The ex royal family of Greece seems to remain famous and 'relevant' because of the close family link to Prince Philip. They dont seem popular in Greece.

The Greek royal family has close ties with all the other royal families and are always invited and always respond to their invitations. It is true that they are closely related to Prince Philip but I highly doubt that this is the reason the other royals include them in all their celebrations.
In Greece they are either loved or despised among people of a certain age. The younger ones only care about what they read in the glossies about them but ignore the bigger picture and their history.
I cannot figure out what the Hohenzollerns have to do with the possibilities or lack of a restoration of the Greek Royal family

But why would a foreign last name prevent them from holding a political office? It is only the citizenship that stops them from going into politics. As long as they become Greek citizen they can get involved into politics, no matter if their last name is German , Greek, Danish, Russian or Chinese
they're not, i can guarantee this to you. they still like to challenge the public opinion, no matter how many of us don't care about a restoration. around 90-95%, that's a great majority. as a matter of fact, i even find Constantine's attitude immoral and not only challenging, if i'm allowed an honest opinion. in his position, i would have the morality and the courage to quit all efforts towards a restoration and i would just sit back home and live my life however i wanted. the percentage of people who support him is between 5-10%, so low that i can't imagine how i would feel, if the 95% of the people of the country i want to reign don't even consider i'm greek. it must be hard. greets!

This statement is partly correct. The concept of homeland was introduced everywhere in Europe during the early 19th century - it didn't exist before - and has nothing to do with any specific monarchy. It so happened that at the time, post-revolution, newly-formed Greece became shortly a monarchy. For historic reasons, the only nation-building dynasties in the Balkans were, the Petrovic in Montenegro, and the Karadjordje in Serbia.I agree with Nikolopoulus.The concept of homeland was introduced in Greece by the monarchy.

Dear friend, the concept of homeland was created by the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the war of 100 years, and created the first states in Europe, Greece became a state in the nineteenth century, with its independence, the KIngs were who brought the concept to Greece. They and only they indoctrinated to the Greek society in this concept. first in the militaries and then in the people
It might be a miracle or fascinating for once to see a Greek royal marry another Greek. I cannot remember when this last happened. But it certainly would assist to have them marry into their own community instead of outside so systematically and methodically.

This is also incorrect. For instance, Spyridon Trikoupis was minister extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the Court of Saint James well before the arrival of King George I to Greece.I think that Filipos is speaking that Greece started to have Embassies in others countries with the King George.
