Meet Prince William’s Godson: Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark
From high society to art, high-profile romance, and fashion, here's what to know about the jet-setting Prince captivating Europe's elite.
He's been dubbed one of Europe's most eligible young royals, but there's far more to Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark than just a familiar surname and photogenic smile.
The son of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal, the young Prince has carved out a distinct identity — one that blends academic achievement, creative expression, and high-society charm with deep-rooted royal heritage.
Born on October 29, 1998, in New York, Prince Constantine-Alexios carries a name that echoes the legacy of his grandfather, King Constantine II — the last King of the Hellenes, who was deposed following the abolition of the Greek monarchy in 1973.
Despite having no throne to inherit, the family's royal ties have remained remarkably strong. This was particularly evident during the Prince's christening at St. Sophia's Cathedral in London in April 1999, where his godparents read like a roll call of European royalty.
Among them were reigning monarchs King Felipe VI of Spain and King Frederik X of Denmark, alongside two future heads of state — Prince William, Prince of Wales, and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.
Like his godfather, Prince Constantine-Alexios began his education at London's prestigious Wetherby School, a former academic home to Prince Harry and other prominent figures.
He then attended Wellington College before moving to the United States, where he enrolled at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Following his graduation in 2022 with a degree in English, the family relocated to New York to be closer during his university years.
But academia is only one part of the Prince's multifaceted life. A talented artist, he has shown a distinct interest in painting and sculpture, following in the creative footsteps of his mother, once a fixture of the New York art scene and an intern at Andy Warhol's studio.
The Prince's artistic flair has also taken him in front of the camera, modelling for Dior in "The Dior Sessions," a menswear publication by the luxury house, photographed by Nikolai von Bismarck.
Naturally, the Prince's social life has attracted almost as much interest as his aristocratic background. In 2023, reports linked him to British socialite Poppy Delevingne, who soon became close to his sister, Princess Maria-Olympia.
Their relationship seemed confirmed when the Prince shared a sun-drenched photo of them on his Instagram stories. However, the following year brought whispers of a new romance with model Brooks Nader.
The pair made a public appearance at the June 2024 wedding of Olivia Culpo and NFL star Christian McCaffrey in Rhode Island, where they were pictured smiling, with the Prince's arm wrapped around Nader's waist.
More recently, Prince Constantine-Alexios was seen arm-in-arm with "Outer Banks" actress Madelyn Cline. For a royal whose social circle spans A-list celebrities, fashion insiders, and sporting elites, such intrigue seems almost inevitable.
Online, Prince Constantine-Alexios has captured the imagination of admirers and royal watchers alike, as many have drawn comparisons to his famous godfather, Prince William.
"Wow!! Well with a godfather like Prince William, how can you not look like that?? 🔥" one person shared. Another typed, "Prince charming ❤️," while a third remarked, "William looks like his grandfather."
There were also more humorous takes, with one netizen commenting, "William passed his hair genes to him," and another playfully adding, "Ah now we know where prince William's hairline went to [sic]."
Between his artistic pursuits, his romantic entanglements, and his enduring royal ties, Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark is undeniably a figure of fascination — both on and offline.

Smiling as she cradled her newborn son, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece was photographed holding Prince Constantine-Alexios during an official photocall at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. The portrait, taken in January 1999, showed the Princess just weeks into motherhood, shortly before her son's christening in London.
William, Prince of Wales, arrived at the Greek Cathedral of Saint Sophia in London wearing a sling after a sporting injury, drawing attention from the press as he joined other royals for the christening of his godson, Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece.
Moments before the ceremony, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal was seen cradling Prince Constantine-Alexios, as Prince William leaned in with a smile, clearly unfazed by the arm injury that had him in a sling throughout the day.
Standing outside the cathedral after the service, Prince William waved to onlookers, his arm still in a sling, while King Constantine II looked on warmly. The moment offered a glimpse of the light-hearted energy shared between the generations of royals.
