Constantine II, the former King of Greece died on the 10th of January, 2023 at the age of 82. He was the 6th and last king of the Hellens in the modern era. At 20 he won an Olympic gold medal in sailing. When he inherited the throne at 23 and wed beautiful Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, hopes were high. But in just 3 years he was ousted by a military coup. He attempted a bungled counter-coup but was forced to flee with his wife and young children. He spent the next 56 years socializing with the crowned heads of Europe, most of whom were his close relatives, and fighting with the Greek government over his lost property. Let’s meet the ex king of Greece, Constantine II. But first, a quick jaunt through Greek history.
