De Grèce: Why the former king’s children chose citizenship over Royalty – The story, background, and the family’s plans

The adoption of a “common” surname by Prince Pavlos and nine other members of the former royal family, spanning two generations, marks the definitive closure of one of the last unresolved chapters of the post-junta era.

Greetings! Since the government isn’t producing much news for this column, except for Olgara, who popped up in court again yesterday with her signature black shades, “clarifying that she doesn’t make statements for the sake of her children”—who, if I’m not mistaken, are still babies, but anyway—I’ll move on to the PASOK-SYRIZA scene where things are more fun.
