Who is Prince Achileas-Andreas of Greece and Denmark?
Prince Achileas-Andreas was born on August 12, 2000 and is a member of the former Greek royal family and the extended Danish royal family.
He is the second son and third child of Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece and Marie-Chantal Miller.
Going by Achi, the prince is the grandson of the last monarchs of Greece, Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece until a 1973 referendum ended the Greek monarchy.
The referendum took place after a right-wing military coup that began in 1967.
After King Constantine failed at instating a counter-coup, he and his family moved around Europe while living in exile.
Almost 69 per cent of people in Greece voted to abolish the country’s monarchy in favour of a republic.
Konstantinos Karamanlis was elected prime minister and the new Greek parliament gathered in December 1974 which marked the end of the monarchy.
Achi is one of five children, with siblings Maria-Olympia, Constantine-Alexios, Odysseas-Kimon and Aristidis-Stavros.
