Quote: Lets not forget that the Greeks had a Royal Family as did the Italians.
Prince Phillip was Greek.
Quote:
The last monarch of Greece was Constantine II, who is still alive today and currently resides in Greece (after more than 4 decades in exile). His line will continue through his son Pavlos. He is also a member of the House of Glücksburg and members of that royal house continue to rule Denmark and Norway. In addition, members of the Greek royal family have married into other royal families, such as Constantine's sister Queen Sofía (married to Juan Carlos of Spain) and his first cousin once removed Prince Philip (married to Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom).
Gnads a free tip : Don't attempt to teach me about my cultural/political history using quick rough googled excerpts like that (which incidentally you've yet to work out DON'T support YOUR case). It's also probably a good idea for you to know that I also studied both Modern and Ancient Greek history at Uni.
Why am I offering you this free tip? I honestly don't enjoy tearing into posters I usually respect.
I will say this much though : your knowledge of European history is pretty much non existent.
Nevertheless...if you re read your own link and perhaps read a bit more into the "Greek" Monarchy....you will find clues which might help you understand who the last GREEK King actually was. Hint : Think Ancient Greece.
Cheers
Had nothing to do with teaching you anything...
maybe just a pointed reminder ... that all the European Royals are related.
But you want to go back to Codrus?
Dear God you're still sitting there struggling to understand GREEK history.
And you've now googled some dribble about European ie German/English styled Greek kings planted by foreign controlling empires. I'm seriously not interested. Nor am I impressed. If anything I'm quite perplexed at your level of ignorance.
Edit : Irrespective of your helpless inability to grasp a few simple historical facts pertaining to Greece as a monarchy ... I may well still be able to help you understand why Greece became a Republic.
I'll cut you some slack and give you the bottom line : It had enough of being controlled by foreign EUROPEAN ROYAL hypocrites pretending to be Greek in self STYLED title only. Not 1 of them had an ounce of Greek blood in them. Not one!
Out of curiosity why did you mention Codrus?
Well how far back are you talking?
Codrus was born 1091BC
the last semi mythical King of Greece.
How is he a German (european royal)?
I'm not professing any expertise on ancient Greece ... let alone that that has bought out your air of superiority in such matters.
I'm not worried if your not interested, or perplexed or not impressed. And you're not cutting me any slack - I don't need it.
I'm not trying to make any sort of impression so I'd appreciate you hopping down off your high Trojan horse.
I'll leave you to ponder what my next response may be if you keep it up.
And......
