kelly9480 said:Constantine is still accorded something akin to the titles he used while reigning. He is no longer HM The King of the Hellenes, but is rather HM King Constantine of the Hellenes in guestlists. He is sometimes listed as HM The Former King of the Hellenes or HM King Constantine, Former King of the Hellenes by diplomatic channels. You shouldn't expect the press to get titles right, though. Queen Elizabeth has been called HRH by British citizens and in British press for years now -- and they really should know better.
Your remarks are well taken. Both, HM The Former king of the Hellenes and HM King Constantine, Former King of the Hellenes are correct, appropriate and in deference to the Hellenic Constitution as well as to the former king and history.
