1. Dude… what's up/where is the sound?

2. My favourite member of the royal family as a Greek has to be Queen Olga, she has a really fascinating life and I would love to see a video on her.

3. RIP🙏🙏🙏😭 our king

4. Damn..

   You made me feel bad for a royal

5. The term ex king does not exist. Once crowned a king you are king until you die. Noone can unking you, he left Greece a king.

6. สวัสดีคะทุกวันนี้ยังขอข้าวชาวบ้านกินแถบทุกวันเลยนะคะเหมือนวันนี้ไปขอเส้นหมี่พวกเขายังบอกว่าไม่ต้องเอาไปเยาะนะนำ้ตาแทบใหลเพาะเขาเป็นหลาน

7. Sorry, but your preamble – of Greek (mainly Athenian) culture & history from way back when – was irrelevant compared to the fact that it was the victorious 19th century European monarchs, led by British & Danish dynastic self-interests, who clubbed together to decide who would support their combined interests as well as those of the new kingdom of the Hellenes/Greece.

8. “The former king of Greece died like a week ago…”
   Me who loves under a rock and just clicked on this video because it looked interesting: WHAT

9. He should have had an official state funeral as he had been Head of the State for 9 years, despite the fact that during his reign he messed it up completely by interfering in politics, violating the constitution, confronting with all political parties and organising conspiracies.

10. Ypur Majesty good Heven🇬🇷

11. Great work

12. The underlying reason why Americans supported the colonels instead of the king is that the royal family was the linchpin of British influence in Greece. Americans wanted to have Greece 100% under their control. I know, Americans and Brits were supposed to be allies, but there was an unofficial rivalry between them. 🙂

13. I lived in Greece for couple years and I have to say that modern Greeks are very interesting and unique people but also very complicated. I think they are stubborn rebels by nature. Its hard for them to kneel to a king or any other foreign power like EU, NATO etc. And they will not do it even if that is against their interests and comes with a cost for their lives and their future. Sometimes I was thinking how is possible for this nation to be under Ottoman occupation and maybe thats the awnser why after that they are so proud and rebellious even though their country is not an example of how to run a modern country properly. They have so much corruption but at the same time their so proud for their country and their customs. They fight over anything with each other (they love to hate each other actually, its like their national hobby) but they can suddenly become one body when a foreigner will attack them. The majority of Greek people are against the Royals even though their politicians are very corrupted. Constantine made just 2 mistakes, he rejected the leftish elected government of Papandreou and a bit later he didn't do anything to stop the military Junta… and Greeks will never forgive him for these 2 mistakes because that resulted 7 years of dictatorship and the loss of half Cyprus by the Turks.

14. 22:14 this photo is from turkey

15. Constan-teen.

16. So, all these Greek Royals were not Greeks at all and imposed on them by the Great Powers of the time. No wonder they kicked them out in the end i guess……

17. Prince Albert was Queen Victoria's 2nd child, but not her 2nd son.

18. I lost it with the irritating narrator….what are the SY CLAD ICS??? ( phonetically reproduced) she means the SI CLID EEZ……..can’t bear it!

19. You didn't mention why his mother (Federica) was another factor in his unpopularity. I think she was involved with a child trafficking orphanage, plus she was pretty partial to a bit of Nazism herself.

20. Just a small correction. To say that Greece prospered during Byzantine times is an exaggeration at best. Believers of the old Hellenic religion were chased, killed and violently baptized Christians in an effort to make Christianity the dominant religion. Thus very heavy taxation was put into effect in the Greek mainland due to many not willing to convert and although they did convert or die eventually the heavy taxation stayed. Greeks like to think of the Byzantine empire as a continuation of Greek identity although it isn't. In fact it is as vague as saying America belongs to England just because you speak English. To sum up, calling yourself a Hellene (Greek) from the 5th century AD up until the 18th century was synonymous to being a pagan.

21. I really love history and consider myself knowing a lot about it, but this video taught me a lot of things I've never heard before. Great, thanks so much!

22. Restore the Monerchy

23. forgot to mention "iouliana" where the king's anti-constitutional decision to not let prime minister George Papadreou become minister of defense so he can keep his "puppet" Peter Garoufalias as minister caused Papandreou's resignment and political termoil which was the perfect time for the coup to happen.

24. Does anyone knows what’s the artist prince instagram name is? I couldn’t find it in description.

25. How is he a cousin with the King of Sweden?

26. Thank you for this video.

27. Hey not all Greeks suffered under the Ottomans, it was not unheard of to willingly join the devshirme. Not to mention, half the sultans were like half Greek, more Greek than kings Otto and George certainly were.
