I've seen at another forum saying that the present king had a few affairs before.

I would like to know more of the affairs, can someone please tell me about them?

I like Queen Anne-Marie very much, I think she is very beatiful and elegant and she looks very kind too. How come her husband still had affairs when she's such a gorgeous lady. It must have been very hard for her especially the family has been in exile.
 
Does anyone have any other info about this topic? Other then the Farah rumor I mean?
 
Sean, you're more then welcome to post the info. Unless an admin/mod have told you otherwise, it's fine :) Some members are overly sensitive, but, that shouldn't keep you from posting :)
 
Thanks, but no thanks. I've had my run-ins with devoutees before, and I'm well aware as to what they can be like :(

I've seen at another forum saying that the present ex-king had a few affairs before.  I would like to know more of the affairs, can someone please tell me about them?

But Poppy, its not like king Constantine is the only royal playing the field. I read on this MB that the Spanish king also considers himself to be a man of the ladies. How about the Prince of Wales ? I mean .... beyond first love, is it a case of finding intelligence and a talking partner ? For women, what happens when the feeling of love wears off ... how to does a woman handle it ?

It must have been very hard for her especially the family has been in exile.

The challenge of coping with a failed (or more ruthlessly put, "we don't need you" - you're obsolete) situation is quite stressing .. to say the least.
 
Actually, she is needed. She's one of the most beloved members of the Greek Royal family (looked upon favorably by the Greek people) plus she brought in money from her inheritance from her father. Plus, she's also the mother of his children. I do believe there is love there, but they've had to really work and she's had to make a lot of sacrifices.

Let's be realistic here:
- The truth is that officially, ex-Queen Anne-Marie is not needed.
- The truth is that officially, ex-Queen Anne-Marie was 'second fiddle' to her husband.

- The truth is that unofficially, ex-Queen Anne-Marie has coped better with the situation of having been deposed.
- The truth is that unofficially, ex-Queen Anne-Marie has (always had?) integrity.
- The truth is that unofficially, ex-Queen Anne-Marie has a job with the raising and mentoring of children (as all mothers do).

........

- The truth is that officially, ex-King Constantine is not needed.

- The truth is that unofficially, ex-King Constantine is not coping well with being deposed.
- The truth is that unofficially, ex-King Constantine is not coping well with the situation of being financially supported by his wife (few men do).
- The truth is that unofficially, ex-King Constantine is not coping well with the situation of not having a meaningful job to occupy his time with.

Can you really blame the King for not "dealing well" with having been deposed of and without a "job" to occupy his time? To be the King of the Hellenes was a "job" - duty - he was born to do. From the moment of his birth and each day of his upbringing, he was groomed for the task. No doubt he was often reminded that when he grew up and when the time was right he would be the King of his country. And then to suddenly (so to speak) to have that task, that life's work, be stripped from you, well, it would be quite a jarring experience. To me (comments now from the amateur psychologist! ;) ), it would be like your life is suddenly obsolete and certainly without much meaning since what you've been preparing for your whole life is no longer.

It's not like Constantine was a prime minister or a president and was booted out of office. In that situation, it is something you would work towards in your later life, to study the law and politics so that one day you could serve your country. It would be a conscious decision you make as an adult, or in the least, as a young adult. But in Constantine's case, he was aware of the situation from day one.

And maybe in King Constantine's eyes, once you have been the King of a country (no matter how short the time period), what other meaningful job is there?

Slightly off topic, this reminds me of a Barbara Walters interview with Queen Noor of Jordan in which Barbara asked the Queen if she would ever fall in love again (since King Hussein was deceased). And Queen Noor's response was something to the effect of how could you be in love with another person again when you've already loved the very best?

In King Constantine's case, how could another job ever be meaningful or as important as the country of your birth and the country in your blood?
 
To what extent could Greece be in Constantine's blood? I mean isn't he German-British-Nordic and not Mediterranean?
 
