I really respect the King. He seems to want what is best for his country and doesn’t push for the citizens to take HIS side. I see some comments on how he should have done things differently during the coup. Even a couple of the talking heads criticized what he did. But I don’t think a person who has not been confronted with such a chaotic, life or death situation can really judge. It seemed like he wanted to avoid a civil war and it looks like he was successful in that. He doesn’t complain about his life or what could have been. He simply gets on with it. Good on him.

Even in exile they did strive for the good of the people of Greece. Any other immigrant to an adoptive country is regarded a citizen, after the required formalities. He is then given equal rights and privileges. King Constantine has no demands for the restoration of the monarchy. One should be charitable and give him his due.

So sad to see the whole estate in ruin. The deposed king seems to genuinely care about the people of Greece. It’s good to know that he is able to go back to visit Greece with with his family. It did not make any sense that the Greek government required the deposed King to apply for citizenship. There is something wrong with those people in power. I am glad to see that the King fought them and won the case. As he said, he was born Greek and will remain and die Greek. I admire his love for the Greek people. He avoided and did not cause civil war just to cling on his throne. I truly respect him for what he did. He save a lot of lives, not only his family but the lives of many of the Greek citizens by leaving the country in exile.

Money well spent. This documentary is excellent and I would love it if he could return to Greece, it would boost tourism even more. Princess Anne (Prince Phillip's mother) was exhumed from the King's grounds and she was finally laid to rest in Jerusalem.

And the government took that money from the emergency funds from the people apparently... That is why King Constantine put/ had a charity made up it seems that he didn't know that the money came from there straight away but when he finally found out about it he supposably wasn't happy about it.. and he supposably wanted to make sure the people were safe in an emergency situation to help them or at least that is what the documentary seemed to imply ...

Loved this video and very moved by the King and the history of his family. I started to learn about his royal family a few years ago by accident when reading books about the last Czar of Russia, Nicholas II. From there it went to Czar's mother, Empress Maria of Russia, also known as Princess Dagmar of Denmark before she married to Emperor Alexander III, father of Czar Nicholas II, as well as Grand Duchess Olga Constantinovna of Russia, a granddaughter of Czar Nicholas I and an aunt of Nicholas II, who married King George I of the Hellenes - a prince of Denmark before becoming the king and a brother of Empress Maria. Then, it went on to Queen Alexandra of England, wife of King Edward VII and Queen Victoria's daughter-in-law who is also a sister of Empress Maria and King George I. It goes on and on... even today there are well known members of royal houses in Europe who come from Greek Royal family, or have connections with Greek Royal family in blood, such as Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, whose father, Prince Andrew, is a brother of King Constantine I of Greece, grandfather of King Constantine II shown in the video. So Prince Philip is an uncle of Constantine II. Did I hear King Constantine II mentioned Prince Andrew burial place in the video? This video provided some valuable insights in Greek history that are very fascinating.

[@RaymondHng]

Constantine II, Elizabeth II, and Prince Phillip are all third cousins through Victoria of the UK, the "Grandmother of Europe".

It shown in a separate documentary. Now that Greece is a republic, the once Greek strong history has changed to bankruptcy. Despite the bailout from the european union. I think royalty actually is relevant to keep a country unite despite any circumstances. Just look around the world and see which country has better status and people with proud culture and history compared to a republic/socialist. Royalty unite the people while politicians run the day to day government. Another socialist failure

Greece is overrun with refugees

i can think at least 4 countries that have better status, usa france germany even russia! monarchy is an outdated form of government and the sooner it's consigned to history the better!

[@cgt3704]

@@richardlorych9868 the better?. Do you even know what you are saying. You cannot let go of history because it will repeat itself since you dont learn from it. And the monarchy can modernize itself. Why do you think there are still monarchies, if you think about it . Republics are not the solution. Plain and simple. I know this because i experienxe it firsthand

Very heart touching story and Greece should pay proper respect to its royals
