    With the death of Constantine II, the last King of the Hellenes, on 10 January 2023, here is a BBC-styled royal death tribute to the former Greek King with the national anthem of Greece, "Hymn to Liberty", featuring two his portraits: one during his reign, and the other during his elderly years.
    I no longer included a news report of his death for it is hard to find one knowing that I don't speak nor understand Greek.

    When I met him as an Englishman, I was the only one in the room who bowed to him and addressed him as "Your Majesty".

    RIP, good man, one of my favorite monarchs. Even tho he did not rule anymore, to me he is on the same rank and level as the late Queen Elizabeth II. Once a king always a king, a military junta cannot take that from him.

      I take that concept as true. When I met him once, I bowed and addressed him as "Your Majesty", I was the only one in the area who did (and i'm British too)

    Historical Fact: Constantine II was an able sportsman. In 1958, King Paul gave his son a Lightning class sailing boat for Christmas. Subsequently, Crown Prince Constantine spent most of his free time training with the boat on the Saronic Gulf. After a few months, the Greek Navy gave the prince a Dragon class sailing boat, with which he decided to participate in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. At the opening of the Games in Rome, he was the flag bearer for the Greek team. 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. Constantine was the helmsman of the boat "Nireus" and the other members of the team were Odysseus Eskitzoglou and Georgios Zaimis.

      Greek Translation - Ιστορικό γεγονός: Ο Κωνσταντίνος Β' ήταν ικανός αθλητής. Το 1958, ο βασιλιάς Παύλος έδωσε στον γιο του ένα ιστιοπλοϊκό σκάφος κλάσης Lightning για τα Χριστούγεννα. Στη συνέχεια, ο διάδοχος Κωνσταντίνος περνούσε τον περισσότερο ελεύθερο χρόνο του προπονούμενος με το σκάφος στον Σαρωνικό. Μετά από λίγους μήνες, το Ελληνικό Ναυτικό έδωσε στον πρίγκιπα ένα ιστιοπλοϊκό σκάφος κλάσης Dragon, με το οποίο αποφάσισε να συμμετάσχει στους Θερινούς Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες του 1960 στη Ρώμη. Στην έναρξη των Αγώνων της Ρώμης ήταν ο σημαιοφόρος της ελληνικής ομάδας. Κέρδισε ένα χρυσό Ολυμπιακό μετάλλιο στην Ιστιοπλοΐα (κατηγορία Dragon), το οποίο ήταν το πρώτο ελληνικό χρυσό μετάλλιο στην ιστιοπλοΐα μετά τους Θερινούς Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες της Στοκχόλμης 1912. Ο Κωνσταντίνος ήταν ο τιμονιέρης του σκάφους «Νηρεύς» και τα άλλα μέλη της ομάδας ήταν ο Οδυσσέας Εσκιτζόγλου και ο Γεώργιος Ζαΐμης.

      Yes, Greece is currently a republic. It became a republic after when King Constantine and his family were exiled during a military coup which was short-lived. After that, Greece held a referendum wherein the majority chose to be a republic and King Constantine was out of power. But his royal title as King remained even though he no longer lead Greece. He's still respected as their former head of state and King despite having political opposition, most especially from the left.

      Our country abolished the Monarchy after a long period of political instability.
      Changes, a military junta, communists… a lot of ups and downs.
      The point is that all of them suddenly turned against our King.
      The Monarchy ended, they deprived all them members of the Royal Family of the Right of Hellenic nationality…
      Even today our State refuses the Hellenic nationality and passports to the members of the Royal Family…🤬
      No words to describe our shame…
      Even though we are a Republic today the King doesn’t stop being a King.
      He just lost his role in the political system of our country.
      He was still a King to the day he passed away. Anna-Maria is still our Queen and the rest of the titles do not change as well!
