King Constantine may go to Denmark

September 29, 1922

It is not "improbable" King Constantine may go to Denmark, according to his brother, Prince Constantine, who was interviewed by the Associated Press. Switzerland "no longer appeals" as a haven for the Constantine, who is also a prince of Denmark. If there are no objections by the Danish government, the king will travel there. He will only return to Switzerland, his last place of exile, as a "last resort.

Prince Christopher's spokesman told the press that the prince has no desire to ascend the throne. Prince Christopher and his wife are "both quite happy in Paris, and they do not believe that their happiness would be increased by assuming the throne, especially under existing circumstances."
Christopher's spokesman also noted that that the prince was not the main heir. King Constantine has two sons, George and Paul, who is followed in the succession by the King's brother, George, who is followed by Prince Nicholas (no sons) and Prince Andrew (who is the father of a 15-month-old son, Philip). Prince Christopher's place in the succession is after little Prince Philip.
