The Greek Times got a few things wrong when reporting the application for Greek citizenship. The applications were made by the late King Constantine's five children and Crown Prince Pavlos' five children. No applications were made by Princess Alexia's children.
On December 20, 2024, the Government Gazette of the Hellenic Republic recognized the Greek citizenship of Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos and Princess Maria-Olympia, Prince Konstantine-Alexios, Prince Achilleas Andreas, Prince Odysseus Kimon and Princes Aristide Stavros.
The Minister of the Interior's decision to recognize the citizenship was based on the 1994 law that expropriated the property and removed the citizenship of the former King and his family.
Their royal titles are not recognized or used in Greece. They will have a Greek surname that translates to de Grece.
The ten applications were filed one day before the Gazette published the recognition of their citizenship. This will be followed by inclusion in the civil register, allowing the ten former royal family members to obtain identity cards and passports.
This decision means the 1994 law that removed Greek citizenship from the former King Constantine II and his family is no longer applicable.