I think it depends on people. My grandmother's parents (both of them) came from Austria and Czechoslovika (I can't spell, but, you get the idea area wise, right?) but my grandmother considered herself 100 percent American. Dad said she had some interesting ideas on what to do with people who spoke badly about America!
So, I think in that regard, King Konstantinos is as Greek as my Grandmother was American. It's not the blood in your veins, but the blood of your soul.

Also, Constantine's father & grandfather were born in Greece. As were his siblings. He only speaks Greek and English & was (and continues to be) a member of the Greek Church. So he's Greek.

Um...they are definitely_not_descendant from the Palaeologus (correct spelling), as the Palaeologus line is extinct. If you claim otherwise, perhaps you would be good enough to trace the lineage for us.

Let His Majesty alone and away from those lies !!!! His Majesty is a Greek by birth and the blood that flows in His Royal Veins is 100% Greek !!!!! If there's a thing that I cannot stand , this is to see my King beign abused and/or blamed for some silly gossips !!! King Constantine II is trully devoted to Queen Anna Maria of Greece , and Their love is more powerfull than anyone can imagine !!! If there was someone to give courage and strength to King Constantine II during all those years in Exile , that person was Queen Anna Maria , and thanks to Her Majesty , Her husband had never gave up fighting to proove that He trully cares for Greece !!!!! For me (and for the other Greek Royalists ) , King Constantine II and Queen Anna Maria are somewhat like my second parents , and I trully love Them with all my heart and my spirit!!!! And ,yes , the Greek Royal Family are coming right down from the Paleologos Dynasty of the Byzantine Empire , and there are many historical documents as a proof of this fact ..... In an another post I will write out in few words about this . So please show respect to the King and His Royal Family , and stop blaming Him , because this is not right and it bothers His supporters .

And to those who say the prothesis "ex-" before King Constantine and Queen Anna Maria .... King Constantine II and His Royal Family never lost Their title , and as some of you may know , the good old quote says " Once a King, forever a King " and King Constantine was born as a King , so He IS the King and not "Ex- king" as some guys here believe ......


Hey, also , I want to ask if anyone likes the video game " Soul Calibur 2 " from Namco ( I have the version for Playstation 2 ) it is a great ROYAL game!!!!

Hey, also , I want to ask if anyone likes the video game " Soul Calibur 2 " from Namco ( I have the version for Playstation 2 ) it is a great ROYAL game!!!!

Fireweaver, I rest my case.
;)

To V:

Firstly, I agree that the King is Greek by nationality, but by nationality only. He is not of the Greek ethnicity. For you to say that the "blood in his veins is 100 Greek" is 100% inaccurate. There is little Slavic blood in his veins. His great-Grandmother, Olga Constantinova was a Russian Grand Duchess by birth, however, even she had an infinitesimal amount of Russian/Slavic blood. Thus Constantine is predominately germanic/Aryan. The only members of the _former_Greek royal family to have (known) 'Greek blood' were the fromer Queen Alexandra of Yugoslavia (duaghter of Alexander I & Aspasia Manos) and Alexandra and Olga, the daughters of former Prince Michael of Greece & Denmark and Marina Kerella.

Secondly, it is widely known that Constantine has had affairs & that Anne Marie went back to Denmark for a while because of this. You believe what you want, but there are first hand sources.

He isn't a god and is mortal. As such, he will make human mistakes. I've heard Constantine speak before and he didn't make much of an impression on me. In my view, he isn't too bright and made some huge mistakes when he was King. This is why he is sitting in London as opposed to Athens. Moreover, knowing his history (and being objective), IMO, Anne Marie is way too good for him. I've heard from first hand sources as to how he treats his wife and kids, but I won't get into that here. Of course, this doesn't necessarily make him a bad person and you can love and "worship" him all you want.

