  King Constantine II - Phantis
Constantine Karamanlis who had just won a resounding victory (54% of the vote in a general election) had formally declared his neutrality in the referendum, although he was rumoured to be against the monarchy.
Constantine's personality, the way he had first sworn in the junta government, in 1967, before organising an entirely unscuccesful and somewhat comical counter-coup against them later in that year, and his reluctance to sever all ties with the junta once in exile, did not help the monarchy either.
Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie live in exile in London, England, where the exiled monarch is a close friend of The Prince of Wales and a godfather to Prince William of Wales.

Born in 1954 as Dora Mitsotakis, eldest child of Constantine Mitsotakis who later went on to be Greece’s prime minister in the early 1990s, she studied politics at the University of Athens and in Munich, Germany.
Mitsotakis himself was from one of Greece’s main political dynasties, his father and grandfathers were members of parliament and his uncle was Eleftherios Venizelos, leader of the old Liberal Party and prime minister in several governments during the first half of the 20th century.
Mitsotakis lost the Greek general election and the leadership of New Democracy in 1993 with Costas Caramanlis, nephew of former prime minister and party founder Constantine, assuming the post in 1997.

 Constantine Summary
Constantine could not challenge this decision immediately, but when his father died at York in July 306, he reasserted the claim, this time backed by the British and Gallic armies, and requested confirmation from the eastern emperor.
Constantine's motives are beyond reconstruction, but it is clear that he believed the victory had been won with divine assistance.
Constantine had never been a persecutor; indeed, in 306 he had ordered the restoration of property in Britain and Gaul that had been confiscated from Christians during the Great Persecution (303–305).

The sixth condition set by Mr Mitsotakis was that the Albanian government "must stop interfering with the rights of Albanian citizens to declare whatever ethnic identity they wish, according to international principles and must institute programmes that discourage prejudice and hostility towards ethnic Greeks and other minorities".

 King Without A Country
Constantine is the favorite former king of Europe's reigning royals- his sister is the Queen of Spain, his sister-in-law is the Queen of Denmark, Prince Philip is his cousin, and he is a godfather of Prince William- and perhaps the most determined to reign again.
Constantine, guided by Burson-Marsteller, the powerful public-relations firm he has employed since 1974, responded with a barrage of interviews in which he likened the Greek government's actions to those of Hitler and Stalin, and vowed to press his case all the way to the European Court of Human Rights.
Constantine had one more chance to show his mettle, in 1974, when the military regime disintegrated during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and former prime minister Karamanlis was asked back to form a government.

Like most Greek politicians, he came from a political family: his father and grandfathers were members of parliament, and the great liberal leader Eleutherios Venizelos was his uncle.

It is all-too-evident that then Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis was in fact keen to entertain the idea of a combined/ composite name.
However, in an unprecedented turn of events he was effectively forced to acquiesce, albeit reluctantly, in the face of vehement opposition by the majority of his own party, ND.
Most importantly though, Mitsotakis was confronted with the strong endorsement of Samaras's view [1] by the joint Council of Party Leaders presided by then President of the Hellenic Republic Constantine Karamanlis [...with the notable exception of Aleka Paparriga of the Greek Communist Party].
