 on his father’s death in March 1964, becoming head of state in a country that had not got over the civil war between communists and the Greek government of 1946-49, and where political tensions and divisions continued to run deep. The CIA, desperate to avoid Greece falling into communist hands, was also active in Athens. Greece was a strategic pawn between the US and the Soviet Union, each anxious to pull the country into its sphere of influence in the eastern Mediterranean. At the same time, it was attempting to modernise with social and economic reforms as an associate member and applicant to join the Common Market.
The month before Constantine came to the throne, a general election had produced a centrist – moderate, leftwing – government under George Papandreou, following 11 years of rightwing government. Within a year, relations between the king and his prime minister were breaking down. Conservative army officers were alarmed by a perceived leftwards drift among the junior ranks, who were supported by Papandreou’s Harvard-educated son Andreas. When George Papandreou announced that he would take over the defence ministry himself, Constantine refused to allow him to do so, and the government resigned. In the hiatus that followed, the king attempted to appoint a government without holding an election and was accused of acting unconstitutionally.
When elections were finally called in April 1967, the likely re-election of Papandreou was forestalled by an army coup led by colonels. Constantine initially appeared to go along with the insurgents. He argued later that he had had no choice as the palace was surrounded by army tanks, but there were also persistent suggestions that he had been urged by the American embassy to do so in order to avoid another radical government. Many Greeks and civilian politicians never forgave the king for acceding to the coup, but within months he attempted a counter-coup of his own, fleeing to loyalist troops in the northern city of Kavala that December in an attempt to create a rival military support and force the junta to resign.
The operation was poorly organised and, although the air force and navy declared their support, the army and its officers rallied to the coup leaders. Support for the king melted away within 24 hours. Fearing bloodshed if it came to a military confrontation, Constantine and his family fled into exile, first in Rome and then a few years later in London.
There was no going back for the king. The junta, led by Colonel Georgios Papadopoulos, brutally consolidated their regime using censorship, mass arrests of opponents, torture and imprisonments, and were not going to reinstate Constantine after his attempted coup. When monarchist navy officers unsuccessfully attempted to overthrow the colonels in June 1973, Papadopoulos declared the country a republic, endorsed subsequently in a plebiscite widely assumed to have been rigged.
Nonetheless, when the regime fell following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, to be succeeded by a civilian government, a further referendum was held to determine whether the king should be restored. Constantine was not allowed to return in order to campaign on his own behalf, though he was allowed to broadcast an address from London in which he apologised for his previous errors. But his maladroit interference with the civilian governments before the coup was held against him and the outcome of the vote in December 1974 was heavily in favour of a republic: by 69% to 31%.
Thereafter, for decades, Constantine was prevented from visiting Greece except briefly and on rare occasions: for his mother’s funeral in 1981 and for an attempted holiday in 1993, when he found his yacht was constantly harried by torpedo boats and aeroplanes. The following year, the Greek government revoked his citizenship and passport and seized the royal family’s property. “The law basically said that I had to go out and acquire a name. The problem is that my family originates from Denmark and the Danish royal family haven’t got a surname,” he said, adding that Glücksburg was the name of a place not a family: “I might as well call myself Mr Kensington.”
In 2000, the court of human rights found for the king in relation to the property, though it could only order compensation, not the return of his extensive estates nor the royal palace at Tatoi and awarded him only 12m euros (around £10m), rather than the 500m he had asked for: a reduction that the Greek government counted as a triumphant vindication. It nevertheless took another two years to pay the money and, when it did so, the government took it from its extraordinary natural disasters fund rather than general reserves. In retaliation, Constantine used the money to set up a charitable foundation in the name of his wife to assist Greeks suffering from natural disasters. He said: “I feel the Greek government have acted unjustly and vindictively. They treat me sometimes as if I am their enemy – I am not the enemy. I consider it the greatest insult in the world for a Greek to be told he is not a Greek.”
Generally, while expressing a wish to be allowed to live in Greece, which was granted in 2013, Constantine seemed equable about his fate and did not attempt to regain the throne. “All I want is to have my home back and to be able to travel in and out of Greece like every other Greek. I don’t have to be in Greece as head of state. I am quite happy to be there as a private citizen,” he told the Sunday Telegraph in 2000. “Forget the past, we are a republic now. Let’s get on with the future.”
Constantine is survived by his wife, Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, whom he married in 1964; and their three sons, Pavlos, Philippos and Nikolaos, and two daughters, Alexia and Theodora.

On September 18, 1964, Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark married King Constantine of Greece in Athens. "I was the first king ever to marry in Greece," the king recalled to Town & Country in 2015.
For the day, she wore a dress designed by Danish fashion designer Jorgen Bender. Three years after their wedding, the Greek royal family was forced into exile by a military coup. Queen Anne-Marie's wedding tiara and tiara were passed down, but her dress was lost in the archives of Tatoi Palace.
Constatntine and Anne-Marie on their wedding day.
The royal couple relocated back to Greece in 2013. "Look at ancient Greek history," Constantine told T&C. "All Greeks who live in exile, they want to go back. It's in the blood. Funnily enough, the one pushing hardest was my wife. I think she realized I would be happy only when I came back home." He passed away in Athens earlier this year.
The discovery of the dress was reported by Greek journalist, Andreas Magos, who shared snaps of the box that the gown was kept in:
The caption (translated from Greek) reads, "Here is the wedding dress of Queen Anne-Marie located in Tatoi, where a few days ago it was revealed among the personal belongings of the royal family preserved and kept there. Perhaps this will also be exhibited in the Museum, Palace of Tatoi."
Tatoi is currently undergoing a $14.97 million renovation, and will be turned into a museum. Throughout the restoration process, numerous royal heirlooms have been discovered.
"Among the recent discoveries, the renovation workers found a total of seventy suitcases and trunks, all believed to belong to Frederica, the Queen Consort of Greece, from 1947 to 1964, and Queen mother thereafter," the Greek Reporter reported in 2020."Work on uncovering these treasures in the Tatoi is being supervised by archaeologists, who are tasked with making sure that these precious artifacts of Greece’s modern history will not be damaged."
It's unclear the future of Queen Anne-Marie's royal wedding dress.

Members of the Greek and Spanish royal families were out in full force on Tuesday for King Constantine II of Greece’s memorial service . The service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor took place over a year after the last King of Greece’s passing . The late royal—whose grandfather King Constantine I was brothers with King Charles’ paternal grandfather, Prince Andrew—died in Athens at the age of 82 in January of 2023. In Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece’s eulogy for his father last year, the King’s eldest son said (via AP ), “By the grace of God, you drew your last breath in our country, which you always loved above all else throughout your life.”
Pavlos and his wife Crown Princess Marie-Chantal were among the attendees at the Service of Thanksgiving for the life of King Constantine II on Feb. 27. As were the late King’s sisters: Queen Sofia of Spain and Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark. Scroll to see other royals who were in attendance...

1964 Royal wedding
Wedding of Constantine II and Princess Anne-MarieDate18 September 1964VenueMetropolitan Cathedral of AthensLocationAthens, Kingdom of GreeceParticipantsConstantine II of Greece
Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark
The wedding of Constantine II, King of the Hellenes, and Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark took place on Friday, 18 September 1964, at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens.
Constantine II was the reigning Greek monarch, while Princess Anne-Marie was the youngest daughter of King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. It was the second, and to date, the last wedding of a reigning Greek monarch, and the first to be held in Greece.[1]
Chrysostomos II, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, presided over the Church of Greece ceremony. The ceremony was attended by the bride's and groom's families, as well as members of foreign royal families, diplomats, and various Greek and Danish officials.
Engagement
[edit]
The couple, third cousins through both Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and King Christian IX of Denmark, first met in 1959 when then Crown Prince Constantine accompanied his parents on a state visit to Denmark. Princess Anne-Marie was just 13 at the time. They met again in 1961, and in 1962, Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Constantine's older sister, Princess Sophia, to Infante Juan Carlos of Spain. In 1962, Princess Anne-Marie was on holiday with her governess in Norway, where Crown Prince Constantine was attending a yacht racing event. He proposed and she accepted. King Frederik IX initially withheld his consent, as Anne-Marie was only 15 at the time, but eventually relented on the conditions that she finish her education and the wedding not be held before her 18th birthday.[1]
On 23 January 1963, the Danish royal court announced the engagement. The wedding was initially set for January 1965. Following the death of Constantine's father, King Paul, on 6 March 1964, the date was moved forward to 18 September 1964.[2]
Pre-wedding celebrations
[edit]
In Denmark
[edit]
The celebrations began in early September 1964. On 7 September, Constantine arrived in Denmark where a private dinner was held at Fredensborg Palace. The next day, there was a gala performance at the Royal Danish Theatre followed by a banquet at Christiansborg Palace. The next morning, a reception was held at Copenhagen City Hall.[2]
In Greece
[edit]
King Constantine II, Princess Anne-Marie, King Frederik IX, Queen Ingrid, Princess Margrethe and Princess Benedikte sailed to Greece on board the Danish royal yacht Dannebrog. A reception was held in honour of the Danish royal family at the Hotel Grande Bretagne.
On 16 September, most of the royal guests arrived in Greece by plane. That evening, a gala was held at the Royal Palace for 1,600 invited guests.[3]
Wedding
[edit]
Constantine and Anne-Marie were married on 18 September 1964, two weeks after Anne-Marie's 18th birthday.[4]
Ceremony
[edit]
The Greek Orthodox marriage ceremony took place in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, and was conducted by Chrysostomos II, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece.[3]
Attire
[edit]
Princess Anne-Marie wore a relatively unadorned gown by Danish designer Holger Blom, assisted by Jørgen Bender.[5] Her Irish lace veil, worn by her maternal grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught at her wedding in 1905, was anchored by a Cartier diamond tiara given to Princess Margaret by the Abbas II, Khedive of Egypt. The veil had also been worn by her mother, Queen Ingrid, in 1935. The veil and tiara together have been worn by all of Ingrid's female descendants.[6][3]
King Constantine II wore the ceremonial uniform of stratarches (field marshal) of the Hellenic Army. He wore the insignia of the Greek Order of the Redeemer, Order of Saints George and Constantine, Order of George I and the Commemorative Badge of the Centenary of the Royal House of Greece, as well as with the insignia of the Danish Order of the Elephant and Order of the Dannebrog.[6]

The former King of Greece, Constantine II, has died at the age of 82, CNN affiliate CNN Greece reported on Tuesday.
According to CNN Greece, the former King had experienced serious health problems in the past few months and recently contracted coronavirus for the second time, which appeared to have significantly worsened his condition.
Constantine first tested positive for Covid-19 in January 2022, after being hospitalized with pneumonia the previous month, CNN Greece reported.
Constantine II was born in Psikhikó, near Athens, on June 2, 1940.
He spent World War II in exile in South Africa, returning to Greece in 1946. A year later, Constantine became crown prince when Greece’s King George II died and his brother, Paul – Constantine’s father – ascended the throne.
Constantine II became King when Paul died on March 6, 1964.
That year, he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in Athens. They had five children: Prince Pavlos, Princess Alexia, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos.
After a military coup in 1967, Constantine and his family fled to Rome, and the military regime appointed a regent to take his place.
The Greek monarchy was abolished on June 1, 1973, when the military regime proclaimed the country a republic – a decision that was backed by a subsequent referendum. Constantine accepted the abolition after another referendum was conducted by an elected civilian government in 1974.
That year, the former King moved from Rome to England, settling in London. In the 2000s, he became a frequent visitor to Greece.
Constantine II was the cousin of Britain’s King Charles III and the godfather of Prince William. His sister, Sofia, was Queen of Spain between 1975 and 2014.
Constantine will receive a private burial at a former royal estate outside Athens, the Greek government said on Wednesday, according to Reuters.

Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece was only a boy when his father was exiled, but now his family are some of the most glamorous European royals.

The children and grandchildren of deposed King Constantine II of Greece have wealth, beauty, fame and are widely considered the most glamorous of the European royals. But they do not have a kingdom … yet. In our Christmas 2023 edition, The Weekly looked at the fall – and new rise – of the Greek royal family.
There was no official mourning, no gun salute, no slow march through the ancient streets of Athens, but when the coffin of King Constantine II of Greece arrived at the city’s Metropolitan Cathedral on January 16, 2023, it was to large crowds and an extraordinary show of royal solidarity.
Beneath the cathedral’s magnificent Byzantine dome stood a formidable array of crowned heads from around the world, including three kings, six queens, an empress, a tsar, numerous crown princes and princesses, and a grand duke. All had come from their various realms to honour a long-deposed and exiled monarch, now dismissively referred to by the Greek authorities as ‘Mr Constantine Glücksburg’.
Incense and prayer chants filled the air and warm tributes were paid, but it was the closing address of the late king’s heir, Crown Prince Pavlos, 56, that made a nation watching on live TV sit bolt upright: “My dear father,” he declared. “This is not the end.”
It would be tempting to say that the Greek royal family now reigns over nothing more than the covers of glossy magazines. The Prince of Greece, his mega-rich heiress wife, Princess Marie-Chantal and their five photogenic children are familiar sights in the fashionable resorts of the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Alps. Their grand homes in London, New York, the English countryside and the Bahamas are cited as a testament to their taste and refinement.
Yet wealth and glamour don’t necessarily compensate for the loss of a kingdom, and the word from Greece’s royalist faithful is that Pavlos and his privileged kin are discretely looking for something more.
Today, with the old royal family scattered, only Constantine’s steadfast widow, Queen Anne-Marie, 76, the younger sister of Queen Margrethe of Denmark, remains in Greece, occupying a modest Athens apartment. (As a tale of two sisters, the super-popular Margrethe and the dispossessed, rarely-seen Anne-Marie could hardly offer a greater contrast.)
But after exactly 50 years as a republic, there is the sense of a changing mood in Greece. The death of 82-year-old Constantine not only brought the royalist flags and anthems back onto the streets, but forced a softening of the official stance against any kind of reconciliation with the monarchy. Having initially announced that the king would be buried as a private citizen, with no state recognition, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis backtracked in the face of criticism and sent his deputy to the funeral.
Then, in early March, the prince of Greece dropped another bombshell. He revealed that he and Marie-Chantal were looking for a permanent home in Greece, and in an interview with a French magazine, added: “We want to be more visible to the Greek people. They will be seeing a lot more of us in the future.”
Was the tall, goatee-bearded prince dangling a subtle proposition before his father’s former subjects? If so, despite all the swirl of positive sentiment around the funeral, he will face formidable obstacles.
Pavlos was only seven months old when his father, was forced into exile by the military junta that had seized power in Greece. In a bungled attempt to restore democracy, Constantine launched a counter-coup, which was quickly crushed, and in late 1967, the vengeful ‘Colonels’ drove him out of the country. The royal family fled first to Rome, then to London, where Constantine and his wife, Queen Anne-Marie, were welcomed by Queen Elizabeth and her Greek-born husband Prince Philip. England would remain their home for the next 47 years.
Perhaps unfairly, many Greeks blamed the young, inexperienced king – then only three years into his reign – for failing to resist the junta in the first place, and in 1973, after a one-sided referendum, the monarchy was abolished. All the royal family’s properties, including the historic Tatoi Palace in the hills outside Athens, were confiscated, and their titles scrapped. In what was seen as a calculated slight, Constantine and his family were officially accorded the name ‘Glücksburg’ – a reference to a castle owned by a Danish branch of the family.
Supported by a group of wealthy Greek sympathisers, Constantine, Anne-Marie and their family lived a genteel life in London, moving among the cream of high society, and becoming particularly close to the current King Charles and his then wife, Diana, Princess of Wales. Yet his heart yearned for Greece, and the little prince of Greece was raised with the idea that the old country was his destiny.
Further humiliations were heaped upon the ex-king. In 1993, he was stripped of his citizenship, his passport was cancelled and during a holiday cruise around Greek waters, his yacht was harassed by naval vessels and warplanes. The now stateless king refused to retaliate. His friend, shipping heir and author Taki Theodoracopulous, remembers Constantine forbidding him from criticising the regime on the royal family’s behalf. “He never complained and never accused his enemies,” says Taki.
It wasn’t until ten years ago that Constantine and Anne-Marie were finally allowed to return home. They moved into a grand seaside villa on the Argolis Peninsula, two hours drive from Athens, in an area known as the ‘Hamptons of Greece’. But they had to agree to keeping a low profile, and to desist from engaging in ‘political activity’.
As long as his father was alive, Pavlos, too, felt constrained from doing anything the ever-sensitive Greek authorities might consider provocative. Educated at a private Hellenic school, founded by his father in London, Pavlos later attended Sandhurst, Britain’s elite military training college, and was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
In 1995, having left the army, the prince of Greece married Marie-Chantal Miller, the vivacious daughter of an Anglo-American business tycoon. It was the society wedding of the year, with a virtual Who’s Who of European royalty in attendance. Pavlos later joked to Charles that there were more royals at his marriage to Marie-Chantal than at Charles’ nuptials with Diana at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Today the couple and their children divide their time between New York, where Pavlos works as an investment banker, and London, where 54-year-old Marie-Chantal’s luxury childrenswear business is based.
Marie Provost, a writer with the French magazine Point de Vue, which specialises in royal coverage, says: “They are Europe’s most glamorous royal family by far, and they are also very close and hard working and rather nice, too.”
The family powerhouse is undoubtedly Marie-Chantal, whose billionaire father, Bob Warren, owns a global chain of duty-free shops. Raised in Hong Kong, the hub of Bob’s business empire, she was sent to schools in London, Paris and Switzerland, and went on to university in New York, where she moved in bohemian circles, working at one time for pop artist Andy Warhol at his notorious Factory.
It was in New York that the blonde, waif-like ‘factory girl’ met the straight-laced, stiff-mannered, fresh-out-of-the-army Pavlos. They were set up on a blind date by a Greek friend of the prince, who had a hunch that for all their apparent differences they might hit it off.
They did. “We just clicked,” Marie-Chantal said later. “It was love at first sight. I knew he would be the person I would marry.”
They remained for a while in New York, then in 2002 moved to London, with Pavlos apparently keen for the three children they now had to receive European educations. Their new home, a magnificent double-fronted mansion in Chelsea’s Thames-side Cheyne Walk, quickly became – and remains – a hub of social activity.
A country estate in the Cotswolds – close to King Charles’ Highgrove pile – and a hunting lodge in Yorkshire were soon added to the couple’s UK property portfolio. The couple could afford it. According to the London Sunday Times’ annual Rich List, Marie Chantal alone has a net worth of A$ 4.3 billion.
Not that she has any inclination to join the idle rich. For the last 20 years, the princess has run her own ‘Marie-Chantal’ exclusive babywear and children’s clothing business with a flagship store in London’s Belgravia. She designs many of the items herself, which are often spotted on pampered junior members of the European aristocracy.
“My brand is like my sixth child,” Marie-Chantal told The London Times: “I was a young mother, pregnant with my third child when I started it, and I wanted to work. I’m very creative. I love to draw, and I wanted to do something in the world of luxury or retail because that was what I was exposed to through my father’s business.”
The couple’s three eldest children have been busily blazing their own path through the social scene, with daughter, Marie-Olympia, 27, a goddaughter of King Charles, leading the way. British society magazine Tatler calls her: “The undisputed It girl of London,” and while her modelling career has yet to hit stellar heights, she is prized in the fashion trade as an ambassador for brands such as Dior, Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton. “She’s the life and soul,” says celebrity photographer German Larkin. “She has that sleek, stylish look that every photographer loves.”
Eldest son, Constantine-Alexios, 24, known to his friends as ‘Tino’ and described by royal writer Hilary Rose as “a young, blond Greek god,” has inherited his mother’s artistic bent and is said to be pursuing a career as a sculptor. At least when he isn’t pursuing the upper class girls who flock each summer to the fashionable Greek islands of Mykonos and Patmos, where the holidaying royals like to anchor their yacht. Tino is currently dating society model Poppy Delevingne, 36, who last year split from her businessman husband James Cook.
Then there’s the “fluffy-haired heartthrob” Prince Achileas-Andreas, 23, an aspiring actor known by the stage name ‘Achi Miller’, who has already appeared in an American daytime soap opera. A recent graduate of Manhattan University, Achi has been escorting heiress, Natalie Massenet, daughter of his mother’s best friend Isabella Massenet, founder of the Net-a-Porter fashion company. The two youngest sons, Odysseas-Kimon and Aristidis-Stavros, 15, are both students.
As a royal family with everything except a kingdom, the ‘Golden Greeks’ are biding their time, rebuilding their links with their lost homeland, and not, at least in the short term, expecting too much.
“I don’t think a complete return is likely,” says Andreas Megos, editor of a popular Greek website focusing on the royals. “It’s been too long a time, and most people can’t even remember when we had a monarchy. But those old wounds are healing, and there’s plenty of respect and goodwill towards Pavlos. We saw it on the streets. I think he could definitely play a role here.”
In a similar vein, the prince of Greece insists that he is not seeking to retake the throne. “I’m not looking for anything,” he said. “Our role is to be good people, and do what we can to help the country.”
Yet the signs of reconciliation are everywhere. Despite the political sensitivities, the governing New Democracy party has a substantial monarchist wing, and several of its leading figures are on good terms with the royals. Polls still show a clear majority of voters preferring to remain a republic, but the gap has narrowed in recent years, and as Greece has struggled with chronic economic and social problems, many seem open to the idea of a new constitutional model.
Queen Anne-Marie, a poignant figure at her husband’s funeral, has proved to be a model of dignity and discretion, and is seen by many as the mother of the nation.
‘Exile’ comes from the Greek word for flight, and in ancient times was a common punishment for leaders who were deemed to have failed the people. The good news was that it only lasted for ten years before the slate was wiped clean. Constantine’s exile lasted long enough to pay the debts of five generations, and it may not take that long for his successors to bounce back.

Former King Constantine II of Greece has passed away at the age of 82. The Greek royal’s doctors announced on Tuesday, Jan. 10, that he died in Athens at a private hospital, according to the Associated Press .
The Associated Press confirmed that Constantine II, who was one of Prince William ’s godparents and an Olympic gold medalist, passed away following “treatment in an intensive care unit.” Royal Central reported on Jan. 6 that King Felipe of Spain’s uncle was in the hospital and in “critical condition” after suffering a stroke.
Constantine, who was the only son of King Paul I and Queen Frederica, was born on June 2, 1940 in Athens. He acceded to the throne following his father’s death in 1964. Constantine was the last King of Greece. The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973.
The late royal is the brother of Queen Sofia of Spain and Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark. He was also related to King Charles III’s father Prince Philip. The late Duke of Edinburgh’s father, Prince Andrew, was a younger brother of Constantine’s grandfather, King Constantine I.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth last year, Constantine II’s eldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos, wrote on Instagram, “I also am so very thankful for the kindness HM gave to my parents and family in times of need.”

Greece abolished the monarchy in 1974.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/constantine-greece-king-dies-at-82/
|
Constantine, the former and last king of Greece, has died at a private hospital in Athens, his doctors announced late Tuesday. He was 82.
Staff at the private Hygeia Hospital in Athens confirmed to The Associated Press that Constantine has died after treatment in an intensive care unit, but had no further details pending an official announcement.
When he acceded to the throne as Constantine II at the age of 23 in 1964, the youthful monarch, who had already achieved glory as an Olympic gold medalist in sailing, was hugely popular. By the following year he had squandered much of that support with his active involvement in the machinations that brought down the popularly elected Center Union government of prime minister George Papandreou.
The episode, still widely known in Greece as the "apostasy," or defection from the ruling party of several lawmakers, destabilized the constitutional order and led in 1967 to a military coup. Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile. The dictatorship abolished the monarchy in 1973 while a referendum after democracy was restored in 1974 dashed any hopes that Constantine had of ever reigning again.
Reduced in the following decades to only fleeting visits to Greece that raised a political and media storm each time, he was able in his waning years to settle again in his home country, when opposing his presence no longer held currency as a badge of vigilant republicanism. With minimal nostalgia for the monarchy in Greece, Constantine became a relatively uncontroversial figure from the past.
Constantine was born June 2, 1940 in Athens, to Prince Paul, younger brother to King George II and heir presumptive to the throne, and princess Federica of Hanover. His older sister Sophia is the wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain. The Greek-born Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh and husband of the United Kingdom's late Queen Elizabeth II, was an uncle.
The family, which had ruled in Greece from 1863 apart from a 12-year republican interlude between 1922-1935, was descended from Prince Christian, later Christian IX of Denmark, of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg branch of the Danish ruling family.
Before Constantine's first birthday, the royal family was forced to flee Greece during the German invasion in World War II, moving to Alexandria in Egypt, South Africa and back to Alexandria. King George II returned to Greece in 1946, following a disputed referendum, but died a few months later, making Constantine the heir to King Paul I.
Constantine was educated at a boarding school and then attended all three military academies as well as Athens Law School classes as preparation for his future role. He also competed in various sports, including sailing and karate, in which he held a black belt.
In 1960, aged 20, he and two other Greek sailors won a gold medal in the Dragon Class — now no longer an Olympic class — at the Rome Olympics. While still a prince, Constantine was elected a member of the International Olympic Committee in 1963, and became an honorary member for life in 1974.
King Paul I died of cancer on March 6, 1964 and Constantine succeeded him, weeks after the Center Union party had triumphed over the conservatives with 53% of the vote.
The prime minister, George Papandreou, and Constantine initially had a very close relationship, but it soon soured over Constantine's insistence that control of the armed forces was the monarch's prerogative.
With many officers toying with the idea of a dictatorship and viewing any non-conservative government as soft on communism, Papandreou wanted to control the ministry of defense and eventually demanded to be appointed defense minister as well. After an acrimonious exchange of letters with Constantine, Papandreou resigned in July 1965.
Constantine's insistence on appointing a government composed of centrist defectors that won a narrow parliamentary majority on the third try was hugely unpopular. Many viewed him as being manipulated by his scheming mother, dowager Queen Frederica. "The people don't want you, take your mother and go!" became the rallying cry in the protests, often violent, that rocked Greece in the summer of 1965.
Eventually, Constantine made a truce of sorts with Papandreou and, with his agreement, appointed a government of technocrats and, then, a conservative-led government to hold an election in May 1967.
But, with the polls heavily favoring the Center Union and with Papandreou's left-leaning son, Andreas, gaining in popularity, Constantine and his courtiers feared revenge and with the aid of high-ranking officers prepared a coup.
However, a group of lower-ranking officers, led by colonels, were preparing their own coup and, apprised of Constantine's plans by a mole, a general whom they had won over to their side, proclaimed a dictatorship on April 21, 1967.
Constantine was taken by surprise and his feelings toward the new rulers were obvious in the official photo of the new government. He pretended to go along with them, while preparing a counter-coup with the help of troops in northern Greece and the navy, which was loyal to him.
On December 13, 1967, Constantine and his family flew to the northern city of Kavala with the intent to march on Thessaloniki and set up a government there. The counter-coup, badly managed and infiltrated, collapsed and Constantine was forced to flee to Rome the following day. He would never return as reigning king.
The junta appointed a regent and, after an abortive Navy counter-coup in May 1973, abolished the monarchy on June 1, 1973. A July plebiscite, widely considered rigged, confirmed the decision.
When the dictatorship collapsed in July 1974, Constantine was eager to return to Greece but was advised against it by veteran politician Constantine Karamanlis, who returned from exile to head a civilian government. Karamanlis, who had also headed the government between 1955-63, was a conservative but had clashed with the court over what he considered its excessive interference in politics.
After his triumphal win in November elections, Karamanlis called for a plebiscite on the monarchy for December 8, 1974. Constantine was not allowed in the country to campaign, but the result was unambiguous and widely accepted: 69.2% voted in favor of a republic.
Soon after, Karamanlis famously said that the nation had rid itself of a cancerous growth. Constantine said on the day following the referendum that "national unity must take precedence ... I wholeheartedly wish that developments will justify the result of yesterday's vote."
To his final days, Constantine, while accepting that Greece was now a republic, continued to style himself King of Greece and his children as princes and princesses even though Greece no longer recognized titles of nobility.
For most of his years in exile he lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, and was said to be especially close to his second cousin Charles, the Prince of Wales and now King Charles III.
While it took Constantine 14 years to return to his country, briefly, to bury his mother, Queen Federica in 1981, he multiplied his visits thereafter and, from 2010, made his home there. There were continued disputes: in 1994, the then socialist government stripped him of his nationality and expropriated what remained of the royal family's property. Constantine sued at the European Court of Human Rights and was awarded 12 million euros in 2002, a fraction of the 500 million he had sought.
Constantine travelled with a Danish passport, as a Danish prince.
He is survived by his wife, the former Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II; five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos; and nine grandchildren.

Anne-Marie (Greek: Άννα-Μαρία, romanized:Ánna-María; born Princess Anne-Marie Dagmar Ingrid of Denmark, 30 August 1946) is a Danish princess who was Queen of Greece as the consort of King Constantine II from their marriage on 18 September 1964 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Anne-Marie is the youngest daughter of Frederik IX of Denmark and Ingrid of Sweden. In 1964, she married Constantine and became queen consort of Greece. They had five children: Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora, and Prince Philippos. As queen, Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as "Her Majesty's Fund", a foundation established by her mother-in-law, Queen Frederica of Greece. In 1967, Anne-Marie and her family were forced into exile upon the rise of a military dictatorship. After fleeing to Rome, they eventually settled in London, when the Greek monarchy was officially abolished.

On September 18, 1964, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark at the time) tied the knot with King Constantine II of Greece in Athens. For her big day, the bride wore a wedding dress, featuring three-quarter-length sleeves, a boat neckline, and a belted waistband, designed by Jorgen Bender. Just three years after they said "I do," a military coup forced the Greek family into exile, and they accidentally left the royal’s gown at Tatoi Palace. Now, more than 55 years later, the queen's long-lost wedding dress has been found.
Greek journalist Andreas Magos reported the discovery on Instagram on November 13, 2023. The caption, written in Greek, translates to, “Here is the wedding dress of Queen Anne-Marie located in Tatoi, where a few days ago, it was revealed among the personal belongings of the royal family preserved and kept there. Perhaps this will also be exhibited in the Museum, Palace of Tatoi.” According to Town & Country, the palace is going to function as a museum, so it’s currently undergoing renovations. During the process, workers have found many other royal heirlooms.
Along with the caption, Magos uploaded a collection of photos featuring the long-lost wedding dress. The first image in the carousel shows a split-screen collage, with a bridal portrait of Anne-Marie on her wedding day beside a shot of the gown today. The second photo shows a closer look at the current state of the ensemble, which is suspended from a hanger with the 20-foot train draped across the floor. The final snap exhibits a silver case, engraved with the queen’s initials, where the getup was stored all of these years.
On her wedding day, the bride completed her outfit with a veil made of Irish lace. According to royal blog Unofficial Royalty, the accessory was an heirloom that was first introduced to the royal family when Anne-Marie’s grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught, received it as a wedding gift during her nuptials to future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden in 1905. To hold the veil in place, Anne-Marie donned the Khedive of Egypt Tiara, which was another one of her grandmother Margaret’s wedding gifts.

Anne-Marie; born 30 August 1946 as Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark) is a Greek and Danish royal who was the last queen of Greece as the consort of King Constantine II from their marriage on 19 September 1946 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Anne-Marie is the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. In 1964, Anne-Marie married Constantine and became queen consort of Greece. They had five children: Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora, and Prince Philippos. As queen, Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as “Her Majesty Fund” and later as the “Anne-Marie Foundation,” which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece. In 1967, however, the royal family were forced into exile, and Constantine was later deposed as Greece transitioned into a republic.
Anne-Marie is the youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. She is also a first cousin of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and a second cousin of King Harald V of Norway and her husband Constantine were third cousins: they shared King Christian IX of Denmark as patrilineal great-great grandfather. They also shared Queen Victoria as a great-great-grandmother.
Biography -Birth and Family
Princess Anne-Marie was born on 30 August 1946 in Frederick VIII's Palace, an 18th-century palace which forms part of the Amalienborg Palace complex in central Copenhagen. She was the third and last daughter and child of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Ingrid of Denmark. Her father was the eldest son of King Christian X of Denmark and his wife, Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin; her mother, born a Princess of Sweden, was the only daughter of the Crown Prince of Sweden and his late British-born first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught. At birth, Anne-Marie had two elder sisters: Princess Margrethe, the present Queen of Denmark, and Princess Benedikte, who married Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and lives in Germany.
Anne-Marie was baptized on 9 October 1946 in the Holman Church in Copenhagen. Her godparents are the King and Queen of Denmark (paternal grandparents); Crown Prince of Sweden (maternal grandfather), Prince Bertil of Sweden (maternal uncle), the King of Norway (paternal grand-uncle), Prince George of Greece and Denmark, the Crown Princess of Norway (father's first cousin), Queen Mary of the United Kingdom, Princess Dagmar of Denmark (paternal grand-aunt) and the Crown Princess of the Netherlands.
She is a great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, thus a third cousin to the late Queen Elizabeth II and her late husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as well as of King Juan Carlos I of Spain, King Michael I of Romania. Through her mother, Queen Ingrid born princess of Sweden, she is also a first cousin of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and a second cousin to King Harald V. of Norway.
Early Life
Princess Anne-Marie and her sisters grew up in apartments at Frederick VIII's Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen and in Fredensborg Palace in North Zealand. She spent summer holidays with the royal family in her parents' summer residence at Grasten Palace in Southern Jutland. On 20 April 1947, less than a year after Princess Anne-Marie's birth, her grandfather King Christian X died, and her father ascended the throne as King Frederick IX.
At the time of her father's accession to the throne, only males could ascend the throne of Denmark. As Anne-Marie's parents had no sons, it was assumed that her uncle Prince Knud would one day assume the throne. The popularity of Frederick IX and his daughters and the more prominent role of women in Danish life paved the way for a new Act of Succession in 1953 which permitted female succession to the throne following the principle of male-preference primogeniture, where a female can ascend to the throne if she has no brothers. Her eldest sister Margrethe therefore became heir presumptive, and Princess Benedikte and Princess Anne-Marie became second and third in the line of succession.
Anne-Marie was educated at N. Zahle's School, a private school in Copenhagen, from 1952 to 1961. In 1961 she attended the Chatelard School for Girls, an English boarding school outside Montreux in Switzerland. In 1963 and 1964 she attended the Institute Le Mesnil, a Swiss finishing school also in Montreux.
Marriage
In 1959, at the age of thirteen, Anne-Marie first met her future husband, her third cousin Constantine, Crown Prince of Greece, who accompanied his parents, King Paul and Queen Frederica, on a state visit to Denmark. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the marriage of Constantine’s sister Princess Sofia of Greece and Denmark to Prince Juan Carlos of Spain at which Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid: and again in 1963 at the centenary celebrations of the Greek monarchy.
On 6 March 1964, King Paul died, and Constantine succeeded him as King of the Hellenes. In July 1964, the announcement of the engagement of Constantine and Anne-Marie raised the polite protests of the Left in Denmark. Anne-Marie and Constantine were married on 18 September 1964 (two weeks after Anne-Marie’s 18th birthday) in the Metropolis, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Athens. Prior to the wedding, Anne-Marie converted from Lutheranism to the Greek Orthodox Church. Also, in view of the fact that she was marrying a foreign ruler, consent to the marriage was given on the condition that Anne-Marie renounce her succession rights to the Danish throne for herself and her descendants.
Queen of the Hellens
As Queen of Greece, Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as “Her Majesty’s Fund” and later as the “Anne-Marie Foundation,” which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece.
On 10 July, 1965, Queen Anne-Marie gave birth at the villa Mon Repos in Corfu to her first child, Princess Alexis, who was heir presumptive to the throne of Greece, from her birth until the birth of her younger brother Crown Prince Pavlos on 20 May 1967, Greece’s order of succession adhering to male-preference primogeniture.
Exile
In April 1967, Anne-Marie’s husband King Constantine II, after a military coup, swore into office a military junta. In December 1967, the King attempted to shake off the authoritarian regime and tried to stage a counter-coup with the help of certain like-minded people.
The counter-coup failed and Anne-Marie and her family had to flee to Italy. In the aftermath, Anne-Marie miscarried a child.
The family lived for two months in the Greek embassy in Rome and then for the next five years in a house in a suburb of Rome.
In 1973, Anne-Marie moved with her family to England. They lived first in Chobham in Surrey.
Later they moved to the London suburb of Hampstead. The Greek government seized their former private home of Tatoi. It was only after a successful appeal to the European Court of Human Rights that the Greek government were forced to pay compensation for the property. King Constantine used the money obtained to establish the Anna-Maria Foundation, which was established in 2003 to provide aid to victims of natural disasters, including earthquakes and floods, in Greece.
As of 2019 Anne-Marie serves as president of the foundation.
Current Activities
In 1980 Anne-Marie and Constantine founded Hellenic College of London, a bilingual school where her own children were educated. The school closed in 2005.
The government of Greece did not permit Anne-Marie to return to Greece until 1981 when she was allowed to enter Greek territory for several hours to attend the funeral of her mother-in-law, Queen Frederika. She and her family paid a private visit to Greece in 1993.
Since 2003-when a property dispute between her husband Constantine and the government of Greece concluded-Anne-Marie has visited Greece numerous times. In 2013, Constantine returned to reside in Greece. He and his wife Anne-Marie purchased a villa in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese residing there until they relocated to Athens in the spring of 2022.
On 21 May 2004 Anne-Marie was peripherally involved in a dispute in Madrid between former Crown Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Italy and his cousin and dynastic rival Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta. At a party held at the Zarzuela Palace during the wedding celebrations of Felipe, Prince of Asturias, Amedeo approached Vittorio who reportedly punched him twice in the face, causing him to stumble backward down the steps. The quick intervention of Anne-Marie, who propped him up, prevented Amedeo from falling to the ground. She discreetly assisted him indoors while stanching his bleeding facial wounds until first aid was administered. Upon learning of the incident Spain’s King Juan Carlos, a cousin of both men, reportedly declared that “never again” would an opportunity to abuse his hospitality be afforded the competing pretenders.
On 14 August 2004, Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine visited their former home in Athens, the former Royal Palace that is now the Presidential Palace, for the first time since 1967. They received by then-President of Greece Costis Stephanopoulos along with other members of the International Olympic Committee, of which Constantine was an honorary member of. In December 2004, Constantine, Anne-Marie and their children were again invited to pay a personal private visit by President Stephanopoulos.
On 10 January 2023, Anne-Marie was widened when her husband died of a stroke at the private Hygeia Hospital in Athens at the age of 82.

