The spelling of his name is not correct, it is Konstantin-Alexios. You should rename this page.
- I believe the correct Greek spelling is Konstantinos-Alexios.
It's a direct offence to the Greek Republic, this child to be adressed as second in the line of succession of the greek throne. Since 1974 monarchy is illegal in Greece and the members of the former greek throne-not originally Greek but Danish- are considered most of the times as personae non grata in modern greek democratic state. This little child, as all members of his family, cannot bear the greek citizenship. His grandfather had the greek citizenship more or less ex oficio, as head of the greek state. I ask for an immediate change in this wikipage and an analogous one in all wikipages reffering to the other members of this family, a family who failed to serve Greece-favouring coup d'etat-s and imposing prime ministers against the will of the people- and so cannot have any relationship with Greece.

Have you noticed that Line of succession to the Greek throne specifically mentions it is a former monarchy? Dimadick (talk) 15:03, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it's true that in other related articles greek monarchy is reffered as 'former' but in this article there is no such refererence. It seems that for the writer of this article, the Greece is stil a monarchy. To answer to why Greeks are so passionately against it, more than other Europeans is that monarchy was imposed to modern Greeks and 'Greek' monarchs weren't actually Greek, as for example the Habspburgs in Austria. They were Danish and is very important that they bore the greek citizenship only ex oficio. Although that greek constitutions since the times of PM Charilaos Trikoupis mentioned the powers of the throne as the king reigns and the people rules,throne was constantly and fully involved in actual politics, imposing PMs against the will of the people andsupporting the most conservative wing of the greek politcal life. Classical examples of this are the strugles of the throne against PMs Eleftherios Venizelos and Georgios Papandreou. Besides the controversial role of the greek throne, initiatives of the crown have caused many tragedies in modern greek history Some of them to mention the Gounaris government, blessed by the crown led greek troops to the meet the total loss in Asia Minor. In parallel Princes,as head of military troops in Asia Minor were hostile towards the greek populations there as being very in favour of Benizelos(see the National Geographic documentary about the greek expedition in Asia Minor. The greek throne blessed the Metaxa totalitarian government in the entre-deux-guerres period, a government identical to this of Moussolini and Hitler-queen consort of the postwar era Frederica was at her youth member of the Nazi youth. The greek throne at the post war era favoured the constraction of concetration camps in greek desert islands for Greeks "possible communists". Also controversial is the role of the ex king Konstantinos in the first periond of the coup-de-etat of April the 21st. Not to mention that monarchy was never wanted as an solution of indepence in the era odf greek revolution of 1821. Monarchy is a institution with no roots in Greece because there weren't a completely greek state in medieval times, as the rest of Europe has, in order a respected royal family to appear in Greece.What in other European countries was an institution of centuries, in Greece was only something imposedNemoMeImpuneLacessit (talk) 17:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] deletion
I propose to delete a few of the articles of the younger children and grandchildren of Constantine II of Greece, specifically everybody born after the monarchy was abolished. There is an obvious dispute about their titles, and I believe all those heated arguments are just a waste of time. I am specifically talking about Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark, Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark and Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark. The articles are little more than stubs describing their ancestry and justifying the article tiles, but the people themselves are non-notable. I will include this text on their talkpages as well and I wait for replies. Iago4096 09:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
