ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Odysseas Kimon, the youngest grandson of Greece's former king, Constantine, was christened at a service Saturday in Athens.
Pavlos, 38, the eldest son of the former king _ lives in London with his 36-year-old wife, Marie Chantal, the daughter of business tycoon Robert Miller. The service was attended by Queen Sophia of Spain, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway and Denmark's Princess Alexandra Sayn Wittgenstein. Constantine fled Greece in 1967, shortly after a military coup. The monarchy was abolished by referendum after the dictatorship collapsed in 1974, and most former royal property was taken over by the state. In 2003, the Council of Europe's Human Rights Court ended a decades-old legal battle and ordered Greece to pay Constantine €12 million euros (US$13 million) for seized palaces, estates and property.