An Ard Ri, even experts in Greek historical and political matters seem to disgree on which side the King was really on after the military coup in 1967. I gave up on this many years ago!
Here's a link to some pictures of the ball:

And here's the contents of that whole website, where you can see other pre-wedding festivities, the engagement ball, the wedding, and so on:
Untitled Document
I think Anne-Marie was beautiful, but I don't like her dress for the pre-wedding ball. The sheer jacket she's wearing over it looks too big and makes it look like the dress is wearing her rather than the other way around.
Maura724, The Engagement Ball pictures are lovely.
I like the Procession to the Wedding photographs of King Constantine and his mother in the open carriage and of Princess Anne-Marie and King Frederik IX in an open landau.
In occasion of premier of film "Grace" the italian magazine Oggi has posted an interesting photos gallery with princess Grace and prince Ranieri. The gallery includes also photos from wedding of king Costantin to princess Anne of Denmark.

Anne Marie's wedding dress is one of my all time favorites. It has all the aspects of a wedding gown that I love: timeless design, simplicity, elegance, and beautiful style. I also love her veil and jewels. Truly a regal and wonderful gown.

The Beauharnais family – unexpected royal conquerors
Joséphine de Beauharnais with her children, Eugène and Hortense. When Emperor Napoleon dissolved his marriage with Joséphine de Beauharnais over her inability to sire an heir for his newly minted imperial throne, it was sufficient to say that her legacy would probably be a tarnished one. Though her beauty had been renowned and her charm was indisputable, she had been put aside by the most powerful man in all of Europe. She perhaps went to her grave four years later believing she had failed in her duty. Ironically, the lineage that Joséphine had felt such pressure to continue would die out prematurely, while her own descendants from her previous marriage made surprisingly advantageous marital alliances with various royal houses of Europe. As it stands today, Napoleon has no surviving legitimate descendants, while Joséphine’s descendants currently occupy the thrones of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Furthermore, two of her grandchildren were consorts to past mo
70th Birthday of HM Queen Anne-Marie of Greece
Her Majesty Queen Anne-Marie of Greece turns seventy on August 30, 2016. The wife of former King Constantine II of Greece, she has led a remarkable life, from her beginnings as a princess of Europe's oldest monarchy to becoming the young queen of a politically unstable kingdom before facing nearly fifty years of exile. Despite such misfortunes, the Queen has drawn comfort from a loving marriage, a happy family life with five children and, later on, nine grandchildren, and the privilege of retaining close family ties to the other reigning houses of Europe. She was born as Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on August 30, 1946 at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, the third and youngest daughter of King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid. Her father was the son of King Christian X, while her mother was the only daughter of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden. Through her mother, Anne-Marie is a great-great-granddaughter of "the grandmother of Europe", Queen Victoria of Great Britain, an

Constantine, the former and last king of Greece who spent decades in exile, died Tuesday. He was 82.
Doctors at the private Hygeia Hospital in Athens confirmed to The Associated Press that Constantine died late Tuesday after treatment in an intensive care unit but had no further details pending an official announcement.
When he rose to the throne as Constantine II 1964 at the age of 23, the youthful monarch who had achieved glory as an Olympic gold medalist in sailing was hugely popular. By the following year he had squandered much of that support with his active involvement in the machinations that brought down the elected Center Union government of Prime Minister George Papandreou.
The episode involving the defection from the ruling party of several lawmakers, still widely known in Greece as the "apostasy," destabilized the constitutional order and led to a military coup in 1967. Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile.
The dictatorship abolished the monarchy in 1973; a referendum after democracy was restored in 1974 dashed any hopes that Constantine had of ever reigning again.
Reduced in the following decades to only fleeting visits to Greece that raised a political and media storm each time, he was able to settle again in his home country in his waning years when opposing his presence no longer held currency as a badge of vigilant republicanism. With minimal nostalgia for the monarchy in Greece, Constantine became a relatively uncontroversial figure.
Constantine was born June 2, 1940, in Athens, to Prince Paul, younger brother to King George II and heir presumptive to the throne, and Princess Frederica of Hanover. His older sister Sophia is the wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain. The Greek-born Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh and husband of the late Queen Elizabeth II, was a relative.
The family, which had ruled in Greece from 1863 apart from a 12-year republican interlude in 1922-1935, was descended from Prince Christian, later Christian IX of Denmark, of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluecksburg branch of the Danish ruling family.
Before Constantine's first birthday, the royal family was forced to flee Greece during the German invasion in World War II, moving to Alexandria in Egypt, South Africa and back to Alexandria. King George II returned to Greece in 1946, following a disputed referendum, but died a few months later, making Constantine the heir to King Paul I.
Constantine was educated at a boarding school and then attended three military academies as well as Athens Law School classes as preparation for his future role. He also competed in various sports, including sailing and karate, in which he held a black belt.
In 1960, at age 20, he and two other Greek sailors won a gold medal in the Dragon Class — now no longer an Olympic class — at the Rome Olympics. While still a prince, Constantine was elected a member of the International Olympic Committee and became an honorary member for life in 1974.
King Paul I died of cancer on March 6, 1964, and Constantine succeeded him, weeks after the Center Union party had triumphed over the conservatives with 53% of the vote.
The prime minister, George Papandreou, and Constantine initially had a very close relationship, but it soon soured over Constantine's insistence that control of the armed forces was the monarch's prerogative.
With many officers toying with the idea of a dictatorship and viewing any non-conservative government as soft on communism, Papandreou wanted to control the ministry of defense and eventually demanded to be appointed defense minister. After an acrimonious exchange of letters with Constantine, Papandreou resigned in July 1965.
Constantine's insistence on appointing a government composed of centrist defectors that won a narrow parliamentary majority on the third try was hugely unpopular. Many viewed him as being manipulated by his scheming mother, dowager Queen Frederica.
"The people don't want you, take your mother and go!" became the rallying cry in the protests that rocked Greece in the summer of 1965.
Eventually, Constantine made a truce of sorts with Papandreou and, with his agreement, appointed a government of technocrats and then a conservative-led government to hold an election in May 1967.
But, with the polls heavily favoring the Center Union and with Papandreou's left-leaning son, Andreas, gaining in popularity, Constantine and his courtiers feared revenge and prepared a coup. They were instead surprised by a coup led by a group of lower-ranking officers who proclaimed a dictatorship on April 21, 1967.
On Dec. 13, 1967, Constantine and his family flew to the northern city of Kavala with the intention of marching on Thessaloniki and setting up a government there. His counter coup, badly managed and infiltrated, collapsed and Constantine was forced to flee to Rome the following day. He would never return as reigning king.
To his final days, Constantine, while accepting that Greece was now a republic, continued to style himself King of Greece and his children as princes and princesses even though Greece no longer recognized titles of nobility.
For most of his years in exile he lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, and was said to be especially close to his second cousin Charles, the Prince of Wales and now King Charles III.
While it took Constantine 14 years to return to his country briefly to bury his mother, Queen Frederica in 1981, his visits increased and, from 2010, made his home there.
He is survived by his wife, the former Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II; five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos; and nine grandchildren.

Constantine, the former and last king of Greece, will be buried as a private citizen in Tatoi, the former summer residence of Greece’s royals and the place where his parents and ancestors are buried, the government said Wednesday.
A controversial figure in Greek history, the former King Constantine II died in a hospital late Tuesday at the age of 82. Greece’s monarchy was definitively abolished in a referendum in 1974, and Constantine spent decades in exile before settling in his home country once more in his waning years.
Decisions on his funeral were announced by the office of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who chaired a Wednesday morning ministerial meeting to discuss the details. The date and location of the funeral service were not immediately determined and will be decided on in collaboration with the former king’s family, the prime minister’s office said.
The government will be represented at the funeral by the culture minister, while “all protocol procedures will be followed for dignitaries from abroad who will attend the funeral,” the announcement said.
Few people in Greece have any nostalgia for the former royal family, but other European royals, many of whom are related to Constantine, are likely to attend his funeral.
His older sister is Sophia, wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain, while the Greek-born Prince Philip, the late husband of Britain’s late Queen Elizabeth II, was an uncle. Constantine was one of the godparents of Prince William, the heir to the British throne.
The family, which had ruled Greece from 1863 apart from a 12-year republican interlude during 1922-1935, was descended from Prince Christian, later King Christian IX of Denmark, of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg branch of the Danish ruling family.
Constantine’s wife, Anne-Marie, is the younger sister of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe. In a statement, the royal palace in Copenhagen said it was “with great sadness” that the queen had learned of Constantine’s death.
“The royal family’s thoughts are currently with H.M. Queen Anne-Marie and the entire Greek family,” the Danish palace said.
An Olympic sailing gold medalist, Constantine was hugely popular when he acceded to the throne in 1964 at the age of 23, but much of that support rapidly waned with his active involvement in the machinations that brought down the elected government of Prime Minister George Papandreou.
The episode involved the defection of several lawmakers from the ruling party, destabilized the constitutional order and led to a military coup in 1967. Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile.
When the dictatorship collapsed in July 1974, Constantine was eager to return to Greece but was advised against it by veteran politician Constantine Karamanlis, who returned from exile to head a civilian government.
After his triumphal win in November elections, Karamanlis called for a plebiscite on the monarchy. Constantine was not allowed in the country to campaign, but the result was unambiguous and widely accepted, with 69.2% of the votes in favor of a republic.
Until his final days, Constantine, while accepting that Greece was now a republic, continued to style himself King of Greece and his children as princes and princesses, even though Greece no longer recognized titles of nobility.
For most of his years in exile he lived in London and was said to be especially close to his second cousin, Charles, now King Charles III.
“The eventful course of former King Constantine marked and was marked by turbulent times in the country’s modern history,” Mitsotakis said in a statement. “By wounds that were however healed by the choices, the free conscience and the maturity of our people. But also by his own discreet, it is true, stance throughout the post-dictatorship years.”
Constantine’s death marked the “formal epilogue of a chapter that had definitively closed with the 1974 referendum,” Mitsotakis said, extending his condolences to the former king’s family. History, he said, “will judge the Constantine of public life fairly and strictly. Because the person Constantine is already accompanied by sadness and respect in the face of the loss of life itself.”
While it was 14 years before Constantine returned to his country, briefly, to bury his mother, Queen Frederica, in 1981, he visited more often thereafter and, from 2010, made his home in Greece.
There were continued disputes: In 1994, the then-socialist government stripped him of his nationality and expropriated what remained of the royal family’s property. Constantine sued at the European Court of Human Rights and was awarded 12 million euros (about $13 million at today’s exchange rates) in 2002, a fraction of the 500 million euros ($535 million) he had sought.
Along with his wife, he is survived by five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos, and nine grandchildren.

The last king of Greece, Constantine II, died late Tuesday night, 100 years after the death of his grandfather, Constantine I, who died on January 11, 1923. Constantine was the last king of the dynasty that began with George I, who succeeded Otto in 1863 and remained king of Greece for the next 50 years.
Constantine was being treated in a private hospital in Athens when he died at the age of 82 after suffering a stroke. He was married to the former queen Anne-Marie of Denmark in 1964 and had five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philip. A mild-mannered, polite and approachable man, Constantine was also one of the protagonists in the maelstrom of political developments in Greece in the 1960s.
He acceded to the throne in 1964 at the age of 23, but the historical changes along with his choices at critical moments of Greece’s history contributed both to his self-exile at the end of 1967, after clashing with the military junta that ruled the country at the time, as well as his defeat in the referendum of 1974. Since then he had lived in Rome, London and, for the last 25 years, in Greece, in the resort town of Porto Heli, southern Greece, and Athens.
A 5-year-old child, dressed in white shirt and shorts, waves his hand. He is on the warship that will take him to Greece, together with his two sisters, Sofia (who would later become queen of Spain) and Irene. It is the first image of the prince, from a small film made in 1946. The last king of Greece was born on Sunday, June 2, 1940 at 5.45 in the afternoon at his parents’ residence, Villa Psychiko, in the namesake suburb of Athens. His birth was announced to the people at about 6 p.m., and was celebrated with “a 101-gun salute from Mount Lycabettus in Athens, Piraeus and the naval stations of Salamis and Poros, the tolling of church bells, the horns of ships in the harbor and the illumination of the capital,” as noted by writer Kostas Stamatopoulos in the book “Diary of Queen Frederica,” published by Kapon Editions.
Constantine was baptized on July 18 in the ceremonial hall of the so-called New Royal Palace on Irodou Attikou Street (which today houses the Presidential Mansion, the official residence of the Greek president). During the first years of his life he did not live in Greece. Shortly before the Germans seized Athens on April 27, 1942, his family and that of his uncle, King George II, along with the administration of Emmanouil Tsouderos, and forces of the Royal Navy and Air Force, fled to Crete. George II remained on the island throughout the Battle of Crete and then fled to Egypt. Paul, Constantine’s father, along with his wife Frederica (previously of Hanover) and their two children, Sofia and Constantine, were evacuated to Egypt on April 30, 1941. They returned to Greece two years later.
The return
King George II returned to Greece following a plebiscite in 1946 that preserved the monarchy after the war. The royal family was reunited in Elefsis. Constantine, Sofia and Irene arrived in Greece a few days later. The first image that little Constantine saw as they approached the harbor was the Hellenic Naval Academy. The facade of the building had the sign of a crown and, according to the stories of the time, the child thought that these were the royal palaces. Just six months after his return, on April 1, 1947, King George II died of cardiac arrest. He was only 57. As he had no children of his own, Constantine’s father became king, making Constantine the crown prince.
Greece was at a crucial turning point in its civil war, which followed Greece’s liberation from German occupation. The British had handed over the responsibility of foreign aid to the Americans to prevent Greece from slipping behind the Iron Curtain.
The Cold War had just begun. The Greek throne served as a guarantee to foreign powers that the state which emerged from the breakup of the Ottoman Empire would operate according to rudimentary Western standards and not collapse into discord and anarchy. King Paul and Queen Frederica had to adapt this model to their time and they did. They played a catalytic role in promoting stable Greek-American cooperation, both during the civil war and in the years that followed. The palace and the American Embassy formed the stable axis on which political life revolved for the next 20 years – from 1947 to 1967. On the day of King George II’s death, Constantine became the crown prince and attended his uncle’s funeral, holding his father’s hand. King Paul I and the new royal family moved into the New Royal Palace.
The Greek throne was always viewed by foreign powers as a guarantee that the state which emerged from the breakup of the Ottoman Empire would operate according to rudimentary Western standards
The royal family underestimated the fact that the monarchy was on shaky political and historical ground. Today, only the portrait of Constantine I has remained in its original position. It is located at the end of the grand staircase, on the first floor of the Presidential Palace, as a historical “postscript,” a reminder of a certain time or perhaps as an enigma. The portrait of Constantine I still “observes” the occupants of the Presidential Palace. So far, no one has decided to remove the portrait of a king who played an important role in the National Schism – a series of disagreements between King Constantine I and Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos regarding Greece’s foreign policy in the period of 1910-1922 – who was loved and hated, who is buried in the grounds of the former palace of Tatoi, and whose impressive statue dominates the Pedion tou Areos park in central Athens. The portrait may still be in its original place but the monarchy has long become part of the country’s past. What factors led to such an impressive historical upheaval?
Konstantinos Karamanlis
As soon as Prime Minister Alexandros Papagos died in 1955, King Paul invited Konstantinos Karamanlis, then minister of public works and an MP for Serres, to form a government. The 1952 Constitution included a provision stating that “the king appoints and dismisses the prime minister and his ministers,” which enabled the monarch, with a rather loose interpretation of that provision, to “appoint” the prime minister he wanted.
Ten years later, in July 1965, the young King Constantine II decided to invoke the same constitutional provision which his father had used to choose Karamanlis, to install Stefanos Stefanopoulos as prime minister – a man his father had pushed aside in 1955. Stefanopoulos formed the infamous government of the defectors (a group of lawmakers who had defected from the ruling centrist government, an event still widely known in Greece as the “apostasy”), which eventually ended up being headed by caretaker premier, Panagiotis Kanellopoulos.
King Constantine’s decision to emulate his father’s action couldn’t possibly be simply the result of coincidence. It expressed perhaps a psychological urge for the son to prove to himself and others that he was worthy of his father, but also a palace mentality of interventions in the “flow of history.” It was a belief that the blue-blooded are supposed to have the “divine privilege” to intervene. But Constantine did not have the experience, the suspicion or the cynicism to understand the changes that were taking place, to act strategically, to think coldly. He was not arrogant, but he had the recklessness of youth and probably also the certainty of privileged children that no matter what happens they will remain the “chosen” ones. How did a young man with no apparent bad intentions manage to lose the crown just a few years after the monarchy had completed a century in Greece?
The clock started ticking for the monarchy when relations with Karamanlis, the natural leader of the right-wing National Radical Union (ERE), started souring. The stability of the Greek monarchy had always been dependent on the right and, of course, the Great Powers. Kanellopoulos – after the electoral defeat of 1963, the assumption of power by Georgios Papandreou’s Center Union, and Karamanlis’ self-imposed exile in Paris – had taken over the leadership of ERE, the party founded by Karamanlis as the successor party of the Greek Rally. Another useful detail is that Karamanlis did not leave for Paris after the electoral defeat of his party, but in June 1963, after his clash with the palace, following an intense disagreement over the official visit of Queen Frederica to London.
The ‘trivial’ reason
Frederica wanted the trip to go ahead and Paul agreed, but Karamanlis insisted that it be called off, arguing that on a previous visit to London two months earlier, the queen and her daughter Sofia had been lambasted as they came out of Claridge’s Hotel by a group of half a dozen protesters and the wife of Antonis Abatielos, a dockworker and communist union chief, who was under arrest in Greece at the time. Karamanlis later recounted how Constantine stopped him on the palace steps and demanded why he was going against his father’s will. “I speak with the king. You stay out of it,” Karamanlis responded as he stormed away from what would become the Presidential Mansion he presided over some 20 years later. Constantine said that no one at the palace could understand why this tiff had meant so much to Karamanlis. There had, of course, already been some friction over Princess Sofia’s dowry when she married Juan Carlos of Spain in 1962 and about the palace’s spending of public money. He eventually concluded that Karamanlis had been looking for a reason to quit in 1963, under pressure from growing popular discontent and the negative climate resulting from the two-year political battle with Georgios Papandreou, who refused to accept the result of the 1961 elections and insisted they were the result of voter intimidation and election fraud.
King at 24
Constantine had met Anne-Marie, the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark, in Copenhagen in 1959 and they were engaged in the Danish capital in January 1963. Their arrival in Athens was marked by a reception at the palace and a visit to the Acropolis. Constantine was in no rush to become king. He wanted to study at Harvard and work at the United Nations and had told his father that he wanted to spend six months a year in the United States and the other six months in Greece. All that changed, however, when an Evangelismos Hospital surgeon informed the royal family that King Paul had been diagnosed with cancer.
Frederica was in the United States at the time and flew right back when she heard the news. Two British doctors were flown in to assist their Greek colleagues with the surgery, which was carried out at the royal summer residence of Tatoi, where an operating theater had been set up for the purpose. The surgery went well, but the king suffered a setback a few days later. The miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary was sent from the island of Tinos, but the king died on March 6, 1964. His final words, according to his son, were, “Tell the Greek people I love them and thank them.”
Constantine called Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou to inform him of his father’s passing. “Your Majesty, you must be sworn in without further delay,” Papandreou responded.
At the ceremony, the newly enthroned king addressed the Greek people, vowing to serve the nation and to protect the independent institutions of the republic with ceaseless vigilance. His marriage to Anne-Marie took place six months later, on September 18, 1964.
This is the first of a four-part series on Greece’s former king Constantine II, who died on Tuesday night, aged 82.

Former King Constantine II of Greece has passed away at the age of 82. The Greek royal’s doctors announced on Tuesday, Jan. 10, that he died in Athens at a private hospital, according to the Associated Press .
The Associated Press confirmed that Constantine II, who was one of Prince William ’s godparents and an Olympic gold medalist, passed away following “treatment in an intensive care unit.” Royal Central reported on Jan. 6 that King Felipe of Spain’s uncle was in the hospital and in “critical condition” after suffering a stroke.
Constantine, who was the only son of King Paul I and Queen Frederica, was born on June 2, 1940 in Athens. He acceded to the throne following his father’s death in 1964. Constantine was the last King of Greece. The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973.
The late royal is the brother of Queen Sofia of Spain and Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark. He was also related to King Charles III’s father Prince Philip. The late Duke of Edinburgh’s father, Prince Andrew, was a younger brother of Constantine’s grandfather, King Constantine I.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth last year, Constantine II’s eldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos, wrote on Instagram, “I also am so very thankful for the kindness HM gave to my parents and family in times of need.”

Former king of Greece Constantine II released a statement of condolences following the death of Prince Philip, his first cousin once removed.
He told Associated Press: “Prince Philip was a remarkable man who dedicated his entire life to duty and service for his country and the Commonwealth. My sorrow is even deeper because of our close family ties. He will be deeply missed by all of us. He was a man of great character who will be remembered for his forward-thinking, sharp wit and his constant encouraging support to Queen Elizabeth II.”
The former king and Prince Philip, two Greek-born royals, are descendants of King George I of Greece who was also Greek-born and raised.
Constantine, of the house of Glücksburg, became king at the age of 23 when his father King Paul of Greece died of cancer in 1964. He married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, the sister of the Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
In June 1973, Constantine was condemned as an enemy of the Greek people by the dictatorial government. In May of that year, a Royal coup was staged by the officers of the majority royalist navy which was in name only. It should be noted that Constantine was not involved in the planning or initiation of the countercoup and not one life was lost in that event.

George Papadopoulos was the Greek head of the military coup d’état that took power in Greece on 21 April 1967.
On 1 June 1973, Papadopoulos abolished the monarchy and declared Greece a republic with himself as president. He was confirmed in office via a controversial referendum. He sought the support of the old political establishment but secured only the cooperation of Spiros Markezinis, who became prime minister.
In more recent times, Constantine, his wife and their children have been allowed to return to Greece where they now live after 40 years in exile. Matters pertaining to the rights of ‘Greek nationals’ pursuant to long settled Greek law is very relevant in this regard but that is for another time.

Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark was born August 30, 1946, at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, Denmark, the youngest of the three daughters of the future King Frederik IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden, daughter of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden, and his first wife Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden, born Princess Margaret of Connaught, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria At the time of her birth, Anne-Marie’s grandfather King Christian X was King of Denmark.
Anne-Marie has two elder siblings:
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark (born 1940), married Count Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, had two sons
Princess Benedikte of Denmark (born 1944), married Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, had one son and two daughters

The princess was christened Anne-Marie Dagmar Ingrid on August 30, 1946, at the Holmen Church in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her godparents were:
King Christian X of Denmark, her paternal grandfather
Queen Alexandrine of Denmark, her paternal grandmother, born Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden, later King Gustav VI Adolf, her maternal grandfather
Prince Bertil of Sweden, her maternal uncle
King Haakon VII of Norway, her paternal first cousin once removed
Prince George of Greece and Denmark, her first cousin twice removed
Crown Princess Märtha of Norway. born Märtha of Sweden, her maternal first cousin once removed
Queen Mary of the United Kingdom, wife of her paternal and maternal first cousin twice removed, born Prince Victoria Mary of Teck
Princess Dagmar of Denmark, her paternal great-aunt
Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, later Queen Juliana of the Netherlands
Before Anne-Marie’s first birthday occurred, her grandfather died and her father became King of Denmark. Her childhood was spent in three family homes – Amalienborg Palace, Graasten Palace, and Fredensborg Castle. From 1952 – 1961, Anne-Marie attended Zahle’s Skole, a private school in Copenhagen, the same school her sisters attended. In 1961, she spent a year at an English boarding school in Switzerland, the Chatelard School for Girls. From 1963 – 1964, Anne-Marie attended a Swiss finishing school, Institut Le Mesnil, to improve her French. She also speaks English and Danish and learned Greek after her marriage.
Anne-Marie first met Crown Prince Constantine of Greece in 1959, when he visited Copenhagen on a trip with his parents, King Paul I and Queen Frederica of Greece. Anne-Marie met him again in Denmark in 1961 and Constantine declared to his parents that he intended to marry her. In 1962, Constantine’s elder sister Sophia married Prince Juan Carlos of Spain in Athens, Greece. Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid and Queen Frederica noted that at the reception, her son “would dance only with Anne-Marie.” It was at that wedding that Constantine and Anne-Marie realized that they were falling in love. Constantine proposed during a sailing holiday in Norway, but the engagement announcement was postponed for six months because of Anne-Marie’s young age. In March 1964, King Paul I died and Constantine succeeded his father as King Constantine II.

Six months after his accession, on September 18, 1964, Constantine married 18-year-old Anne-Marie in a lavish ceremony in Athens. Upon marriage, she became Queen of the Hellenes and relinquished her place in the line of succession to the Danish throne. Prior to the wedding, Anne-Marie converted to Greek Orthodoxy. Anne-Marie and Constantine are third cousins twice, sharing both King Christian IX of Denmark and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom as common ancestors.
Unofficial Royalty: Wedding of King Constantine II of Greece and Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark
Anne-Marie and Constantine had five children:
Princess Alexia, born 1965 at Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece; married Carlos Morales Quintana, had four children
Crown Prince Pavlos, born 1967 at Tatoi Palace, Greece; married Marie-Chantal Miller, had five children
Prince Nikolaos, born 1969 in Rome, Italy; married Tatiana Elinka Blatnik
Princess Theodora, born 1983 in London, England
Prince Philippos, born 1986 in London, England; married Nina Flohr
As Queen, Anne-Marie established “Her Majesty’s Fund” to provide aid to people in rural areas throughout Greece. Unfortunately, her tenure as Queen did not last very long. Following a coup in 1967, the Greek royal family went into exile, living in Rome for several years before moving to Denmark and then finally settling in the United Kingdom. While in exile, King Constantine was deposed and the monarchy was formally abolished in 1974.
Anne-Marie, with her husband, established the Hellenic College of London in 1980, a Greek boarding school that her younger children attended. The following year, they were permitted to return to Greece for the funeral and burial of Queen Frederika, however, they were made to leave immediately afterward. In 2003, following reimbursement by the Greek government for properties seized from the royal family, the Anna-Maria Foundation was established with the funds from the reimbursement. Constantine had stated that whatever amount the court ordered would be donated in its entirety for the creation of a foundation so the funds would be returned to the Greek people. The foundation, of which Queen Anne-Marie is president, provides aid and assistance to victims of natural disasters in Greece. The settlement of the property dispute also allowed Anne-Marie and Constantine to visit Greece and purchase a summer home in Portocheli, Peloponnese, Greece. In 2013, former King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie permanently returned to reside in Greece.
Anne-Marie’s husband King Constantine II, the former King of Greece, died at Hygeia Hospital in Athens, Greece on January 10, 2023, at the age of 82. He had been admitted to the intensive care unit at the hospital a couple of days earlier due to a stroke.

King Constantine II of Greece was the King of Greece (styled King of the Hellenes) from 1964 until the monarchy was abolished in 1973. He was born on June 2, 1940, at Villa Psychiko, in the suburbs of Athens, Greece. His parents were King Paul of Greece and Princess Frederica of Hanover, both descendants of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter Victoria, Princess Royal who married Friedrich III, German Emperor.
Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom → Victoria, Princess Royal (married Friedrich III, German Emperor) → Princess Sophie of Prussia (married King Constantine I of Greece) → King Paul I of Greece (Princess Frederica of Hanover) → King Constantine II of Greece
Queen Victoria → Victoria, Princess Royal (married Friedrich III, German Emperor) → Wilhelm II, German Emperor (married Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein) → Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia (married Ernst August of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick) → Princess Frederica of Hanover (married King Paul of Greece) → King Constantine II of Greece
Constantine had an elder and a younger sister:
Princess Sophia (born 1938), married King Juan Carlos of Spain, had three children
Princess Irene of Greece (born 1942), unmarried
In April of 1941, during World War II, Germany and Italy invaded Greece and Constantine’s family was forced to flee. The family lived in Alexandria, Egypt, and Cape Town, South Africa before returning to Greece in 1946. King George II of Greece, Constantine’s uncle, died childless in 1947, so Constantine’s father became King and Constantine became Crown Prince.
From 1949 – 1955, Crown Prince Constantine attended the Classical Lyceum Anavryton in Athens. The school was based on the educational principles of Kurt Hahn and modeled on the schools that Hahn created, Salem School in Germany and Gordonstoun School in Scotland. Attending the school gave Constantine the opportunity to associate with other children, many of whom became his life-long friends. Constantine participated in hockey, volleyball, and high jump, acted in school plays, and became Head Boy.
While still in school, Constantine attended military training on weekends and after graduating, he attended all three Greek military academies: Evelpidon Military Academy, Hellenic Naval Academy, and Hellenic Air Force Academy. In 1960, Constantine went to the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens to study law.
In 1960, Constantine became one of the royal Olympian medal winners. In the 1960 Rome Summer Olympics, Constantine won a Gold Medal in Sailing: Mixed Three Person Keel/Dragon Class, the first Greek Gold Medal since the 1912 Stockholm Summer Olympics.
In late February 1964, King Paul had surgery for stomach cancer but died soon afterward on March 6, 1964, and Constantine became king at the age of 23. That same evening, the devastated new king swore his oath before the Greek Parliament and his younger sister Irene was recognized as his successor until he married and had children. His elder sister Sofia had converted from Greek Orthodoxy to Roman Catholicism when she married Juan Carlos of Spain and therefore had relinquished her rights to the Greek throne.
Later that year, King Constantine married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark. He had first met his future bride in 1959 when she was 13 years old and he was accompanying his parents on a state visit to Denmark. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. In 1962, Anne-Marie served as a bridesmaid at the wedding of King Constantine’s sister Sofia and Juan Carlos of Spain. It was at that wedding that Constantine and Anne-Marie realized that they were falling in love. Constantine proposed during a sailing holiday in Norway, but the engagement announcement was postponed for six months because of Anne-Marie’s young age. They were married on September 18, 1964, two weeks after Anne-Marie’s 18th birthday, in a Greek Orthodox ceremony at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens.

King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie had five children:
Princess Alexia, born 1965 at Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece; married Carlos Morales Quintana, had four children
Crown Prince Pavlos, born 1967 at Tatoi Palace, Greece; married Marie-Chantal Miller, had five children
Prince Nikolaos, born 1969 in Rome, Italy; married Tatiana Elinka Blatnik
Princess Theodora, born 1983 in London, England
Prince Philippos, born 1986 in London, England; married Nina Flohr

On April 21, 1967, a coup d’état led by a group of army colonels took over Greece. A military junta ruled Greece from 1967 – 1974. For more information see Wikipedia: Greek military junta of 1967–74 On December 13, 1967, King Constantine attempted a counter-coup against the military junta which failed, and King Constantine and his family had to flee to Italy. The family lived for two months in the Greek embassy and then for the next five years in a house in a suburb of Rome. King Constantine remained the head of state in exile until June 1, 1973, when the junta abolished the monarchy. In 1974, after the fall of the junta, a referendum by the Greek people confirmed the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Third Hellenic Republic.
In 1973, the family moved to England, living first in Chobham, Surrey, and later in the London suburb of Hampstead. The Greek government did not permit King Constantine to return to Greece until 1981 when he was allowed to enter Greece for several hours to attend the funeral of his mother Queen Frederica. King Constantine and his family paid a private visit to Greece in 1993. After 2003, when a property dispute between Constantine and the Greek government was settled, Constantine and his family were able to make visits to Greece and purchase a summer home there. In 2013, former King Constantine II permanently returned to reside in Greece.
King Constantine was a close friend of his second cousin King Charles III of the United Kingdom, and a godfather of Prince William, The Prince of Wales. William, in turn, is a godfather of one of King Constantine’s grandchildren, Prince Constantine Alexios, the eldest son of Crown Prince Pavlos. As a descendant of Queen Victoria, King Constantine was related to a number of European royals and was regularly invited to royal functions.
King Constantine II, the former King of Greece, died at Hygeia Hospital in Athens, Greece on January 10, 2023, at the age of 82. He had been admitted to the intensive care unit at the hospital a couple of days earlier. His funeral, attended by many royal guests, was held at the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Annunciation in Athens, Greece, followed by the burial at the Royal Cemetery on the grounds of Tatoi Palace, the former summer palace of the Greek royal family, near Athens, Greece.

Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Prince William pulled out of a memorial service at Windsor Castle on Tuesday for his godfather, King Constantine II of Greece who died last month, citing a "personal matter" for the last-minute cancellation.
Queen Camilla represented the House of Windsor royals, standing in for both the prince, who was due to give a reading, and King Charles who is undergoing treatment for cancer.

William informed the Greek side of the family in a phone call early Tuesday.
The prince has been performing public duties and engagements on his father's behalf since his cancer diagnosis after being absent from royal duties for almost a month himself, supporting his wife, Kate, princess of Wales, who is recovering from major abdominal surgery in January.
Kensington Palace, the Wales' official residence, was quick to quash any suggestion her condition may have taken a turn for the worse, issuing a statement saying her recovery at home progressing as expected and that she was "doing well."
The memorial service in St. George's Chapel, where the late Queen Elizabeth II is interred, is to honor the last king of Greece, a second cousin of Charles and a close friend.

Thousands turned out for his Jan. 16 funeral in Athens' Metropolitan Cathedral where his widow, Anna-Maria, son, former Crown Prince Pavlos, sister, Spain's former Queen Sofia, sister-in-law Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Princess Anne were the chief mourners.
Constantine was deposed in a military coup in 1967 leading to a brutal six-year military dictatorship until a people's revolt leading to the establishment of a republic forced him into a four-decade-long exile in London.
The Greek government banned him and his family from entering the country unless he renounced all rights to the throne due to his refusal to formally recognize the 1974 referendum that abolished the monarchy.
After a series of tentative visits beginning in 1993, Constantine eventually moved back to Greece in 2013 where he lived in Porto Cheli in the Peloponnese before moving to Athens in 2023 where he died at the age of 82.