Thirdly, he may indeed care for Greece. Although from what I can tell, he cares about himself more. Hence the multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Greek government. IMO, he knows that he never going to be restored and thus was trying to get as money as possible in order to secure his finanical position and that of his heirs (excluding Pavlos). It certainly didn't win him any friends in Greece. Indeed, if he cared so much for Greece he would have given the full amount to the Greek people, or better yet, he would have never taken it from them (in the form of the lawsuit) to begin with. It would have been much more magnanimous if he would have said 'I want no compensation because I refuse to take one Euro from the Greek people, as they need it more than I.'

Fourthly, the "Paleologos" dynasty, as you call it, is extinct. There is no diret descent. Constnantine descends from the houses of Sleschwig-Holstien-Sonderburg-Glucksburg, Guelph, Hohenzollern, Romanov, Saxe-Altenburg etc., but not "Paleologos". However, admittedly, some of his more zealous, revisionist devotees claim descent in order to bolster his legitimacy.

If you claim direct descent (not to mention '100 percent Greek blood') please show a family tree going back to the Paleologos.

Fifthly, he isn't being 'blamed' per se (at least not here). He is being scrutinized because he is a public and historic figure. If you, or he, wish otherwise, perhaps he it would be prudent for him to govern himself more appropriately and/or he should stop courting publicity. People will not refrain from discrussion of his policies and his charachter just because it "bothers his supporters". After all, there are such things as free speech and historiographical debate, you know.

Sixthly, whether supporters like it or not, he_is_an ex-King. Greece is now a republic and has been for thirty years. The republic is the country's legitimate government and the president, voted in by the country's citizens, is the legitimate head of state. Besides, Constantine himself refers to himself as ex-King or former King.

who say the prothesis "ex-" before King Constantine and Queen Anna Maria

.... some of the very cold winters I have lived through have affected my logic control, so solly.

likes the video game "Soul Calibur 2" from Namco

even I get dizzy from the thin air on a high horse ... how about you step down, and then we can consider the matter while breaking bread ?
 
Let's stay on topic please and keep the tone pleasant. Thank you.

The only members of the _former_Greek royal family to have (known) 'Greek blood' were the fromer Queen Alexandra of Yugoslavia (daughter of Alexander I & Aspasia Manos) and Alexandra and Olga, the daughters of former Prince Michael of Greece & Denmark and Marina Kerella.
As I read this ... with a little bit of Slavic blood and then I come across German ... Constantine's Greek proportion is, what less than 25% ?

Secondly, it is widely known that Constantine has had affairs & that Anne Marie went back to Denmark for a while because of this. You believe what you want, but there are first hand sources.
Temporary successes to hid in .. from the sounds of it.

He isn't a god and is mortal. As such, he will make human mistakes. I've heard Constantine speak before and he didn't make much of an impression on me. In my view, he isn't too bright and made some huge mistakes when he was King.
I was wondering what the circumstances were to cause the Greek population to 'drive out their king'. Can you enlighten me on this?

This is why he is sitting in London as opposed to Athens. Moreover, knowing his history (and being objective), IMO, Anne Marie is way too good for him.
Seems to be a Danish trait ... integrity.

I've heard from first hand sources as to how he treats his wife and kids, but I won't get into that here. Of course, this doesn't necessarily make him a bad person and you can love and "worship" him all you want.
Amazing how "bulls in china shops" have all the charisma in the world.

Thirdly, he may indeed care for Greece. Although from what I can tell, he cares about himself more. Hence the multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Greek government.
I wonder how much is going to be left over, after the lawyer's fees and expenses are deducted ?

IMO, he knows that he never going to be restored and thus was trying to get as money as possible in order to secure his finanical position and that of his heirs (excluding Pavlos).
Am I missing something here ? Does Pavlos get an annuity from the State (of Greece) ?

It certainly didn't win him any friends in Greece. Indeed, if he cared so much for Greece he would have given the full amount to the Greek people, or better yet, he would have never taken it from them (in the form of the lawsuit) to begin with. It would have been much more magnanimous if he would have said 'I want no compensation because I refuse to take one Euro from the Greek people, as they need it more than I.'
The way I read this, he was successful in his lawsuit ? On the other hand, he in the first place should not have proceeded with the lawsuit .. now the 'door' (to re-thronement) is shut forever and a day.

