Greek military junta of 1967–1974

Would the referendum for abolishing the monarchy had been held if Constantine had returned to Greece before Konstantinos Karamanlis after the fall of the junta? And if it had, would the king have lost for certain? No one knows.

Greece's former King Constantine II, who died on Tuesday night aged 82, will be buried privately at a former royal estate north of Athens, the Greek government said on Wednesday.

Deposed by military rulers and spurned by his subjects who voted to ditch the monarchy in 1974, Constantine II was the only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece.

Greece's former king Constantine II, who died on Tuesday aged 82, will not be granted a state funeral, the government said Wednesday.

A funeral and a memorial service will be held at the former royal family's summer palace of Tatoi, northwest of Athens, where his ancestors are also laid to rest. There was no announcement on the date of the funeral.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has reacted to the death of Greece's former king Constantine II at the age of 82 Tuesday.

Greece's former King Constantine II, whose nine-year reign coincided with one of the most turbulent periods in the country's political history, died on Tuesday aged 82.

Greek public broadcaster ERT said Constantine, a cousin of British monarch King Charles III, died "of a stroke."