These days, we’re used to royal weddings with a Cinderella angle: a prince or princess selects a commoner as a spouse, vaulting a person from a normal background into a world of crowns, thrones, and glamour. But in 1964, a royal wedding took place in Greece that hearkened back to the old dynastic world of royal marriages. Fifty years ago today, the newly-ascended King Constantine II of the Hellenes gave his country a new queen when he married his third cousin, Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark. As you can imagine, this was one seriously glittering affair.
Constantine was twenty-three; he’s the only son of King Paul of the Hellenes and Princess Friederike of Hanover. His sisters are Sofia, who had married the future king of Spain two years earlier, and Irene, a Greek princess who is also a classically-trained pianist. Anne-Marie, the daughter of King Frederik IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden, had just turned eighteen. She was the youngest of a trio of Danish princesses; her sisters are Margrethe (now the Queen of Denmark) and Benedikte (now the Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg). Constantine and Anne-Marie are both descendants of two of the most important dynastic monarchs of the nineteenth century: Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and King Christian IX of Denmark.
The young couple had to wait until Anne-Marie turned eighteen to wed. Two days before the wedding, a glittering pre-wedding gala was held in Athens. More than 1500 guests attended, including numerous royals. It was the first time that Anne-Marie wore Greek royal jewels in public. She donned the tiara from the Greek emerald parure. From the diamond necklace from her paternal grandmother’s collection, she suspended the brooch from the emerald parure as a pendant. She also wore a pair of the emerald drops as earrings.
The couple’s mothers also wore serious jewels at the ball. Queen Friederike wore the grand diamond tiara that had belonged to her mother-in-law, Queen Sophie; she also wore the enormous sapphire pendant that had once been worn by Queen Marie of Romania. Queen Ingrid wore her heirloom ruby set, part of which was worn at the imperial coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte. Today, the rubies are worn by Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.
For copyright reasons, I can’t post pictures of the pre-wedding ball here, but I can tell you about some of the other tiaras that also appeared at the glittering gathering. Marie Jose, the former queen of Italy, wore her grand diamond tiara by Musy. Queen Juliana of the Netherlands wore the Stuart tiara. Queen Fabiola of the Belgians wore the tiara given to her by Generalissimo Franco in its floral wreath form. The Countess of Barcelona wore the diamond loop tiara. Queen Sofia of Spain, then still Princess Sofia, wore her diamond wedding tiara. Princess Claude d’Orleans, who had married Prince Amedeo of Savoy only weeks earlier, wore the family’s diamond tiara with stars and Aosta knots. Can you imagine what it must have been like to stand in that ballroom?!?
On her wedding day, Anne-Marie wore a tiara from her own family’s collection. The diamond Cartier tiara, given by the Khedive of Egypt to Princess Margaret of Connaught as a wedding present in 1905, has been worn as a wedding tiara by all of the female descendants of Queen Ingrid. Anne-Marie eventually inherited the tiara from her mother. With her wedding gown and veil — another heirloom of Margaret of Connaught — Anne-Marie also wore a necklace with a cross pendant and her gold bracelet, another trinket worn by all of Ingrid’s daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters.
The new queen’s wedding dress was Danish, made by Jorgen Bender. I believe Bender also made the dresses for Anne-Marie’s bridesmaids: Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, Princess Christina of Sweden, Princess Anne of the United Kingdom, Princess Margarita of Romania, Princess Tatiana Radziwiłł, and Princess Clarissa of Hesse.
The Greek orthodox wedding ceremony was held at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Athens. Golden wedding crowns held over the couple’s head form a central part of the ceremony. Queen Friederike held the crowns; so did a number of European princes, including Crown Prince Harald of Norway (now King Harald V), Prince Carl Gustaf of Sweden (now King Carl XVI Gustaf), Prince Michael of Kent, and the Prince of Wales. At the wedding, Queen Ingrid wore the Danish pearls; Queen Friederike wore a diamond necklace with a large pendant stone. Here’s a view of the group photo taken after the ceremony.
Fifty years, five children, and the end of the Greek monarchy later, Constantine and Anne-Marie are still married, living in Athens. This week, they’ve been celebrating their golden anniversary with family members in Greece. Congrats to them!

There were some heartbreaking scenes as King Constantine's family laid him to rest in a funeral service in Athens on Monday.
Leading the mourners – which included a number of prominent European royals – was his wife of 58 years, Anne-Marie, who looked understandably devastated at the loss of her husband.
WATCH: Royal love stories: How did these couples meet?
The couple got engaged in 1962 when she was 16; her father King Frederick IX of Denmark was initially hesitant about giving his blessing given her age. He asked the couple to keep their engagement secret until she had finished her education and turned 18.
In January 1963, the Danish royal court announced the couple's plans to marry.

During their long marriage, they welcomed five children together. Constantine and Anne-Marie were the last of the Greek monarchs; the monarchy was abolished in June 1973, nine years after Constantine became king.

The pair were devoted with each other – as evidenced by Anne-Marie's moving tribute to her husband at his funeral.
The couple were happily married for 58 years
Her wreath was comprised of lilies of the valley, the same flowers that were used for her wedding bouquet in 1964. And the attached card revealed her final words to her husband: "Your beloved Anna-Maria."

Poignantly, she also wore the same diamond cross pendant that she wore at her wedding.
Anne-Marie was clearly heartbroken at the funeral for her husband
The couple were married in a Greek Orthodox ceremony on 18 September 1964 in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens. The couple exchanged vows in front of 1,200 guests, including King Charles, before enjoying a reception at the Royal Palace.
Her bouquet for Constantine
In a nod to her Danish heritage, Anne-Marie rocked a wedding dress by Danish designer Jorgen Bender, complete with cropped sleeves and an empire line waist and a 20-foot train. She teamed it with a diamond tiara belonging to her mother and a lace veil from her grandmother Margaret. Meanwhile, the King wore his white uniform.
Three years later, Constantine was forced into exile after clashing with military rulers.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece wore a poignant piece of jewelry to the funeral of her late husband King Constantine II.
The Queen, 76, led the group of mourners who gathered for the funeral of King Constantine, who died last Tuesday at age 82. Constantine had reportedly suffered from chronic heart and mobility problems and died of a stroke after being hospitalized for breathing problems, according to The Guardian.
The King was laid to rest in Athens on Monday, where his widow wore the same diamond cross necklace she debuted on their wedding day. Constantine married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in September 1964, and the royals celebrated their 58th-anniversary last fall.
Constantine became King in 1964 at age 23 following the death of his father King Paul and married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark months later.
Constantine, who won a gold medal in sailing for his country at the 1960 Olympics, acceded the throne weeks after a vote gave control to the Center Union party over the conservatives, the Associated Press reported. Constantine later had a falling out with Prime Minister George Papandreou over control of the armed forces that led to a coup in 1967, driving him and his family to flee to Rome.
The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, but Constantine continued to use royal titles for himself and his family members. He lived most of his years in exile in Hampstead Garden Suburb in London, returning to live in Greece in 2010.
He is survived by his wife Queen Anne-Marie, their five children — Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos — and nine grandchildren, the Associated Press reported.
In the ever-connected European royal family tree, Prince Philip was first cousins with King Constantine, and Princess Anne (pictured below left) served as a bridesmaid at his wedding to Queen Anne-Marie. Princess Anne, 73, attended Constantine's funeral in Athens on Monday, standing in for her brother King Charles III. Likewise, Lady Gabriella Windsor was at the solemn service in Prince William's stead.
It is customary for senior royals in Britain to send relatives or close friends and aides to funerals on their behalf. The late Queen Elizabeth only rarely attended funerals. King Charles appears to be following the same custom and sending a family member instead.
Constantine's funeral was somewhat of a reunion for world royals. Prince Albert of Monaco was among the mourners joining royals from all over Europe paying tribute to Constantine. King Felipe and his wife Queen Letizia were also in attendance, as was Queen Margrethe of Denmark, the late King's sister-in-law.
Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were among the congregation along with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, as well as Prince Haakon of Norway and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.

Pictures of Anne-Marie getting dressed before the wedding with her mother and sisters. Margrethe is in blue and Benedikte is in red. I love these photos - it just seems so ordinary for a bride to be sitting with her family right before the ceremony as she puts on the finishing touches.
(originally posted on the Royal Weddings Message Board)
Here's a link to some pictures of the ball:

And here's the contents of that whole website, where you can see other pre-wedding festivities, the engagement ball, the wedding, and so on:

I think Anne-Marie was beautiful, but I don't like her dress for the pre-wedding ball. The sheer jacket she's wearing over it looks too big and makes it look like the dress is wearing her rather than the other way around.

I agree.
I think the dress would be very beautiful though if it didn't have the jacket.
Actually, this wedding should be under Weddings of Members of Reigning Houses for the simple reason that when the event took place, the groom was King and the bride princess within a monarchy.
The argument doubles, in fact, because even though the Greek Monarchy is now defunct, Denmark continues to be a kingdom.
that wedding deserve to be called the wedding of the century because i dont think they have been a wedding equivalent to this one you could say diana but end up in divorce or king of sweden but at that time he was affraid to make A GRAND wedding since politician were thinking about abolishing the monarchy and omg 18 to be marry thats like re=establish the whole victorian system of marry at young age
It is with the greatest pleasure that I finally took up some time to felicitate your site on the fine material it provides to its readers. This couple was and remains a marvel, a comment that I would like to extend to this marvelous era that has long gone. Seeing Athens in September 1964 and Athens in January 2011 may be quite painful to some of us, may I dare to state that the 1964 Athens belonged to a different planet or will it sound like an overstatement? Some or the readers will understand my point. I was also totally touched by watching this video for one more reason and this reason is Queen Ingrid of Danemark. By all means, my favorite Queen of all times. Thank you TRF for the opportunity of some glimpses at the Dream, the royal past as that should be called.
Anne Marie looked stunning! Her gown was beautiful and simple.
I was bound to believe in fairytales again then and there when I watched it,Tino and Anne Marie.It was one of the grand Royal weddings of the 60's,and I recall them all,starting with Princess Alexandra and Angus Ogylvie,King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola...oh heck...or was that the other way 'round...I watched it and I recall each vividly!.
Does anybody have any better shots of the guests? What about the full official photo? I've only seen it in a tiny form, I'd love to see it in a better size.
It seems that Grace attended the pre-wedding dinner, but missed the wedding ceremony.

I really hope I am not going against the forum policy, but I visited a site called "Glittering Royal Events" and there are a huge number of photos. You don't see them on the message board part, but the main part.
Mods: if I am breaking a rule, please delete, I am a newbie at computer stuff

Happy 53rd Anniversary to King Constantine and Queen Anne Marie of Greece, who got married on this day in 1964! Princess Anne Marie of Denmark was just 13 when she met the then Crown Prince of Greece. Two years later, the couple had fallen in love and gotten engaged, marrying just weeks after her 18th Birthday and a few months after his accession to the throne. The couple have five children and ruled Greece for only three years before spending over 40 years in exile. Recently, the King and Queen have returned to Greece, where they reside in a villa in Porto Heli. In honour of their Anniversary, we are featuring their wedding below-
In the days leading up to the Wedding, there was a Farewell Dinner and a Gala in Copenhagen, as well as a Pre-Wedding Dinner in Athens, and the spectacular Wedding Ball at the Royal Palace of Athens, with Royal Guests and Relatives from around Europe.

The next day, King Constantine rode with his mother, Queen Frederica, while Princess Anne Marie arrived with her father, King Frederick.

The wedding ceremony took place at the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Annunciation in Athens, and was performed by Archbishop Chrysostomos, the Primate of Greece.

The bridesmaids included Princess Anne of the United Kingdom, Princess Christina of Sweden, Princess Irene of Greece, Princess Margareta of Romania, Princess Tatiana Radziwill, and Princess Clarissa of Hesse.

King Constantine wore his white Field Marshal’s uniform with the sash of the Greek Order of the Redeemer, the stars and collar of his other orders, and his medals. Queen Anne Marie wore a simple gown by Danish designer Jørgen Bender with Princess Margaret of Connaught’s Irish lace veil and the Khedive of Egypt Tiara, which has been worn by all of Queen Ingrid’s female descendants and was inherited by Queen Anne Marie in 2000.

ATHENS, Greece — Constantine, the former and last king of Greece, who won an Olympic gold medal before becoming entangled in his country’s volatile politics in the 1960s as king and spent decades in exile, has died. He was 82.
Doctors at the private Hygeia Hospital in Athens confirmed to The Associated Press that Constantine died late Tuesday after treatment in an intensive care unit but had no further details pending an official announcement.
When he acceded to the throne as Constantine II in 1964 at the age of 23, the youthful monarch, who had already achieved glory as an Olympic gold medalist in sailing, was hugely popular. By the following year he had squandered much of that support with his active involvement in the machinations that brought down the elected Center Union government of prime minister George Papandreou.
The episode involving the defection from the ruling party of several lawmakers, still widely known in Greece as the “apostasy,” destabilized the constitutional order and led to a military coup in 1967. Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile.
The dictatorship abolished the monarchy in 1973, while a referendum after democracy was restored in 1974 dashed any hopes that Constantine had of ever reigning again.
Reduced in the following decades to only fleeting visits to Greece that raised a political and media storm each time, he was able to settle again in his home country in his waning years when opposing his presence no longer held currency as a badge of vigilant republicanism. With minimal nostalgia for the monarchy in Greece, Constantine became a relatively uncontroversial figure.
Constantine was born June 2, 1940 in Athens, to Prince Paul, younger brother to King George II and heir presumptive to the throne, and princess Frederica of Hanover. His older sister Sophia is the wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain. The Greek-born Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh and husband of the late Queen Elizabeth II, was an uncle.
The family, which had ruled in Greece from 1863 apart from a 12-year republican interlude between 1922-1935, was descended from Prince Christian, later Christian IX of Denmark, of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg branch of the Danish ruling family.
Before Constantine’s first birthday, the royal family was forced to flee Greece during the German invasion in World War II, moving to Alexandria in Egypt, South Africa and back to Alexandria. King George II returned to Greece in 1946, following a disputed referendum, but died a few months later, making Constantine the heir to King Paul I.
Constantine was educated at a boarding school and then attended three military academies as well as Athens Law School classes as preparation for his future role. He also competed in various sports, including sailing and karate, in which he held a black belt.
In 1960, aged 20, he and two other Greek sailors won a gold medal in the Dragon Class — now no longer an Olympic class — at the Rome Olympics. While still a prince, Constantine was elected a member of the International Olympic Committee and became an honorary member for life in 1974.
King Paul I died of cancer on March 6, 1964 and Constantine succeeded him, weeks after the Center Union party had triumphed over the conservatives with 53% of the vote.
The prime minister, George Papandreou, and Constantine initially had a very close relationship, but it soon soured over Constantine’s insistence that control of the armed forces was the monarch’s prerogative.
With many officers toying with the idea of a dictatorship and viewing any non-conservative government as soft on communism, Papandreou wanted to control the ministry of defense and eventually demanded to be appointed defense minister. After an acrimonious exchange of letters with Constantine, Papandreou resigned in July 1965.
Constantine’s insistence on appointing a government composed of centrist defectors that won a narrow parliamentary majority on the third try was hugely unpopular. Many viewed him as being manipulated by his scheming mother, dowager Queen Frederica.
“The people don’t want you, take your mother and go!” became the rallying cry in the protests that rocked Greece in the summer of 1965.
Eventually, Constantine made a truce of sorts with Papandreou and, with his agreement, appointed a government of technocrats and, then, a conservative-led government to hold an election in May 1967.
But, with the polls heavily favoring the Center Union and with Papandreou’s left-leaning son, Andreas, gaining in popularity, Constantine and his courtiers feared revenge and with the aid of high-ranking officers prepared a coup.
However, a group of lower-ranking officers, led by colonels, were preparing their own coup and, apprised of Constantine’s plans by a mole, proclaimed a dictatorship on April 21, 1967.
Constantine was taken by surprise and his feelings toward the new rulers were obvious in the official photo of the new government. He pretended to go along with them, while preparing a counter-coup with the help of troops in northern Greece and the navy, which was loyal to him.
On Dec. 13, 1967, Constantine and his family flew to the northern city of Kavala with the intention of marching on Thessaloniki and setting up a government there. The counter-coup, badly managed and infiltrated, collapsed and Constantine was forced to flee to Rome the following day. He would never return as reigning king.
The junta appointed a regent and, after an abortive Navy counter-coup in May 1973, abolished the monarchy on June 1, 1973. A July plebiscite, widely considered rigged, confirmed the decision.
When the dictatorship collapsed in July 1974, Constantine was eager to return to Greece but was advised against it by veteran politician Constantine Karamanlis, who returned from exile to head a civilian government. Karamanlis, who had also headed the government between 1955-63, was a conservative but had clashed with the court over what he considered its excessive interference in politics.
After his triumphal win in November elections, Karamanlis called for a plebiscite on the monarchy in 1974. Constantine was not allowed in the country to campaign, but the result was unambiguous and widely accepted: 69.2% voted in favor of a republic.
Soon after, Karamanlis famously said the nation had rid itself of a cancerous growth. Constantine said on the day following the referendum that “national unity must take precedence … I wholeheartedly wish that developments will justify the result of yesterday’s vote.”
To his final days, Constantine, while accepting that Greece was now a republic, continued to style himself King of Greece and his children as princes and princesses even though Greece no longer recognized titles of nobility.
For most of his years in exile he lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, and was said to be especially close to his second cousin Charles, the Prince of Wales and now King Charles III.
While it took Constantine 14 years to return to his country, briefly, to bury his mother, Queen Frederica in 1981, he multiplied his visits thereafter and, from 2010, made his home there. There were continued disputes: in 1994, the then socialist government stripped him of his nationality and expropriated what remained of the royal family’s property. Constantine sued at the European Court of Human Rights and was awarded 12 million euros in 2002, a fraction of the 500 million he had sought.
He is survived by his wife, the former Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II; five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos; and nine grandchildren. ___ Derek Gatopoulos in Athens contributed.

This may not apply in countries that don't apply the rule of the shorter term to works from Italy. In particular, these are in the public domain in the United States only if:
wasn't in copyright in the United States due to being registered for copyright there (see Commons:Copyright tags#United States for most cases) and
was created prior to 1976 and published prior to 1978 — then it was out-of-copyright in Italy on the URAA date of restoration (January 1, 1996) (17 U.S.C. § 104A) (in most cases; for all cases, see Template:PD-Italy/US). If so, please add {{PD-1996}} in addition to this copyright tag. If the image was created after 1975 or was published after 1977, please add {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}.

Once upon a time, in a kingdom by the sea, a handsome 24-year-old king married a beautiful 18-year-old princess, and the people of the kingdom rejoiced, and the king and queen lived in a golden palace in the capital, surrounded by royal gardens.
The king in this fairy tale was Constantine II of Greece. His teenage bride was Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark. But in 1967, three years after their wedding, after a coup and a failed countercoup, the young couple and their two small children were driven out of Greece, making a harrowing escape that forced the family into more than four decades of exile. In 1974, while Constantine was living in England and forbidden to speak on his own behalf, the king's subjects abolished the monarchy and stripped the royal family of its palaces, titles, property, and passports.
Now, almost 50 years after he left Greece, at a moment when the eyes of the world regard the country with pity and sorrow, when wealthy Greeks have long since stashed their money in other countries, and when young Greeks are desperately seeking ways to go anywhere else to find work, Constantine, no longer young, has chosen to move back to his native land, investing heavily in a new home for his remaining years and living as a commoner.
It's not as if his life of exile gave him no pleasure. Constantine has thrived for decades at the pinnacle of international society,socializing with Europe's royals (most of them his relatives). In 1986, to celebrate Queen Anne-Marie's 40th birthday, Constantine took over Claridge's Hotel in London for a ball attended by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip (Constantine's cousin), along with Prince Charles and Princess Diana, King Juan Carlos of Spain and his wife Queen Sofía (Constantine's sister), Queen Margrethe of Denmark (his sister-in-law), and virtually all the other royals of Europe. The glittering crowd danced to Lester Lanin's orchestra until dawn, when breakfast was served.
When Constantine turned 60, in 2000, Prince Charles hosted a gala at his country home, Highgrove. It was on that occasion that Queen Elizabeth and Camilla Parker Bowles retired to a convenient room for their first private conversation.
So the question must be asked: Why, at the moment of his country's greatest economic turmoil, would Constantine elect to return to a commoner's existence in Greece, the country that took away his crown, and even his citizenship?
"It's a mystery to us," said Dino Anagnostopoulos, the king's lifelong friend and former classmate. "I don't understand how a man who knows everybody who is anybody in this world would choose to go back to Greece—and especially now, when the country is going through such hard times."
"Why" has become the central mystery of Constantine's life. In person he comes across as a regular guy. He speaks fluent English with a bit of a British accent, and he enjoys hearing and telling a good joke, even at his own expense. Yet despite his chatty bonhomie, it is difficult to pin down the reason for the 75-year-old ex-king's decision to return to his place of birth. In fact, it took three long interviews— two in Athens, one in London—before he would address the topic.
One would certainly understand if he never wanted to return, given the often traumatic events of his young life, beginning with his family's escape from Greece just ahead of the invading Germans when he was a year old. The family settled in Cairo, where the infant prince nearly died after an intentional misdiagnosis by a doctor who was a communist agent (a second doctor diagnosed acute appendicitis and recommended a timely surgery). A year after his family returned to Greece, when he was six, he became the crown prince after his childless uncle, King George II, died and his father assumed the throne as King Paul.
The prince's parents created a rigorous boarding school, Anavryta, for his education and handpicked 14 boys to be his classmates. They became his closest friends for life. On weekends, away from the spartan school's regime of cold showers and 6 a.m. runs, the young prince would invite friends to the summer palace of Tatoi, north of Athens, where his parents held opulent balls and well-born Greek maidens dreamed of catching the eye of the handsome prince. It was not to be. At 19, on a state visit to Denmark, he fell hard for Princess Anne-Marie, youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and sister of the current queen, Margrethe II. She was just 13. On their second meeting, in 1961, when she was 15 and he was 21, he announced to his parents that he was going to marry Anne-Marie. "I didn't ask or suggest. I talked about it as a fait accompli," he recalled.
Convincing Anne-Marie's father was more difficult. When he asked Frederick IX for permission to marry his daughter, the king locked Constantine in a nearby bathroom. When Frederick told his wife, Queen Ingrid, of the proposal, she suggested he release Constantine and open a bottle of champagne.
Constantine was no slouch. He was a dashing young Olympic medalist, having won gold in sailing at the Rome summer games in 1960—the first gold medal for Greece since 1912. "It is the most wonderful feeling I've ever had, other than getting engaged to my wife," he said.
In March 1964, King Paul died of cancer, making his 23-year-old son King Constantine II. The new king and Anne-Marie married six months later, in Athens—two weeks after the bride's 18th birthday. "I was the first king ever to marry in Greece," he said with a smile. "And last year we were fortunate to celebrate our 50th anniversary—back in Athens, at the former Royal Yacht Club in Piraeus."
Less than three years after Constantine became king, a group of right-wing midlevel army officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos staged a coup d'état, on April 21, 1967, surrounding the palace at Tatoi with tanks. Many Greeks would suffer under Papadopoulos's dictatorship. "That night the colonels arrested somewhere between 6,000 and 8,000 people, including all my staff, in under two hours," Constantine told me. "I had to think of all the blood that would be shed if I openly opposed them."
A month after the coup, the king met a group of his old classmates. According to Anagnostopoulos, when they berated Constantine for recognizing the regime, he told them, "Don't worry, in six months everything will be straightened out."
On December 13, 1967, before dawn, the king launched a countercoup, flying with his pregnant wife, their two-year-old daughter, Alexia, seven-month old Crown Prince Pavlos, Constantine's mother Queen Frederica, and his sister Princess Irene to Kavala, a city in northern Greece—a place where he believed the army and its generals were loyal to him. He intended to create an alternative government in Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece.
The air force and navy immediately declared for the king and mobilized, but the colonels in Athens put together a force that advanced north, and within hours it was clear the countercoup had failed. "I understood afterward, when you start something like this, it has to work in the first hour, two hours maximum, or it's a waste of time," Constantine said. "You would have to enforce it with a lot of bloodshed. The Greeks had been through a terrible civil war, and I wasn't going to put them through that again."
That night, to avoid open conflict, Constantine flew his family out of the country, toward Italy; he piloted the plane himself. "We had less than three minutes of fuel when we touched down," he said. "I had to borrow $300 from my valet to refuel the plane, and my brother-in-law [King Juan Carlos] had to send me clothes."
On the heels of these agonizing events, Queen Anne-Marie suffered a miscarriage. "It was a very dark period in our history," Constantine said, with obvious emotion. "A lot of officers who supported me were badly treated by the colonels when we failed. But at least we all made a major effort to free our country from that dictatorship."
From Rome, Constantine declared, "I am sure I shall go back the way my ancestors did." (Both his grandfather King Constantine I and his uncle King George II spent large portions of their reigns in exile during the world wars, which caused George II to remark, "The most important tool for a king of Greece is a suitcase.") Constantine and his family lived for two months in the Greek embassy in Rome and then for five years in a house in a suburb.
Over the next year the junta sent feelers to the king, trying to negotiate terms under which he would return, but he insisted on the restoration of democracy. He believes the colonels also engineered two attempts on his life.
"The second time," he said, "I was going to Tehran to meet the shah. When I got to Heathrow, I noticed that the flight was quite long, with two stops, so I changed to a direct flight on British Airways. When I got to Tehran the shah told me there had been an assassin on the Frankfurt leg of the original flight, but his people had intercepted him. 'So what happened to the fellow?' I asked. 'Do you really want to know?' he said."
In 1973 the colonels in the junta were themselves replaced by younger officers, and when the new leaders tried to stage a coup in Cyprus in the summer of 1974, it prompted an invasion of the island by Turkey, and military rule in Greece collapsed.
As the dictatorship was crumbling, the veteran political leader Constantine Karamanlis, in self-exile in Paris, was in constant phone contact with the exiled king in London. "We had been talking throughout the day," Constantine said, "and that afternoon Karamanlis said he had been asked to go back to Athens. I said, 'By whom?' He said by people representing the junta. I said, 'Shall I come with you?' He said, 'No, let me go and see what is happening and I'll call you in the morning.'
"Of course," Constantine said, "the call never came."
Karamanlis formed a party, New Democracy, which won a resounding victory in November 1974, and then Constantine's former ally called for a referendum on the monarchy for December 8. The king was not allowed to go to Greece to campaign or to speak to the people on TV, and when the results were announced, only 31 percent of the population had voted for the king's restoration.
Having lost any hope for a return of the monarchy, the deposed king settled down in London, where he had moved in 1973. He opened an office in Mayfair and maintained contact with his supporters, who included wealthy Greek ship owners based in Britain.
In 1980, Constantine and Anne-Marie created the Hellenic College of London, where their own children were educated in both English and Greek. (After the escape from Greece and the miscarriage, Anne-Marie gave birth in Rome to Prince Nikolaos, in 1969, and then, in London, to Princess Theodora, in 1983, and Prince Philippos, in 1986.)
A devastating moment in Constantine's long exile occurred in February 1981, when his mother died, at the age of 63, in Madrid of heart failure during eyelid surgery. The Greek government announced that it would allow the former king and his family to return for only a few hours to bury her in the family cemetery at Tatoi, where Constantine and his sisters had spent idyllic summers as children.
Constantine began negotiations in 1986 with the government of Andreas Papandreou to receive a financial settlement for seized property that had belonged to the king: the 10,000-acre Tatoi estate, the royal estate of Mon Repos, on Corfu (birthplace of many royals, including Prince Philip; it is now a public park and museum), and 7,500 acres of timberland in central Greece. Two years later "we reached an agreement that Papandreou was supposed to sign on a Thursday," Constantine said. "But that Wednesday he collapsed from a heart problem and was rushed to a hospital in England. Our agreement was never signed."
When Papandreou lost the election the following year, negotiations continued with the new government, and a tentative agreement was reached. But when Papandreou returned to power in 1993, he revoked that agreement. According to Costas Strongylos, a longtime friend of Constantine's and his private secretary since 1999, "Under the new law, enacted in 1994, all of the king's property was confiscated by the Greek state. The law further stated that in order for the king and his family to hold Greek passports, they had to accept the referendum abolishing the monarchy and select an ordinary last name like those used by all other Greek citizens."
The king then sued in the European Court of Human Rights, which set aside the name issue and asked for valuations of the king's properties. The government's appraisers put the value at $550 million, according to Strongylos; the king's put it at $500 million. The courts handed the case to a commission of three, which decided that the former royal family would not receive either estimate; the king would have to settle for 12 mil- lion euros, and his sister Irene for 900,000 euros.
The Greek government waited until the last day permitted by the ruling, then paid the king out of the country's natural disasters fund, in order to make it look as if Constantine were depleting his country's emergency resources. He countered by putting the money into the Anna-Maria Foundation, to allocate the funds back to the Greek people for use in "extraordinary natural disasters and charitable causes."
Constantine insists that he long ago accepted the rejection of the monarchy. "If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it," he told Time in 2002. What was impossible to accept was the enforced exile. To keep Constantine and his family out of Greece, in the early 1980s the government sent an order to all consulates to deny any requests by members of the former royal family to have their passports renewed, effectively rendering them stateless persons. For a time they traveled on passports issued by the Spanish government, which listed the king's name as "Constantino de Grecia." Now he and his wife travel with Danish passports, which identify them as "H.M. King Constantine" and "H.M. Queen Anne-Marie."
The first time they ventured back to Greece after burying Queen Frederica was in 1993, when they flew into Thessaloniki, boarded a friend's yacht, and sailed down the Aegean to the wealthy Porto Heli area. Constantine remembered being "followed all the way by navy vessels, as if we were an invading force."
As the 2004 summer Olympics in Athens approached, everyone knew that the ex-king would be coming to Greece as an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee. "Ever since they created the republic through the referendum in 1974, I decided to stay away and not interfere," he said. "But as time passed, I had the feeling that they were going to use my presence at the Olympic Games to say that I was trying to come back as king. I wasn't going to have any of that. So I came back to Greece in 2003—the year before the Olympics. Everyone was taken by surprise."
When Constantine and Anne-Marie landed in Athens, "it was clear nobody realized we were on the plane. We showed the passports and suddenly they said, 'The king is in the VIP lounge!' and there was all kinds of commotion. Then I called the Greek ambassador back in London and said, 'Tell the government the king is back in Greece, and here is my itinerary. I'm going to Tatoi to have a memorial service for my parents, and then I'm going to the Pentelikon Hotel to spend the night. I will leave the next morning.' I came to show them I could come when I wanted to come, not when someone told me I could."
After the first surprise visit, the king and his family came back more often, without the excitement. But his arrival in Greece as a representative of the Olympics in the summer of 2004 was filled with irony and drew unexpected support from all points on the political spectrum. "As I approached the president, every pair of eyes were on us," Constantine remembered. "I said to the poor man, 'Mr. President, do you do rousfetia [favors]?' And he said, 'What's on your mind?' I said, 'I want you to invite my family to the palace, to see all the changes.' "
" 'Of course!' he replied. 'Just tell your secretary and mine to agree on the date.' "
That visit to what had once been the royal palace in Athens, now the presidential palace, occurred on December 24, 2004. "It was horrible!" Constantine exclaimed. "All the former bedrooms don't exist. Gone! Everything else—every room—is an office. I asked him, 'How many people work here?' He told me 120. I had 13.
"Today the president has a huge amount of security, and according to the constitution the president is paid a salary and it's his money," Constantine continued. "Now the running of the presidential palace is paid for with the taxpayers' money. So are the president's telephones, heating, cars, drivers, clothes, state visits—all paid for by the state. For us it was the complete opposite. We were paid X amount—I think it was 7 million drachmas— and I paid for my own education with an inheritance, because my father was running out of money. Part of the excuse against me was that royalty costs too much. But royalty costs so much less! Today we have, I don't know, three or four former heads of state. All of them have pensions, and so do all their police, security, drivers, and secretaries."
Through all the vicissitudes Constantine has endured over the years, the one foundation that has provided him with a sense of security is the friendship of the 14 men who, years ago, were chosen to be his fourth-grade classmates in the newly created Anavryta School. The boys had been selected through tests of their intelligence and chosen to represent all classes of Greek society. They had only alternate weekends free to go home, and if their parents could not afford the boarding fees, they were given full scholarships.
"The Anavryta School was set up in Kifissia by King Paul so that Constantine would be educated with smart Greek boys from different backgrounds," said Panayiotis Soucacos, who was one of those 14 boys and is now a professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Athens Medical School. "It was established on the principles of German educator Kurt Hahn, who founded the Gordonstoun School in Scotland, where British royals have gone, including Prince Philip and Prince Charles. Of the 14 in the first class, 13 are still alive. All did well. Five became university professors, four in medicine [including Anagnostopoulos, a clinical professor of surgery at the Columbia University Medical Center, in New York] and one in nuclear physics. The others became successful businessmen."
Tales of Constantine's loyalty and kindness to his former classmates abound. "Constantine was not only best man at my wedding and my daughter's, he baptized two of my granddaughters, too," said Anagnostopoulos, who feels that his friend's decision to return to Greece ultimately has to do with "wanting to end his life where he began it. Constantine is happiest when he's there."
"He's homesick—down-to-the-bone homesick," said Soucacos. "Besides his family, and standing up to the junta, he's proudest of winning an Olympic gold medal for Greece. He has never thought of any other place as home."
Back in 2002, Constantine told Larry King that the only good thing about living in exile was that he had "much more time to see my children grow up." But the children have done that and gone. His youngest son, Philippos, 29, works in finance in New York, and his youngest daughter, Theodora, 31, is an actress in Hollywood (as Theodora Greece). Nikolaos, 45, is married to Tatiana Blatnik and lives in Kastri, Greece, in an apartment owned by the daughter of the king's late nemesis, Papandreou. Eldest son Pavlos, 48, married Marie-Chantal Miller, whose billionaire father, Robert Warren Miller, developed duty-free shops at airports; they live with their five children in London. The eldest, Alexia, 50, is married to an architect, Carlos Morales Quintana, and they live with their four children in Spain. "My eldest grandchild turned 16 yesterday," Constantine said. "He's a diver. He's everything: a rower, a diver, a scholar. We are very lucky with our grandchildren."
Seven years ago, at the age of 68, Constantine underwent heart surgery in London—a reminder of his mortality that undoubtedly fueled his desire to move home full-time. When he's in Greece he lives in Porto Heli, the seaside town he visited years ago followed by the Greek navy. According to Costas Strongylos, Constantine financed the purchase of the house by "selling his London properties for a good profit. He also made money in business deals in the Middle East."
The result is a lavish if less than royal life that does feature his other great love: the sea. "He can sail his caïque any time he wants, and he does almost every afternoon," Strongylos said. "He takes her out from three to seven, finds a quiet cove, and anchors there to swim and relax."
Near the end of our interviews, Constantine finally offered his reasons for returning. We were sitting in the Byzantino Restaurant at the Athens Hilton with Nikolaos. "Look a t ancient Greek history," he said. "All Greeks who live in exile, they want to go back. It's in the blood. Funnily enough, the one pushing hardest was my wife. I think she realized I would be happy only when I came back home."
But why, when so many others have chosen to flee, has he gone in the other direction and thrown in his lot—and his own still considerable resources—with the country that revoked his birth- right? Why return to his homeland when it has been reduced to economic chaos?
In a way, his reasons for returning reflect his attitude about the future of his troubled country. History presents ample evidence of the resiliency of the Greeks. "They have seen their standard of living drop by 30 percent and unemployment soar to more than 25 percent," he said. "It's painful to see how much suffering they have endured. But the Greeks are a tough people who not only know how to enjoy life but how to endure hardship. We suffered centuries of subjugation under the Ottoman Turks, a brutal Nazi occupation, and a devastating civil war, but we bounced back to create a beautiful land to call home. Everyone must take great care not to allow our glorious country to fall into the kind of national division that brought so much misery in the past. I have faith that Greeks will face our current troubles with patience and resolve and that we will prevail."
During our conversation Constantine confided that he has already decided where he will be buried: the royal cemetery on the grounds of Tatoi. "My family doesn't like it when I talk about it, but I've chosen the spot...that part where the graves are shad- owed by blossoming hickory trees, farther down and a little to the left of my father. Facing toward the sea..."
It's an appropriate place to spend eternity—overlooking what has drawn Greeks homeward since Odysseus made his way back to Ithaka. Like Homer's legendary hero, the former king has returned with no title to find a palace crumbling into ruins, but he considers himself fortunate to be back on his native ground, in life and in death. As the poet C.P. Cavafy wrote about Odysseus's long search for home:
Arriving there is what you are
destined for
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't
have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become,
so full of experience,
You will have understood by then
what these Ithakas mean.

Born on 30 August 1946, the royal was born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, the youngest of three daughters born to King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. Her older sisters are Queen Margrethe II of Denmark (who recently made headlines due to her decision to strip four of her grandchildren of their royal titles) and Princess Benedikte of Denmark.
The sisters are related to the British Royal Family though their maternal grandmother Princess Margaret of Connaught, who was daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. This made Anne-Marie a third cousin of both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Anne-Marie is also the first cousin of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, the second cousin of King Harald V of Norway and a third cousin of King Juan Carlos I of Spain (father of King Felipe VI).

