Tell us about the relationship between the last king of Greece and Prince Philip

There is no royal family left in Greece.

The Kingdom of Greece (Greek: was established in 1832 at the Council of London under the leadership of Britain, France, and Russia after Greece broke away from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, with the aim of replacing the original First Greek Republic.

It was recognized in the subsequent Treaty of Constantinople. In 1924, the monarchy was abolished and replaced by a second republic; It was subsequently restored in 1935. It was not until 1974 that the Kingdom of Greece officially came to an end with the fall of the military and the establishment of the Third Greek Republic.

Although the Greek royal family was overthrown in 1973, the entire family is still active in the aristocratic circle and has close contacts with royal families and celebrities from various countries.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was born on the island of Corfu and dedicated many years to his country. My deepest condolences to Queen Elizabeth II, the British royal family and the British people. This is a text sent by Caterina Saklaropoulo of the Hellenic Republic on the afternoon of April 9 local time.

Earlier in the day, Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying: "It is with great sadness that the Queen announces the death of her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at Windsor Castle." ”

The island of Corfu that Saklaropoulo called when he mourned the British, was commonly known to the Greeks as Corfu, which is spelled ?This is part of the Ionian Islands, located along the west coast of Greece. In ancient Greece, Corfu was once one of the three major naval powers of Greece after Athens and Corinth, and its participation in the Battle of Sibota was the catalyst for the Peloponnesian War in ancient Greece.

The Peloponnesian War brought Greece back to the classical era with the victory of Sparta.

Prince Philip was born on the island of Corfu on June 10, 1921, at a time when the Greek army was losing ground during the Second Greco-Turkish War. The Turkish army, led by its national leader Kemal, drove the Greek army occupying Smyrna out of the country. At this time, the Greek king Constantine I was forced to abdicate and go into exile.

Greece formed a revolutionary army**. Failing to capture Constantine I, the Greek army captured his younger brother, Prince Andreas's family, including Prince Andreas' son, Prince Philip.

Theoretically, Prince Philip could inherit the thrones of Greece and Denmark. From Prince Philip's body, it can be seen that there are thousands of knots in European royal families.

Greek mourning is worth playing.

Prince Philip's father, Prince Andreas, and Constantine I, who was in exile, were both sons of the old Greek king George I. George I had eight children – three daughters and five sons. Among them, Constantine I was the eldest son of George I.

He succeeded to the Greek throne without any problems. Constantine I himself had three sons and two daughters. At least his three sons are in line of succession to the throne, ahead of their uncle Prince Andreas.

Prince Andreas was the fourth brother of Constantine I, in other words, he was second to the family of the three older brothers in terms of succession. Only when there is no successor in the first three rooms of the family, can it be his turn, and it may be the turn of his son Prince Philip. In other words, the possibility of Prince Philip succeeding to the Greek throne is only theoretical, not remote.

Let's look at the succession of the throne and political changes in Greece since the succession of Constantine I. Constantine I, who had been sent to Germany by George I to study for many years, married Princess Sophie, the daughter of Frederick III, Emperor of the German Empire and King of Prussia, and thus advocated the neutrality of Greece at the beginning of the First World War. However, most of the political forces in Greece wanted to join the Entente camp led by Britain and France, and finally put it into practice.

With the defeat of Germany, the pro-German king Constantine I of the victorious Greece was forced to abdicate in favor of his son.

Prince Philip was the cousin of Constantine II.

Greece is now a republic, ** is the head of state, the prime minister is the head of state, and there is no king anymore.

Greece also has a royal family, although the Greek royal family was overthrown in 1973, the whole family is still active in the aristocratic circle, and has close contacts with royal families and celebrities from various countries.

The Greek royal family changed from a monarchy to a republic in a 1974 referendum, and the deposed Greek king Constantine II has been in exile ever since, and the Greek royal family has been relatively low-key among European royal families.

Greece also has a royal family, which was transformed from a monarchy into a republic in a 1974 referendum, and the deposed Greek King Constantine II has been in exile ever since, and the Greek royal family is relatively low-key among European royal families. On August 25, 2010, the 40-year-old Greek prince Nicholas and his American fiancée Tatiana Bratnik were married on the Greek island of Speza, known as the "Enchanted Island". Greece now has a republican system, with ** being the head of state.

Greece has always been pope, and now there is rice.

Republic, the royal family in exile.

The Greek monarchy ended even later, in 1973, when the Greek monarchy came to an end and entered the republican system. The monarchy in Greece, like France, is tossed back and forth. However, compared to France, Greece tossed less often, and Greece only tossed back and forth twice.

In 1924, Greece abolished the monarchy and established a republic. However, in 1935, the military staged a coup d'état, and in a referendum they chose the monarchy. However, at this time, the Greek royal family was controlled by the military **.

During World War II, Greece was occupied by Germany, but the monarchy returned after the war, and the Greek monarchy continued. However, in 1973, under the leadership of the military **, Greece once again attacked the referendum. This time Greece decided to abandon the monarchy and from then on it became a republic.

In fact, it can be seen from here that after the Greek royal family was overthrown for the first time, it almost did not hold power, and the power was always controlled by the military **.

It can be seen that the descendants of the Greek royal family still exist, but they are like ordinary people.
