¹The full style of the ruler:
(a) 6 Feb 1833 - 22 Oct 1862
(New Style): Eléo Theoú Vasiléfs tis Elládos ("By the grace of God, King of Greece [Hellas]");
(b) 6 Jun 1863 - 25 Oct 1920, 17 Nov 1920 - 25 Mar 1924 (New Style), 4 Nov 1935 - 22 May 1941 and 13 Oct 1944 - 1 Jun 1973: Vasiléfs ton Ellínon ("King of the Greeks [Hellenes]").

 ²Greek sources are very obscure on the style and function of this body. In some - non-Greek - sources it is described as a Regency.

 ³Having left Athens 23 Apr 1941, the King and government left Crete - the last free Greek soil - on 23 May 1941, staying in Alexandria (Egypt) 2-29 Jun 1941, then Johannesburg (South Africa) 20 Jul - 5 Sep 1941, and arriving in London (U.K.) 24 Sep 1941. There the government remained until 14 Apr 1943, then staying at Cairo (Egypt) 5 May 1943 - 6/8 Sep 1944, moving to Italy 9 Sep 1944 (from 1 Oct 1944 at Cava dei Tirreni), and finally returning to Athens 18 Oct 1944. The King returned from London 27 Sep 1946, entering Athens 28 Sep 1946.

Noble and Ecclesiastical Titles: Antivasiléfs = Regent; Archiepískopos = Archbishop; Kómis/Graf/Conte = Count; Prínkipas = Prince; Varónos (Barónos) = Baron; Velikaya knyazhna = Grand Princess; Vasilomítor = Queen Mother.

Territorial Disputes: Greece and Turkey continue discussions to resolve their complex maritime, air, territorial, and boundary disputes in the Aegean Sea; Cyprus question with Turkey; the mass migration of unemployed Albanians still remains a problem for developed countries, chiefly Greece and Italy. Greece's long coastline and developed economy entices tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and northern Africa.