Money, power and beauty. Following Prince Michael of Greece's death, discover why the Greek royal family have been hailed the world’s ‘most glamorous’
This complex family tree is reflected in Anne-Marie’s dazzling list of godparents. Among them were representatives from five European monarchies, including Britain’s Queen Mary (wife of King George V).
Anne-Marie spent her formative years living between Danish royal palaces in Copenhagen and North Zealand. She was less than a year old when her father ascended the throne as King Frederick IX, following the death of her grandfather Christian X. At the time, only male heirs were recognised in the line of succession. However, this was changed in 1953 and Margrethe, Frederick’s eldest daughter, became heir apparent. Benedikte and Anne-Marie were second and third in line to the throne.

Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark, Princess Diana’s dashing godson, turns 37
As he celebrates his 37th birthday, Tatler looks at the charmed life of Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark
Like Queen Elizabeth II, Anne-Marie was only a teenager when she met her future husband. Constantine, a distant cousin, was introduced to the young princess while accompanying his parents King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece, on a state visit to Denmark in 1959. The pair crossed paths several times over the next few years, including at the wedding of Constantine’s sister Princess Sofia of Greece and Denmark (now Queen Sofia of Spain) to the then Prince Juan Carlos of Spain (the future King Juan Carlos I). Constantine and Anne-Marie announced their engagement in July 1964, four months after he had succeeded his father as King of the Hellenes.
Following a military coup in 1967, and an unsuccessful counter-coup, Constantine II and his family were exiled. Queen Anne-Marie, along with the rest of her family lived in a number of places including Britain and Italy. The monarchy was ultimately abolished in 1973 and Constantine II was later stripped of his Greek citizenship. Anne-Marie was not allowed to return to her beloved country until 1981 where she was allowed to attend the funeral of her mother-in-law. Constantine II returned to Greece amidst the financial crash, when the country's rich were fleeing and its youth were leaving in order to find a better life. He invested heavily in the country.

Prince William and Kate will embrace a poignant leadership role on the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death
King Charles III will be supported by Prince William and Kate as he spend the day privately in Balmoral
In January this year, Constantine II died of a stroke aged 82. Representatives from Europe's royal families made the journey to Athens to support Anne-Marie and her family. During his funeral, she paid tribute to her beloved husband in two important ways. First, she wore the crucifix that she wore on her wedding day. She also wore a wreath made up of white lilies, which was the same flower that was used for her bridal bouquet.
Undoubtedly, the death of her beloved husband will mean this birthday is particularly poignant for Queen Anne-Marie.

ATHENS — Constantine II, the last king of Greece, who ruled for just three years during a turbulent period in the country’s modern history that culminated in the abolition of the monarchy, died on Tuesday in a hospital here. He was 82.
He had been in intensive care for several days after a respiratory infection, a family spokeswoman said.
Constantine was a popular figure when, at 23, he ascended the throne after the death of his father, King Paul, in 1964. Just years earlier he won Greece’s first Olympic gold medal in sailing in decades, at the 1960 Games in Rome.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece wore a poignant piece of jewelry to the funeral of her late husband King Constantine II.
The Queen, 76, led the group of mourners who gathered for the funeral of King Constantine, who died last Tuesday at age 82. Constantine had reportedly suffered from chronic heart and mobility problems and died of a stroke after being hospitalized for breathing problems, according to The Guardian.
The King was laid to rest in Athens on Monday, where his widow wore the same diamond cross necklace she debuted on their wedding day. Constantine married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in September 1964, and the royals celebrated their 58th-anniversary last fall.
Constantine became King in 1964 at age 23 following the death of his father King Paul and married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark months later.

Constantine, who won a gold medal in sailing for his country at the 1960 Olympics, acceded the throne weeks after a vote gave control to the Center Union party over the conservatives, the Associated Press reported. Constantine later had a falling out with Prime Minister George Papandreou over control of the armed forces that led to a coup in 1967, driving him and his family to flee to Rome.
The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, but Constantine continued to use royal titles for himself and his family members. He lived most of his years in exile in Hampstead Garden Suburb in London, returning to live in Greece in 2010.
He is survived by his wife Queen Anne-Marie, their five children — Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos — and nine grandchildren, the Associated Press reported.

In the ever-connected European royal family tree, Prince Philip was first cousins with King Constantine, and Princess Anne (pictured below left) served as a bridesmaid at his wedding to Queen Anne-Marie. Princess Anne, 73, attended Constantine's funeral in Athens on Monday, standing in for her brother King Charles III. Likewise, Lady Gabriella Windsor was at the solemn service in Prince William's stead.

It is customary for senior royals in Britain to send relatives or close friends and aides to funerals on their behalf. The late Queen Elizabeth only rarely attended funerals. King Charles appears to be following the same custom and sending a family member instead.

Constantine's funeral was somewhat of a reunion for world royals. Prince Albert of Monaco was among the mourners joining royals from all over Europe paying tribute to Constantine. King Felipe and his wife Queen Letizia were also in attendance, as was Queen Margrethe of Denmark, the late King's sister-in-law.
Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were among the congregation along with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, as well as Prince Haakon of Norway and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.

TRH Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine attended today the funeral of HM King Constantine II of Hellenes, the Royal family of Serbia’s dear cousin, Godfather and friend, at the Metropolis Cathedral of The Annunciation followed by the Tatoi Royal Cemetery, where His Majesty was laid to the eternal rest together with other late members of the Royal family of Greece.
The church service was performed by His Beatitude Hieronymos II, Archbishop of Athens and All Greece and Primate of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Greece with the numerous Bishops of the Greek Orthodox Church at the Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens.
Numerous members of the Royal families of Europe, representatives of the Greek Government, and many prominent people gathered today to say the last goodbye to the late King and setting him off to his eternal rest. His Majesty’s widow, HM Queen Anne-Marie, his sisters HM Queen Sophia of Spain, and HRH Princess Irene of Greece, and his children HRH Crown Prince Pavlos, HRH Princess Alexia, HRH Prince Nikolaos, HRH Princess Theodora, and HRH Prince Philippos together with other members of the Royal Family of Greece led the procession and accepted condolences and words of deepest sympathy for their loss.
“This is a very sad day, the day when we said final fare-well to my dear cousin, my “kum”, as we say in Serbia, HM King Constantine II. During these most difficult moments, we share grief and pain of our dear cousins, the Royal family of Greece, for the passing of His Majesty, and we send our prayers to the Lord to remember the late King in His mercy.
King Constantine II will be greatly missed, but the memory of him will be kept forever, with great love and respect. When this time of grieving passes, only those beautiful memories of a great and kind man, a true and honest friend, will remain fondly kept by all of us who knew him, as well as of all the beautiful and joyful moments we have shared together. He was together with us in some of the most joyful moments of our lives, he was the best man when my wife, Crown Princess Katherine, and I got married in 1985, he was the Godfather of my sons, Hereditary Prince Philip and Prince Alexander. For Serbian people, these bonds are sacred bonds, and they last forever.
It truly was an honour and a privilege knowing the late King and being able to share many thoughts and experiences with him. I am grateful for all the moments we shared together”, stated HRH Crown Prince Alexander on this occasion.
Together with the Royal Couple of Serbia, the Royal families of Europe and the world were present including: HM King Carl XVI Gustaf and HM Queen Silvia of Sweden, HM King Philippe and HM Queen Mathilde of Belgium, HM King Felipe VI and HM Queen Letizia of Spain, HM King Willem-Alexander and HM Queen Máxima of Netherlands, HM Queen Margrethe II and HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, HRH the Princess Royal of the United Kingdom Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, HRH Crown Prince Haakon and HRH Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, HRH Henri, the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, HM Queen Noor of Jordan, HRH Princess Sarvath of Jordan, HIM Empress Farah of Iran, HRH Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia, HRH Prince Radu of Romania, HM Czar Simeon of the Bulgarians, and many other Royals.
Relations between the Royal families of Greece and Serbia have always been marked with sincere and cordial friendship and deep family bonds. HM King Constantine II was the best man at TRH Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine’s wedding in 1985, and His Majesty was also the Godfather of the Crown Prince’s sons, HRH Hereditary Prince Philip and HRH Prince Alexander. Also, the daughter of the late King of Greece, HRH Princess Theodora, is HRH Crown Prince Alexander’s Godchild.
HRH Crown Prince Alexander was also in close family relations with the late HM King Constantine II. Crown Prince Alexander’s maternal grandfather HM King Alexander of Greece who married Aspasia Manos, was the brother of HM King Paul of Greece, HM King Constantine II’s father.

On this day in 1964, King Constantine II married 18-year-old Princess of Denmark Anne-Marie in what continues to be remembered as one of the most extravagant royal weddings in Greece.
The couple tied the knot at the Metropolitan Cathedral in the center of Athens with scores of official guests, royal family members and crowds of onlookers applauding.
Constantine and Anne-Marie’s wedding remains the only one to be held in Greece while including a sitting Greek monarch. The 24-year-old groom had recently taken the thrown after his father King Paul I died on March 6, 1964.
Born in Athens, the newly acceded king was the only son of King Paul and Princess Friederike of Hanover. His wife was the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden.
Constantine’s accession had been viewed favorably but was cut short by the coup of April 21, 1967 in which the Greek military junta took power.
The coup left Constantine with few options since he did not have military forces at his disposal; therefore, he reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the junta on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers.
But on December 13 1967, Constantine was forced to flee Greece after an unsuccessful countercoup attempt. He remained the formal head of state in exile until the junta abolished the monarchy on June 1, 1973.

The King and Queen.
Photo (c) Greek Royal Family.
Yesterday, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece lost her husband and life partner of six decades. The love story between King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie is truly one of the most beautiful in modern times.
The eventual King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece first met during a visit of the Greek royal family, including then Crown Prince Constantine, to Denmark in 1959. Anne-Marie's father King Frederick took his daughter and eventual son-in-law, as well as other royal youngsters, to see the Benneweis Circus in Jutland. Constantine was the only son of King Paul I of Greece and Queen Frederica (née Princess of Hannover). Anne-Marie was the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and Queen Ingrid (née Princess of Sweden).
Constantine and Anne-Marie met again in 1961. The following year, 1962, Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Constantine's older sister Sophia to Juan Carlos of Spain. Later that same year, Anne-Marie was on holiday with her governess in Norway, where Constantine was attending a yacht racing event. He proposed and she accepted. They did not initially tell her parents.
In his biography of King Constantine II, entitled H.M. Konstantine XIII King of the Hellenes, the author G. Nicholas Tantzos wrote:
"The wedding of Sophie and Juan Carlos took place on May 14, 1962, and had even broader romantic consequences. The Crown Prince re-met his third cousin, the sixteen year-old Princess Anne-Marie. more than a hundred of Europe's royals attended the wedding, but Konstantine had eyes for no one else, and danced dance after dance with her, until his mother finally told him to give some of the other Princesses a break. Konstantine was having none of it, stating that he wanted no one else. Without telling his parents, Konstantine proposed to Anne-Marie during the summer of 1962 while they were all in Norway. She accepted, and the Prince immediately went and told his parents.
Several years before, while visiting Denmark, King Paul had also noticed the twelve-year-old Princess, and remarked to Frederika, 'She is like a butterfly. If and when he marries, I hope Konstantine marries her!'

While Frederika and Paul approved of the marriage, all was not so well in Denmark. Anne-Marie's father was delighted, but a number of legal questions were raised. Such a marriage would reunite the Danish and Greek Royal Houses. A hundred years before, the Danish Prince William, second in line to the Danish throne, had been elected King of the Hellenes as King George I. He had deferred his rights in the Danish succession to those of his younger brothers, but he, and his descendants, were still styled Princes of Denmark. Besides the close blood relationship, Danish law did not allow a girl to marry until she attained the age of eighteen. In order to marry, Anne-Marie required a letter of permission from her father, King Frederick IX, which also had to be approved by his Minister of Justice. Circumstances made this unnecessary. The death of King Paul required waiting through a period of mourning, and by the time the date was set, Anne-Marie was eighteen.
For six months the engagement had to be kept secret, much to the anguish of the Crown Prince, who lamented that it was '...unfair, since most engaged couples can see each other as often as they wish, while I have to sneak around, pretending that I am going to Denmark for the sailing.'"

The royal couple recounted their courtship in the Danish documentary A Royal Family.

King Constantine: "I actually saw a picture of her in a magazine. And I said: 'That's it.' And I said: 'Well, I want to go to Denmark and meet her.' And my father said: 'How are you going to do that?' And I said: 'Well, I'll write a letter to the king and say I'm going to be in Denmark for a sailing meeting with Mr. Paul Elvstrøm, which was feasible.' I don't know if I ever told Paul that I used him as an excuse to go see this girl."
Queen Anne-Marie: "We spent, whatever it was, four or five days in Athens for the wedding [of Princess Sophia of Greece and Infante Juan Carlos of Spain], which was a wonderful occasion. And I think probably there it was that we fell in love."
Queen Anne-Marie on their engagement: "I said: 'For goodness sake, do not not tell my parents, because they will have a fit!' Which he couldn't understand, but I persuaded him, and I think he realized that they probably would have had a fit. So it wasn't until, in fact, six months after we had got engaged unofficially that we did tell my parents."

King Constantine: "The biggest shock was for my father-in-law. I asked him if I could marry his daughter. And the poor man got such a shock that he got up, he never said a word to me, he just got up, took me by the hand, and put me in a room and locked me in there with no lights. So I had to sort of grope around to find a light, and then I found the light and opened it, and I found out I was in his toilet. And I couldn't understand what I was doing in there. And he had gone off to find his wife and tell her 'this fellow wants to marry our daughter - what do we do with him?'"

The last king of Greece, Constantine II, died late Tuesday night, 100 years after the death of his grandfather, Constantine I, who died on January 11, 1923. Constantine was the last king of the dynasty that began with George I, who succeeded Otto in 1863 and remained king of Greece for the next 50 years.
Constantine was being treated in a private hospital in Athens when he died at the age of 82 after suffering a stroke. He was married to the former queen Anne-Marie of Denmark in 1964 and had five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philip. A mild-mannered, polite and approachable man, Constantine was also one of the protagonists in the maelstrom of political developments in Greece in the 1960s.
He acceded to the throne in 1964 at the age of 23, but the historical changes along with his choices at critical moments of Greece’s history contributed both to his self-exile at the end of 1967, after clashing with the military junta that ruled the country at the time, as well as his defeat in the referendum of 1974. Since then he had lived in Rome, London and, for the last 25 years, in Greece, in the resort town of Porto Heli, southern Greece, and Athens.
A 5-year-old child, dressed in white shirt and shorts, waves his hand. He is on the warship that will take him to Greece, together with his two sisters, Sofia (who would later become queen of Spain) and Irene. It is the first image of the prince, from a small film made in 1946. The last king of Greece was born on Sunday, June 2, 1940 at 5.45 in the afternoon at his parents’ residence, Villa Psychiko, in the namesake suburb of Athens. His birth was announced to the people at about 6 p.m., and was celebrated with “a 101-gun salute from Mount Lycabettus in Athens, Piraeus and the naval stations of Salamis and Poros, the tolling of church bells, the horns of ships in the harbor and the illumination of the capital,” as noted by writer Kostas Stamatopoulos in the book “Diary of Queen Frederica,” published by Kapon Editions.
Constantine was baptized on July 18 in the ceremonial hall of the so-called New Royal Palace on Irodou Attikou Street (which today houses the Presidential Mansion, the official residence of the Greek president). During the first years of his life he did not live in Greece. Shortly before the Germans seized Athens on April 27, 1942, his family and that of his uncle, King George II, along with the administration of Emmanouil Tsouderos, and forces of the Royal Navy and Air Force, fled to Crete. George II remained on the island throughout the Battle of Crete and then fled to Egypt. Paul, Constantine’s father, along with his wife Frederica (previously of Hanover) and their two children, Sofia and Constantine, were evacuated to Egypt on April 30, 1941. They returned to Greece two years later.
The return
King George II returned to Greece following a plebiscite in 1946 that preserved the monarchy after the war. The royal family was reunited in Elefsis. Constantine, Sofia and Irene arrived in Greece a few days later. The first image that little Constantine saw as they approached the harbor was the Hellenic Naval Academy. The facade of the building had the sign of a crown and, according to the stories of the time, the child thought that these were the royal palaces. Just six months after his return, on April 1, 1947, King George II died of cardiac arrest. He was only 57. As he had no children of his own, Constantine’s father became king, making Constantine the crown prince.
Greece was at a crucial turning point in its civil war, which followed Greece’s liberation from German occupation. The British had handed over the responsibility of foreign aid to the Americans to prevent Greece from slipping behind the Iron Curtain.
The Cold War had just begun. The Greek throne served as a guarantee to foreign powers that the state which emerged from the breakup of the Ottoman Empire would operate according to rudimentary Western standards and not collapse into discord and anarchy. King Paul and Queen Frederica had to adapt this model to their time and they did. They played a catalytic role in promoting stable Greek-American cooperation, both during the civil war and in the years that followed. The palace and the American Embassy formed the stable axis on which political life revolved for the next 20 years – from 1947 to 1967. On the day of King George II’s death, Constantine became the crown prince and attended his uncle’s funeral, holding his father’s hand. King Paul I and the new royal family moved into the New Royal Palace.
The Greek throne was always viewed by foreign powers as a guarantee that the state which emerged from the breakup of the Ottoman Empire would operate according to rudimentary Western standards
The royal family underestimated the fact that the monarchy was on shaky political and historical ground. Today, only the portrait of Constantine I has remained in its original position. It is located at the end of the grand staircase, on the first floor of the Presidential Palace, as a historical “postscript,” a reminder of a certain time or perhaps as an enigma. The portrait of Constantine I still “observes” the occupants of the Presidential Palace. So far, no one has decided to remove the portrait of a king who played an important role in the National Schism – a series of disagreements between King Constantine I and Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos regarding Greece’s foreign policy in the period of 1910-1922 – who was loved and hated, who is buried in the grounds of the former palace of Tatoi, and whose impressive statue dominates the Pedion tou Areos park in central Athens. The portrait may still be in its original place but the monarchy has long become part of the country’s past. What factors led to such an impressive historical upheaval?
Konstantinos Karamanlis
As soon as Prime Minister Alexandros Papagos died in 1955, King Paul invited Konstantinos Karamanlis, then minister of public works and an MP for Serres, to form a government. The 1952 Constitution included a provision stating that “the king appoints and dismisses the prime minister and his ministers,” which enabled the monarch, with a rather loose interpretation of that provision, to “appoint” the prime minister he wanted.
Ten years later, in July 1965, the young King Constantine II decided to invoke the same constitutional provision which his father had used to choose Karamanlis, to install Stefanos Stefanopoulos as prime minister – a man his father had pushed aside in 1955. Stefanopoulos formed the infamous government of the defectors (a group of lawmakers who had defected from the ruling centrist government, an event still widely known in Greece as the “apostasy”), which eventually ended up being headed by caretaker premier, Panagiotis Kanellopoulos.
King Constantine’s decision to emulate his father’s action couldn’t possibly be simply the result of coincidence. It expressed perhaps a psychological urge for the son to prove to himself and others that he was worthy of his father, but also a palace mentality of interventions in the “flow of history.” It was a belief that the blue-blooded are supposed to have the “divine privilege” to intervene. But Constantine did not have the experience, the suspicion or the cynicism to understand the changes that were taking place, to act strategically, to think coldly. He was not arrogant, but he had the recklessness of youth and probably also the certainty of privileged children that no matter what happens they will remain the “chosen” ones. How did a young man with no apparent bad intentions manage to lose the crown just a few years after the monarchy had completed a century in Greece?
The clock started ticking for the monarchy when relations with Karamanlis, the natural leader of the right-wing National Radical Union (ERE), started souring. The stability of the Greek monarchy had always been dependent on the right and, of course, the Great Powers. Kanellopoulos – after the electoral defeat of 1963, the assumption of power by Georgios Papandreou’s Center Union, and Karamanlis’ self-imposed exile in Paris – had taken over the leadership of ERE, the party founded by Karamanlis as the successor party of the Greek Rally. Another useful detail is that Karamanlis did not leave for Paris after the electoral defeat of his party, but in June 1963, after his clash with the palace, following an intense disagreement over the official visit of Queen Frederica to London.
The ‘trivial’ reason
Frederica wanted the trip to go ahead and Paul agreed, but Karamanlis insisted that it be called off, arguing that on a previous visit to London two months earlier, the queen and her daughter Sofia had been lambasted as they came out of Claridge’s Hotel by a group of half a dozen protesters and the wife of Antonis Abatielos, a dockworker and communist union chief, who was under arrest in Greece at the time. Karamanlis later recounted how Constantine stopped him on the palace steps and demanded why he was going against his father’s will. “I speak with the king. You stay out of it,” Karamanlis responded as he stormed away from what would become the Presidential Mansion he presided over some 20 years later. Constantine said that no one at the palace could understand why this tiff had meant so much to Karamanlis. There had, of course, already been some friction over Princess Sofia’s dowry when she married Juan Carlos of Spain in 1962 and about the palace’s spending of public money. He eventually concluded that Karamanlis had been looking for a reason to quit in 1963, under pressure from growing popular discontent and the negative climate resulting from the two-year political battle with Georgios Papandreou, who refused to accept the result of the 1961 elections and insisted they were the result of voter intimidation and election fraud.
King at 24
Constantine had met Anne-Marie, the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark, in Copenhagen in 1959 and they were engaged in the Danish capital in January 1963. Their arrival in Athens was marked by a reception at the palace and a visit to the Acropolis. Constantine was in no rush to become king. He wanted to study at Harvard and work at the United Nations and had told his father that he wanted to spend six months a year in the United States and the other six months in Greece. All that changed, however, when an Evangelismos Hospital surgeon informed the royal family that King Paul had been diagnosed with cancer.
Frederica was in the United States at the time and flew right back when she heard the news. Two British doctors were flown in to assist their Greek colleagues with the surgery, which was carried out at the royal summer residence of Tatoi, where an operating theater had been set up for the purpose. The surgery went well, but the king suffered a setback a few days later. The miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary was sent from the island of Tinos, but the king died on March 6, 1964. His final words, according to his son, were, “Tell the Greek people I love them and thank them.”
Constantine called Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou to inform him of his father’s passing. “Your Majesty, you must be sworn in without further delay,” Papandreou responded.
At the ceremony, the newly enthroned king addressed the Greek people, vowing to serve the nation and to protect the independent institutions of the republic with ceaseless vigilance. His marriage to Anne-Marie took place six months later, on September 18, 1964.
This is the first of a four-part series on Greece’s former king Constantine II, who died on Tuesday night, aged 82.

Once upon a time, in a kingdom by the sea, a handsome 24-year-old king married a beautiful 18-year-old princess, and the people of the kingdom rejoiced, and the king and queen lived in a golden palace in the capital, surrounded by royal gardens.
The king in this fairy tale was Constantine II of Greece. His teenage bride was Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark. But in 1967, three years after their wedding, after a coup and a failed countercoup, the young couple and their two small children were driven out of Greece, making a harrowing escape that forced the family into more than four decades of exile. In 1974, while Constantine was living in England and forbidden to speak on his own behalf, the king's subjects abolished the monarchy and stripped the royal family of its palaces, titles, property, and passports.
Now, almost 50 years after he left Greece, at a moment when the eyes of the world regard the country with pity and sorrow, when wealthy Greeks have long since stashed their money in other countries, and when young Greeks are desperately seeking ways to go anywhere else to find work, Constantine, no longer young, has chosen to move back to his native land, investing heavily in a new home for his remaining years and living as a commoner.
It's not as if his life of exile gave him no pleasure. Constantine has thrived for decades at the pinnacle of international society,socializing with Europe's royals (most of them his relatives). In 1986, to celebrate Queen Anne-Marie's 40th birthday, Constantine took over Claridge's Hotel in London for a ball attended by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip (Constantine's cousin), along with Prince Charles and Princess Diana, King Juan Carlos of Spain and his wife Queen Sofía (Constantine's sister), Queen Margrethe of Denmark (his sister-in-law), and virtually all the other royals of Europe. The glittering crowd danced to Lester Lanin's orchestra until dawn, when breakfast was served.
When Constantine turned 60, in 2000, Prince Charles hosted a gala at his country home, Highgrove. It was on that occasion that Queen Elizabeth and Camilla Parker Bowles retired to a convenient room for their first private conversation.
So the question must be asked: Why, at the moment of his country's greatest economic turmoil, would Constantine elect to return to a commoner's existence in Greece, the country that took away his crown, and even his citizenship?
"It's a mystery to us," said Dino Anagnostopoulos, the king's lifelong friend and former classmate. "I don't understand how a man who knows everybody who is anybody in this world would choose to go back to Greece—and especially now, when the country is going through such hard times."
"Why" has become the central mystery of Constantine's life. In person he comes across as a regular guy. He speaks fluent English with a bit of a British accent, and he enjoys hearing and telling a good joke, even at his own expense. Yet despite his chatty bonhomie, it is difficult to pin down the reason for the 75-year-old ex-king's decision to return to his place of birth. In fact, it took three long interviews— two in Athens, one in London—before he would address the topic.
One would certainly understand if he never wanted to return, given the often traumatic events of his young life, beginning with his family's escape from Greece just ahead of the invading Germans when he was a year old. The family settled in Cairo, where the infant prince nearly died after an intentional misdiagnosis by a doctor who was a communist agent (a second doctor diagnosed acute appendicitis and recommended a timely surgery). A year after his family returned to Greece, when he was six, he became the crown prince after his childless uncle, King George II, died and his father assumed the throne as King Paul.
The prince's parents created a rigorous boarding school, Anavryta, for his education and handpicked 14 boys to be his classmates. They became his closest friends for life. On weekends, away from the spartan school's regime of cold showers and 6 a.m. runs, the young prince would invite friends to the summer palace of Tatoi, north of Athens, where his parents held opulent balls and well-born Greek maidens dreamed of catching the eye of the handsome prince. It was not to be. At 19, on a state visit to Denmark, he fell hard for Princess Anne-Marie, youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and sister of the current queen, Margrethe II. She was just 13. On their second meeting, in 1961, when she was 15 and he was 21, he announced to his parents that he was going to marry Anne-Marie. "I didn't ask or suggest. I talked about it as a fait accompli," he recalled.
Convincing Anne-Marie's father was more difficult. When he asked Frederick IX for permission to marry his daughter, the king locked Constantine in a nearby bathroom. When Frederick told his wife, Queen Ingrid, of the proposal, she suggested he release Constantine and open a bottle of champagne.
Constantine was no slouch. He was a dashing young Olympic medalist, having won gold in sailing at the Rome summer games in 1960—the first gold medal for Greece since 1912. "It is the most wonderful feeling I've ever had, other than getting engaged to my wife," he said.
In March 1964, King Paul died of cancer, making his 23-year-old son King Constantine II. The new king and Anne-Marie married six months later, in Athens—two weeks after the bride's 18th birthday. "I was the first king ever to marry in Greece," he said with a smile. "And last year we were fortunate to celebrate our 50th anniversary—back in Athens, at the former Royal Yacht Club in Piraeus."
Less than three years after Constantine became king, a group of right-wing midlevel army officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos staged a coup d'état, on April 21, 1967, surrounding the palace at Tatoi with tanks. Many Greeks would suffer under Papadopoulos's dictatorship. "That night the colonels arrested somewhere between 6,000 and 8,000 people, including all my staff, in under two hours," Constantine told me. "I had to think of all the blood that would be shed if I openly opposed them."
A month after the coup, the king met a group of his old classmates. According to Anagnostopoulos, when they berated Constantine for recognizing the regime, he told them, "Don't worry, in six months everything will be straightened out."
On December 13, 1967, before dawn, the king launched a countercoup, flying with his pregnant wife, their two-year-old daughter, Alexia, seven-month old Crown Prince Pavlos, Constantine's mother Queen Frederica, and his sister Princess Irene to Kavala, a city in northern Greece—a place where he believed the army and its generals were loyal to him. He intended to create an alternative government in Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece.
The air force and navy immediately declared for the king and mobilized, but the colonels in Athens put together a force that advanced north, and within hours it was clear the countercoup had failed. "I understood afterward, when you start something like this, it has to work in the first hour, two hours maximum, or it's a waste of time," Constantine said. "You would have to enforce it with a lot of bloodshed. The Greeks had been through a terrible civil war, and I wasn't going to put them through that again."
That night, to avoid open conflict, Constantine flew his family out of the country, toward Italy; he piloted the plane himself. "We had less than three minutes of fuel when we touched down," he said. "I had to borrow $300 from my valet to refuel the plane, and my brother-in-law [King Juan Carlos] had to send me clothes."
On the heels of these agonizing events, Queen Anne-Marie suffered a miscarriage. "It was a very dark period in our history," Constantine said, with obvious emotion. "A lot of officers who supported me were badly treated by the colonels when we failed. But at least we all made a major effort to free our country from that dictatorship."
From Rome, Constantine declared, "I am sure I shall go back the way my ancestors did." (Both his grandfather King Constantine I and his uncle King George II spent large portions of their reigns in exile during the world wars, which caused George II to remark, "The most important tool for a king of Greece is a suitcase.") Constantine and his family lived for two months in the Greek embassy in Rome and then for five years in a house in a suburb.
Over the next year the junta sent feelers to the king, trying to negotiate terms under which he would return, but he insisted on the restoration of democracy. He believes the colonels also engineered two attempts on his life.
"The second time," he said, "I was going to Tehran to meet the shah. When I got to Heathrow, I noticed that the flight was quite long, with two stops, so I changed to a direct flight on British Airways. When I got to Tehran the shah told me there had been an assassin on the Frankfurt leg of the original flight, but his people had intercepted him. 'So what happened to the fellow?' I asked. 'Do you really want to know?' he said."
In 1973 the colonels in the junta were themselves replaced by younger officers, and when the new leaders tried to stage a coup in Cyprus in the summer of 1974, it prompted an invasion of the island by Turkey, and military rule in Greece collapsed.
As the dictatorship was crumbling, the veteran political leader Constantine Karamanlis, in self-exile in Paris, was in constant phone contact with the exiled king in London. "We had been talking throughout the day," Constantine said, "and that afternoon Karamanlis said he had been asked to go back to Athens. I said, 'By whom?' He said by people representing the junta. I said, 'Shall I come with you?' He said, 'No, let me go and see what is happening and I'll call you in the morning.'
"Of course," Constantine said, "the call never came."
Karamanlis formed a party, New Democracy, which won a resounding victory in November 1974, and then Constantine's former ally called for a referendum on the monarchy for December 8. The king was not allowed to go to Greece to campaign or to speak to the people on TV, and when the results were announced, only 31 percent of the population had voted for the king's restoration.
Having lost any hope for a return of the monarchy, the deposed king settled down in London, where he had moved in 1973. He opened an office in Mayfair and maintained contact with his supporters, who included wealthy Greek ship owners based in Britain.
In 1980, Constantine and Anne-Marie created the Hellenic College of London, where their own children were educated in both English and Greek. (After the escape from Greece and the miscarriage, Anne-Marie gave birth in Rome to Prince Nikolaos, in 1969, and then, in London, to Princess Theodora, in 1983, and Prince Philippos, in 1986.)
A devastating moment in Constantine's long exile occurred in February 1981, when his mother died, at the age of 63, in Madrid of heart failure during eyelid surgery. The Greek government announced that it would allow the former king and his family to return for only a few hours to bury her in the family cemetery at Tatoi, where Constantine and his sisters had spent idyllic summers as children.
Constantine began negotiations in 1986 with the government of Andreas Papandreou to receive a financial settlement for seized property that had belonged to the king: the 10,000-acre Tatoi estate, the royal estate of Mon Repos, on Corfu (birthplace of many royals, including Prince Philip; it is now a public park and museum), and 7,500 acres of timberland in central Greece. Two years later "we reached an agreement that Papandreou was supposed to sign on a Thursday," Constantine said. "But that Wednesday he collapsed from a heart problem and was rushed to a hospital in England. Our agreement was never signed."
When Papandreou lost the election the following year, negotiations continued with the new government, and a tentative agreement was reached. But when Papandreou returned to power in 1993, he revoked that agreement. According to Costas Strongylos, a longtime friend of Constantine's and his private secretary since 1999, "Under the new law, enacted in 1994, all of the king's property was confiscated by the Greek state. The law further stated that in order for the king and his family to hold Greek passports, they had to accept the referendum abolishing the monarchy and select an ordinary last name like those used by all other Greek citizens."
The king then sued in the European Court of Human Rights, which set aside the name issue and asked for valuations of the king's properties. The government's appraisers put the value at $550 million, according to Strongylos; the king's put it at $500 million. The courts handed the case to a commission of three, which decided that the former royal family would not receive either estimate; the king would have to settle for 12 mil- lion euros, and his sister Irene for 900,000 euros.
The Greek government waited until the last day permitted by the ruling, then paid the king out of the country's natural disasters fund, in order to make it look as if Constantine were depleting his country's emergency resources. He countered by putting the money into the Anna-Maria Foundation, to allocate the funds back to the Greek people for use in "extraordinary natural disasters and charitable causes."
Constantine insists that he long ago accepted the rejection of the monarchy. "If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it," he told Time in 2002. What was impossible to accept was the enforced exile. To keep Constantine and his family out of Greece, in the early 1980s the government sent an order to all consulates to deny any requests by members of the former royal family to have their passports renewed, effectively rendering them stateless persons. For a time they traveled on passports issued by the Spanish government, which listed the king's name as "Constantino de Grecia." Now he and his wife travel with Danish passports, which identify them as "H.M. King Constantine" and "H.M. Queen Anne-Marie."
The first time they ventured back to Greece after burying Queen Frederica was in 1993, when they flew into Thessaloniki, boarded a friend's yacht, and sailed down the Aegean to the wealthy Porto Heli area. Constantine remembered being "followed all the way by navy vessels, as if we were an invading force."
As the 2004 summer Olympics in Athens approached, everyone knew that the ex-king would be coming to Greece as an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee. "Ever since they created the republic through the referendum in 1974, I decided to stay away and not interfere," he said. "But as time passed, I had the feeling that they were going to use my presence at the Olympic Games to say that I was trying to come back as king. I wasn't going to have any of that. So I came back to Greece in 2003—the year before the Olympics. Everyone was taken by surprise."
When Constantine and Anne-Marie landed in Athens, "it was clear nobody realized we were on the plane. We showed the passports and suddenly they said, 'The king is in the VIP lounge!' and there was all kinds of commotion. Then I called the Greek ambassador back in London and said, 'Tell the government the king is back in Greece, and here is my itinerary. I'm going to Tatoi to have a memorial service for my parents, and then I'm going to the Pentelikon Hotel to spend the night. I will leave the next morning.' I came to show them I could come when I wanted to come, not when someone told me I could."
After the first surprise visit, the king and his family came back more often, without the excitement. But his arrival in Greece as a representative of the Olympics in the summer of 2004 was filled with irony and drew unexpected support from all points on the political spectrum. "As I approached the president, every pair of eyes were on us," Constantine remembered. "I said to the poor man, 'Mr. President, do you do rousfetia [favors]?' And he said, 'What's on your mind?' I said, 'I want you to invite my family to the palace, to see all the changes.' "
" 'Of course!' he replied. 'Just tell your secretary and mine to agree on the date.' "
That visit to what had once been the royal palace in Athens, now the presidential palace, occurred on December 24, 2004. "It was horrible!" Constantine exclaimed. "All the former bedrooms don't exist. Gone! Everything else—every room—is an office. I asked him, 'How many people work here?' He told me 120. I had 13.
"Today the president has a huge amount of security, and according to the constitution the president is paid a salary and it's his money," Constantine continued. "Now the running of the presidential palace is paid for with the taxpayers' money. So are the president's telephones, heating, cars, drivers, clothes, state visits—all paid for by the state. For us it was the complete opposite. We were paid X amount—I think it was 7 million drachmas— and I paid for my own education with an inheritance, because my father was running out of money. Part of the excuse against me was that royalty costs too much. But royalty costs so much less! Today we have, I don't know, three or four former heads of state. All of them have pensions, and so do all their police, security, drivers, and secretaries."
Through all the vicissitudes Constantine has endured over the years, the one foundation that has provided him with a sense of security is the friendship of the 14 men who, years ago, were chosen to be his fourth-grade classmates in the newly created Anavryta School. The boys had been selected through tests of their intelligence and chosen to represent all classes of Greek society. They had only alternate weekends free to go home, and if their parents could not afford the boarding fees, they were given full scholarships.
"The Anavryta School was set up in Kifissia by King Paul so that Constantine would be educated with smart Greek boys from different backgrounds," said Panayiotis Soucacos, who was one of those 14 boys and is now a professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Athens Medical School. "It was established on the principles of German educator Kurt Hahn, who founded the Gordonstoun School in Scotland, where British royals have gone, including Prince Philip and Prince Charles. Of the 14 in the first class, 13 are still alive. All did well. Five became university professors, four in medicine [including Anagnostopoulos, a clinical professor of surgery at the Columbia University Medical Center, in New York] and one in nuclear physics. The others became successful businessmen."
Tales of Constantine's loyalty and kindness to his former classmates abound. "Constantine was not only best man at my wedding and my daughter's, he baptized two of my granddaughters, too," said Anagnostopoulos, who feels that his friend's decision to return to Greece ultimately has to do with "wanting to end his life where he began it. Constantine is happiest when he's there."
"He's homesick—down-to-the-bone homesick," said Soucacos. "Besides his family, and standing up to the junta, he's proudest of winning an Olympic gold medal for Greece. He has never thought of any other place as home."
Back in 2002, Constantine told Larry King that the only good thing about living in exile was that he had "much more time to see my children grow up." But the children have done that and gone. His youngest son, Philippos, 29, works in finance in New York, and his youngest daughter, Theodora, 31, is an actress in Hollywood (as Theodora Greece). Nikolaos, 45, is married to Tatiana Blatnik and lives in Kastri, Greece, in an apartment owned by the daughter of the king's late nemesis, Papandreou. Eldest son Pavlos, 48, married Marie-Chantal Miller, whose billionaire father, Robert Warren Miller, developed duty-free shops at airports; they live with their five children in London. The eldest, Alexia, 50, is married to an architect, Carlos Morales Quintana, and they live with their four children in Spain. "My eldest grandchild turned 16 yesterday," Constantine said. "He's a diver. He's everything: a rower, a diver, a scholar. We are very lucky with our grandchildren."
Seven years ago, at the age of 68, Constantine underwent heart surgery in London—a reminder of his mortality that undoubtedly fueled his desire to move home full-time. When he's in Greece he lives in Porto Heli, the seaside town he visited years ago followed by the Greek navy. According to Costas Strongylos, Constantine financed the purchase of the house by "selling his London properties for a good profit. He also made money in business deals in the Middle East."
The result is a lavish if less than royal life that does feature his other great love: the sea. "He can sail his caïque any time he wants, and he does almost every afternoon," Strongylos said. "He takes her out from three to seven, finds a quiet cove, and anchors there to swim and relax."
Near the end of our interviews, Constantine finally offered his reasons for returning. We were sitting in the Byzantino Restaurant at the Athens Hilton with Nikolaos. "Look a t ancient Greek history," he said. "All Greeks who live in exile, they want to go back. It's in the blood. Funnily enough, the one pushing hardest was my wife. I think she realized I would be happy only when I came back home."
But why, when so many others have chosen to flee, has he gone in the other direction and thrown in his lot—and his own still considerable resources—with the country that revoked his birth- right? Why return to his homeland when it has been reduced to economic chaos?
In a way, his reasons for returning reflect his attitude about the future of his troubled country. History presents ample evidence of the resiliency of the Greeks. "They have seen their standard of living drop by 30 percent and unemployment soar to more than 25 percent," he said. "It's painful to see how much suffering they have endured. But the Greeks are a tough people who not only know how to enjoy life but how to endure hardship. We suffered centuries of subjugation under the Ottoman Turks, a brutal Nazi occupation, and a devastating civil war, but we bounced back to create a beautiful land to call home. Everyone must take great care not to allow our glorious country to fall into the kind of national division that brought so much misery in the past. I have faith that Greeks will face our current troubles with patience and resolve and that we will prevail."
During our conversation Constantine confided that he has already decided where he will be buried: the royal cemetery on the grounds of Tatoi. "My family doesn't like it when I talk about it, but I've chosen the spot...that part where the graves are shad- owed by blossoming hickory trees, farther down and a little to the left of my father. Facing toward the sea..."
It's an appropriate place to spend eternity—overlooking what has drawn Greeks homeward since Odysseus made his way back to Ithaka. Like Homer's legendary hero, the former king has returned with no title to find a palace crumbling into ruins, but he considers himself fortunate to be back on his native ground, in life and in death. As the poet C.P. Cavafy wrote about Odysseus's long search for home:
Arriving there is what you are
destined for
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't
have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become,
so full of experience,
You will have understood by then
what these Ithakas mean.

