The Greek monarchy was abolished by the then-ruling military regime on 1 June 1973, an act that was confirmed by plebiscite on 8 December 1974 after the regime's fall. The title of king is used by the last reigning monarch, Constantine II (r. 1964–1973). His son, the Crown Prince Pavlos, who was born in 1967, is the heir apparent to the pretended title.
- Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, Prince of Denmark, eldest son of Constantine II
- Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark, eldest son of Crown Prince Pavlos
- Prince Achileas-Andreas of Greece and Denmark, second son of Crown Prince Pavlos
- Prince Odysseas-Kimon of Greece and Denmark, third son of Crown Prince Pavlos
- Prince Aristidis-Stavros of Greece and Denmark, youngest son of Crown Prince Pavlos
- Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, daughter of Crown Prince Pavlos
- Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark, second son of Constantine II
- Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark, youngest son of Constantine II
- Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark, eldest daughter of Constantine II
- Carlos Morales y de Grecia, son of Princess Alexia

- Ana-Maria Morales y de Grecia, second daughter of Princess Alexia
- Amelia Morales y de Grecia, youngest daughter of Princess Alexia

- Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, youngest sister of Constantine II
[edit] Notes
- Queen Sofia of Spain, elder sister of Constantine II, relinquished her rights to the throne of Greece in 1962 when she married the then Infante Juan Carlos of Spain,[1] so neither she nor her descendants appear in the line of succession.
- Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (born a member of the Greek royal family) renounced his rights to the Greek throne before his marriage to Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
- Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark renounced his rights to the throne upon his morganatic marriage to Marina Karella.[2][3]
