Greece has an exiled king, Constantine. He was deposed in the military junta of 1967. The Greek royal family is not Greek, they are of Bavarian and Danish descent. Prince Charles of England is related to them. If the Greek monarchy is restored, I would rather it be someone who is of Greek blood. Perhaps the last Byzantine emperor (Constantine XI) has a descendant that is still alive. The Russian royal house is related to him also.

Shh! Don\'t tell anyone! The turks will get me!

(okay, I\'m not DIRECTLY descended from Constantine...we\'re from an illegitimate daughter from Theodore, the last Despot of the Morea and Constantine\'s Brother. The other irony here is that I\'m the first Orthodox member of my family for a couple hundred years.)
