Notes

[1] Rule was by a panel of 3 regents until June 13, 1835.

[2] Otto was uniquely styled "King of Greece" (Βασιλεύς της Ελλάδος) during his reign.

[3] Constantine II went into exile in 1967. Regents (Georgios Zoitakis and George Papadopoulos) assumed his role. The monarchy was abolished by referendum in 1973.

[4] The 1973 Republic was declared on 1 June 1973 by the Regime of the Colonels. In 1974, democracy was restored. A new referendum on the monarchy took place on 8 December. The republican side won 69.2 % of the votes, and the monarchy was abolished.

Particulars about the monarchy

In the modern Kingdom of the Hellenes, established in 1832 after Greece attained independence from the Ottoman empire (1830), under a Bavarian dynasty, the title of Diadochos was 'revived' as particular princely style for the heir apparent to the constitutional royal throne, as unique as dauphin in France (but not linked to any territory). The heir also enjoyed the title of "Duke of Sparta".
