76i7v o87 ov Yes they do but they are in exile. This exile is not the usual banishment but more of a self exile due to the political climate of the late 1960's. Constantine II is the theoretical King of Greece. I recall seeing him in Athen when I was living there. His guards wore that strange uniform of white tights and tunic with the red pom poms on the 'shoe's'. These guards were a;; really BIG GUYs and not good to upset. Anyhow, the Greek Royal house has been very difficult to trace. This is probably mainly due to the fact that Greece was actually made up of a number of seperate States, each with it's own King. If you watch the movie Try, the basic storyline of Agamemnon is more or less right. He brought Greece together under one Chief of the Kings, but after his death, all the original Kings, their descendants asnd the local milkman wanted to be either Chief King or have their orinal lands back with extras. There were many claims (as there have been with other monarchies in other countries) many as legitimate as the next. At one time in the 20th century, a descendant of Greek Kings was also a British noble as he was asked to become King of Greece. As a matter of interest, Prince Phillip who is the Duke of Edinburgh and married to Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, is Greek and related to the Greek Royal House. Today Constantine II lives in England somewhere. The Royals House of the world (to my knowledge) are in U.K. (France self exile), Holland, Italy (self exile) Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Russia (relocated but questionable), Greece (self exile), Ethiopia, Fiji, Japan, Thailand and there are probably a few others particularly on some of the island nations like Fiji. However I believe that only U.K. Thailand, Fiji and Japan have successful politically active Monarchs with some Constitutional Powers.
Greece is a republic and has no King in it's constitution BUT the last crowned King of Greece HM King Constantine lives in exile in London
No. It is a parliamentary Republic. It has a president and a prime minister.
Fortunately,we don't have a royal family...
No, although the former exiled King did return to become a member of Parliament and ran for president.
