Hi Cuervo,
No, I think you may be mistaken. I have researched very carefully and read many historical books on the Greek Royal Family.
The modern day monarchy stems from a prince of Denmark, William the son of Christan IX...he was chosen by the greeks to become their new king in 1863 as George I at age 17. There is also Russian due to the fact George I's wife was Grand Duchess Olga of Russia. Going through the Greek Royal Family line...they married into the Prussian Royal Family with Princess Sophie - Sister of Kaiser Wilhelm II, marrying George's son Constantine I. Ex King Constantine is II because they follow the modern day Greek monarchy starting from 1863.
Heck, the family name of the Greek Royal Family is:
The name is Oldenburg and the branch is Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. In 1862 King Otto of the House of Wittelsbach was deposed. In 1863 Prince Vilhelm of Denmark, second son of King Christian IX was appointed King of the Hellenes.
I interviewed Prince Pavlos in New York and he himself confirmed there is not a drop of Greek blood in the Royal family with the exception of Princess Alexandra, born to Aspasia Manos and King Alexander of Greece. Aspasia was born daughter of Colonel Petros Manos of Greece.
Please check your facts. I invite debate and friendly discussions and encourge them, but my statements from before are all 100% factual. Look them up on the internet or read them in books.
