[2] Constantine went into exile in 1967. Regents assumed his role. The monarchy was abolished by referendum in 1973.
[3] The 1973 republic was declared by the Regime of the Colonels. In 1974, democracy was restored. A new referendum on the monarchy took place. The republican side won by 2:1.

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 Duke of Sparta.
