King Constantine was deposed by the Colonels in 1967 and had stepped foot in his country only once since, for his mother's funeral.

MK: "Mr. Buckley,... a lot of people may be thinking you're verging on conscious self-parody here. Are you actually a monarchist? ..." WFB: "In respect of America I'm a republican with a capital R and a small r.
