There's some confusion here. Prior to World War II the term was British Empire, post 1945 it became the British Commonwealth, and later the Commonwealth of Nations.
There is no way in the world that Greece, a sovereign nation, would have become a member state of the British Empire if Prince Alfred had become King.
Using the same analagy, one could just as well claim that King Otto (born a Prince of Bavaria) would have made Greece a member state of the German Confederation.
It's absurd.
