In 1966, Constantine II of Greece sent his envoy Demetrios Bitsios to Paris on mission to convince Karamanlis to return to Greece and resume a role in Greek politics.
According to uncorroborated claims made by the former monarch only after both men had died, in 2006, Karamanlis replied to Bitsios that he would return under the condition that the King were to wage martial law, as was his constitutional prerogative.
They also alleged that a photograph of the former New Democracy leader Constantine Mitsotakis standing next to a uniformed Nazi officer, that had been repeatedly published by the PASOK-leaning Greek daily Avriani, was in fact a photomontage fabricated in Bulgaria.

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.

George A. Tsatsos' work is an original contribution by a member of a prominent Greek family, which includes a president of Greece and the painter Nico Ghika.
Tsatsos himself, a "captain of the cement industry" and international businessman, with wide encyclopaedic interests including collecting contemporary art, has been reluctant to exhibit his work.

Eminent Greek statesman Constantine Karamanlis was born in 1907 in Proti, near Serres, northern Greece, the first of four sons and three daughters of Georgios Karamanlis, a teacher and later tobacco grower, and Fotini Dologlou.
Constantine's complaint concerned the confiscation in 1994 by the Greek state of former royal property and objections to the Greek state's requirement that he and his family use a surname as a condition for access to courts and for continued recognition of their Greek nationality and passports.
Reppas noted that Constantine had acquired the property in question when he was a monarch, "because, it's quite obvious that he couldn't have acquired it as a private citizen".
