An announcement from the Greek Royal Family about their citizenship

 

@Greek Royal Family

"We are moved that after thirty years we have Greek citizenship again. The deprivation of our citizenship, by the 1994 law, made us stateless with all that this entails in terms of individual rights but also emotional suffering." 

Our father and our family fully respected the result of the 1974 referendum. However, the provision of the 1994 law on the issue of citizenship, a product of the political situation at the time, did not suit a former head of the Greek state and an institution that faithfully served the country. Our father's death closed a circle.

A prerequisite for returning our citizenship was to declare a surname, and we chose the one that our deceased uncle, Michael De Grece, had chosen. It is the one most familiar to us since our family never had a surname.

"In the years when we were deprived of our citizenship, we lived with the duty and honor of serving our homeland with faith and devotion from wherever we were, with all our strength. The same principles will continue to determine the course of our family."