Fourthly, the "Paleologos" dynasty, as you call it, is extinct. There is no direct descent. Constantine descends from the houses of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg, Guelph, Hohenzollern, Romanov, Saxe-Altenburg etc., but not "Paleologos". However, admittedly, some of his more zealous, revisionist devotees claim descent in order to bolster his legitimacy.

If you claim direct descent (not to mention '100 percent Greek blood') please show a family tree going back to the Paleologos.
what is it they say .. once its written down, its gospel !

Fifthly, he isn't being 'blamed' per se (at least not here). He is being scrutinized because he is a public and historic figure. If you, or he, wish otherwise, perhaps it would be prudent for him to govern himself more appropriately and/or he should stop courting publicity. People will not refrain from discrussion of his policies and his character just because it "bothers his supporters". After all, there are such things as free speech and historiographical debate, you know.
plus the fact that people like to chat / speculate / gossip about something. And clean news just doesn't cut it (dull). Good news is juicy news, scandal, who's been where they shouldn't. Better to 'knock' public profiles around, then whine about one's own life.

Sixthly, whether supporters like it or not, he_is_an ex-King. Greece is now a republic and has been for thirty years. The republic is the country's legitimate government and the president, voted in by the country's citizens, is the legitimate head of state. Besides, Constantine himself refers to himself as ex-King or former King.
"Constantine himself refers to himself as ex-King or former King" .. that is something !!!!
 
Christian,

the percentage of 'Greek blood' *or*,more correctly, Slavic blood in Constantine's veins is close to zero. His only 'Slavic blood' comes from Queen Olga. Of course, this doensn't make him any less Greek. Here is a brief geneology:

Catherine the Great (born a german Princess & married a German Prince) > Paul I m. Sophie of Wurrtemberg > Nicholas I m. Charlotte of Prussia > Grand Duke Nicholas Constantinovich m. Alexandra of Saxe-Altenburg > Olga Constantinova m. George I of Greece (elected King of Greece. Son of Christain of Sleschwing-Holstien & Louise of Hesse-Cassel. Christian was heir to the Danish King & became Christian IX) > Constantine I of Greece m. Sophie of Prussia (dau. of Frederick III & Empress Victoria, herself a daughter of Queen Vicotoria and Albert of Sax-Coburg-Gotha)> Paul I m. Frederika of Hanover (dau. of Ernst August of Hanover and Viktoria Louise of Prussia, dau. of the last Kaiser) > Constantine II.

So you see, no Greek blood. I'll respond to the rest of your post later, as I have to run right now.

Pavlos gets no annuity, but he married very well. His wife has a huge trust fund.

Sean.
 
hello everyone, this is my first message....!!!!!! i wonder if constantain is king whose country king is ????? i am greek and i live in athens and i know for sure that we (greeks) don't have a king or queen or princess at all... we gave him 4.000.000 euros after the court . when ever he comes in greece he says that he loves his country and that he want's to live here and that he is upset that he does't has greek nationalitty and of corce he accepts the fact that he is no more king and he does not claims the throne he want's to live as a common greek in greece. every greek has a first and a second name, he refuses to take a second name like us the commons...i wonder why???
as far for his affairs it is known here that he has a child out of marriage of corse because when the child was born he was already married to anne-marie.it is also known that he had an affair with a greek actress aliki vougiouklaki. when the dictatorship started the people were afraid and disappointed.he supported the dictatorship he did not stay by the side of his people.this is why he is not wellcome in greece.he was exciled because we considered him as a betrayer.it is also very offencive for us(greeks) to read or hear that marie chantal is princess of greece and she doesn't speaks greek at all..of corse her children don't speak greek. i wonder if maxima didn't speak dutch would the hollanders like her???
 