Greece's royal family was previously led by King Constantine II before the monarchy was abolished in 1973. Here's a guide to the family's modern royals, from Crown Prince Pavlos to Princess Maria-Olympia.

Though they are no longer legally recognized, the members of the Greek royal family remain prominent figures in society.
Beginning with King George I in 1863, the monarchy ruled in Greece until 1924, and again from 1935 to 1973. The last king of Greece, Constantine II, took the throne at age 23 after the death of his father, Paul I, in 1964. After only a few years in power, however, King Constantine was forced to flee the country after a right-wing military dictatorship staged a coup in 1967.
Following an unsuccessful counter-coup from the king and his supporters, Constantine left for Rome and eventually relocated to London, living in exile for many years with his wife, Queen Anne-Marie, and their children. The monarchy was officially abolished in 1973, but Constantine did not return to Greece permanently until 2013. Instead, he and his family lived for many years in Hampstead Garden Suburb in London, where he was said to have close ties to now King Charles III.
Even after the king's death in 2023, his surviving wife goes by the title of Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, and other members of the family still stylize themselves with royal titles.
Constantine and Anne-Marie's five children — Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos — and nine grandchildren continue to represent the now-defunct Greek monarchy. As the first son, Pavlos is his father's heir and holds the symbolic title of the crown prince.
While many of the royal family members still live in Europe, others have moved to the U.S. to pursue their education and careers like acting, modeling and entrepreneurship.

King Constantine II
Constantine II, the last king of Greece, was born in Athens, Greece, on June 2, 1940, to King Paul and Frederica of Hanover. Paul was the late Prince Philip's first cousin and Constantine was reportedly close with his second cousin King Charles. He also became godfather to Prince William.
Constantine went to boarding school and attended the three branches of military academies before studying law at the University of Athens. In 1960, he won a gold medal in sailing at the Rome Olympics and later became a member of the International Olympic Committee.
Following the death of his father in March 1964, Constantine succeeded the throne at age 23. He married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on Sept. 18, 1964, and the couple went on to welcome five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos.
King Constantine and Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou came into power around the same time, and the two men clashed often. In April 1967, a military regime known as the Greek junta (or Regime of the Colonels) led a coup; the junta arrested Papandreou, and the king bartered an agreement with the group by recognizing their government. But Constantine had a tenuous relationship with the junta, and in December 1967, he attempted to overthrow their military forces.
When it became clear that the king's coup was failing, Constantine and his family flew to Rome. The Greek monarchy was eventually abolished in 1973, and the junta collapsed just over a year later. Constantine lived in exile in the Hampstead Garden Suburb of London with his family for many years. He returned to Greece in 2013.
On Jan. 10, 2023, Constantine died of a stroke at age 82 in Athens.
A memorial service of Thanksgiving was held at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle on Feb. 27, 2024. While members of the British royal family did attend, led by Queen Camilla, Prince William wasn't one of them, despite being scheduled to read at the ceremony. Before the service began, William pulled out due to a personal matter, according to Kensington Palace.
Queen Anne-Marie
Queen Anne-Marie was born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on Aug. 30, 1946, in Copenhagen to King Frederick IX of Denmark and Queen Consort Ingrid of Sweden.
18-year-old Anne-Marie married Constantine in Athens in September 1964, making her the first Danish princess to marry a reigning monarch since 1680, according to the New York Times.
Just three years after she and Constantine were wed, they were forced into exile, and her wedding dress was lost in the Tatoi Palace archives. But in November 2023, Town & Country reported that the dress was found again, per a Greek journalist.
"Here is the wedding dress of Queen Anne-Marie located in Tatoi, where a few days ago it was revealed among the personal belongings of the royal family preserved and kept there," Megos wrote on Instagram in the caption in Greek.
The couple welcomed five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos, all of whom are princes and princesses of both Greece and Denmark, though they don't appear in Denmark's line of succession.
At her husband's funeral in January 2023, Anne-Marie wore the same diamond cross necklace she debuted on their wedding day.

|
Constantine II (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Βʹ, Konstantínos II; 2 June 1940 – 10 January 2023) was the last King of Greece, from 6 March 1964 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Constantine was the only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece. As his family was forced into exile during the Second World War, he spent the first years of his childhood in Egypt and South Africa. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946 during the Greek Civil War. King George II died in 1947, and Constantine's father became the new king, making Constantine the crown prince.
He acceded as king in 1964 following the death of his father, King Paul. Later that year he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark with whom he eventually had five children. Although the accession of the young monarch was initially regarded auspiciously, his reign saw political instability that culminated in the Colonels' Coup of 21 April 1967. The coup left Constantine, as the head of state, little room to manoeuvre since he had no loyal military forces on which to rely. As a result, he reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the junta on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers. On 13 December 1967, Constantine was forced to flee the country, following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta. He remained (formally) the head of state in exile until the junta abolished the monarchy on 1 June 1973. The 1973 Greek republic referendum on 29 July, ratified the abolition. There were questions concerning the validity of this referendum and whether people were pressured to vote for a republic. Therefore, a fresh referendum was held after the restoration of democracy in 1974. This second referendum was held after the fall of the junta as the 1974 Greek republic referendum on 8 December 1974 and confirmed the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Third Hellenic Republic. Constantine, who was not allowed to return to Greece to campaign, accepted the results of the plebiscite.
Constantine was also a competitive sailor and Olympian, winning a gold medal in the 1960 Rome Olympics in the Dragon class, and later serving on the International Olympic Committee. Along with his fellow crew members of the Nireus sailing vessel, he was named one of the 1960 Greek Athletes of the Year.
Early life
Constantine was born in the afternoon of 2 June 1940 at his parents' residence, Villa Psychiko at Leoforos Diamantidou 14 in Psychiko, a suburb of Athens. He was the nephew of George II, and also the second child and only legitimate son of the childless king's younger brother and heir presumptive, Crown Prince Paul. His mother, Princess Frederica of Hanover, was the only daughter of Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick and Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia. The birth of a male heir to the throne was anxiously awaited by the Greek royal family and was celebrated with a 101–gun salute from Mount Lycabettus in Athens. According to Greek naming practices, being the first son, he was named for his paternal grandfather, Constantine I. At his baptism in Athens, the Hellenic Armed Forces acted as his godparent.
At birth, Prince Constantine had an elder sister, Princess Sofia, born in 1938, who would later become Queen of Spain as the wife of the now retired Juan Carlos I of Spain. The family was later joined by a younger sister, Princess Irene, born in 1942.
Constantine's birth took place during the beginning of World War II. He was just a few months old when Fascist Italy on 28 October 1940 invaded Greece from Albania, beginning the Greco-Italian War. The Greek Army was able to halt the invasion temporarily and was able to push the Italians back into Albania. However, the Greek successes forced Nazi Germany to intervene. The Germans invaded Greece and Yugoslavia on 6 April 1941, and overran both countries within a month, despite British aid to Greece in the form of an expeditionary corps. On 22 April 1941, Princess Frederica and her two children, Sofia and Constantine, were evacuated to Crete in a British Short Sunderland flying boat, along with most of the Greek royal family. The next day they were followed by King George and Prince Paul. However, the imminent German invasion of Crete quickly made the situation untenable, and Constantine and his family were evacuated from Crete to Egypt already on 30 April 1941, a fortnight before the German attack on the island.
Constantine and his family then spent the next four years in exile in Egypt and Cape Town, South Africa, (where his sister Irene was born) with his family. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946. King George died in 1947, and Constantine's father became the new king, making Constantine the crown prince.
Crown Prince
Constantine was educated at a preparatory school and later a boarding school (Victoria College in Alexandria, Egypt, where his classmates included King Hussein of Jordan and actor Omar Sharif). A fellow student recalled him as "a good chap, a young man with all the right instincts. He was at his best on the playing fields."
Constantine served in all three branches of the Hellenic Armed Forces, attending the requisite military academies. He also attended the NATO Air Force Special Weapons School in Germany, as well as the University of Athens, where he took courses in the school of law.
Constantine II of Greece Medal record Men's sailing Representing Greece Olympic Games Gold 1960 Rome Dragon
Constantine was an able sportsman. In 1960, aged 20, he won an Olympic gold medal in sailing (dragon class), which was the first Greek gold medal in sailing since the Stockholm 1912 Summer Olympics. He was also a strong swimmer and had a black belt in karate, with interests in squash, track events and riding. In 1963 Constantine became a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He resigned in 1974 because he was no longer a Greek resident, and was made an Honorary IOC Member. He was an honorable member of the International Soling Association and honorable President of the International Dragon Association.
Reign
In 1964, Paul I's health deteriorated rapidly. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer and was operated on for an ulcer in February. Prior to this, Constantine had already been appointed regent for his ailing father while waiting for his recovery. However, as the king's condition worsened, the crown prince went to Tinos to get an icon considered miraculous by the Greek Orthodox Church. The holy image, however, was not enough to cure the sovereign, and on 6 March 1964, King Paul died and the 23-year-old Constantine succeeded him as King of the Hellenes. The new king ascended the throne as Constantine II, although some of his supporters preferred to call him Constantine XIII to emphasize the continuity between the former Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Greece.
Due to his youth, he was also perceived as a promise of change. Greece was still feeling the effects of the Civil War of 1944–49 between communists and monarchists, and society was strongly polarised between the royalist/conservative right and the liberal/socialist left. The accession of Constantine coincided with the recent election of Centrist George Papandreou as prime minister in February 1964, which ended 11 years of right-wing rule by the National Radical Union (ERE). It was hoped that the new young king and the new prime minister would be able to overcome past dissensions.
After the resignation of Andreas Papandreou, Constantine appointed a new government led by Georgios Athanasiadis-Novas, who failed to ensure the Parliament's confidence. After this failure, Novas was succeeded by Ilias Tsirimokos, who also failed to form a stable government and was dismissed. Constantine next appointed some of Papandreou's dissidents, known as the July Apostates and led by Stefanos Stefanopoulos, to form a government of "king's men", which lasted until December 1966, amidst mounting strikes and protests, supported by the right-wing ERE.
When Stefanopoulos resigned in frustration, Constantine appointed a caretaker government under Ioannis Paraskevopoulos, which called elections for May 1967. This government did not even last until the scheduled elections. It was replaced on 3 April 1967 by another caretaker government under the leader of the ERE, Panagiotis Kanellopoulos.
Greek dictatorship 1967–1974
Elections were scheduled for 28 May 1967, with expectations of a wide Centrist victory. According to United States diplomat John Day, the Americans worried that, due to the old age of George Papandreou, Andreas Papandreou would have a very powerful role in the next government.
According to United States diplomats Robert Keely and John Owens, who were attached to the United States embassy in Greece at the time, Constantine asked United States Ambassador Phillips Talbot what the attitude of the United States government would be to an extra-parliamentary solution to this problem. The embassy responded negatively in principle, adding that "US reaction to such a move cannot be determined in advance but would depend on circumstances at time". To this day, Constantine denies all this. According to Talbot, after this communication, Constantine met with the generals of the army, who promised the king that they would not take any action before the coming elections. However, they were nervous by the proclamations of Andreas Papandreou and reserved to themselves the right to reconsider possible courses of action according to the results of the election.
A traditionalist, right-wing nationalist group of middle-ranking army officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos took action first and staged a coup d'état on 21 April. The coup leaders met Constantine at his residence in Tatoi, which was surrounded by tanks to prevent resistance. Constantine later recounted that the officers of the tank platoons believed they were carrying out the coup under his orders. The king argued with the colonels and initially dismissed them. Later in the day, he went to the Ministry of National Defence, where all the coup leaders were gathered, and had a discussion with Kanellopoulos and with leading generals. He agreed to concede to the military demands and swear in the new regime only after the junta agreed to include a number of civilian politicians, with a royalist nominee, Konstantinos Kollias, as prime minister. Panayotis Kanellopoulos, the last legitimate prime minister of Greece prior to the coup, urged the king to use his status as commander-in-chief of the Greek military to order loyal officers to crush the coup. Constantine apparently refused to do so because he feared bloodshed.
From the outset, the relationship between Constantine and the regime of the colonels was an uneasy one. Constantine organised a counter-coup, though no help or involvement of the United States was forthcoming. The king finally decided to launch his counter-coup on 13 December 1967. Since Athens was effectively in the hands of the junta militarily, Constantine decided to fly to the small northern city of Kavala, east of Thessaloniki. There he hoped to be among troops loyal only to him. The vague plan he and his advisors had conceived was to form a unit that would advance to Thessaloniki (Greece's second biggest city and unofficial capital of northern Greece) and take it. Constantine planned to install an alternative administration there. International recognition, which he believed to be forthcoming, as well as internal pressure from the fact that Greece would have been split into two governments would, the king hoped, force the junta to resign, leaving the field clear for him to return triumphant to Athens.
In the early morning hours of 13 December, the king boarded the royal plane together with Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, their two young children, Princess Alexia and Prince Pavlos, his mother, Queen Frederica, and his sister, Princess Irene. Constantine also took with him Premier Kollias. At first things seemed to be going according to plan. Constantine was well received in Kavala which, militarily, was under the command of a general loyal to him. The air force and navy, both strongly royalist and not involved in the 1967 coup, immediately declared for him and mobilised. Another of Constantine's generals effectively cut all communication between Athens and the north.
Under these circumstances, rather than managing to put together a force and advancing on Thessaloniki, middle-ranking pro-junta officers neutralised and arrested his royalist generals and took command of their units, which subsequently put together a force advancing on Kavala to arrest the king. Realising that the counter-coup had failed, Constantine fled Greece on the royal plane, taking his family and premier with him. They landed in Rome early in the morning of 14 December, where they remained in exile through the rest of military rule (although he continued as king until 1 June 1973). He was never to return to Greece as a reigning king.
Constantine stated, "I am sure I shall go back the way my ancestors did." The world had changed significantly though since the monarchy had made its last comeback. Constantine continued to watch events from abroad. He said to the Toronto Star:
I consider myself King of the Hellenes and sole expression of legality in my country until the Greek people freely decide otherwise. I fully expected that the (military) regime would depose me eventually. They are frightened of the Crown because it is a unifying force among the people.
With Constantine abroad, Colonel George Papadopoulos appointed himself prime minister and General George Zoitakis as regent.
Over the next year the junta sent intermediaries to the king to negotiate the terms on which he might return to Greece. But Constantine insisted on the full restoration of democracy under the existing constitution as a precondition, and Papadopoulos would not agree to this. Instead the regime promulgated a new constitution in November 1968, which retained the monarchy, but stripped it of its powers, and provided for a permanent regency until the king chose to accept the new order. This standoff continued until 1972, when Papadopoulos dismissed Zoitakis and appointed himself regent.
In June 1973, Papadopoulos condemned Constantine as "a collaborator with foreign forces and with murderers" and accused him of "pursuing ambitions to become a political leader". In May, officers of the largely royalist navy staged an abortive coup, although Constantine himself was not involved. Papadopoulos retaliated by declaring Greece a republic on 1 June, a decision which was confirmed by a plebiscite on 29 July. The vote was widely acknowledged to be rigged. Constantine refused to accept the outcome. Papadopoulos then declared himself president, but in November there was a coup within the regime and he was replaced by General Phaidon Ghizikis, who was a front for the new military strongman, Dimitrios Ioannidis.
Restoration of democracy and the referendum
In July 1974, the events in Cyprus led to the downfall of the military regime, and Karamanlis returned from exile to become prime minister. The 1973 republican constitution was regarded as illegitimate, and the new administration issued a decree restoring the 1952 constitution. Constantine confidently awaited an invitation to return. On 24 July he declared his "deep satisfaction with the initiative of the armed forces in overthrowing the dictatorial regime" and welcomed the advent of Karamanlis as prime minister.
The former king visited both Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street and openly declared his hope to be shortly returning to Greece. However, the 1952 constitution was not restored with the overthrow of the illegal junta. Following Karamanlis' resounding victory in the November 1974 parliamentary elections (his New Democracy party won 54.4% of the vote), he called a referendum (held on 8 December 1974) on whether Greece would restore the monarchy or remain a republic.
Although he had been the leader of the traditionally monarchist right, Karamanlis made no attempt to restore the democratic constitution of 1952. The former king was not allowed by the government to return to Greece to campaign for the restoration of constitutional monarchy. He was only allowed to broadcast to the Greek people from London on television. Analysts claim this was a deliberate act by the government to undermine any chance to restore the monarchy.
The left voted overwhelmingly for the republic because the former king was perceived by them as having engaged in political interference far beyond the scope of the prerogative. They also objected to the perceived influence exercised by members of the royal family who had no constitutional role in the political life of the country; the former king's mother, Queen Frederica, being a case in point.
The republic received overwhelming support by the centrist voters who condemned Constantine for, among other things, swearing in the junta in 1967. They also blamed his reluctance to sever all ties with the junta once in exile, and the dismissal of the legitimately elected George Papandreou administration (Apostasia of 1965), the event which some believed led to the coup.
Constantine, speaking from London, freely admitted his past mistakes. He claimed to have sound democratic intentions in the future and promised that his mother would stay away from the country. Local monarchists campaigned on his behalf. The vote to restore the monarchy was only about 31% with most of the support coming from the Peloponnese region. Almost 69% of the electorate voted against the restoration of the monarchy and for the establishment of a republic.
In exile
Constantine remained in exile for forty years after the vote in favour of the republic. He was strongly discouraged from returning to Greece, and he did not return until February 1981, when the government allowed him to return for only a few hours, to attend the funeral of his mother, Queen Frederica, in the family cemetery of the former Royal Palace at Tatoi.
There were also legal disputes with the Greek state. In 1992 he concluded an agreement with the conservative government of Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis, ceding most of his land in Greece to a non-profit foundation in exchange for the former palace of Tatoi, near Athens, and the right to export a number of movables from Greece. The latter reportedly included privately owned art treasures from the royal palaces. As such, no formal account of what was removed was ever given or needed to be given. In 1993, Constantine visited Greece, but faced with government insecurity, he was asked to leave. In 1994, the second government of Andreas Papandreou passed new legislation reversing the 1992 agreement and stripping Constantine of his property in Greece and his Greek citizenship.
Constantine sued Greece at the European Court of Human Rights for €500 million in compensation for the seized property. He won a much smaller amount, receiving a monetary compensation of €12 million for the lost property, with a far smaller sum awarded to his unmarried younger sister, Princess Irene, and his aunt Princess Katherine. The Greek government chose to pay out of the "extraordinary natural disasters" fund, but was not obliged by the court's decision to return any lands (the Court of Human Rights awards only monetary compensation).
Constantine, in turn, created the Anna Maria Foundation, to allocate the funds in question back to the Greek people for use in "extraordinary natural disasters" and charitable causes. The court decision also ruled that Constantine's human rights were not violated by the Greek state's decision not to grant him Greek citizenship and passport unless he adopts a surname.
Later life and death
Following the abolition of the monarchy, Constantine repeatedly stated that he recognized the Republic, the laws and the constitution of Greece. He told Time, "If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it."
Constantine and Anne-Marie for many years lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, Constantine being a close friend of his second cousin Charles III, and a godfather to William, Prince of Wales, his second cousin once removed. He sold his house in Hampstead in 2013.
Constantine was a patron of Box Hill School, a private school in Dorking, in the south of England.
In 2004, Constantine returned to Greece temporarily during the Athens Olympic Games as a member of the International Olympic Committee. On 24 December 2004, Constantine and Anne-Marie and members of the former royal family visited the Presidential Mansion (the former Royal Palace) in Athens where Constantine met President Costis Stephanopoulos, who gave them a tour.
According to a nationwide 2007 survey of 2,040 households conducted on behalf of the newspaper To Vima, only 11.6% supported a constitutional monarchy. More than half of the respondents, 50.9%, considered the dictatorship of the junta had brought benefits to Greece.
During the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics, Constantine, in his role as honorary member of the International Olympic Committee, was the official presenter at the sailing medal ceremonies. He was Co-President of Honour of the International Sailing Federation with King Harald V of Norway, since 1994.
In 2013, Constantine returned to reside in Greece. He and his wife Anne-Marie purchased a villa in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese, residing there until they relocated to Athens in the spring of 2022.
In November 2015, his autobiography was published in three volumes by the national newspaper, To Vima. It has not yet been published in English.
Constantine incurred a series of health problems in the final years of his life, including heart conditions and decreased mobility. He died on 10 January 2023, at the age of 82, several days after being hospitalised in Athens for a stroke.

Titles, styles and honours
Titles and styles
Until 1994, Constantine's official Greek passport identified him as "Constantine, former King of the Hellenes". A law passed in 1994 stripped him of his Greek citizenship, passport, and property. The law stated that Constantine could not be granted a Greek passport unless he adopted a surname. Constantine has stated: "I don't have a name—my family doesn't have a name. The law that Mr Papandreou passed basically says that he considers that I am not Greek and that my family was Greek only so long as we were exercising the responsibilities of sovereign, and I had to go out and acquire a name. The problem is that my family originates from Denmark, and the Danish royal family haven't got a surname." Glücksburg, he said, was not a family name but the name of a town. "I might as well call myself Mr. Kensington."
Constantine freely traveled in and out of Greece on a Danish passport, as Constantino de Grecia (Spanish for 'Constantine of Greece'), because Denmark (upon request) issues diplomatic passports to any descendants of King Christian IX and Queen Louise, and Constantine was a Prince of Denmark in his own right. During his first visit to Greece using this passport, Constantine was mocked by some of the Greek media, which hellenized the "de Grecia" designation and used it as a surname, thus naming him Κωνσταντίνος Ντεγκρέτσιας ('Constantine Degrecias').
The International Olympic Committee continued to refer to Constantine as His Majesty King Constantine. In Greece, he was referred to as ο τέως βασιλιάς or ο πρώην βασιλιάς ('the former king'). His official website lists his "correct form of address" as King Constantine, former King of the Hellenes.

Following the sad news that King Constantine II, the last monarch of Greece, has passed away aged 82, his wife of 58 years Queen Anne-Marie will be helping to organise his private funeral.
King Charles' second cousin Constantine was being treated at a private hospital in Athens for ill health before his office released an official statement confirming his death on Wednesday. It read: "It is with deep sadness that the Royal Family announces that HM King Constantine, beloved husband, father, and brother, passed away yesterday, January 10, 2023, while being treated at 'HYGEIA' hospital in Greece."
WATCH: King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie did not have the most expensive royal wedding of all time. See who took the top spot...
The former King, who was exiled in 1967, was 24 when he married his wife, then 18, in 1964. The couple welcomed five children Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos before Constantine sadly passed away. Look back at Prince William's godfather Constantine's marriage with Anne-Marie…
How did King Constantine meet his wife Anne-Marie?
The royals were married for 58 years before the King passed away in January 2023
Then-Crown Prince Constantine, aged 19, first crossed paths with 13-year-old Anne-Marie when he accompanied his parents King Paul and Queen Frederica on a State Visit to Denmark, where he was hosted by Anne-Marie's parents King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid.

Two years later, the couple met again in Denmark, and things turned romantic when Anne-Marie acted as bridesmaid to his sister, Sofía, in Athens in May 1962. Following several visits to Denmark to see Anne-Marie, Constantine proposed just months later during a trip to Norway. But it was not initially announced to the press…
When did King Constantine propose to Anne-Marie?
The couple announced their engagement in 1963
Considering Anne-Marie was just 16 at the time of Constantine's proposal, her father was hesitant about giving his blessing. He asked the couple to keep their engagement secret until she had finished her education and turned 18.
In January 1963, the Danish royal court announced the couple's plans to marry in 1965. See the heartbreaking reason why the royal wedding was moved forward…

When did King Constantine get married?
The royal wedding took place earlier than planned following Constantine's accession to the throne
King Paul was diagnosed with cancer in 1964 and tragically passed away from a pulmonary embolism in March 1964, meaning Constantine's accession to the throne. His wedding to Anne-Marie was brought forward to 18 September 1964, when the couple exchanged vows in front of 1,200 guests, including King Charles, before enjoying a reception at the Royal Palace.
What wedding dress did King Constantine's wife Anne-Marie wear?
In a nod to her Danish heritage, Anne-Marie rocked a wedding dress by Danish designer Jorgen Bender, complete with cropped sleeves and an empire line waist and a 20-foot train. She teamed it with a diamond tiara belonging to her mother and a lace veil from her grandmother Margaret. Meanwhile, the King wore his white uniform.
Three years later, Constantine was forced into exile after clashing with military rulers.

