Irene Papas played Catherine of Aragon in one of my favorite royal films Anne of the Thousand Days. Well respected actress with a long, respected career.
Totally agree with you Daphni! I am Greek, and I live in Greece!we did not give him any money at all????
do you live in greece vangeliskirialanis??
i have nothing against constantine i don't mind if he comes to live in greece as a common.he was born in greece i agree that he is greek maybe not 100%. anyway he did a lot of mistakes you have to admite that this is why he was exciled as a king.
the fact that marie chantal don't speak greek or her children what do you think of that? all i see is that she had money not a tittle, so she married an exciled prince for the tittle only. constantain raised his children as greeks they went to a greek school in london.pavlos is not doing the same.even if we wanted them back with that additue i don't think so...and V i am not the only one to say that.
Rumor has it that she was pregnant with Constantine's child, but she had an abortion! They had an affair, and a pregnancy would really destroy both Constantine as well as her career!You do surprise me a lot,Odette!
I'm gonna stay in this forum forever....
I've read everything about Aliki's life,but I've never thought that Frideriki was involved in that story.Now it seems logical to me...Everything would be different if they could get married and still remain King and Queen.
Maybe all the Greeks would support the royal family until now.
I have a problem undersatnding what you say and also a question: To whom are you referring at?you would like that the journalist say these things of you ... you like that every day of your life were insulting you, throwing all kinds of rumors about you ... laughing at you ... I have lived very years in Greece..
From the Queen Sofia, constantine, Anne Marie, Irene, his children, King Pavlo none is free of rumors and insults .. They have no Greek blood ...this is the problem
The Queen never discussed anything with outsiders.
The only thing she said once to a Point de Vue interview ages ago was that the King and her tried to give as stable a home as they could to their children.
I really doubt that their relationship (if one ever occured) was more than a fling. Let's not forget that Aliki was after all 5 years at least older that Constantine and he met her in his very early 20s. Aliki always wanted to be self sufficient and provide for herself and she even said once I think :" if someone ever told me that he was willing to offer me his love and the world I would aswer.Yes, for the love. But for the world , thanks but no thanks. I'll win it by myself" She moreover enjoyed being in the stage in more than one ways and she would be willing to stop that for anything. I don't think she ever considered marrying him in any way . Constantine marrying a Greek would have indeed changed many things but that's a different story I thinkAs to them having been in love and he having wanted her I think it would have assisted the monarchy in many ways because Aliki was Greek and not foreign.Queen Anne Marie has been brilliant in her calling but she is not Greek is she?
Aliki died of cancer I think and in more than one ways the relationship that defined her the most was that with her first husband Papamichail.And Aliki dear heart died as far as I am concerned of a broken heart because she did not marry her true love the King.
I read a translation of a recent Billet Bladet and there was a mention about it. It said how in Sofia's wedding all those German princesses who were invited were being "paraded"by their parents and they were looking their best in elaborate dresses and tiaras in order to impress Constantine and Frederika because it was known that she was an " old school" royal when it came to marriage and nevertheless the teenage and simple Anne Marie won him over the restFrederika was looking for a teutonic Bride of royal ancestry.

Constantine could never have married Aliki because no prince or princess of royal blood could marry a Greek citizen. They had an affaire and it has been widely rumoured that the then Crown Prince bought the Stisihorou apartment for her, because of its proximity to the palace.
The Queen Anne Marie has been loved by most of the Greeks regardless of the fact that she was not a Greek when she married the King.
Aliki (God rest her soul) was an actress and a very ambitious one at that. Her whole life centered around her career and I am sure she knew very well that she would never become Queen in real life.
Thanks for the reply.She was indeed succesful but i was wondering if she could afford it.It is one of the most aristocratic districts in Athens if not Europe.
Just as a hypothetical question - what would have happened if Constantine had married a local greek woman (not Aliki but say a greek simulacrum of Sonja Haraldsen) instead of Anne-Marie? Would this have helped ground C in greek politics more firmly or would this have made things worse as it might have made him look more comprimised politically?
