The incredible life of Prince William's godson, Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece
So, Prince Harry is officially off the market — but don't despair. There are
still plenty of eligible young princes out there to steal your hearts.
One such bachelor is Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark
or 'Tino' to his friends. Alexios is 19-years-old and currently enrolled in
Georgetown University in Washington D.C.
Since the Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, Alexios' role is titular
only. He does, however, know how to live like a royal.
On Instagram, he's garnered almost 100,000 followers who keep up with
his lavish lifestyle — featuring luxury holidays, impressive artwork and
hunting exploits.
Despite being born in New York, Alexios was raised in England when his
family relocated and attended Wellington College in Berkshire.
Scroll down for a look into the life of one of the world's most eligible
bachelors.

16-year-old Prince William attended the christening of his new godson at
the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sophia in London in 1999.
Prince Alexios' grandfather, King Constantine, is a close friend and
second cousin of Prince Charles — he is also Prince William's godfather.

The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973 after a constitutional
referendum ruled overwhelmingly in favour of a republic.
The young prince likes to spend time with his royal
siblings, 21-year-old Princess Maria-Olympia and
17-year-old Prince Achileas-Andreas. Here they are being photographed for Paper Magazine.

His sister Maria, who has modelled for Vogue and walked
the catwalk for Dolce and Gabbana, also has a large
following on social media. Here she is catching a
piggyback from her younger brother.
Alexios celebrated his 18th birthday as not many
teenagers could, with a Day of the Dead themed party
at Albert's private member's club in Chelsea...

... Membership at Albert's costs a princely £650 per annum,
plus a £250 joining fee. Alexios wore a bespoke Joshua
Kane jacket to the party.
Judging by his mother's Instagram page, it looks like he
received a pretty special 18th birthday present.

Royal birthdays are always well-attended. At their sister's
21st, Alexios and Achileus managed to steal a kiss with
celebrity heiress Paris Hilton. Alexios captioned the
moment "Greek sandwich."
Here he is posing for a family photo before starting his
freshman year at Georgetown University, Washington
D.C. His father also studied at Georgetown, gaining
a Masters degree in international relations and
economics.

Alexios attends Georgetown with his sister's socialite
friend Talita Von Furstenberg (R) — who's also his
cousin. They have the 'college yell', Hoya Saxa, painted
on their cheeks.
When he's not studying Alexios likes to travel the world
in style. With his finals done, he's currently chilling out
on Harbour Island in the Bahamas...

... It's not the first time he's been. In 2016, he and his
friends found a plane abandoned in the ocean. "Put it
in rice?" the caption reads.
At the opposite end of the weather spectrum, Alexios
posts lots of photos from hunting trips in Yorkshire —
draped in tweed, of course...

... It looks like all the men of the family get involved.
He's also clearly very artistic. Here he is putting the
finishing touches to a charcoal drawing from a studio
in London...

... He's handy with a brush too.
He can also turn his hand to musical instruments like the
piano...

Whatever hobby the young royal chooses to pursue, be
it horse riding...