Once upon a time, in a kingdom by the sea, a handsome 24-year-old king married a beautiful 18-year-old princess, and the people of the kingdom rejoiced, and the king and queen lived in a golden palace in the capital, surrounded by royal gardens.
The king in this fairy tale was Constantine II of Greece. His teenage bride was Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark. But in 1967, three years after their wedding, after a coup and a failed countercoup, the young couple and their two small children were driven out of Greece, making a harrowing escape that forced the family into more than four decades of exile. In 1974, while Constantine was living in England and forbidden to speak on his own behalf, the king's subjects abolished the monarchy and stripped the royal family of its palaces, titles, property, and passports.
Now, almost 50 years after he left Greece, at a moment when the eyes of the world regard the country with pity and sorrow, when wealthy Greeks have long since stashed their money in other countries, and when young Greeks are desperately seeking ways to go anywhere else to find work, Constantine, no longer young, has chosen to move back to his native land, investing heavily in a new home for his remaining years and living as a commoner.
It's not as if his life of exile gave him no pleasure. Constantine has thrived for decades at the pinnacle of international society,socializing with Europe's royals (most of them his relatives). In 1986, to celebrate Queen Anne-Marie's 40th birthday, Constantine took over Claridge's Hotel in London for a ball attended by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip (Constantine's cousin), along with Prince Charles and Princess Diana, King Juan Carlos of Spain and his wife Queen Sofía (Constantine's sister), Queen Margrethe of Denmark (his sister-in-law), and virtually all the other royals of Europe. The glittering crowd danced to Lester Lanin's orchestra until dawn, when breakfast was served.
When Constantine turned 60, in 2000, Prince Charles hosted a gala at his country home, Highgrove. It was on that occasion that Queen Elizabeth and Camilla Parker Bowles retired to a convenient room for their first private conversation.
So the question must be asked: Why, at the moment of his country's greatest economic turmoil, would Constantine elect to return to a commoner's existence in Greece, the country that took away his crown, and even his citizenship?
"It's a mystery to us," said Dino Anagnostopoulos, the king's lifelong friend and former classmate. "I don't understand how a man who knows everybody who is anybody in this world would choose to go back to Greece—and especially now, when the country is going through such hard times."
"Why" has become the central mystery of Constantine's life. In person he comes across as a regular guy. He speaks fluent English with a bit of a British accent, and he enjoys hearing and telling a good joke, even at his own expense. Yet despite his chatty bonhomie, it is difficult to pin down the reason for the 75-year-old ex-king's decision to return to his place of birth. In fact, it took three long interviews— two in Athens, one in London—before he would address the topic.
One would certainly understand if he never wanted to return, given the often traumatic events of his young life, beginning with his family's escape from Greece just ahead of the invading Germans when he was a year old. The family settled in Cairo, where the infant prince nearly died after an intentional misdiagnosis by a doctor who was a communist agent (a second doctor diagnosed acute appendicitis and recommended a timely surgery). A year after his family returned to Greece, when he was six, he became the crown prince after his childless uncle, King George II, died and his father assumed the throne as King Paul.
The prince's parents created a rigorous boarding school, Anavryta, for his education and handpicked 14 boys to be his classmates. They became his closest friends for life. On weekends, away from the spartan school's regime of cold showers and 6 a.m. runs, the young prince would invite friends to the summer palace of Tatoi, north of Athens, where his parents held opulent balls and well-born Greek maidens dreamed of catching the eye of the handsome prince. It was not to be. At 19, on a state visit to Denmark, he fell hard for Princess Anne-Marie, youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and sister of the current queen, Margrethe II. She was just 13. On their second meeting, in 1961, when she was 15 and he was 21, he announced to his parents that he was going to marry Anne-Marie. "I didn't ask or suggest. I talked about it as a fait accompli," he recalled.
Convincing Anne-Marie's father was more difficult. When he asked Frederick IX for permission to marry his daughter, the king locked Constantine in a nearby bathroom. When Frederick told his wife, Queen Ingrid, of the proposal, she suggested he release Constantine and open a bottle of champagne.
Constantine was no slouch. He was a dashing young Olympic medalist, having won gold in sailing at the Rome summer games in 1960—the first gold medal for Greece since 1912. "It is the most wonderful feeling I've ever had, other than getting engaged to my wife," he said.
In March 1964, King Paul died of cancer, making his 23-year-old son King Constantine II. The new king and Anne-Marie married six months later, in Athens—two weeks after the bride's 18th birthday. "I was the first king ever to marry in Greece," he said with a smile. "And last year we were fortunate to celebrate our 50th anniversary—back in Athens, at the former Royal Yacht Club in Piraeus."
Less than three years after Constantine became king, a group of right-wing midlevel army officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos staged a coup d'état, on April 21, 1967, surrounding the palace at Tatoi with tanks. Many Greeks would suffer under Papadopoulos's dictatorship. "That night the colonels arrested somewhere between 6,000 and 8,000 people, including all my staff, in under two hours," Constantine told me. "I had to think of all the blood that would be shed if I openly opposed them."
A month after the coup, the king met a group of his old classmates. According to Anagnostopoulos, when they berated Constantine for recognizing the regime, he told them, "Don't worry, in six months everything will be straightened out."
On December 13, 1967, before dawn, the king launched a countercoup, flying with his pregnant wife, their two-year-old daughter, Alexia, seven-month old Crown Prince Pavlos, Constantine's mother Queen Frederica, and his sister Princess Irene to Kavala, a city in northern Greece—a place where he believed the army and its generals were loyal to him. He intended to create an alternative government in Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece.
The air force and navy immediately declared for the king and mobilized, but the colonels in Athens put together a force that advanced north, and within hours it was clear the countercoup had failed. "I understood afterward, when you start something like this, it has to work in the first hour, two hours maximum, or it's a waste of time," Constantine said. "You would have to enforce it with a lot of bloodshed. The Greeks had been through a terrible civil war, and I wasn't going to put them through that again."
That night, to avoid open conflict, Constantine flew his family out of the country, toward Italy; he piloted the plane himself. "We had less than three minutes of fuel when we touched down," he said. "I had to borrow $300 from my valet to refuel the plane, and my brother-in-law [King Juan Carlos] had to send me clothes."
On the heels of these agonizing events, Queen Anne-Marie suffered a miscarriage. "It was a very dark period in our history," Constantine said, with obvious emotion. "A lot of officers who supported me were badly treated by the colonels when we failed. But at least we all made a major effort to free our country from that dictatorship."
From Rome, Constantine declared, "I am sure I shall go back the way my ancestors did." (Both his grandfather King Constantine I and his uncle King George II spent large portions of their reigns in exile during the world wars, which caused George II to remark, "The most important tool for a king of Greece is a suitcase.") Constantine and his family lived for two months in the Greek embassy in Rome and then for five years in a house in a suburb.
Over the next year the junta sent feelers to the king, trying to negotiate terms under which he would return, but he insisted on the restoration of democracy. He believes the colonels also engineered two attempts on his life.
"The second time," he said, "I was going to Tehran to meet the shah. When I got to Heathrow, I noticed that the flight was quite long, with two stops, so I changed to a direct flight on British Airways. When I got to Tehran the shah told me there had been an assassin on the Frankfurt leg of the original flight, but his people had intercepted him. 'So what happened to the fellow?' I asked. 'Do you really want to know?' he said."
In 1973 the colonels in the junta were themselves replaced by younger officers, and when the new leaders tried to stage a coup in Cyprus in the summer of 1974, it prompted an invasion of the island by Turkey, and military rule in Greece collapsed.
As the dictatorship was crumbling, the veteran political leader Constantine Karamanlis, in self-exile in Paris, was in constant phone contact with the exiled king in London. "We had been talking throughout the day," Constantine said, "and that afternoon Karamanlis said he had been asked to go back to Athens. I said, 'By whom?' He said by people representing the junta. I said, 'Shall I come with you?' He said, 'No, let me go and see what is happening and I'll call you in the morning.'
"Of course," Constantine said, "the call never came."
Karamanlis formed a party, New Democracy, which won a resounding victory in November 1974, and then Constantine's former ally called for a referendum on the monarchy for December 8. The king was not allowed to go to Greece to campaign or to speak to the people on TV, and when the results were announced, only 31 percent of the population had voted for the king's restoration.
Having lost any hope for a return of the monarchy, the deposed king settled down in London, where he had moved in 1973. He opened an office in Mayfair and maintained contact with his supporters, who included wealthy Greek ship owners based in Britain.
In 1980, Constantine and Anne-Marie created the Hellenic College of London, where their own children were educated in both English and Greek. (After the escape from Greece and the miscarriage, Anne-Marie gave birth in Rome to Prince Nikolaos, in 1969, and then, in London, to Princess Theodora, in 1983, and Prince Philippos, in 1986.)
A devastating moment in Constantine's long exile occurred in February 1981, when his mother died, at the age of 63, in Madrid of heart failure during eyelid surgery. The Greek government announced that it would allow the former king and his family to return for only a few hours to bury her in the family cemetery at Tatoi, where Constantine and his sisters had spent idyllic summers as children.
Constantine began negotiations in 1986 with the government of Andreas Papandreou to receive a financial settlement for seized property that had belonged to the king: the 10,000-acre Tatoi estate, the royal estate of Mon Repos, on Corfu (birthplace of many royals, including Prince Philip; it is now a public park and museum), and 7,500 acres of timberland in central Greece. Two years later "we reached an agreement that Papandreou was supposed to sign on a Thursday," Constantine said. "But that Wednesday he collapsed from a heart problem and was rushed to a hospital in England. Our agreement was never signed."
When Papandreou lost the election the following year, negotiations continued with the new government, and a tentative agreement was reached. But when Papandreou returned to power in 1993, he revoked that agreement. According to Costas Strongylos, a longtime friend of Constantine's and his private secretary since 1999, "Under the new law, enacted in 1994, all of the king's property was confiscated by the Greek state. The law further stated that in order for the king and his family to hold Greek passports, they had to accept the referendum abolishing the monarchy and select an ordinary last name like those used by all other Greek citizens."
The king then sued in the European Court of Human Rights, which set aside the name issue and asked for valuations of the king's properties. The government's appraisers put the value at $550 million, according to Strongylos; the king's put it at $500 million. The courts handed the case to a commission of three, which decided that the former royal family would not receive either estimate; the king would have to settle for 12 mil- lion euros, and his sister Irene for 900,000 euros.
The Greek government waited until the last day permitted by the ruling, then paid the king out of the country's natural disasters fund, in order to make it look as if Constantine were depleting his country's emergency resources. He countered by putting the money into the Anna-Maria Foundation, to allocate the funds back to the Greek people for use in "extraordinary natural disasters and charitable causes."
Constantine insists that he long ago accepted the rejection of the monarchy. "If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it," he told Time in 2002. What was impossible to accept was the enforced exile. To keep Constantine and his family out of Greece, in the early 1980s the government sent an order to all consulates to deny any requests by members of the former royal family to have their passports renewed, effectively rendering them stateless persons. For a time they traveled on passports issued by the Spanish government, which listed the king's name as "Constantino de Grecia." Now he and his wife travel with Danish passports, which identify them as "H.M. King Constantine" and "H.M. Queen Anne-Marie."
The first time they ventured back to Greece after burying Queen Frederica was in 1993, when they flew into Thessaloniki, boarded a friend's yacht, and sailed down the Aegean to the wealthy Porto Heli area. Constantine remembered being "followed all the way by navy vessels, as if we were an invading force."
As the 2004 summer Olympics in Athens approached, everyone knew that the ex-king would be coming to Greece as an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee. "Ever since they created the republic through the referendum in 1974, I decided to stay away and not interfere," he said. "But as time passed, I had the feeling that they were going to use my presence at the Olympic Games to say that I was trying to come back as king. I wasn't going to have any of that. So I came back to Greece in 2003—the year before the Olympics. Everyone was taken by surprise."
When Constantine and Anne-Marie landed in Athens, "it was clear nobody realized we were on the plane. We showed the passports and suddenly they said, 'The king is in the VIP lounge!' and there was all kinds of commotion. Then I called the Greek ambassador back in London and said, 'Tell the government the king is back in Greece, and here is my itinerary. I'm going to Tatoi to have a memorial service for my parents, and then I'm going to the Pentelikon Hotel to spend the night. I will leave the next morning.' I came to show them I could come when I wanted to come, not when someone told me I could."
After the first surprise visit, the king and his family came back more often, without the excitement. But his arrival in Greece as a representative of the Olympics in the summer of 2004 was filled with irony and drew unexpected support from all points on the political spectrum. "As I approached the president, every pair of eyes were on us," Constantine remembered. "I said to the poor man, 'Mr. President, do you do rousfetia [favors]?' And he said, 'What's on your mind?' I said, 'I want you to invite my family to the palace, to see all the changes.' "
" 'Of course!' he replied. 'Just tell your secretary and mine to agree on the date.' "
That visit to what had once been the royal palace in Athens, now the presidential palace, occurred on December 24, 2004. "It was horrible!" Constantine exclaimed. "All the former bedrooms don't exist. Gone! Everything else—every room—is an office. I asked him, 'How many people work here?' He told me 120. I had 13.
"Today the president has a huge amount of security, and according to the constitution the president is paid a salary and it's his money," Constantine continued. "Now the running of the presidential palace is paid for with the taxpayers' money. So are the president's telephones, heating, cars, drivers, clothes, state visits—all paid for by the state. For us it was the complete opposite. We were paid X amount—I think it was 7 million drachmas— and I paid for my own education with an inheritance, because my father was running out of money. Part of the excuse against me was that royalty costs too much. But royalty costs so much less! Today we have, I don't know, three or four former heads of state. All of them have pensions, and so do all their police, security, drivers, and secretaries."
Through all the vicissitudes Constantine has endured over the years, the one foundation that has provided him with a sense of security is the friendship of the 14 men who, years ago, were chosen to be his fourth-grade classmates in the newly created Anavryta School. The boys had been selected through tests of their intelligence and chosen to represent all classes of Greek society. They had only alternate weekends free to go home, and if their parents could not afford the boarding fees, they were given full scholarships.
"The Anavryta School was set up in Kifissia by King Paul so that Constantine would be educated with smart Greek boys from different backgrounds," said Panayiotis Soucacos, who was one of those 14 boys and is now a professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Athens Medical School. "It was established on the principles of German educator Kurt Hahn, who founded the Gordonstoun School in Scotland, where British royals have gone, including Prince Philip and Prince Charles. Of the 14 in the first class, 13 are still alive. All did well. Five became university professors, four in medicine [including Anagnostopoulos, a clinical professor of surgery at the Columbia University Medical Center, in New York] and one in nuclear physics. The others became successful businessmen."
Tales of Constantine's loyalty and kindness to his former classmates abound. "Constantine was not only best man at my wedding and my daughter's, he baptized two of my granddaughters, too," said Anagnostopoulos, who feels that his friend's decision to return to Greece ultimately has to do with "wanting to end his life where he began it. Constantine is happiest when he's there."
"He's homesick—down-to-the-bone homesick," said Soucacos. "Besides his family, and standing up to the junta, he's proudest of winning an Olympic gold medal for Greece. He has never thought of any other place as home."
Back in 2002, Constantine told Larry King that the only good thing about living in exile was that he had "much more time to see my children grow up." But the children have done that and gone. His youngest son, Philippos, 29, works in finance in New York, and his youngest daughter, Theodora, 31, is an actress in Hollywood (as Theodora Greece). Nikolaos, 45, is married to Tatiana Blatnik and lives in Kastri, Greece, in an apartment owned by the daughter of the king's late nemesis, Papandreou. Eldest son Pavlos, 48, married Marie-Chantal Miller, whose billionaire father, Robert Warren Miller, developed duty-free shops at airports; they live with their five children in London. The eldest, Alexia, 50, is married to an architect, Carlos Morales Quintana, and they live with their four children in Spain. "My eldest grandchild turned 16 yesterday," Constantine said. "He's a diver. He's everything: a rower, a diver, a scholar. We are very lucky with our grandchildren."
Seven years ago, at the age of 68, Constantine underwent heart surgery in London—a reminder of his mortality that undoubtedly fueled his desire to move home full-time. When he's in Greece he lives in Porto Heli, the seaside town he visited years ago followed by the Greek navy. According to Costas Strongylos, Constantine financed the purchase of the house by "selling his London properties for a good profit. He also made money in business deals in the Middle East."
The result is a lavish if less than royal life that does feature his other great love: the sea. "He can sail his caïque any time he wants, and he does almost every afternoon," Strongylos said. "He takes her out from three to seven, finds a quiet cove, and anchors there to swim and relax."
Near the end of our interviews, Constantine finally offered his reasons for returning. We were sitting in the Byzantino Restaurant at the Athens Hilton with Nikolaos. "Look a t ancient Greek history," he said. "All Greeks who live in exile, they want to go back. It's in the blood. Funnily enough, the one pushing hardest was my wife. I think she realized I would be happy only when I came back home."
But why, when so many others have chosen to flee, has he gone in the other direction and thrown in his lot—and his own still considerable resources—with the country that revoked his birth- right? Why return to his homeland when it has been reduced to economic chaos?
In a way, his reasons for returning reflect his attitude about the future of his troubled country. History presents ample evidence of the resiliency of the Greeks. "They have seen their standard of living drop by 30 percent and unemployment soar to more than 25 percent," he said. "It's painful to see how much suffering they have endured. But the Greeks are a tough people who not only know how to enjoy life but how to endure hardship. We suffered centuries of subjugation under the Ottoman Turks, a brutal Nazi occupation, and a devastating civil war, but we bounced back to create a beautiful land to call home. Everyone must take great care not to allow our glorious country to fall into the kind of national division that brought so much misery in the past. I have faith that Greeks will face our current troubles with patience and resolve and that we will prevail."
During our conversation Constantine confided that he has already decided where he will be buried: the royal cemetery on the grounds of Tatoi. "My family doesn't like it when I talk about it, but I've chosen the spot...that part where the graves are shad- owed by blossoming hickory trees, farther down and a little to the left of my father. Facing toward the sea..."
It's an appropriate place to spend eternity—overlooking what has drawn Greeks homeward since Odysseus made his way back to Ithaka. Like Homer's legendary hero, the former king has returned with no title to find a palace crumbling into ruins, but he considers himself fortunate to be back on his native ground, in life and in death. As the poet C.P. Cavafy wrote about Odysseus's long search for home:
Arriving there is what you are
destined for
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won't
have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become,
so full of experience,
You will have understood by then
what these Ithakas mean.

King Constantine of the Hellenes, who has died in Athens aged 82, ascended to the throne of Greece in 1964, but went into exile in 1967 after mounting an unsuccessful counter-coup against the Greek junta which had seized power earlier that year; in 1974, he ceased to be king following a popular referendum.
A tall, affable figure with a husky, smoker’s laugh, the King spent most of the rest of his life in exile in London, supported by wealthy Greek expatriates and his relations in other European royal houses. For more than 20 years he was careful not to stir up anti-monarchist feeling in Greece, though he never relinquished his claim to the throne.
Greek sensitivity on the matter turned to paranoia, however, in 1993, when the King took his family on a holiday in Greece – a visit to the mainland, followed by a cruise. The political subtext of the trip enraged the Greek authorities and the King found himself pursued by gunboats and shadowed by military planes. The following year, alarmed at a perceived political threat, the Socialist government under Andreas Papandreou confiscated the royal family’s passports, property and citizenship.
Yet when the Greek colonels seized power in 1967, instigating seven years of tyranny, it was King Constantine who, however feebly, tried to stand up to them and rally the forces of democracy. Had he succeeded, as did his brother-in-law Juan Carlos of Spain, he might have been a hero to his people. As it was, in the eyes of many Greeks, he remained tainted by family history and by his own clumsy mishandling of the political crisis that had brought about his exile.
Prince Constantine was born on June 2 1940 in a villa in the Athens suburb of Psychiko, the only son of Crown Prince Paul, younger brother of King George II of Greece, and his German-born wife, Princess Frederika, the granddaughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II.
His birth had the added significance, as became clear, some years later, in that it released his cousin, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, from having to serve one day as King of the Hellenes. Had Constantine been a girl, then Prince Philip would never have been able to marry the Queen, and he would most likely have become King of the Hellenes on the death of King Paul in 1964.
King Constantine’s father Prince Paul was a member of the Danish house of Glücksburg, which had acceded to the throne of Greece in 1863. The family had never managed to establish itself securely in the affections of the Greek people and its relatively short rule had been marked by unrest and misfortune. One king had been assassinated, one had abdicated twice, one fled the country and a fourth died after being bitten in the leg by his gardener’s pet monkey (surgeons refused to operate on the gangrenous leg on the grounds that it was “royal”).
At the time Constantine was born, Greece was involved in a bitter struggle with Mussolini’s fascists which caused him to be evacuated in infancy to Crete. When the Germans arrived, the royal family had to flee again, first to Egypt and then to South Africa.
The Greek monarchy was restored by the Allies in 1946 and Prince Paul succeeded to the throne on the death of King George the following year. By that time however, Greece was in the throes of civil war between royalist and communist factions and, during the conflict and the subsequent repression, the power of the royal family came to be seen by many Greeks to be based, essentially, on an alliance with Right-wing forces backed by the Americans, in particular the CIA.
Prince Constantine was educated at Anavryta College in Athens, a school based on the self-fulfilment principles of Kurt Hahn; he was not a bright pupil and suffered from dyslexia. He went on to study at Athens University, but after his 18th birthday he became increasingly involved in state affairs, attending cabinet meetings and reviewing the troops. In 1960 his passion for sailing led him to win Greece its first Olympic gold medal since before the First World War.
Constantine ascended to the throne on the death of his father in 1964 and six months later married his cousin, the 18-year-old Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, with whom he had fallen in love when she was just 15.
The country’s new prime minister George Papandreou, the leader of the coalition Centre Union party, took young “Tino” under his wing, and for a year relations between King and government seemed harmonious. Yet the country was sliding towards political crisis, sparked by the subversion of the general election of 1961 by Right-wingers in the military unhappy with democracy and the government’s failure to take a strong line on “Enosis” (union) with Cyprus.
In 1965 rumours reached the King that Left-wing officers were planning a purge of Right-wing elements in the army and had even included the palace and government in their plans. Andreas Papandreou, the Prime Minister’s son and finance minister in his administration, was said to be involved in the plot.
When George Papandreou demanded to be appointed to head an inquiry into the allegations, however, the King refused to comply and Papandreou resigned. His resignation, and Constantine’s declaration that he would name his successor, sparked street riots, strikes and demonstrations by Left-wingers who accused the King of trying to create a Right-wing dictatorship.
A prolonged campaign of civil disobedience undermined the authority of a series of interim Right-wing governments, but the King and his advisers did nothing to calm the situation, and by the time an election was called in 1967, the leaders of the extreme Right had their plans in train.
Led by Brigadier-General Stylianos Pattakos, the junta forces swept into Athens on April 21 1967 and seized power. At around seven the next morning, Pattakos and the other leaders of the coup arrived at Tatoi, the royal palace outside Athens, to speak to the King.
Constantine told them their actions were unacceptable. But afterwards, when the chief of staff of the navy offered his forces to Constantine to put down the coup, the King vacillated and told him to do nothing. Within hours Constantine was signing decrees for the junta and posing for photographs.
He thought that his expression – a stony face – would convince his people he was acting under duress; but set among the equally stony faces of the junta, he had precisely the opposite effect. His reputation never recovered from the impression these photographs conveyed.
Nine months later the King tried to rectify the situation with a counter-coup and on the morning of December 12 1967 went to seek help from the American ambassador Phillips Talbot: “I have decided to take control of the nation,” the King announced, requesting US military support. But the Americans gave no serious consideration to the suggestion.
Some days later, the King arrived in the royalist stronghold of northern Greece, only to find that the loyalist soldiers he hoped would back him had been sent to patrol the border with Turkey.
The next morning the junta moved quickly to quell any dissenting voices and Constantine and his family found themselves dumped unceremoniously on an aeroplane bound for London via Rome. His plan, the king admitted later, “never could have succeeded. Kings do not have conspiratorial minds.”
In England, King Constantine largely played the model exile, though he never renounced his throne. In 1974 democracy was restored under President Constantine Karamanlis, and a referendum on the monarchy called for later that year. Vilified by Left-wingers for not having stood up to the junta earlier, though forbidden from returning to Greece to argue his case, King Constantine swallowed the humiliation of the referendum, in which 69.2 per cent of Greeks voted to abolish the monarchy.
In exile, King Constantine lived the aimless life of ex-monarchs, spending much of his time looking after his family, socialising, and managing his investment portfolio from a large but unimposing residence in Hampstead. His brother-in-law King Juan Carlos was said to support him financially, as were various expatriate Greeks, including the shipping tycoon John Latsis.
The King himself worked briefly for the late Shah of Iran and was rumoured to have been involved in selling armoured cars. He served as chairman of the educational committee of a group of 20 international schools, including Gordonstoun, which subscribe to the ideals of Kurt Hahn; he also founded the Hellenic School in Knightsbridge, to which he sent all of his five children. He was also president of honour of the International Yachting Federation.
Constantine’s friendships with Prince Charles and other members of the British royal family were his main link to the role he had lost. Prince Philip became a regular sailing companion and the King’s godson, Prince William, in turn became a godfather to his grandson. It was at the King’s 60th birthday party at Highgrove that Prince Charles finally introduced Camilla Parker Bowles to his mother.
In 1993 King Constantine formally recognised the referendum as indisputable fact and negotiated a deal with the government that retrieved some of his possessions and secured his continuing ownership of the family estate outside Athens and the royal summer palace on Corfu. Yet it soon became clear that even if he wanted to, he could never settle in Greece as plain Mr Constantine Glücksburg, as the Greek government insisted on calling him.
The ambiguity of his position reached crisis point in August 1993, when he visited Greece with his family, the first time he had returned to his country (apart from a strictly controlled five-hour visit in 1981 to attend his mother’s funeral) since he had been driven into exile.
Though the visit was supposed to be a holiday, the political subtext was inescapable. Things began to go badly when the King abandoned his tourist pursuits and set off deep into the volatile northern province of Macedonia; when he then headed off to the Yugoslav border to greet soldiers on border duty, Athens erupted with rage. Within two days of his arrival, a Greek naval officer had been cashiered for publicly escorting him, a bishop and two parliamentary deputies who welcomed him were threatened with trial for treason, and the country was in uproar.
As insult heaped on calumny, the government sent its gunboats to tail the King’s yacht, and a huge air force transport plane practised bomb runs over his deck. When the royal family were finally prevented from going ashore to greet a crowd of ageing admirers, the furious royalists responded by pelting a coastguard patrol boat with rocks and water melons. In Parliament, there were calls for the King’s passport to be confiscated, for the family to be expelled and for the young princes to be arrested and sent for military service.
If the King had hoped to improve his chances of returning to his homeland, the exercise was almost entirely counterproductive. The following year the incoming socialist administration led by King Constantine’s old adversary, Andreas Papandreou, stripped him of his passport, citizenship and property rights. Adding insult to injury, Papandreou also let it be known that, in his view, the few personal effects Constantine had managed to bring back with him from his holiday were “illegally smuggled” out of the country.
Constantine took his battle with the government to the European Court of Human Rights, which in 2000 declared that the Greek government had violated the King’s human rights when it seized his property, rejecting the government’s argument that Constantine’s ancestors had obtained the property under dubious circumstances. However, although the court compelled the government to compensate the king for the royal estates it had confiscated, his Greek citizenship was never returned to him.
In 2001, a friend of the King’s described him as “desperately homesick” and dreaming of Greece every day. But his hopes of dying in his native land seemed destined not to be realised – until, in 2013, after 46 years in exile, he surprised observers by announcing that he was returning to Greece having sold his house in Hampstead Garden Suburb for £9.5 million. “From that point of view it was considered the very best time for his majesty to not only downsize but return,” a royal insider told The Guardian.
He and his wife Anne-Marie bought a villa in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese, and moved to Athens last year.
King Constantine and Queen Anne Marie had two daughters and three sons, his heir being Crown Prince Pavlos, born in 1967.

Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece was only a boy when his father was exiled, but now his family are some of the most glamorous European royals.

The children and grandchildren of deposed King Constantine II of Greece have wealth, beauty, fame and are widely considered the most glamorous of the European royals. But they do not have a kingdom … yet. In our Christmas 2023 edition, The Weekly looked at the fall – and new rise – of the Greek royal family.
There was no official mourning, no gun salute, no slow march through the ancient streets of Athens, but when the coffin of King Constantine II of Greece arrived at the city’s Metropolitan Cathedral on January 16, 2023, it was to large crowds and an extraordinary show of royal solidarity.
Beneath the cathedral’s magnificent Byzantine dome stood a formidable array of crowned heads from around the world, including three kings, six queens, an empress, a tsar, numerous crown princes and princesses, and a grand duke. All had come from their various realms to honour a long-deposed and exiled monarch, now dismissively referred to by the Greek authorities as ‘Mr Constantine Glücksburg’.
Incense and prayer chants filled the air and warm tributes were paid, but it was the closing address of the late king’s heir, Crown Prince Pavlos, 56, that made a nation watching on live TV sit bolt upright: “My dear father,” he declared. “This is not the end.”
It would be tempting to say that the Greek royal family now reigns over nothing more than the covers of glossy magazines. The Prince of Greece, his mega-rich heiress wife, Princess Marie-Chantal and their five photogenic children are familiar sights in the fashionable resorts of the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Alps. Their grand homes in London, New York, the English countryside and the Bahamas are cited as a testament to their taste and refinement.
Yet wealth and glamour don’t necessarily compensate for the loss of a kingdom, and the word from Greece’s royalist faithful is that Pavlos and his privileged kin are discretely looking for something more.
Today, with the old royal family scattered, only Constantine’s steadfast widow, Queen Anne-Marie, 76, the younger sister of Queen Margrethe of Denmark, remains in Greece, occupying a modest Athens apartment. (As a tale of two sisters, the super-popular Margrethe and the dispossessed, rarely-seen Anne-Marie could hardly offer a greater contrast.)
But after exactly 50 years as a republic, there is the sense of a changing mood in Greece. The death of 82-year-old Constantine not only brought the royalist flags and anthems back onto the streets, but forced a softening of the official stance against any kind of reconciliation with the monarchy. Having initially announced that the king would be buried as a private citizen, with no state recognition, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis backtracked in the face of criticism and sent his deputy to the funeral.
Then, in early March, the prince of Greece dropped another bombshell. He revealed that he and Marie-Chantal were looking for a permanent home in Greece, and in an interview with a French magazine, added: “We want to be more visible to the Greek people. They will be seeing a lot more of us in the future.”
Was the tall, goatee-bearded prince dangling a subtle proposition before his father’s former subjects? If so, despite all the swirl of positive sentiment around the funeral, he will face formidable obstacles.
Pavlos was only seven months old when his father, was forced into exile by the military junta that had seized power in Greece. In a bungled attempt to restore democracy, Constantine launched a counter-coup, which was quickly crushed, and in late 1967, the vengeful ‘Colonels’ drove him out of the country. The royal family fled first to Rome, then to London, where Constantine and his wife, Queen Anne-Marie, were welcomed by Queen Elizabeth and her Greek-born husband Prince Philip. England would remain their home for the next 47 years.
Perhaps unfairly, many Greeks blamed the young, inexperienced king – then only three years into his reign – for failing to resist the junta in the first place, and in 1973, after a one-sided referendum, the monarchy was abolished. All the royal family’s properties, including the historic Tatoi Palace in the hills outside Athens, were confiscated, and their titles scrapped. In what was seen as a calculated slight, Constantine and his family were officially accorded the name ‘Glücksburg’ – a reference to a castle owned by a Danish branch of the family.
Supported by a group of wealthy Greek sympathisers, Constantine, Anne-Marie and their family lived a genteel life in London, moving among the cream of high society, and becoming particularly close to the current King Charles and his then wife, Diana, Princess of Wales. Yet his heart yearned for Greece, and the little prince of Greece was raised with the idea that the old country was his destiny.
Further humiliations were heaped upon the ex-king. In 1993, he was stripped of his citizenship, his passport was cancelled and during a holiday cruise around Greek waters, his yacht was harassed by naval vessels and warplanes. The now stateless king refused to retaliate. His friend, shipping heir and author Taki Theodoracopulous, remembers Constantine forbidding him from criticising the regime on the royal family’s behalf. “He never complained and never accused his enemies,” says Taki.
It wasn’t until ten years ago that Constantine and Anne-Marie were finally allowed to return home. They moved into a grand seaside villa on the Argolis Peninsula, two hours drive from Athens, in an area known as the ‘Hamptons of Greece’. But they had to agree to keeping a low profile, and to desist from engaging in ‘political activity’.
As long as his father was alive, Pavlos, too, felt constrained from doing anything the ever-sensitive Greek authorities might consider provocative. Educated at a private Hellenic school, founded by his father in London, Pavlos later attended Sandhurst, Britain’s elite military training college, and was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
In 1995, having left the army, the prince of Greece married Marie-Chantal Miller, the vivacious daughter of an Anglo-American business tycoon. It was the society wedding of the year, with a virtual Who’s Who of European royalty in attendance. Pavlos later joked to Charles that there were more royals at his marriage to Marie-Chantal than at Charles’ nuptials with Diana at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Today the couple and their children divide their time between New York, where Pavlos works as an investment banker, and London, where 54-year-old Marie-Chantal’s luxury childrenswear business is based.
Marie Provost, a writer with the French magazine Point de Vue, which specialises in royal coverage, says: “They are Europe’s most glamorous royal family by far, and they are also very close and hard working and rather nice, too.”
The family powerhouse is undoubtedly Marie-Chantal, whose billionaire father, Bob Warren, owns a global chain of duty-free shops. Raised in Hong Kong, the hub of Bob’s business empire, she was sent to schools in London, Paris and Switzerland, and went on to university in New York, where she moved in bohemian circles, working at one time for pop artist Andy Warhol at his notorious Factory.
It was in New York that the blonde, waif-like ‘factory girl’ met the straight-laced, stiff-mannered, fresh-out-of-the-army Pavlos. They were set up on a blind date by a Greek friend of the prince, who had a hunch that for all their apparent differences they might hit it off.
They did. “We just clicked,” Marie-Chantal said later. “It was love at first sight. I knew he would be the person I would marry.”
They remained for a while in New York, then in 2002 moved to London, with Pavlos apparently keen for the three children they now had to receive European educations. Their new home, a magnificent double-fronted mansion in Chelsea’s Thames-side Cheyne Walk, quickly became – and remains – a hub of social activity.
A country estate in the Cotswolds – close to King Charles’ Highgrove pile – and a hunting lodge in Yorkshire were soon added to the couple’s UK property portfolio. The couple could afford it. According to the London Sunday Times’ annual Rich List, Marie Chantal alone has a net worth of A$ 4.3 billion.
Not that she has any inclination to join the idle rich. For the last 20 years, the princess has run her own ‘Marie-Chantal’ exclusive babywear and children’s clothing business with a flagship store in London’s Belgravia. She designs many of the items herself, which are often spotted on pampered junior members of the European aristocracy.
“My brand is like my sixth child,” Marie-Chantal told The London Times: “I was a young mother, pregnant with my third child when I started it, and I wanted to work. I’m very creative. I love to draw, and I wanted to do something in the world of luxury or retail because that was what I was exposed to through my father’s business.”
The couple’s three eldest children have been busily blazing their own path through the social scene, with daughter, Marie-Olympia, 27, a goddaughter of King Charles, leading the way. British society magazine Tatler calls her: “The undisputed It girl of London,” and while her modelling career has yet to hit stellar heights, she is prized in the fashion trade as an ambassador for brands such as Dior, Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton. “She’s the life and soul,” says celebrity photographer German Larkin. “She has that sleek, stylish look that every photographer loves.”
Eldest son, Constantine-Alexios, 24, known to his friends as ‘Tino’ and described by royal writer Hilary Rose as “a young, blond Greek god,” has inherited his mother’s artistic bent and is said to be pursuing a career as a sculptor. At least when he isn’t pursuing the upper class girls who flock each summer to the fashionable Greek islands of Mykonos and Patmos, where the holidaying royals like to anchor their yacht. Tino is currently dating society model Poppy Delevingne, 36, who last year split from her businessman husband James Cook.
Then there’s the “fluffy-haired heartthrob” Prince Achileas-Andreas, 23, an aspiring actor known by the stage name ‘Achi Miller’, who has already appeared in an American daytime soap opera. A recent graduate of Manhattan University, Achi has been escorting heiress, Natalie Massenet, daughter of his mother’s best friend Isabella Massenet, founder of the Net-a-Porter fashion company. The two youngest sons, Odysseas-Kimon and Aristidis-Stavros, 15, are both students.
As a royal family with everything except a kingdom, the ‘Golden Greeks’ are biding their time, rebuilding their links with their lost homeland, and not, at least in the short term, expecting too much.
“I don’t think a complete return is likely,” says Andreas Megos, editor of a popular Greek website focusing on the royals. “It’s been too long a time, and most people can’t even remember when we had a monarchy. But those old wounds are healing, and there’s plenty of respect and goodwill towards Pavlos. We saw it on the streets. I think he could definitely play a role here.”
In a similar vein, the prince of Greece insists that he is not seeking to retake the throne. “I’m not looking for anything,” he said. “Our role is to be good people, and do what we can to help the country.”
Yet the signs of reconciliation are everywhere. Despite the political sensitivities, the governing New Democracy party has a substantial monarchist wing, and several of its leading figures are on good terms with the royals. Polls still show a clear majority of voters preferring to remain a republic, but the gap has narrowed in recent years, and as Greece has struggled with chronic economic and social problems, many seem open to the idea of a new constitutional model.
Queen Anne-Marie, a poignant figure at her husband’s funeral, has proved to be a model of dignity and discretion, and is seen by many as the mother of the nation.
‘Exile’ comes from the Greek word for flight, and in ancient times was a common punishment for leaders who were deemed to have failed the people. The good news was that it only lasted for ten years before the slate was wiped clean. Constantine’s exile lasted long enough to pay the debts of five generations, and it may not take that long for his successors to bounce back.

