Prince William may have been the heartthrob of Britain once upon a time, but there’s a new hunky royal who we’ve got our eyes on – meet Prince Achileas-Andreas of Greece and Denmark.

Despite being one of Constantine II’s grandchildren, the young prince presents as a more humble “Achileas of Greece” on Instagram, where he has 465,000 followers. He’s a part of the Greek royal family, whose power was dissolved in the 1970s.

Although many of his social media posts show him living a life not so different from the average 20-something, Achileas-Andreas sure enjoys more luxuries than most.

Let’s take a look inside his lavish lifestyle …

Prince Achileas-Andreas is the grandson of the last king of Greece

Achileas-Andreas is the third child of Pavlos, the Crown Prince of Greece, and Hong Kong-raised Marie-Chantal, the Crown Princess of Greece (who was born into the Danish royal family). Pavlos is the firstborn son of King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, who ruled as Greece’s king and queen until a 1973 referendum ended the Greek monarchy.

The referendum took place after a right-wing military coup that began in 1967. After King Constantine ultimately failed at instating a counter-coup, he and his family moved around Europe while living in exile.

Almost 69 per cent of voters in Greece voted to abolish the country’s monarchy in favour of a republic, The New York Times reported. Konstantinos Karamanlis was elected prime minister and the new Greek parliament gathered in December 1974, marking the official end of the monarchy.

While in exile, Constantine spent considerable time in London, where he had a close relationship with King Charles, his second cousin. He was named one of Prince William’s godfathers.

Constantine II died in January, age 82.

His son, Pavlos, spent much of his adult life in the United States. He met Marie-Chantal in New Orleans in 1992, and four of their five children, including Achileas-Andreas, were born in the US. The former royals have lived in Connecticut, California and New York.

While Achileas-Andreas’ paternal grandfather, Constantine II, was the last king of Greece, there is vast wealth and influence on his mother’s side, as well.

Marie-Chantal’s father is retail magnate Robert Miller, who has an estimated net worth of almost US$2 billion, according to Forbes. Now 89 years old, Miller made his fortune by co-founding Duty Free Shops in 1960. He has co-owned the company, along with fashion conglomerate LVMH, since 1997.

But Miller isn’t the only successful member of Achileas-Andreas’ family.

Marie-Chantal owns a luxury children’s clothing company and Pavlos, Achileas-Andreas’s father, is a managing member of a hedge fund, Ortelius Ventures & Ortelius Capital Partners.

Achileas-Andreas, 22, has four siblings: 26-year-old Maria-Olympia, 24-year-old Constantine-Alexios, 18-year-old Odysseas-Kimon and 14-year-old Aristidis-Stavros.

His family maintains their royal titles, so he and his brothers are princes and his sister is a princess. However, the family holds no political power.

While Maria-Olympia and Constantine-Alexios have garnered hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers, Achileas-Andreas’ younger siblings have more private lives.

As a teenager, Maria-Olympia, who often goes by Olympia, interned at Christian Dior. But her interest in fashion dates back to her childhood.

In 2020 she told Vogue, “I went to a Valentino show with my mother and father in Rome and I remember sitting on my father’s lap and thinking this is unbelievable.”

Olympia graduated from NYU in 2019, and she holds a degree in fashion business and marketing. She has modelled for prominent fashion publications, including Teen Vogue, Town and Country and W.

Achileas-Andreas is currently a student at New York University. He was born in New York City, but between his early childhood and university years, he lived in London with his family and attended school there.

He acts and has appeared in The Bold and the Beautiful

In 2017, Achileas-Andreas appeared in a few episodes of the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. He was credited under his stage name, Achi Miller.

That same year, he spoke to Paper Magazine about acting, saying, “It was always a great passion of mine. When I was a kid I remember always watching movies and TV shows and I was like, ‘This is what I want to do: be an actor.’”

Although he’s only acted in one other project – a short film titled Just Noise released in 2022 – since The Bold and the Beautiful, he expressed interest in moving to LA in his interview with Paper Magazine. When asked if he’d consider moving to LA to pursue acting, he said, “Oh yeah, 100 per cent, definitely. I love going to LA. Every time I go to LA I love being out there.”

Achileas-Andreas is reportedly dating Isabella Massenet, a model, DJ and the daughter of Natalie Massenet, the founder of luxury fashion brand Net-a-Porter.

Although neither has confirmed their relationship to the press, posts on Massenet’s Instagram dating back to 2021 show the two spending time together.

Despite his royal status, he posts like any other influencer

Just like any other 20-something, Achileas-Andreas shares photos of himself partying with friends and photos of his food.

According to his Instagram profile, he also travels widely. His profile is full of photos documenting his trips around the world, which include visits to countries across Europe and Africa.

However, he also references his royal connections on his Instagram profile. Following Queen Elizabeth’s death in September 2022, he posted a series of photos of her, calling her “the most remarkable public servant of recent world history”.

“And on a more personal level,” he added, “tales of her wonderful yet characteristic kindness have always been handed down to me by my father and grandfather who remember how she welcomed and supported my family when they arrived in England.”

 

He also posts photos of his own family. Following his grandfather’s death in January, he shared photos of him, and referenced Constantine’s love of sailing. (Before he was king, Constantine won a gold medal for sailing at the 1960 Olympics.)

“My dearest Apapa, we all miss you so much. Sailing on into your new adventure,” Achileas-Andreas wrote.
