Royal once dubbed one of the 'hottest unknown princes' is celebrated by the Greek Royal Family as he turns 25
Achileas-Andreas, who recently graduated from New York University, is the third child of Crown Prince Pavlos of and Marie-Chantal Miller.
He is one of five children; his siblings include sister Maria-Olympia, 29, and brothers Constantine-Alexios, 26, Odysseas-Kimon, 20, and Aristidis-Stavros, 17.
The 25-year-old, who goes by the name Achi, is an actor who was recently dubbed one of Tatler's 'hottest unknown princes'.
When he marked his quarter century on Tuesday - not long after his sister Maria-Olympia turned 29 on July 25 - his parents and siblings marked the special day with a series of Instagram posts and Stories.
His father Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, 58, shared an image of his son on a yacht, wearing shades, a white shirt and red shorts.
The image was accompanied by a caption which said: 'Happy Birthday Achilea always stand strong.'
Meanwhile, Achi's mother Marie-Chantal Miller shared a shot of the royal which she accompanied by a sweet message.
Her greetings read: 'Happy birthday to my number 3! may this year be a great one love you mucho mucho.'
She also shared an image via Stories, which showed Achi's birthday cake, complete with candles.
The actor's siblings' posts were equally touching: his elder sister Maria-Olympia took to Instagram Stories to mark his special day.
She shared two Stories, the first an image of her brother wearing a red shirt and pair of sunglasses, with a written message that tagged him and said: 'Happy birthday.'
Her second story boasted an image of her with her brother, alongside text which read: 'ilysm [I love you so much].'
His brother Odysseas also shared an Instagram Story post, opting for an image featuring him and Achi.
A caption was superimposed on the image. It said: 'Happy birthday @achi_of_greece I love you very much, have the best day ever.'
His youngest sibling, brother Aristidis-Stavros posted a snap of Achi on a boat looking out over the sea as the sun set.
Text accompanying the image said: 'Happy birthday to my amazing brother @achi_of_greece, I love you so much.'
Achi, who was born in New York, divided his time between the US and the UK, studying at college in Berkshire before attending NYU, where he trained in performing arts.
While he is a member of the Greek Royal Family, they have had no right to the throne since December 1974, when voters overwhelmingly backed a republican constitution, months after the fall of a seven-year military dictatorship.
The exiled royals then lived in England for many years after the late King Constantine II and his family members were stripped of Greek citizenship in 1994 in a dispute with the government over formerly royal property and over claims that he refused to renounce any right to the Greek throne for his descendants.
However, in December last year, in a decision published in the government gazette, dated Friday, citizenship was granted to 10 members of the former royal family.
They include the five children of the late king and former Queen Anne-Marie as well as Archi and his four siblings.
The Royal Family's statement was shared by Crown Prince Pavlos - Constantine's eldest son - to his Instagram account and was posted in both Greek and English. The official statement read: 'It is with deep emotion that, after 30 years, we hold the Greek citizenship again. The law of 1994 deprived us of our citizenship, rendering us stateless with all that this entails in terms of individual rights and great emotional distress. Our father and our family fully respected the result of the 1974 referendum.
'However, the provision of the 1994 law on citizenship, a result of the political status at the time, was not befitting of a former head of the Greek state and an institution that served the country faithfully. The passing of our father marked the end of an era.'

Braless Myleene Klass steps out in all-white outfit as she strolls through London amid Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes feud
Myleene Klass turned heads in an all-white outfit as she strolled through London amid her alleged feud with Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes. The 47-year-old former Hear'Say songstress went braless in a chic flowing dress as she walked through the busy city on Saturday, making her way to the Smooth Radio studios. The presenter - who is said to have fallen out with former The Saturdays bandmates Frankie and Rochelle - appeared in good spirits as she posed up a storm. Myleene looked sensational in a summery outfit which showed off her incredibly toned physique. She added a huge red Chanel flap bag to accessorise, drawing attention to her effortless appearance. Myleene seemed to shrug off any trace of a feud, looking carefree during her walk. Myleene is said to be at loggerheads with TV personalities Frankie and Rochelle - both former clients of her bodyguard ex-husband. The trio all used to hang out together, with Loose Women hosts Myleene and Frankie attending Rochelle's hen do in 2012. According to new claims, ITV have been forced to step in to help smooth things in the decade-long feud, which is just now coming to light. Yet the following year, Myleene is said to have believed she was being 'blanked' by Frankie and confronted her at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year awards - which is when the pair requested not to work together. Meanwhile Myleene's feud with Rochelle is said to have been sparked after The Saturdays star recently shared a picture of herself on holiday in Ibiza with husband Marvin and Myleene's ex-husband Graham Quinn. Graham used to work as JLS' tour manager and earlier this month Myleene accused him of cheating on her with an unknown star. According to insiders close to the situation, Rochelle sharing the photo on Instagram the same week she made the revelation was 'game over' for Myleene. It's the latest twist as it's been reported that there has been an underlying conflict between Myleene, Rochelle and Frankie, who all work at ITV. Frankie's representatives