The Exiled Royal Family
All members of the former royal family are living abroad; Constantine II and his wife, Anne-Marie and unmarried children currently reside in London. As male-line descendants of King Christian IX of Denmark the members of the dynasty bear the title of Prince or Princess of Denmark; this is why they are traditionally referred to as Princes or Princesses of Greece and Denmark.
