Police are investigating the scenario of suicide - The 45-year-old was a financier, Prince Michael's son-in-law and married to Gabriella, whose godfather was former King Constantine

The first time I ever spoke with former king Constantine was shortly after the publication of my book "The Rape of Greek Democracy: The American Factor" in 1997. The phone rang and I heard a deep voice say: "Good evening. This is the king." It took me a moment to realize who it was exactly, but that call was the first of many conversations about history over the course of many years to come.

The Greek Republic is mature enough to be able to deal with and talk about its history and the protagonists of that history without insecurity and without passions becoming excessively inflamed.

The death of the former king Constantine II is an opportunity to assess his reign and its aftermath from a cool and calm perspective, without insulting anyone or overly praising anyone. 

Constantine attended the elite Anavryta Classical Lyceum, Greece's first Western-style, boys-only boarding school, which was founded in 1940 and re-established for the 1949-50 academic year with the express purpose of ensuring that the heir to the Greek throne received a "proper" education.

The former king of Greece, Constantine, remained hospitalized in a private Athens clinic's ICU for a fifth straight day on Monday, following a serious stroke.

Constantine, who turns 83 in June, suffered the stroke at his residence in Athens.

Attending physicians said his condition was critical.

Investigators found a cache of weapons at the hideout of captured left-wing extremist Pola Roupa, officials said Sunday.

Police said they uncovered two assault rifles, two pistols and four grenades as well as bullets. They also found a significant amount of cash and impounded a car Roupa bought in December 2016.

Thursday, May 21, may feel as though half of Greece is celebrating because everyone knows a Constantine (Costas, Costis, Dinos) or Helen (Eleni, Elena, Konstantina, Dina, Lena etc) whose feast day it is on Thursday.