Hey , the King comes right from the Paleologos Dynasty , because the Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI Paleologos had a son named Prince John , after His Father's death and the Fall of the City , Prince John had left Constantinople to escape to safety , and after some adventures in France , He went to Denmark ( He had changed his surname as John Christian ,) and from what I do remember by the book I had read , Prince John Christian had married a Danish Princess and in the end became King of Denmark ....So this is why King Constantine is considered as a true descedant of the Paleologos Dynasty!!!! OK , I know that Queen Olga was from Russia , but Her husband , King Georgios I of Greece ( the King - Ethnomartyras : sacrificed His life for Liberty of Salonica , as some guys know here) was a true descedant of King John Christian so there's a lot of Byzantine Blood , this is why the Greeks joined Georgios as their King :)

Unfortunately I do not have the Genealogic Tree that shows that King Constantine II comes right out from the Byzantine Emperors , but I will ask my friend Andreas Megos to join this forum , he is the one that had the book that I had said before and he will surely proove that what I had told for the Byzantine Royals and King Constantine II is true!!!!!!!

To the other girl that said that in Greece " we do not have any royals we gave them money etc..." I have to say one thing : You are absolutely wrong !!! Greece still haves her King !!!! And now , around at 2004 it will be shown that Greeks do love their King , in His coming for the Olympic Games !!!!!!!!!!

Sean~ and Fireweaver I have heard your opinions , thank you but I cannot step back and watch my King being abused .... Sorry guys I have to protect Him , it is the only way for me ......

Julia please forgive me!!!!!!


And anyone that said that King Constantine's blood is 25% Greek , this is absolutely wrong , the King was born as a Greek and will never loose His nationality , if you are born Greek , you remain 100% Greek in your whole life , and there's nothing to change that , a paper cannot change that !!!!

PS. did anyone heard my question about Soul Calibur II ????????

You are going to have to provide me with a geoniological tree for me to back-up your assertion, because As far as history is concerned, the dynasty is extinct and John Christian is a mythical figure. Morever, Constantine's branch of the family was only distantly related to the Danish family. More specifically, King George I's father, King Christian IX, was the younger brother of the Duke of Sleschwig Holstien. He was a relative of the King of Denmark, as was his wife, Louise of Hesse Cassel. They were not members of the Danish royal family per se. Since the King had no heir, Christian was adopted as successor (his wife 'gave' her rights to him). Also, it wasn't the Greeks that picked Wilhelm of Denmark aka George I as King per se. Rather, it was the Great Powers.

Furthermore, I'm not sure how you can consider him a martyr (in the religious sense, anyway), because he was a lifelong member of the Lutheran Evangalical Church. As far as I know, that Church does not recognize martyrs. His wife, Olga Constantinova, however, wa a member of the Orthodox Church from birth, as were all of their children.


Sean~ and Fireweaver I have heard your opinions , thank you but I cannot step back and watch my King being abused .... Sorry guys I have to protect Him , it is the only way for me ......
He isn't being abused, V. We are just having a discussion.

Julia please forgive me!!!!!!

the other girl that said that in Greece " we do not have any royals we gave them money etc..." I have to say one thing : You are absolutely wrong !!! Greece still haves her King !!!! And now , around at 2004 it will be shown that Greeks do love their King , in His coming for the Olympic Games !!!!!!!!!!

She isn't wrong, because Greece is a republic. You are not seriously claiming otherwsie, are you? Even Constantine, on his 'official' webiste acknowledges that he is the former King.


And anyone that said that King Constantine's blood is 25% Greek , this is absolutely wrong

It is wrong, because he doesn't have any (known) so-called "Greek Blood". See my previous geneological tree.

[the King was born as a Greek and will never loose His nationality E], if you are born Greek , you remain 100% Greek in your whole life , and there's nothing to change that , a paper cannot change that !!!!

Although I agree with you to a certain extent, the fact is that he was deprived of his nationality by the *legitimate*, elected government of Greece. However, I concur that he was born in Greece and thus is Greek.



PS. did anyone heard my question about Soul Calibur
 
Sorry for double quoting!! I'm still kind of new at this :( Maybe one of the moderators can delete the top portion?

Thanks,

Sean.
