Prince Pavlos addressed every topic directly, speaking as head of the Greek Royal House following his father's death. He said, "I was saddened that I didn't serve in the Greek Army," and that "I know that one day my sons might be able to".
At one point in the interview, he was asked if he believed democracy would have been maintained in his country had his father reacted differently to the Colonels' Coup. "That's a question that has one answer for me, and it's 'yes'". Regarding the exiles the Greek Royal Family has endured throughout its history at different times, he recounted what King Constantine told him. “When I asked my father to return to Greece, he told me to be patient. When I asked him what his father had told him during the 14 years they were away from Greece and when they would return, he said ‘patience.’ Until 1974, when we didn’t know what would happen, we had the feeling that the Junta [the military that seized power] would fall and we would return to our country. What did my parents do? They brought us a tutor who taught us Greek as if we were in Greece so that we would be ready for the return".
Although he has an older sister, Princess Alexia, the Duke of Sparta became heir to the throne upon his birth on March 20, 1967, though he maintains that his father “didn’t raise me as his successor to become King. He raised me with the principles he believed we should have: love for our homeland, being faithful to our traditions".
Regarding his son Constantine, the future head of the Royal House, he has revealed new details about his interests. "He recently studied communications and would be interested in coming here and perhaps participating in projects. He wants to be a director and producer. He might also stay here for a semester to improve his language skills, which he already knows".