|
Constantine II (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Βʹ, Konstantínos II; 2 June 1940 – 10 January 2023) was the last King of Greece, from 6 March 1964 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Constantine was the only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece. As his family was forced into exile during the Second World War, he spent the first years of his childhood in Egypt and South Africa. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946 during the Greek Civil War. King George II died in 1947, and Constantine's father became the new king, making Constantine the crown prince.
He acceded as king in 1964 following the death of his father, King Paul. Later that year he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark with whom he eventually had five children. Although the accession of the young monarch was initially regarded auspiciously, his reign saw political instability that culminated in the Colonels' Coup of 21 April 1967. The coup left Constantine, as the head of state, little room to manoeuvre since he had no loyal military forces on which to rely. As a result, he reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the junta on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers. On 13 December 1967, Constantine was forced to flee the country, following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta. He remained (formally) the head of state in exile until the junta abolished the monarchy on 1 June 1973. The 1973 Greek republic referendum on 29 July, ratified the abolition. There were questions concerning the validity of this referendum and whether people were pressured to vote for a republic. Therefore, a fresh referendum was held after the restoration of democracy in 1974. This second referendum was held after the fall of the junta as the 1974 Greek republic referendum on 8 December 1974 and confirmed the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Third Hellenic Republic. Constantine, who was not allowed to return to Greece to campaign, accepted the results of the plebiscite.
Constantine was also a competitive sailor and Olympian, winning a gold medal in the 1960 Rome Olympics in the Dragon class, and later serving on the International Olympic Committee. Along with his fellow crew members of the Nireus sailing vessel, he was named one of the 1960 Greek Athletes of the Year.
Early life
Constantine was born in the afternoon of 2 June 1940 at his parents' residence, Villa Psychiko at Leoforos Diamantidou 14 in Psychiko, a suburb of Athens. He was the nephew of George II, and also the second child and only legitimate son of the childless king's younger brother and heir presumptive, Crown Prince Paul. His mother, Princess Frederica of Hanover, was the only daughter of Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick and Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia. The birth of a male heir to the throne was anxiously awaited by the Greek royal family and was celebrated with a 101–gun salute from Mount Lycabettus in Athens. According to Greek naming practices, being the first son, he was named for his paternal grandfather, Constantine I. At his baptism in Athens, the Hellenic Armed Forces acted as his godparent.
At birth, Prince Constantine had an elder sister, Princess Sofia, born in 1938, who would later become Queen of Spain as the wife of the now retired Juan Carlos I of Spain. The family was later joined by a younger sister, Princess Irene, born in 1942.
Constantine's birth took place during the beginning of World War II. He was just a few months old when Fascist Italy on 28 October 1940 invaded Greece from Albania, beginning the Greco-Italian War. The Greek Army was able to halt the invasion temporarily and was able to push the Italians back into Albania. However, the Greek successes forced Nazi Germany to intervene. The Germans invaded Greece and Yugoslavia on 6 April 1941, and overran both countries within a month, despite British aid to Greece in the form of an expeditionary corps. On 22 April 1941, Princess Frederica and her two children, Sofia and Constantine, were evacuated to Crete in a British Short Sunderland flying boat, along with most of the Greek royal family. The next day they were followed by King George and Prince Paul. However, the imminent German invasion of Crete quickly made the situation untenable, and Constantine and his family were evacuated from Crete to Egypt already on 30 April 1941, a fortnight before the German attack on the island.
Constantine and his family then spent the next four years in exile in Egypt and Cape Town, South Africa, (where his sister Irene was born) with his family. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946. King George died in 1947, and Constantine's father became the new king, making Constantine the crown prince.
Crown Prince
Constantine was educated at a preparatory school and later a boarding school (Victoria College in Alexandria, Egypt, where his classmates included King Hussein of Jordan and actor Omar Sharif). A fellow student recalled him as "a good chap, a young man with all the right instincts. He was at his best on the playing fields."
Constantine served in all three branches of the Hellenic Armed Forces, attending the requisite military academies. He also attended the NATO Air Force Special Weapons School in Germany, as well as the University of Athens, where he took courses in the school of law.
Constantine II of Greece Medal record Men's sailing Representing Greece Olympic Games Gold 1960 Rome Dragon
Constantine was an able sportsman. In 1960, aged 20, he won an Olympic gold medal in sailing (dragon class), which was the first Greek gold medal in sailing since the Stockholm 1912 Summer Olympics. He was also a strong swimmer and had a black belt in karate, with interests in squash, track events and riding. In 1963 Constantine became a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He resigned in 1974 because he was no longer a Greek resident, and was made an Honorary IOC Member. He was an honorable member of the International Soling Association and honorable President of the International Dragon Association.
Reign
In 1964, Paul I's health deteriorated rapidly. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer and was operated on for an ulcer in February. Prior to this, Constantine had already been appointed regent for his ailing father while waiting for his recovery. However, as the king's condition worsened, the crown prince went to Tinos to get an icon considered miraculous by the Greek Orthodox Church. The holy image, however, was not enough to cure the sovereign, and on 6 March 1964, King Paul died and the 23-year-old Constantine succeeded him as King of the Hellenes. The new king ascended the throne as Constantine II, although some of his supporters preferred to call him Constantine XIII to emphasize the continuity between the former Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Greece.
Due to his youth, he was also perceived as a promise of change. Greece was still feeling the effects of the Civil War of 1944–49 between communists and monarchists, and society was strongly polarised between the royalist/conservative right and the liberal/socialist left. The accession of Constantine coincided with the recent election of Centrist George Papandreou as prime minister in February 1964, which ended 11 years of right-wing rule by the National Radical Union (ERE). It was hoped that the new young king and the new prime minister would be able to overcome past dissensions.
After the resignation of Andreas Papandreou, Constantine appointed a new government led by Georgios Athanasiadis-Novas, who failed to ensure the Parliament's confidence. After this failure, Novas was succeeded by Ilias Tsirimokos, who also failed to form a stable government and was dismissed. Constantine next appointed some of Papandreou's dissidents, known as the July Apostates and led by Stefanos Stefanopoulos, to form a government of "king's men", which lasted until December 1966, amidst mounting strikes and protests, supported by the right-wing ERE.
When Stefanopoulos resigned in frustration, Constantine appointed a caretaker government under Ioannis Paraskevopoulos, which called elections for May 1967. This government did not even last until the scheduled elections. It was replaced on 3 April 1967 by another caretaker government under the leader of the ERE, Panagiotis Kanellopoulos.
Greek dictatorship 1967–1974
Elections were scheduled for 28 May 1967, with expectations of a wide Centrist victory. According to United States diplomat John Day, the Americans worried that, due to the old age of George Papandreou, Andreas Papandreou would have a very powerful role in the next government.
According to United States diplomats Robert Keely and John Owens, who were attached to the United States embassy in Greece at the time, Constantine asked United States Ambassador Phillips Talbot what the attitude of the United States government would be to an extra-parliamentary solution to this problem. The embassy responded negatively in principle, adding that "US reaction to such a move cannot be determined in advance but would depend on circumstances at time". To this day, Constantine denies all this. According to Talbot, after this communication, Constantine met with the generals of the army, who promised the king that they would not take any action before the coming elections. However, they were nervous by the proclamations of Andreas Papandreou and reserved to themselves the right to reconsider possible courses of action according to the results of the election.
A traditionalist, right-wing nationalist group of middle-ranking army officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos took action first and staged a coup d'état on 21 April. The coup leaders met Constantine at his residence in Tatoi, which was surrounded by tanks to prevent resistance. Constantine later recounted that the officers of the tank platoons believed they were carrying out the coup under his orders. The king argued with the colonels and initially dismissed them. Later in the day, he went to the Ministry of National Defence, where all the coup leaders were gathered, and had a discussion with Kanellopoulos and with leading generals. He agreed to concede to the military demands and swear in the new regime only after the junta agreed to include a number of civilian politicians, with a royalist nominee, Konstantinos Kollias, as prime minister. Panayotis Kanellopoulos, the last legitimate prime minister of Greece prior to the coup, urged the king to use his status as commander-in-chief of the Greek military to order loyal officers to crush the coup. Constantine apparently refused to do so because he feared bloodshed.
From the outset, the relationship between Constantine and the regime of the colonels was an uneasy one. Constantine organised a counter-coup, though no help or involvement of the United States was forthcoming. The king finally decided to launch his counter-coup on 13 December 1967. Since Athens was effectively in the hands of the junta militarily, Constantine decided to fly to the small northern city of Kavala, east of Thessaloniki. There he hoped to be among troops loyal only to him. The vague plan he and his advisors had conceived was to form a unit that would advance to Thessaloniki (Greece's second biggest city and unofficial capital of northern Greece) and take it. Constantine planned to install an alternative administration there. International recognition, which he believed to be forthcoming, as well as internal pressure from the fact that Greece would have been split into two governments would, the king hoped, force the junta to resign, leaving the field clear for him to return triumphant to Athens.
In the early morning hours of 13 December, the king boarded the royal plane together with Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, their two young children, Princess Alexia and Prince Pavlos, his mother, Queen Frederica, and his sister, Princess Irene. Constantine also took with him Premier Kollias. At first things seemed to be going according to plan. Constantine was well received in Kavala which, militarily, was under the command of a general loyal to him. The air force and navy, both strongly royalist and not involved in the 1967 coup, immediately declared for him and mobilised. Another of Constantine's generals effectively cut all communication between Athens and the north.
Under these circumstances, rather than managing to put together a force and advancing on Thessaloniki, middle-ranking pro-junta officers neutralised and arrested his royalist generals and took command of their units, which subsequently put together a force advancing on Kavala to arrest the king. Realising that the counter-coup had failed, Constantine fled Greece on the royal plane, taking his family and premier with him. They landed in Rome early in the morning of 14 December, where they remained in exile through the rest of military rule (although he continued as king until 1 June 1973). He was never to return to Greece as a reigning king.
Constantine stated, "I am sure I shall go back the way my ancestors did." The world had changed significantly though since the monarchy had made its last comeback. Constantine continued to watch events from abroad. He said to the Toronto Star:
I consider myself King of the Hellenes and sole expression of legality in my country until the Greek people freely decide otherwise. I fully expected that the (military) regime would depose me eventually. They are frightened of the Crown because it is a unifying force among the people.
With Constantine abroad, Colonel George Papadopoulos appointed himself prime minister and General George Zoitakis as regent.
Over the next year the junta sent intermediaries to the king to negotiate the terms on which he might return to Greece. But Constantine insisted on the full restoration of democracy under the existing constitution as a precondition, and Papadopoulos would not agree to this. Instead the regime promulgated a new constitution in November 1968, which retained the monarchy, but stripped it of its powers, and provided for a permanent regency until the king chose to accept the new order. This standoff continued until 1972, when Papadopoulos dismissed Zoitakis and appointed himself regent.
In June 1973, Papadopoulos condemned Constantine as "a collaborator with foreign forces and with murderers" and accused him of "pursuing ambitions to become a political leader". In May, officers of the largely royalist navy staged an abortive coup, although Constantine himself was not involved. Papadopoulos retaliated by declaring Greece a republic on 1 June, a decision which was confirmed by a plebiscite on 29 July. The vote was widely acknowledged to be rigged. Constantine refused to accept the outcome. Papadopoulos then declared himself president, but in November there was a coup within the regime and he was replaced by General Phaidon Ghizikis, who was a front for the new military strongman, Dimitrios Ioannidis.
Restoration of democracy and the referendum
In July 1974, the events in Cyprus led to the downfall of the military regime, and Karamanlis returned from exile to become prime minister. The 1973 republican constitution was regarded as illegitimate, and the new administration issued a decree restoring the 1952 constitution. Constantine confidently awaited an invitation to return. On 24 July he declared his "deep satisfaction with the initiative of the armed forces in overthrowing the dictatorial regime" and welcomed the advent of Karamanlis as prime minister.
The former king visited both Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street and openly declared his hope to be shortly returning to Greece. However, the 1952 constitution was not restored with the overthrow of the illegal junta. Following Karamanlis' resounding victory in the November 1974 parliamentary elections (his New Democracy party won 54.4% of the vote), he called a referendum (held on 8 December 1974) on whether Greece would restore the monarchy or remain a republic.
Although he had been the leader of the traditionally monarchist right, Karamanlis made no attempt to restore the democratic constitution of 1952. The former king was not allowed by the government to return to Greece to campaign for the restoration of constitutional monarchy. He was only allowed to broadcast to the Greek people from London on television. Analysts claim this was a deliberate act by the government to undermine any chance to restore the monarchy.
The left voted overwhelmingly for the republic because the former king was perceived by them as having engaged in political interference far beyond the scope of the prerogative. They also objected to the perceived influence exercised by members of the royal family who had no constitutional role in the political life of the country; the former king's mother, Queen Frederica, being a case in point.
The republic received overwhelming support by the centrist voters who condemned Constantine for, among other things, swearing in the junta in 1967. They also blamed his reluctance to sever all ties with the junta once in exile, and the dismissal of the legitimately elected George Papandreou administration (Apostasia of 1965), the event which some believed led to the coup.
Constantine, speaking from London, freely admitted his past mistakes. He claimed to have sound democratic intentions in the future and promised that his mother would stay away from the country. Local monarchists campaigned on his behalf. The vote to restore the monarchy was only about 31% with most of the support coming from the Peloponnese region. Almost 69% of the electorate voted against the restoration of the monarchy and for the establishment of a republic.
In exile
Constantine remained in exile for forty years after the vote in favour of the republic. He was strongly discouraged from returning to Greece, and he did not return until February 1981, when the government allowed him to return for only a few hours, to attend the funeral of his mother, Queen Frederica, in the family cemetery of the former Royal Palace at Tatoi.
There were also legal disputes with the Greek state. In 1992 he concluded an agreement with the conservative government of Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis, ceding most of his land in Greece to a non-profit foundation in exchange for the former palace of Tatoi, near Athens, and the right to export a number of movables from Greece. The latter reportedly included privately owned art treasures from the royal palaces. As such, no formal account of what was removed was ever given or needed to be given. In 1993, Constantine visited Greece, but faced with government insecurity, he was asked to leave. In 1994, the second government of Andreas Papandreou passed new legislation reversing the 1992 agreement and stripping Constantine of his property in Greece and his Greek citizenship.
Constantine sued Greece at the European Court of Human Rights for €500 million in compensation for the seized property. He won a much smaller amount, receiving a monetary compensation of €12 million for the lost property, with a far smaller sum awarded to his unmarried younger sister, Princess Irene, and his aunt Princess Katherine. The Greek government chose to pay out of the "extraordinary natural disasters" fund, but was not obliged by the court's decision to return any lands (the Court of Human Rights awards only monetary compensation).
Constantine, in turn, created the Anna Maria Foundation, to allocate the funds in question back to the Greek people for use in "extraordinary natural disasters" and charitable causes. The court decision also ruled that Constantine's human rights were not violated by the Greek state's decision not to grant him Greek citizenship and passport unless he adopts a surname.
Later life and death
Following the abolition of the monarchy, Constantine repeatedly stated that he recognized the Republic, the laws and the constitution of Greece. He told Time, "If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it."
Constantine and Anne-Marie for many years lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, Constantine being a close friend of his second cousin Charles III, and a godfather to William, Prince of Wales, his second cousin once removed. He sold his house in Hampstead in 2013.
Constantine was a patron of Box Hill School, a private school in Dorking, in the south of England.
In 2004, Constantine returned to Greece temporarily during the Athens Olympic Games as a member of the International Olympic Committee. On 24 December 2004, Constantine and Anne-Marie and members of the former royal family visited the Presidential Mansion (the former Royal Palace) in Athens where Constantine met President Costis Stephanopoulos, who gave them a tour.
According to a nationwide 2007 survey of 2,040 households conducted on behalf of the newspaper To Vima, only 11.6% supported a constitutional monarchy. More than half of the respondents, 50.9%, considered the dictatorship of the junta had brought benefits to Greece.
During the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics, Constantine, in his role as honorary member of the International Olympic Committee, was the official presenter at the sailing medal ceremonies. He was Co-President of Honour of the International Sailing Federation with King Harald V of Norway, since 1994.
In 2013, Constantine returned to reside in Greece. He and his wife Anne-Marie purchased a villa in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese, residing there until they relocated to Athens in the spring of 2022.
In November 2015, his autobiography was published in three volumes by the national newspaper, To Vima. It has not yet been published in English.
Constantine incurred a series of health problems in the final years of his life, including heart conditions and decreased mobility. He died on 10 January 2023, at the age of 82, several days after being hospitalised in Athens for a stroke.

Titles and styles
Until 1994, Constantine's official Greek passport identified him as "Constantine, former King of the Hellenes". A law passed in 1994 stripped him of his Greek citizenship, passport, and property. The law stated that Constantine could not be granted a Greek passport unless he adopted a surname. Constantine has stated: "I don't have a name—my family doesn't have a name. The law that Mr Papandreou passed basically says that he considers that I am not Greek and that my family was Greek only so long as we were exercising the responsibilities of sovereign, and I had to go out and acquire a name. The problem is that my family originates from Denmark, and the Danish royal family haven't got a surname." Glücksburg, he said, was not a family name but the name of a town. "I might as well call myself Mr. Kensington."
Constantine freely traveled in and out of Greece on a Danish passport, as Constantino de Grecia (Spanish for 'Constantine of Greece'), because Denmark (upon request) issues diplomatic passports to any descendants of King Christian IX and Queen Louise, and Constantine was a Prince of Denmark in his own right. During his first visit to Greece using this passport, Constantine was mocked by some of the Greek media, which hellenized the "de Grecia" designation and used it as a surname, thus naming him Κωνσταντίνος Ντεγκρέτσιας ('Constantine Degrecias').
The International Olympic Committee continued to refer to Constantine as His Majesty King Constantine. In Greece, he was referred to as ο τέως βασιλιάς or ο πρώην βασιλιάς ('the former king'). His official website lists his "correct form of address" as King Constantine, former King of the Hellenes.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on 30 August 1946) is the current Queen consort of Greece as the wife of Constantine II, King of Greece. She is also a member of the Danish Royal Family as the daughter of King Fredrik IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden.
Life[]
Anne-Marie is the youngest sister of the reigning Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II.
Marriage and Issue[]
In 1959, thirteen-year-old Anne-Marie met her future husband, Constantine, Crown Prince of Greece, when he accompanied his parents on a state visit to Denmark. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the marriage of Constantine's sister Princess Sofia of Greece to Juan Carlos, Prince of Asturias at which Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid, and again in 1963 at the centenary celebrations of the Greek monarchy.
After the death of his father in 1964, the engagement between Constantine and 17-year-old Anne-Marie was announced. They were married on 18 September 1964 in Athens. Constantine and Anne-Marie have five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora, and Philippos.

Greece's former and last King Constantine II died on Tuesday aged 82. Suffering from chronic heart and mobility problems, the former king's health condition had worsened and he had been hospitalised several times in recent months. King Constantine was his country’s head of state between 1964 and 1973.
In his last public appearance in the centre of Athens last year, former King Constantine was seen in a wheelchair and with supplementary oxygen, accompanied by his sister, the former Queen Sofia of Spain, and other family members.
King Constantine II of Greece was a second cousin of King Charles III and a godfather of the Prince of Wales. King Constantine and his family had lived in London for years, before returning to Greece. His wife was Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, whom he married in 1964. They had five children together.

Born on 30 August 1946, the royal was born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, the youngest of three daughters born to King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. Her older sisters are Queen Margrethe II of Denmark (who recently made headlines due to her decision to strip four of her grandchildren of their royal titles) and Princess Benedikte of Denmark.
The sisters are related to the British Royal Family though their maternal grandmother Princess Margaret of Connaught, who was daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. This made Anne-Marie a third cousin of both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Anne-Marie is also the first cousin of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, the second cousin of King Harald V of Norway and a third cousin of King Juan Carlos I of Spain (father of King Felipe VI).

Money, power and beauty. Following Prince Michael of Greece's death, discover why the Greek royal family have been hailed the world’s ‘most glamorous’
This complex family tree is reflected in Anne-Marie’s dazzling list of godparents. Among them were representatives from five European monarchies, including Britain’s Queen Mary (wife of King George V).
Anne-Marie spent her formative years living between Danish royal palaces in Copenhagen and North Zealand. She was less than a year old when her father ascended the throne as King Frederick IX, following the death of her grandfather Christian X. At the time, only male heirs were recognised in the line of succession. However, this was changed in 1953 and Margrethe, Frederick’s eldest daughter, became heir apparent. Benedikte and Anne-Marie were second and third in line to the throne.

Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark, Princess Diana’s dashing godson, turns 37
As he celebrates his 37th birthday, Tatler looks at the charmed life of Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark
Like Queen Elizabeth II, Anne-Marie was only a teenager when she met her future husband. Constantine, a distant cousin, was introduced to the young princess while accompanying his parents King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece, on a state visit to Denmark in 1959. The pair crossed paths several times over the next few years, including at the wedding of Constantine’s sister Princess Sofia of Greece and Denmark (now Queen Sofia of Spain) to the then Prince Juan Carlos of Spain (the future King Juan Carlos I). Constantine and Anne-Marie announced their engagement in July 1964, four months after he had succeeded his father as King of the Hellenes.
Following a military coup in 1967, and an unsuccessful counter-coup, Constantine II and his family were exiled. Queen Anne-Marie, along with the rest of her family lived in a number of places including Britain and Italy. The monarchy was ultimately abolished in 1973 and Constantine II was later stripped of his Greek citizenship. Anne-Marie was not allowed to return to her beloved country until 1981 where she was allowed to attend the funeral of her mother-in-law. Constantine II returned to Greece amidst the financial crash, when the country's rich were fleeing and its youth were leaving in order to find a better life. He invested heavily in the country.

Prince William and Kate will embrace a poignant leadership role on the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death
King Charles III will be supported by Prince William and Kate as he spend the day privately in Balmoral
In January this year, Constantine II died of a stroke aged 82. Representatives from Europe's royal families made the journey to Athens to support Anne-Marie and her family. During his funeral, she paid tribute to her beloved husband in two important ways. First, she wore the crucifix that she wore on her wedding day. She also wore a wreath made up of white lilies, which was the same flower that was used for her bridal bouquet.
Undoubtedly, the death of her beloved husband will mean this birthday is particularly poignant for Queen Anne-Marie.

The late King Constantine of Greece, who died in January 2023, was Prince William’s godfather.

New York Post

Prince William has pulled out of attending a memorial service for his godfather, Greece’s late King Constantine II, due to “a personal matter” amid Kate Middleton’s abdominal-surgery recovery, according to Kensington Palace.
“Unfortunately, The Prince of Wales is no longer able to attend the King Constantine Memorial Service this morning due to a personal matter,” the palace said in a statement on Tuesday.
No further details as to why William, 41, missed the event were given. However, the palace did note that the Duchess of Wales, 42, is “doing well.”
Several other members of the royal family gathered to celebrate the life of King Constantine of Greece at Windsor Castle, including Queen Camilla; Prince Andrew; Sarah Ferguson; Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi; Princess Anne; and Zara Tindall and her husband, Mike Tindall.
Constantine died Jan. 10, 2023 at age 82.
William was initially set to attend the event solo without Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge is recuperating at her home, Adelaide Cottage, that stands on the Windsor grounds and will not be making any public appearances until at least after Easter.
William had notified Constantine’s family of his absence, alerting his widow, Queen Anne-Marie, and their son Crown Prince Pavlos and his wife, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal.
Camilla, 76, arrived without husband King Charles, 75, who is currently undergoing treatment for his cancer.
The Duke of Cambridge also missed out on the Greek monarch’s funeral last January.
His cousin, Lady Gabriella Kingston, stood in his place. The editor, 42, is the daughter of Prince Michael of Kent, Queen Elizabeth’s first cousin.
A medley of European crowned heads descended upon Athens for the burial. Among them were the Princess Royal, 73, and Spain’s King Felipe and Queen Letizia.
The former Olympian was then buried privately at Tatoi Palace in Greece.
Constantine and the Greek royal family were close to their British counterparts. Queen Elizabeth’s husband, Prince Philip, was a royal of Greek and Danish blood, and was born on the Greek island Corfu.
The Duke of Edinburgh was a first cousin of Constantine’s father, King Paul I.
William is even a godfather to one of Prince Pavlos’ children, Constantine Alexios.
While King Constantine became the sovereign of Greece in 1964, the monarchy was abolished in 1973. He was then exiled to Britain.

For the royal women at King Carl XVI Gustaf’s Golden Jubilee gala dinner on 15 September 2023, it was another opportunity to wear their best jewels. For a handful of them, it was the chance to re-wear their respective wedding tiaras.
Queen Anne-Marie of Greece — The Khedive of Egypt Tiara
Embed from Getty Images
Queen Anne-Marie’s wedding tiara, the Khedive of Egypt tiara, is a stunning Cartier diamond laurel scroll tiara created at the top of the 20th century for her grandmother, Princess Margaret, as a wedding gift from the last Khedive of Egypt.
After her death, her only daughter, Ingrid, inherited the tiara and brought it to Denmark upon marriage in 1935. Queen Ingrid then loaned out the Khedive of Egypt tiara liberally, sparking a royal tradition for the women of the Danish, Greek, and Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg families.
Queen Margrethe, Queen Anne-Marie, Princess Benedikte, Princess Alexandra of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, and Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark have all worn the Khedive of Egypt tiara on their wedding days.
Queen Anne-Marie’s wedding took place on 18 September 1964, when she was 18-years-old. She paired it with the antique lace veil from Princess Margaret’s wedding in 1905, which nearly every bride in the family has also worn.
In 2000, upon the death of Queen Ingrid, Queen Anne-Marie inherited the tiara.
Crown Princess Mary — Crown Princess Mary’s Wedding Tiara
Embed from Getty Images
Crown Princess Mary received a special wedding present from Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik when she married Crown Prince Frederik on 14 May 2004: her own diamond tiara.
The exact provenance of the tiara has never been shared, and it is a personal gift from the Queen and Prince Henrik, not a loan that will someday return to the Danish Royal Family’s jewel vault.
Crown Princess Mary’s wedding tiara is a delicate diamond tiara with motifs of hearts and fleurs-de-lys on a tiny band. It can be converted into a necklace as well, and Mary has worn it in this form on many occasions. In 2011, it was altered by Marianne Dulong, a Danish jeweller, to add a row of pearls to the base and pearl toppers that could be added to the short elements.
Princess Sofia — Princess Sofia’s Wedding Tiara
Embed from Getty Images
Princess Sofia received a very special gift from King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia on her wedding day, 13 June 2015: a tiara fashioned from, reportedly, one of the Queen’s necklaces.
Princess Sofia’s tiara is fashioned from diamond palmettes and diamond spikes on a small frame and was created in total secrecy for the new royal in 2015. Reportedly, Queen Silvia had the tiara created in Thailand so it wouldn’t leak to the press and ruin Princess Sofia’s surprise.
In the years since, Princess Sofia’s wedding tiara has proven to be a versatile piece of jewellery. Worn on her wedding day with emerald attachments, Princess Sofia is also able to swap out the jewels on her tiara with pearls, diamonds, turquoises, and, as debuted last week, citrines.
Princess Madeleine — The Modern Fringe Tiara
Embed from Getty Images
On 8 June 2013, Princess Madeleine wore the Modern Fringe tiara to her wedding to Christopher O’Neill.
Like Crown Princess Mary, the exact provenance of Princess Madeleine’s wedding tiara is unknown. It first appeared in the Swedish Royal Family around 1986, with many speculating that it might be a tenth wedding anniversary gift from King Carl XVI Gustaf to his bride.
The Modern Fringe is a personal gift to Queen Silvia and does not belong to the Swedish Royal Family’s jewel foundation, which takes care of maintenance and ownership of the family’s jewels.
Its stylised diamond elements resemble floral elements, and it can be adapted into a necklace. Over the years, it became increasingly associated with Princess Madeleine, and the Swedish Royal Court confirmed that it had been gifted to her personally by her parents.

Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece was only a boy when his father was exiled, but now his family are some of the most glamorous European royals.
|

The Australian Women's Weekly

The children and grandchildren of deposed King Constantine II of Greece have wealth, beauty, fame and are widely considered the most glamorous of the European royals. But they do not have a kingdom … yet. In our Christmas 2023 edition, The Weekly looked at the fall – and new rise – of the Greek royal family.
There was no official mourning, no gun salute, no slow march through the ancient streets of Athens, but when the coffin of King Constantine II of Greece arrived at the city’s Metropolitan Cathedral on January 16, 2023, it was to large crowds and an extraordinary show of royal solidarity.
Beneath the cathedral’s magnificent Byzantine dome stood a formidable array of crowned heads from around the world, including three kings, six queens, an empress, a tsar, numerous crown princes and princesses, and a grand duke. All had come from their various realms to honour a long-deposed and exiled monarch, now dismissively referred to by the Greek authorities as ‘Mr Constantine Glücksburg’.
Incense and prayer chants filled the air and warm tributes were paid, but it was the closing address of the late king’s heir, Crown Prince Pavlos, 56, that made a nation watching on live TV sit bolt upright: “My dear father,” he declared. “This is not the end.”
It would be tempting to say that the Greek royal family now reigns over nothing more than the covers of glossy magazines. The Prince of Greece, his mega-rich heiress wife, Princess Marie-Chantal and their five photogenic children are familiar sights in the fashionable resorts of the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Alps. Their grand homes in London, New York, the English countryside and the Bahamas are cited as a testament to their taste and refinement.
Yet wealth and glamour don’t necessarily compensate for the loss of a kingdom, and the word from Greece’s royalist faithful is that Pavlos and his privileged kin are discretely looking for something more.
Today, with the old royal family scattered, only Constantine’s steadfast widow, Queen Anne-Marie, 76, the younger sister of Queen Margrethe of Denmark, remains in Greece, occupying a modest Athens apartment. (As a tale of two sisters, the super-popular Margrethe and the dispossessed, rarely-seen Anne-Marie could hardly offer a greater contrast.)
But after exactly 50 years as a republic, there is the sense of a changing mood in Greece. The death of 82-year-old Constantine not only brought the royalist flags and anthems back onto the streets, but forced a softening of the official stance against any kind of reconciliation with the monarchy. Having initially announced that the king would be buried as a private citizen, with no state recognition, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis backtracked in the face of criticism and sent his deputy to the funeral.
Then, in early March, the prince of Greece dropped another bombshell. He revealed that he and Marie-Chantal were looking for a permanent home in Greece, and in an interview with a French magazine, added: “We want to be more visible to the Greek people. They will be seeing a lot more of us in the future.”
Was the tall, goatee-bearded prince dangling a subtle proposition before his father’s former subjects? If so, despite all the swirl of positive sentiment around the funeral, he will face formidable obstacles.
Pavlos was only seven months old when his father, was forced into exile by the military junta that had seized power in Greece. In a bungled attempt to restore democracy, Constantine launched a counter-coup, which was quickly crushed, and in late 1967, the vengeful ‘Colonels’ drove him out of the country. The royal family fled first to Rome, then to London, where Constantine and his wife, Queen Anne-Marie, were welcomed by Queen Elizabeth and her Greek-born husband Prince Philip. England would remain their home for the next 47 years.
Perhaps unfairly, many Greeks blamed the young, inexperienced king – then only three years into his reign – for failing to resist the junta in the first place, and in 1973, after a one-sided referendum, the monarchy was abolished. All the royal family’s properties, including the historic Tatoi Palace in the hills outside Athens, were confiscated, and their titles scrapped. In what was seen as a calculated slight, Constantine and his family were officially accorded the name ‘Glücksburg’ – a reference to a castle owned by a Danish branch of the family.
Supported by a group of wealthy Greek sympathisers, Constantine, Anne-Marie and their family lived a genteel life in London, moving among the cream of high society, and becoming particularly close to the current King Charles and his then wife, Diana, Princess of Wales. Yet his heart yearned for Greece, and the little prince of Greece was raised with the idea that the old country was his destiny.
Further humiliations were heaped upon the ex-king. In 1993, he was stripped of his citizenship, his passport was cancelled and during a holiday cruise around Greek waters, his yacht was harassed by naval vessels and warplanes. The now stateless king refused to retaliate. His friend, shipping heir and author Taki Theodoracopulous, remembers Constantine forbidding him from criticising the regime on the royal family’s behalf. “He never complained and never accused his enemies,” says Taki.
It wasn’t until ten years ago that Constantine and Anne-Marie were finally allowed to return home. They moved into a grand seaside villa on the Argolis Peninsula, two hours drive from Athens, in an area known as the ‘Hamptons of Greece’. But they had to agree to keeping a low profile, and to desist from engaging in ‘political activity’.
As long as his father was alive, Pavlos, too, felt constrained from doing anything the ever-sensitive Greek authorities might consider provocative. Educated at a private Hellenic school, founded by his father in London, Pavlos later attended Sandhurst, Britain’s elite military training college, and was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
In 1995, having left the army, the prince of Greece married Marie-Chantal Miller, the vivacious daughter of an Anglo-American business tycoon. It was the society wedding of the year, with a virtual Who’s Who of European royalty in attendance. Pavlos later joked to Charles that there were more royals at his marriage to Marie-Chantal than at Charles’ nuptials with Diana at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Today the couple and their children divide their time between New York, where Pavlos works as an investment banker, and London, where 54-year-old Marie-Chantal’s luxury childrenswear business is based.
Marie Provost, a writer with the French magazine Point de Vue, which specialises in royal coverage, says: “They are Europe’s most glamorous royal family by far, and they are also very close and hard working and rather nice, too.”
The family powerhouse is undoubtedly Marie-Chantal, whose billionaire father, Bob Warren, owns a global chain of duty-free shops. Raised in Hong Kong, the hub of Bob’s business empire, she was sent to schools in London, Paris and Switzerland, and went on to university in New York, where she moved in bohemian circles, working at one time for pop artist Andy Warhol at his notorious Factory.
It was in New York that the blonde, waif-like ‘factory girl’ met the straight-laced, stiff-mannered, fresh-out-of-the-army Pavlos. They were set up on a blind date by a Greek friend of the prince, who had a hunch that for all their apparent differences they might hit it off.
They did. “We just clicked,” Marie-Chantal said later. “It was love at first sight. I knew he would be the person I would marry.”
They remained for a while in New York, then in 2002 moved to London, with Pavlos apparently keen for the three children they now had to receive European educations. Their new home, a magnificent double-fronted mansion in Chelsea’s Thames-side Cheyne Walk, quickly became – and remains – a hub of social activity.
A country estate in the Cotswolds – close to King Charles’ Highgrove pile – and a hunting lodge in Yorkshire were soon added to the couple’s UK property portfolio. The couple could afford it. According to the London Sunday Times’ annual Rich List, Marie Chantal alone has a net worth of A$ 4.3 billion.
Not that she has any inclination to join the idle rich. For the last 20 years, the princess has run her own ‘Marie-Chantal’ exclusive babywear and children’s clothing business with a flagship store in London’s Belgravia. She designs many of the items herself, which are often spotted on pampered junior members of the European aristocracy.
“My brand is like my sixth child,” Marie-Chantal told The London Times: “I was a young mother, pregnant with my third child when I started it, and I wanted to work. I’m very creative. I love to draw, and I wanted to do something in the world of luxury or retail because that was what I was exposed to through my father’s business.”
The couple’s three eldest children have been busily blazing their own path through the social scene, with daughter, Marie-Olympia, 27, a goddaughter of King Charles, leading the way. British society magazine Tatler calls her: “The undisputed It girl of London,” and while her modelling career has yet to hit stellar heights, she is prized in the fashion trade as an ambassador for brands such as Dior, Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton. “She’s the life and soul,” says celebrity photographer German Larkin. “She has that sleek, stylish look that every photographer loves.”
Eldest son, Constantine-Alexios, 24, known to his friends as ‘Tino’ and described by royal writer Hilary Rose as “a young, blond Greek god,” has inherited his mother’s artistic bent and is said to be pursuing a career as a sculptor. At least when he isn’t pursuing the upper class girls who flock each summer to the fashionable Greek islands of Mykonos and Patmos, where the holidaying royals like to anchor their yacht. Tino is currently dating society model Poppy Delevingne, 36, who last year split from her businessman husband James Cook.
Then there’s the “fluffy-haired heartthrob” Prince Achileas-Andreas, 23, an aspiring actor known by the stage name ‘Achi Miller’, who has already appeared in an American daytime soap opera. A recent graduate of Manhattan University, Achi has been escorting heiress, Natalie Massenet, daughter of his mother’s best friend Isabella Massenet, founder of the Net-a-Porter fashion company. The two youngest sons, Odysseas-Kimon and Aristidis-Stavros, 15, are both students.
As a royal family with everything except a kingdom, the ‘Golden Greeks’ are biding their time, rebuilding their links with their lost homeland, and not, at least in the short term, expecting too much.
“I don’t think a complete return is likely,” says Andreas Megos, editor of a popular Greek website focusing on the royals. “It’s been too long a time, and most people can’t even remember when we had a monarchy. But those old wounds are healing, and there’s plenty of respect and goodwill towards Pavlos. We saw it on the streets. I think he could definitely play a role here.”
In a similar vein, the prince of Greece insists that he is not seeking to retake the throne. “I’m not looking for anything,” he said. “Our role is to be good people, and do what we can to help the country.”
Yet the signs of reconciliation are everywhere. Despite the political sensitivities, the governing New Democracy party has a substantial monarchist wing, and several of its leading figures are on good terms with the royals. Polls still show a clear majority of voters preferring to remain a republic, but the gap has narrowed in recent years, and as Greece has struggled with chronic economic and social problems, many seem open to the idea of a new constitutional model.
Queen Anne-Marie, a poignant figure at her husband’s funeral, has proved to be a model of dignity and discretion, and is seen by many as the mother of the nation.
‘Exile’ comes from the Greek word for flight, and in ancient times was a common punishment for leaders who were deemed to have failed the people. The good news was that it only lasted for ten years before the slate was wiped clean. Constantine’s exile lasted long enough to pay the debts of five generations, and it may not take that long for his successors to bounce back.

Greece's Princess Nina borrowed Queen Anne-Marie's tiara for her royal wedding.
Nina married the Queen's son Prince Philippos at a religious ceremony on Saturday.
The bride wore a Chanel dress with a bow at the front.
The newly-titled Princess Nina of Greece wore her mother-in-law's tiara at her third wedding ceremony on Saturday.
Nina Flohr married King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie's son, Prince Philippos, at a religious ceremony in Athens after the couple had two previous wedding ceremonies in Switzerland and the UK, Vanity Fair reported.
Flohr wore a white silk moire taffeta gown by Chanel, according to the fashion blog Royal Hats. The V-neck dress featured a bow at the front and a pleated skirt.
Flohr completed the look with the antique corsage tiara that belongs to Queen Anne-Marie, the blog post added.
The tiara has a fascinating history. Queen Ingrid of Denmark had the tiara made from a set of brooches that she inherited from her grandmother, Queen Victoria of Sweden, according to the royal fashion blog Tiara Mania.
It was given to the then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on her 18th birthday in 1964, the blog post added.
Anne-Marie, who became Queen of Greece upon her marriage to King Constantine II later that year, has allowed royal brides to borrow it over the years. It was most recently worn by Crown Princess Marie-Chantal at her royal wedding to Crown Prince Pavlos in 1995, and Princess Tatiana at her wedding to Prince Nikolaos in 2010, according to Tiara Mania.
The Greek royal family were in attendance at Nina and Philippos' wedding on Saturday.
Although King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie obtain their titles, the Greek monarchy was abolished in 1974 and the family spent several years in exile. Philippos, now 35, was born in London.

King Constantine II of Greece: Heartbroken wife Anne-Marie’s last words to her late husband revealed

There were some heartbreaking scenes as King Constantine's family laid him to rest in a funeral service in Athens on Monday.
Leading the mourners – which included a number of prominent European royals – was his wife of 58 years, Anne-Marie, who looked understandably devastated at the loss of her husband.
WATCH: Royal love stories: How did these couples meet?
The couple got engaged in 1962 when she was 16; her father King Frederick IX of Denmark was initially hesitant about giving his blessing given her age. He asked the couple to keep their engagement secret until she had finished her education and turned 18.
In January 1963, the Danish royal court announced the couple's plans to marry.

During their long marriage, they welcomed five children together. Constantine and Anne-Marie were the last of the Greek monarchs; the monarchy was abolished in June 1973, nine years after Constantine became king.

The pair were devoted with each other – as evidenced by Anne-Marie's moving tribute to her husband at his funeral.
The couple were happily married for 58 years
Her wreath was comprised of lilies of the valley, the same flowers that were used for her wedding bouquet in 1964. And the attached card revealed her final words to her husband: "Your beloved Anna-Maria."

Poignantly, she also wore the same diamond cross pendant that she wore at her wedding.
Anne-Marie was clearly heartbroken at the funeral for her husband
The couple were married in a Greek Orthodox ceremony on 18 September 1964 in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens. The couple exchanged vows in front of 1,200 guests, including King Charles, before enjoying a reception at the Royal Palace.
Her bouquet for Constantine
In a nod to her Danish heritage, Anne-Marie rocked a wedding dress by Danish designer Jorgen Bender, complete with cropped sleeves and an empire line waist and a 20-foot train. She teamed it with a diamond tiara belonging to her mother and a lace veil from her grandmother Margaret. Meanwhile, the King wore his white uniform.
Three years later, Constantine was forced into exile after clashing with military rulers.

