According to a recently published report in BizNews, the 71-year-old former Greek King Constantine II of Greece was rushed to a private hospital in November with the symptoms of a stroke.

After diagnosing that the former monarch had suffered a stroke, doctors kept him in the hospital under close observation for an additional four days, discharging him on November 24.

In a recently televised interview on Skai TV, when asked whether he would be interested in returning the monarchy to Greece, the former king said that the decision was in the hands of the Greek people.  He said that he would return to the throne if the Greek people asked him to.

Constantine II was the last King of Greece, reigning from March 1964, following the death of his father, King Paul, until 1973, when the Greek monarchy was abolished by referendum.