European Royal History

https://europeanroyalhistory.wordpress.com/tag/king-constantine-ii-of-greece/
|
King Frederik VII (October 6, 1808 – November 15, 1863) was King of Denmark from 1848 to 1863. He was the last Danish monarch of the older Royal branch of the House of Oldenburg and the last king of Denmark to rule as an absolute monarch. During his reign, he signed a constitution that established a Danish parliament and made the country a constitutional monarchy.
Marriages
King Frederik VII’s first two marriages both ended in scandal and divorce. He was first married in Copenhagen on November 1, 1828 to his second cousin Princess Wilhelmine Marie of Denmark, a daughter of King Frederik VI of Denmark by his wife and first cousin Princess Marie Sophie of Hesse-Cassel. Her father Frederik VI was the only son of King Christian VII of Denmark.
They separated in 1834 and divorced in 1837. On June 10, 1841 he married for a second time to Duchess Caroline Charlotte Mariane of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the daughter of Georg, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and his consort Princess Marie of Hesse-Cassel.
Very early on, the marriage proved to be a very unhappy one, due in large part to The Crown Prince (as Frederik VI was then) displayed a very bad temperament, excessive drinking and shameless womanizing. Princess Caroline Mariane, who was described as incurably shy and nervous, lacked the ability to serve as a calming influence over her consort. After a visit to her parents in Germany in 1844, Caroline Mariane refused to return to Denmark. The divorce was completed in 1846.
On August 7, 1850 in Frederiksborg Palace, he morganatically married Louise Christina Rasmussen, whom he created Landgravine Danner in 1850 a milliner and former ballet dancer who had for many years been his acquaintance or mistress, the natural daughter of Gotthilf L. Køppen and of Juliane Caroline Rasmussen. This marriage seems to have been happy, although it aroused great moral indignation among the nobility and the bourgeoisie.
After three marriages without any issue it created a succession crisis as there was no clear heir to succeed King Frederik VII.
Also at stake was the future of the duchies of Schleswig (a Danish fief) and of Holstein and Lauenburg (German fiefs) which were joined by personal union with the Kingdom of Denmark. However, since Frederik VII of Denmark was childless, a change in dynasty was imminent and the lines of succession for the duchies and Denmark diverged.
London Protocol.
On May 8, 1852, after the First War of Schleswig, an agreement called the London Protocol was signed. This international treaty was the revision of an earlier protocol, which had been ratified on August 2, 1850, by the major German powers of Austria and Prussia.
The second London Protocol was recognised by the five major European powers—Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, and the United Kingdom—as well as by the Baltic Sea powers of Denmark and Sweden. The aim of this Protocol was to determine the future of the Schleswig-Holstein duchies and find a suitable heir to the Danish throne.
The Protocol affirmed the integrity of the Danish federation as a “European necessity and standing principle”.
That meant that, contrary to the Protocol, the new king of Denmark would not also be the new Duke of Holstein and Lauenburg. So for this purpose, the line of succession to the duchies was modified. Further, it was affirmed that the duchies were to remain as independent entities, and that Schleswig would have no greater constitutional affinity to Denmark than Holstein did.
In 1851, Russian Emperor Nicholas I had recommended that Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (born 1818) should be advanced in the Danish succession.
Prince Christian was a younger son of Friedrich Wilhelm, Duke of Glücksburg.
Christian grew up in the Duchy of Schleswig as a Prince of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, a junior branch of the House of Oldenburg which had ruled Denmark since 1448. Following the early death of the father in 1831, Christian grew up in Denmark and was educated at the Military Academy of Copenhagen. After unsuccessfully seeking the hand of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom in marriage, he married his double second cousin, Princess Louise of Hesse-Cassel, in 1842.
Prince Christian of Glücksburg had also been a foster grandson of the royal couple King Frederik VI and Queen Marie Sophie, and thus was well known at the royal court. Prince Christian was a nephew of Queen Marie Sophie and descended from a first cousin of Frederik VI. He was brought up as a Dane, having lived in Danish-speaking lands of the royal dynasty and never bore arms for German interests against Denmark, as had other princes of the House of Glücksburg and the House of Augustenburg.
A further justification for this choice was Christian’s marriage in 1842 to Louise of Hesse-Cassel, who was a daughter of the closest female relative of Frederik VII. Louise’s mother and elder siblings renounced their rights to the Danish throne in favor of Louise and her husband.
Being of the House of Glücksburg made him a relatively attractive royal candidate from the Danish viewpoint since, as a descendant of Frederik III, he was eligible to succeed in Denmark, although not first-in-line. He was also, but separately, eligible to inherit the dual duchies, but was not first-in-line
This proposal to have Prince Christian was confirmed by the London Protocol on 8 May 1852, when Prince Christian was chosen to follow Frederik VII’s aging uncle Ferdinand in the line of succession.
The decision of the London Protocol was implemented by the Danish Law of Succession of July 15, 1853 entitled Royal Ordinance settling the Succession to the Crown on Prince Christian of Glücksburg. This designated him as second-in-line to the Danish throne, following the elderly Prince Ferdinand. Consequently, Prince Christian and his family were granted the titles of Prince and Princess of Denmark and the style of Highness.
Frederick VII died in Glücksburg on November 15, 1863 following an attack of erysipelas and was interred in Roskilde Cathedral. Prince Christian took the throne as King Christian IX.
In November 1863, Friedrich of Augustenborg claimed the twin-duchies in succession to Frederik VII of Denmark, who also was the last king of Denmark who, by primogeniture, was also sovereign Duke of Schleswig and Holstein, but whose death extinguished the patriline of Denmark’s hereditary Oldenburg kings. The resulting divergence of hereditary claims to the duchies eventually developed into the Second War of Schleswig.
Christian IX’s six children with Louise married into other European royal families, earning him the sobriquet “the father-in-law of Europe”. Among his descendants are Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, King Philippe of Belgium, King Harald V of Norway, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, King Charles III of the United Kingdom, former King Constantine II of Greece, and King Felipe VI of Spain.
It is not just male names I rendered in thier original language but female names too. For example, in French Margaret is generally translated as Marguerite. Germany is where I tend to be inconsistent. For example the name Louise is often spelled Luise but more often I use the English spelling. Elizabeth in both German and French is often spelled Elisabeth which I will use for German and French princesses.
Names in the Portuguese language is often very similar to the names in Spanish. One difference is the name John. In Spanish John becomes Juan but in Portuguese it becomes João. It is pronounced very close to the French version of John which is spelled Jean.
Here is a very short YouTube clip of how to pronounce João in Portuguese.

Here is where my inconsistencies come in. I mentioned yesterday that the name Mikhail Gorbachev was one of the names that inspired me to render names in thier native language. However, I ended up keeping the names of Eastern European Royalty in English.
So Mikhail remains Michael. The last Emperor of Russia in the Russian language is known as Emperor Nikolai II of Russia but I prefer the English name of Nicholas. The father of Nicholas II is Alexander III but in Russian it is Aleksandr III.
Where I am inconsistent is with the son of Nicholas II. In English he is called Alexis but in Russian his name is Alexei which is the name I prefer. See! I told you I was inconsistent!
Therefore, in Eastern European Royalty such as Poland, Hungary, Bohemia, Croatia, Romania and Greece I use English to translate thier names.
For example, the late Duke of Edinburgh was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. In Greek the name Philip is rendered Fílippos (sometimes spelled Philippos). The former King of Greece, Constantine II, is known as Konstantínos II in Greek.
Where I run into trouble is that the father of King Constantine II is King Paul of Greece yet I often see the eldest son of King Constantine II called Crown Prince Pavlos instead.
Italy is where I am all over the place! For example, the second to last King of Italy was Victor Emmanuel III. In Italian it’s rendered Vittorio Emanuele III. To be honest I’ve used both versions. The same with the name Charles Albert. I prefer that over Carlo Alberto.
However, I prefer Carlo Felice, King of Sardinia over the English translation, Charles Felix. The last King of Italy was King Umberto II. In English Umberto is translated as Humbert. With apologies to people named Humbert I much prefer the name Umberto!
Lastly is the Dutch translation of the name William. In Dutch it’s Willem and that is the name I use for Dutch Princes and Kings. However, I handle the name of Willem III, Prince of Orange who became King of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1689 rather uniquely.
Prior to his succession to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland I refer to him as Prince Willem III of Orange, Stadtholder of the Netherlands. After he becomes King I then call him King William III of England, Scotland and Ireland.
In the next entry I will speak of how I handle titles from other languages besides English.
February 6, 1665. Birth of the future Queen Anne. Anne was born at 11:39 p.m. on February 6, 1665 at St James’s Palace, London, the fourth child and second daughter of the Duke of York (afterwards James II and VII), and his first wife, Anne Hyde. Her father was the younger brother of King Charles II, and her mother was the daughter of Lord Chancellor Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon. was the Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland between March 8, 1702 and May 1, 1707. On May 1, 1707, under the Acts of Union, two of her realms, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, united as a single sovereign state known as Great Britain. She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death. Anne remained Queen of Ireland in the form of a personal union with the British Crown and wouldn’t be politically united with Great Britain until 1801.
February 6, 1685. Death of King Charles II of England, Scotland and Ireland. Charles suffered a sudden apoplectic fit on the morning of February 2, 1685, and died aged 54 at 11:45 am four days later at Whitehall Palace. The suddenness of his illness and death led to suspicion of poison in the minds of many, including one of the royal doctors; however, a more modern medical analysis has held that the symptoms of his final illness are similar to those of uraemia (a clinical syndrome due to kidney dysfunction). In the days between his collapse and his death, Charles endured a variety of torturous treatments including bloodletting, purging and cupping in hopes of effecting a recovery. Charles was succeeded by his brother, the Duke of York, who became James II of England and Ireland and James VII of Scotland.
February 6, 1840. Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was naturalised by Act of Parliament, and granted the style of Royal Highness by an Order in Council, four days before his marriage to Queen Victoria. The British Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, advised the Queen against granting her husband the title of “King Consort”; Parliament also objected to Albert being created a peer—partly because of anti-German sentiment and a desire to exclude Albert from any political role. Albert claimed that he had no need of a British peerage, writing: “It would almost be a step downwards, for as a Duke of Saxony, I feel myself much higher than a Duke of York or Kent.” For the next seventeen years, Albert was formally titled “HRH Prince Albert” until, on June 25, 1857, Victoria formally granted him the title Prince Consort.
February 6, 1899. Prince Alfred of Edinburgh, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (October 15, 1874 – February 6, 1899), was the son and heir apparent of Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. He died aged 24 under circumstances still not entirely clear. The exact circumstances of Alfred’s death are not known, and varying accounts have been published. His sister Marie’s memoirs simply say his health “broke down”, and other writers have said that he had “consumption”. The Times published an account stating he had died of a tumor, while the Complete Peerage gives the generally accepted account that he “shot himself”. He was a first cousin of King George V of the United Kingdom, German Emperor Wilhelm II, Emperor Nicholas II of Russia and brother of Queen Maria a Romania.
February 6, 1952. George VI of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland died and was succeeded by his elder daughter as Queen Elizabeth II. On the morning of February 6, at 07:30 GMT, George VI was found dead in bed at his Sandringham House in Norfolk. He had died from a coronary thrombosis in his sleep at the age of 56. Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh had just returned to their Kenyan home, Sagana Lodge, after a night spent at Treetops Hotel, when word arrived of the death of the King and consequently Elizabeth’s immediate accession to the throne. This marks her 68th year on the throne.
February 6, 1981. Queen Frederica of Greece, was born Her Royal Highness Princess Frederica of Hanover, and of Great Britain and Ireland, and of Brunswick-Lüneburg on April 18, 1917 in Blankenburg am Harz, in the German Duchy of Brunswick, she was the only daughter and third child of Ernst August, then reigning Duke of Brunswick, and his wife Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, herself the only daughter of the German Emperor Wilhelm II. Both her father and maternal grandfather would abdicate their crowns in November 1918 following Germany’s defeat in World War I, and her paternal grandfather would be stripped of his British royal dukedom the following year. As a descendant of Queen Victoria, she was, at birth, 34th in the line of succession to the British throne.
Prince Paul of Greece (future King of Greece) proposed to her during the summer of 1936, while he was in Berlin attending the 1936 Summer Olympics. Paul was a son of King Constantine I and Frederica’s grand-aunt Sophia. Accordingly, they were maternal first cousins once removed. They were also paternal second cousins as great-grandchildren of Christian IX of Denmark. Their engagement was announced officially on September 28, 1937, and Britain’s King George VI gave his consent pursuant to the Royal Marriages Act 1772 on December 26, 1937. They married in Athens on January 9, 1938. Frederica became Hereditary Princess of Greece, her husband being heir presumptive to his childless elder brother, King George II.
Frederica died on February 6, 1981 in exile in Madrid of heart failure, reportedly following eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), although a biographer has claimed the surgery was cataract removal. She was interred at Tatoi (the Royal family’s palace and burial ground in Greece). Her son, King Constantine II, and his family were allowed to attend the service but had to leave immediately afterwards.
The House of Glücksburg
The House of Glücksburg (also spelled Glücksborg), shortened from House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, is a Dano-German branch of the House of Oldenburg, members of which have reigned at various times in Denmark, Norway, Greece and several northern German states.
The family takes its ducal name from Glücksburg, a small coastal town in Schleswig, on the southern, German side of the fjord of Flensburg that divides Germany from Denmark. In 1460, Glücksburg came, as part of the conjoined Dano-German duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, to Count Christian VII of Oldenburg whom, in 1448, the Danes had elected their king as Christian I, the Norwegians likewise taking him as their hereditary king in 1450.
Older Line
History
In 1564, Christian I’s great-grandson, King Frederik II, in re-distributing Schleswig and Holstein’s fiefs, retained some lands for his own senior royal line while allocating Glücksburg to his brother Duke Johann II the Younger (1545-1622), along with Sonderburg, in appanage. Both King Frederik II and Johann II the Younger were sons of King Christian III of Denmark and his wife, Dorothea of Saxe-Lauenburg.
Johann II, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg
This line was founded by the duke Philip of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (1584–1663) a son of Johann II the Younger of Denmark. Johann’s heirs further sub-divided their share and created, among other branches, a line of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg dukes at Beck (an estate near Minden bought by the family in 1605), who remained vassals of Denmark’s kings.
The line was named after Glücksburg Castle, where he had his headquarters. Members of this line bore the title of Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. However, they had limited powers in ruling their territory, since it was not an estate of the Realm, but a fief of the Duchy of Holstein-Gottorp. Later, the family gave up these rights altogether and continued as titular dukes.
The last duke of this line, Frederik Henrik Wilhelm, died in 1779 without any hires and this older line of the dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg became extinct.
Younger Line
By 1825, the castle of Glücksburg had returned to the Danish crown and was given that year by King Frederick VI, along with a new ducal title, to his kinsman Frederich of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck. Friedrich suffixed the territorial designation to the ducal title he already held, in lieu of “Beck” (an estate the family had, in fact, sold in 1745). Thus emerged the extant Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
The Danish line of Oldenburg kings died out in 1863, and the elder line of the Schleswig-Holstein family became extinct with the death of the last Augustenburg duke in 1931. Thereafter, the House of Glücksburg became the senior surviving line of the House of Oldenburg. Another cadet line of Oldenburgs, the Dukes of Holstein-Gottorp, consisted of two branches which held onto sovereignty into the 20th century. But members of the Romanov line were executed in or exiled from their Russian Empire in 1917, while the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg was abolished in 1918, although its dynastic line survives.
Neither the Dukes of Beck nor of Glücksburg had been sovereign rulers; they held their lands in fief from the ruling Dukes of Schleswig and Holstein, i.e. the Kings of Denmark and (until 1773) the Dukes of Holstein-Gottorp.
Christian IX, King of Denmark.
Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, the fourth son of Duke Friedrich of Glücksburg, was recognized in the London Protocol of 1852 as successor to the childless King Frederik VII of Denmark. He became King of Denmark as Christian IX on November 15, 1863.
Christian IX’s older brother inherited formal headship of the family as Karl, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. It is his descendants who now represent the senior line of the Schleswig-Holstein branch of the House of Oldenburg.
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, King Harald V of Norway, King Constantine II of Greece, Queen Sofía of Spain and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (and his eldest son and heir to the British throne Charles, Prince of Wales, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince George of Cambridge) are patrilineal members of cadet branches of the Glücksburg dynasty, via their descent from Christian IX of Denmark.
Prince Julius of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (younger brother Christian IX of Denmark).

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece paid a moving tribute to her husband King Constantine II as she attended his emotional funeral yesterday.
The widow, 76, was teary-eyed as she donned the same cross pendant she wore at her wedding to the late monarch during the proceedings in Athens.
While photos from the joyous nuptials in 1964 show the queen adorned in her bridal get up with the diamond charm on a chain, she yesterday sported it on a string of pearls.
Snaps from 59 years ago show the loved up couple in the Greek capital, with Anne-Marie looking stunning in an elegant white dress and glittering crown as a dapper Constantine flaunted his medals for the occasion.
It comes as royals from across Europe appeared emotional as they watched the late's king's coffin depart the Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral - ahead of a procession to his former summer palace of Tatoi on Monday.
Constantine passed away from a stroke on January 10 in the Greek capital at the age of 82 - more than 50 years after he was exiled in a military coup.
Princess Anne - who was the Greek King's second cousin - appeared stoic as she entered the cathedral in Athens with husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence this morning.
The public funeral was followed by a 29km procession to Tatoi Palace, from which there was a separate private ceremony with Constantine laid to rest with other members of the Greek royal family.
Constantine's son Crown Prince Pavlos bowed his head as he looked over his father's coffin inside the church.
Shortly afterwards, the grieving son greeted Queen Letizia of Spain with a kiss on the hand on the top of the cathedral steps.
The Spanish monarch, 50, styled her hair in a chic updo and opted for minimal jewellery to offset her tailored black coat dress.
Prince Albert of Monaco also made the journey to Greece and was pictured acknowledging crowds of mourners with a wave as he entered the cathedral.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looked visibly emotional as they arrived at the service arm-in-arm.
Meanwhile, former Spanish king Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, who is Constantine's sister, were among other high-profile European royalty in attendance.
It comes after Greek mourners lined the streets of Athens to pay their respects to King Constantine II - who was the Duke of Edinburgh's nephew - before funeral processions began.
Members of the public queued through the night to see the last King of Greece's coffin at the chapel of Agios Eleftherios, next to the cathedral.
Constantine's coffin was draped in a Greek flag as members of the public were invited into the chapel to say their goodbyes to the former monarch.
Over the weekend, royals from across Europe - including Queen Margrethe of Denmark and King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain - flew into the Greek capital to attend the funeral yesterday.
Deputy Prime Minister Pangagiotis Pikrammenos and Culture and Sports Minister Lina Mendoni represented the Greek government at the service.
Among the other European royals to attend were King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, as well as Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands.
There are a total of 200 guests who attended the proceedings - including Greek shipowners and businessmen.
A second cousin of King Charles and Godfather to Prince William, Constantine II lived most of his life in exile after a Greek referendum which rejected the monarchy in 1974.
He was the only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece and the last king of the country.
Constantine, an Olympics gold medalist in sailing, was 27 years old and had been a king for three years in 1967, when he was forced into exile with his wife Princess Anne-Marie, the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and his family.
He wasn't to return to Greece for decades, where he was deeply unpopular for his decision to swear-in the colonels who seized power in April 1967. He briefly cooperated with them before staging a failed counter-coup, that led to his exile.
The military junta abolished the monarchy in 1973. In a referendum after the fall of the junta in 1974, Greece rejected monarchy again.
After the referendum, his relationship with Greece was testy. He was allowed to return only for a few hours in 1981 to bury his mother, Queen Frederika, at the family estate at Tatoi, about 20 kilometres north of Athens.
In the 1990s, Constantine was stripped of his Greek citizenship and the state seized Tatoi and a palace on the island of Corfu where Britain's Prince Philip was born.
The King had been in ill health in recent months, having several hospital admissions towards the end of 2022.
He is survived by his wife, the former princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II; five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos; and nine grandchildren.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Eagle_Scouts
|
Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Scouts BSA program division of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Since it was first awarded to Arthur Rose Eldred on August 21, 1912, Eagle Scout has been earned by more than two million youth.[3] The list below includes notable recipients.
As of 2014 , requirements include earning at least 21 merit badges and demonstrating Scout Spirit, leadership, and service. The requirements include an Eagle Scout Service Project where the Scout must further demonstrate service and leadership.[4] Eagle Scouts are recognized with a medal and a cloth badge that visibly recognizes the accomplishments of the Scout. Eagle Palms are a further recognition, awarded for completing additional tenure, leadership, and merit badge requirements. Typically adult volunteers who have received the Eagle award as a youth wear a smaller patch depicting a square knot.
The Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (DESA) is bestowed to Eagle Scouts for nationally renowned distinguished service in their profession and to the community for a period of at least 25 years after earning the Eagle Scout rank.[5] Since its introduction in 1969 by the National Eagle Scout Association, the DESA has been awarded to over 2,000 Eagle Scouts.[a]
The NESA Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA) is bestowed to Eagle Scouts who have distinguished themselves at a local-to-regional level or who have not yet met the 25-year tenure requirement to be considered for a DESA. This award was introduced in 2011.[6]

African-American Eagle Scouts
[edit]
The Boy Scouts did not track the race of scouts who earned the rank of Eagle. For many years it was thought that Edgar Cunningham, who earned his rank in 1926 as a member of Troop 12 in Waterloo, Iowa in what was then Wapsipinicon Area Council, was the first black recipient of the Eagle rank.[360][361]
In February 2020, it was discovered that Harry Cooper of the Kansas City Council, became an Eagle Scout in September 1920.[362] In the Kansas City Council (now the Heart of America Council) newsletter dated 1920, Harry Cooper of Troop 92 was listed as a new Eagle Scout as of September. The newsletter lists him as the only African American Eagle Scout in Kansas City, one of only ten Eagle Scouts in Kansas City, Missouri at the time.[363][362]
In March 2020, further research showed that the Eagle Scout court of honor for Hamilton Bradley of the Rome Council, was held on December 19, 1919, in Rome, New York. This makes Bradley the earliest known black Eagle Scout.[364]
Dr. Frank "Tick" Coleman, who earned his Eagle in 1926 is one of the first four known African-American Eagle Scouts.[365]
Incorrectly regarded as an Eagle Scout
[edit]
These persons, while notable in themselves, are sometimes incorrectly listed as having earned the award:
Henry "Hank" Aaron; retired baseball player and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. He is a recipient of the Silver Buffalo Award. He is often thought to be an Eagle Scout because of an advertisement he did for the BSA.[366][367]
Walter Cronkite; anchorman, journalist and commentator.[368][369]
Henry Fonda; actor and Academy Award winner who was a Scout and Scoutmaster.[370] Incorrectly noted as an Eagle Scout by his daughter.[371]
Harrison Ford; Life Scout and actor who played Indiana Jones, a fictional Life Scout in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. This part was played by River Phoenix in the film, as a younger Indiana Jones.[372]
Bill Gates; Life Scout and co-founder of Microsoft.[373] He is sometimes confused with his father, William H. Gates Sr. who is a Distinguished Eagle Scout.[52] He is often thought to be an Eagle Scout because of an advertisement he did for the BSA.[368]

1868 — Happy birthday, W.E.B. Du Bois. William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, known as W.E.B. Du Bois, was born in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where he lived until leaving to attend college at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. Du Bois’ experiences in college opened his eyes to the severity of racial discrimination in the South. After graduating from Fisk, he returned north to attend Harvard University, where he earned a doctorate in 1895, becoming the first African American to do so.
1929 — Baseball catcher Elston Gene Howard is born in St. Louis. Howard led an active life as a child, but it wasn’t until his teenage years that he was taken seriously as an athlete. While playing baseball, Howard was approached by Frank Tetnus Edwards, a former Negro Leaguer and St. Louis Braves staff member. After persuading his mother to let him join the team, Howard played with the Braves over the summer. In 1965, Howard signed a $70,000 contract with the New York Yankees and became the highest-paid player in the history of baseball at the time.
1929 — Joe Louis knocks out Nathan Mann in three rounds to take the heavyweight boxing title.
1965 — Constance Baker Motley is elected Manhattan borough president. Motley was a civil rights lawyer who became involved with the movement after being turned away from a public beach. Motley began her studies at Fisk University, and went on to New York University before earning her law degree from Columbia Law School in 1946. In 1964, Motley became the first Black woman elected to the New York Senate. Motley broke barriers once more when she was elected the first female president of Manhattan borough the following year.
1979 — Frank E. Petersen Jr. is named the first Black general in the Marine Corps. Petersen was determined to serve his country despite racial discrimination. Petersen attended school in Topeka, Kansas, before attempting to join the U.S. Navy. In his first attempt, Petersen was asked to take the entrance exam over again because administrators believed he’d cheated. In 1950, two years after the desegregation of the armed forces, Petersen enlisted in the Navy. Two years later, Petersen, now a Marine, completed flight school and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Petersen also became the Marines’ first Black aviator. He served as commanding general for the Marine Corps Combat Development Command and retired in 1988 as the first Black three-star lieutenant general. Petersen died on Aug. 25, 2015, of lung cancer. He was 83.

It took years for the nation to recognize the heroic achievements of the Tuskegee Airmen, and it’s taken even longer to know of the breakthrough made by Frank E. Petersen Jr. With Petersen joining the ancestors Aug. 25, 2015 at age 83, there were a number of obituaries in the mainstream press.

If Petersen’s memoir is available, it is certainly the first and most reliable about his event-filled life and legacy. It is unfortunate that two highly recommended books on Blacks in the military have no mention of Petersen, and when they do, his name is spelled incorrectly.
DISCUSSION
Petersen’s accomplishments cannot be mentioned without discussing Jesse Brown, as we do above, or Chappie James, another decorated pilot.
PLACE IN CONTEXT
Two wars figure prominently in Petersen’s life—the conflicts in Korean and Vietnam—and he participated in both. Born in Topeka and living until the 21st century provided him with a panoramic perspective on civil rights.
Even for a Black man who maxed the test, there remained the inevitable hurdle of racism that relegated him to the Navy’s galley. Petersen realized that the military was no refuge from the country’s pervasive discrimination.
Born Frank Emmanuel Petersen Jr. March 2, 1932, in Topeka, Kan., the focus of Brown v. the Board of Education, he traced his ancestry, through his father, to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He grew up watching his father repair radios and dreamt about flying the B-29 bombers that took off at a nearby airbase during World War II.
After successfully passing the Navy’s exam with flying colors, he was made a seaman apprentice. A year later, he enrolled in the Naval Aviation Cadet Program. He was partly motivated to enter the academy when he learned that Jesse Brown, the Navy’s first Black aviator, had been shot down during the Korean War. (Brown was 24 when his plane was shot down while providing air cover for ground troops on Dec. 4, 1950.)
Petersen was not only inspired by Brown’s heroism, he was surprised to learn that African-Americans were even allowed in the Navy and Marine Corps, although it was widely reported that President Harry Truman had ordered the desegregation of the armed forces in 1948. During the completion of his training at a base in Pensacola, Fla., he was introduced to Jim Crow and Southern inhospitality—something he experienced each time he ventured away from the base and even sometimes on the base.
Like many Black Americans, Petersen, though in uniform, either obeyed the limitations imposed by the laws of segregation—riding on the back of the bus, drinking from racially marked water fountains, not being allowed even to sit with your fellow white cadets in movie theaters—or face the consequences when they were challenged. Looming before him was the choice of fighting the restrictions and jeopardizing his ambitions in the military or going along to get along, which became the path of least resistance.
“I knew that I couldn’t win if I were to tackle [the unjust laws] as opposed to getting my wings,” he told a reporter.
There was also the racism within the service to endure. He was often the victim of unfair grading policies that minimized his flying performances, but he succeeded anyway, thanks in part to the other white candidates who vouched for him.
He was commissioned a second lieutenant upon completion of flight training and later flew 64 combat missions in Korea in 1953, earning a number of decorations, none more prestigious than the Distinguished Flying Cross.
During a tour of duty in Vietnam, Petersen commanded a tactical air squadron and participated in more than 250 missions. On one of those missions, his plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire and he was forced to eject. He received a Purple Heart for the wounds incurred from the landing. Overall, he accumulated more than 5,000 hours in fighter and attack planes.
In 1967, while in the Marines, Petersen received a bachelor’s degree. In 1973, he obtained a master’s degree in international affairs, both degrees coming from George Washington University. He graduated from the National War College in 1973.
The diplomas and certificates were important when he sought administrative jobs within the military ranks. Recruiting other Blacks into the Marines was among his first posts; he was also an aggressive advocate for the promotion of more Black officers. Highlighting his ascent was the appointment to a command post at Marine Corps Air Station in Cherry Point, N.C. In 1979, he was promoted to brigadier general and was named “Man of the Year” by the NAACP.
Another promotion in 1986 pushed him up a notch to lieutenant general. The next two years were eventful, as he became a commanding general of the Combat Development Command in Quantico, Va. From this esteemed position, he oversaw more than 7,000 military personnel and nearly 6,000 civilians. His appointment was the source of numerous media reports as well as for his role as convening authority during two highly publicized trials. In one trial, in 1987, Sgt. Clayton Lonetree was convicted of passing secrets to Soviet agents.
“In the second matter,” the Washington Post reported, “Gen. Petersen cited new, exculpatory evidence in his decision to convene a second court-martial of Lindsey Scott, a Black Marine corporal who had been convicted by a military court in 1983 of having raped and attempting to murder a white woman. The highest military court overturned the initial decision, citing an inadequate defense, and Scott was acquitted in 1988.”
The emotional stress from the trials was very difficult, Petersen told the Post, and he later retired from active duty, receiving the Distinguished Service Medal for his exceptional military career. Petersen spent many years in charge of corporate aviation for DuPont, no longer having to wear a uniform that he hoped would shield him from racial slights and indignities, which it didn’t.
Petersen was married three times—Eleanor Burton, Alicia Downes and Jonnie Robinson. In 2014, he remarried Downes.
A plethora of obituaries have renewed interest in Petersen’s remarkable life, something he had done most authoritatively in his memoir, “Into the Tiger’s Jaw,” with J. Alfred Phelps.

Topeka native and military trailblazer Frank E. Petersen Jr. often used the phrase "Into the Tiger's Jaw" to convey courage and spirit in confronting danger and social injustice.
That was the title of Petersen's autobiography, published in 1998.
Now "Into the Tiger's Jaw" is the motto of the guided missile cruiser that bears his name.
Commissioning ceremonies will be at 9 a.m. Saturday in Charleston, S.C., for the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., a guided missile destroyer that will be part of the Pacific Fleet.
A free live stream broadcast of the commissioning will be available for viewing at bit.ly/TopPetersen.
The ship's 32 officers and 297 enlisted personnel are led by Commander Daniel Hancock.
Frank E. Petersen Jr. was first Black aviator, Black general in Marines
The vessel is named after Petersen, who rose to the rank of lieutenant general and became the first Black aviator and the first Black general in Marine Corps history.
Petersen also served combat tours in 1953 in Korea and in 1968 in Vietnam. He flew more than 350 combat missions and 4,000 military aircraft hours during those wars.
Peterson was born in 1932 in Topeka. He graduated in 1949 from Topeka High School, enlisted in 1950 in the Navy, then left in 1952 to accept a commission as a second lieutenant and become a pilot in the Marine Corps.
While training in Florida, Petersen was ejected from a public bus for refusing to sit in the back, according to an obituary published in the New York Times.

In Hawaii, the obituary said, a landlord refused to rent a house to Petersen and his wife, then admitted to a subsequent prospect that he did so because they were Black.
Peterson retired in 1988 from the Marines as a three-star general and the senior aviator on active duty in the U.S. military.
President Obama put native Topekan Frank E. Petersen on Naval Academy board in 2010
President Barack Obama appointed him in 2010 to the Board of Visitors to the U.S. Naval Academy, which monitors morale, instruction and other matters.
Petersen died at age 83 in 2015 at his home in Maryland.
The Navy announced in 2016 that Petersen would be the namesake of an Arleigh-Burke Class destroyer, for which construction had begun that year at Pascagoula, Miss.

The ship's keel was laid in 2017. It was launched in 2018 and christened later that year.
The U.S. government last November accepted delivery of the ship.

Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121) departed from HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division on Friday. Frank E. Petersen Jr. will be commissioned next month in Charleston, South Carolina, before sailing to its homeport at Hawaii’s Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
“I’m very grateful for the resilient and dedicated shipbuilders on our team, each is world class,” said Kari Wilkinson, president of the Ingalls Shipbuilding.
"Watching Frank E. Petersen Jr. sail away demonstrates what this shipyard is capable of, even in the face of a pandemic,” said Donny Dorsey, Ingalls vice president of operations and previously DDG 121 ship program manager. “The Ingalls Shipbuilding team, and all those that contribute to the mission, are the best. Despite challenges, the hard work of the entire shipbuilding team enable this very proud day — watching the Navy sail this ship and join the fleet to support the defense of our nation.”
Frank E. Petersen Jr. is the 33rd destroyer Ingalls has built for the U.S. Navy, with five more currently under construction at Ingalls, including Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123), Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), Ted Stevens (DDG 128), Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129) and George M. Neal (DDG 131). Ingalls is working with the Navy to keep the destroyer line strong as the Navy transitions to the next generation of guided missile destroyers.
Frank E. Petersen Jr. is named to honor the U.S. Marine Corps’ first African American aviator and general officer. After entering the Naval Aviation Cadet Program in 1950, Petersen went on to fly more than 350 combat missions during the Korean and Vietnam wars.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are highly capable, multi-mission ships and can conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection, all in support of the United States military strategy. Guided missile destroyers are capable of simultaneously fighting air, surface and subsurface battles. The ship contains myriad offensive and defensive weapons designed to support maritime defense needs well into the 21st century.

Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro attended the ceremony. He began by thanking the Petersen family for their lifetime of service to the nation. “All of us join you in honoring Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr.” Del Toro also recognized the plankowners bringing the ship to life. “As Secretary of the Navy I contribute all that I can to make sure that you and your families are equipped for the many challenges that lie ahead. That starts with making sure that you have the very best ship that our nation has to offer.”
The principal speaker was The Honorable Carlos Campbell, Naval aviator and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development, who served alongside Petersen and relayed stories exemplifying the general’s strength and dedication. Recalling Petersen’s ethic, Campbell said “He received a frag wound, he was treated in the field, and returned to combat.”
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday also attended the ceremony. “It’s fitting that a name synonymous with service and sacrifice be emblazoned on the steel of this American warship,” said Gilday. “Sailors aboard this mighty warship will deploy wherever, whenever needed, with General Petersen’s fighting spirit and tenacity, for generations to come.”
Gen. David Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps, also attended the ceremony. “General Petersen was a man of many firsts," said Berger. “There’s a saying that ships take on the characteristics of their namesakes, and if that’s true, then God help any adversary to ever confronts the Frank E. Petersen, Jr.”
Ms. Gayle Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughter, expressed thanks on behalf of her family and made a special recognition. “We would not be having this ceremony today if not for a gentleman named Robert Adams. When my dad was shot down in Vietnam he was rescued by Robert Adams.” Gayle continued, “I would like to thank all who had a hand in building this ship, from stem to stern.”
Guest speakers for the event included The Honorable Nancy Mace, U.S Rep. from South Carolina’s 1st District; The Honorable John Tecklenberg, Mayor of Charleston, South Carolina; Mr. George Nungesser, Vice President of Program Management, Ingalls Shipbuilding.
The ship’s sponsors are Mrs. D’Arcy Ann Neller, wife of former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert “Bob” Neller, USMC (Ret.), and the late Dr. Alicia J. Petersen, Lt. Gen. Petersen’s wife at the time of his passing in 2015. Dr. Petersen passed away in September 2021. Both sponsors participated in the keel laying, mast stepping, and christening ceremonies.
Mrs. Neller thanked the families. “Our service members can’t do what they do without you and your love and support. To the officers and crew. A ship without a crew is like a body without blood. You will all make this ship come alive.” She continued. “The namesake of this ship was a warrior. He always went to the sound of the guns; he was always prepared and smart about the risks he took. You all need to be the same. Always be prepared. Work hard and when the time comes, you will be ready to go into the jaw of the tiger.”
During the ceremony, USS Frank E. Petersen’s commanding officer Cmdr. Daniel Hancock, reported the ship ready. Assisted by Lt. Gen. Petersen’s daughters, Gayle Petersen, Dana Petersen Moore, Lindsay Pulliam, and Monique Petersen, Mrs. Neller gave the traditional order to “Man our ship and bring her to life!”
“Our incredible crew takes a great deal of pride in their work. I can find no better warrior namesake than General Frank E. Petersen Jr. None of us who know his story have ever forgotten that we are the heirs of that powerful legacy, and like the General, we have committed ourselves to owning the fight and carrying his torch proudly forward,” said Hancock. “I wish to express gratitude and pride. It is my greatest professional honor to serve with each of my crew. I am proud beyond measure. "
Lt. Gen. Petersen continues a family legacy of service begun by his great grandfather. Private Archibald (Archie) Charles McKinney enlisted in 1863 and served in the Mass 55th Company E during the Civil War. McKinney’s trip home included traveling aboard a steamship, disembarking at the Port of Charleston.
The future USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. honors Lt. Gen. Frank E. Petersen, Jr. (USMC Ret.). Petersen was the first black USMC aviator and the first black Marine to become a three-star general. Petersen served two combat tours, Korea in 1953 and Vietnam in 1968. He flew more than 350 combat missions and had over 4,000 hours in various fighter and attack aircraft. Petersen passed away in Aug. 2015 at the age of 83.
Retiring in 1988 after 38 years of service, Petersen’s awards included the Defense Superior Service Medal; Legion of Merit with Combat "V”; Distinguished Flying Cross; Purple Heart; Meritorious Service Medal; Air Medal; Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V;" and the Air Force Commendation Medal.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet. These highly capable, multi-mission ships conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence to national security providing a wide range of warfighting capabilities in multi-threat air, surface and subsurface.