have told Daily Mail that there is 'absolutely no feud' between the pair, while those close to Rochelle insist there is 'no feud'. Myleene's representative declined to comment on the situation when the Daily Mail previously reached out for comment. Frankie posted a cryptic social media post on Monday that was captioned: 'You're so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I've just realised you're actually dead to me.' The TikTok video showed Frankie sipping on a glass of wine and was set to the music of Avril Lavigne's What The Hell. Frankie then added below: 'Takes me a while, but once you're dead you're dead.' She didn't specify who or what incident she was talking about in the post. As for Myleene, she hit headlines last week when she publicly addressed ex-husband Graham's cheating scandal. Graham, 47, started dating Myleene in 2001, having met when he worked as security guard for her pop group Hear'Say. The couple went on to welcome daughters Ava, 17, and Hero, 14, and tied the knot in 2011 after a decade together - only to separate six months later. Speaking on Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, the mother-of- three, who is also a mother to son Apollo, five, said: 'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony.' Turning her thoughts towards the other woman, Myleene said: 'I've made peace with that situation now, but for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life. 'My life literally just broke apart very, very publicly and their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it. I have to take some accountability. 'Look, you know, first and foremost to my children. My children have asked enough questions and it's never been a case of laying out my stall now. 'It's got to be as and when. But here's the funny thing - school mums, people who just want to gossip, will go to your children before anybody else.' According to the TV presenter, the pair tried to claim that it wasn't what it looked like and she continued: 'I'm in my house, it's my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other. 'It's not what you think'. But I'm like, 'It is what I think'. 'It's the first thing they both said. I kicked everyone out of the party, including his mum and dad. They went back to Ireland and his dad said: 'He doesn't get it from me'. 'I remember thinking that was quite a weird thing to say,' she told the love expert. Graham tried to blame the affair on being drunk. Myleene admitted the whole ordeal was a 'pretty big red flag' but still went through with their wedding in October 2011.

Gemma Collins reveals when she will marry fiancé Rami Hawash as she aims to 'try top' Jeff Bezos' $50 million wedding to Lauren Sanchez
Gemma Collins has finally confirmed her wedding plans – and has revealed she aims to make it bigger than Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's $50 million extravaganza. The TOWIE legend, 44, said she and fiancé Rami Hawash, 50, will wed in 2026, after being told by her astrologer it was the perfect year to get hitched. The pair got engaged for the second time four years ago, and Gemma admitted the countdown was officially on – even if the planning hasn't quite gone to schedule. She confessed she hadn't booked the venue yet and could even leave the finer details until the last minute, but promised the bash would be magical. Speaking to The Mirror she said: 'I mean, after Jeff Bezos' wedding, I've sure as hell got to try and top that one, haven't I?' Gemma went on to explain that she wanted a woodland theme with a fairytale twist, inspired by her love of Disney's Maleficent and was hoping for a 'mythical and boho' atmosphere. She added that Irish twin singers Jedward could help to bring the fantasy vision to life and she would have a starring role when she ties the knot. '[Jedward] will be singing. They'll definitely have a major role in the big day. They could be mythical creatures. I love them to death, the boys.' Gemma and Jedward have been friends for years with the Irish twins - who first found fame on The X Factor - regularly travelling to Essex to see her. They even spent Christmas and New Year together two years ago. Rami got down on one knee in the Maldives, after whisking Gemma off on a birthday holiday, which she admits took her completely by surprise. He planned a romantic sushi dinner before telling her to look out the window, where he laid lights on the beach that read: 'Will you marry me?' Rami set up an outdoor seating area and flew out hundreds of roses so petals could cover the sands where they were sitting, with the ring in a shell. Gemma gushed that it was 'beautiful' and admitted she 'had no idea' what was coming and didn't have any makeup on or even a bra, but added: 'I wouldn't change a thing.' Gemma also explained she wanted a woodland theme with a fairytale twist, inspired by her love of Disney's Maleficent and was hoping for a 'mythical and boho' atmosphere, with Jedward helping to bring the fantasy vision to life (pictured with John and Edward) Rami popped the question with a huge diamond ring, that The Daily Mail revealed is worth in excess of a staggering £200,000. Gemma has known Rami for over ten years after meeting the businessman back in 2011 and they have been engaged twice before. He had originally proposed by placing the ring in a Christmas pudding in 2013 when they first start dating. However, four weeks later, Gemma had called off the engagement. But the pair then reunited during lockdown, seven years after breaking off their original engagement. It comes after Gemma was left 'terrified' and forced to call in police after she received an 'abusive and menacing' letter to her home. A source close to Gemma told The Sun how the man behind the twisted letter detailed his strong dislike for her and talked about tracking her down. They said: 'Gemma was left shaken and very scared for her safety after she received a threatening and abusive letter from a man expressing his extreme dislike for her and using menacing language. 'It was really nasty and made reference to tracking her down, so she called the police straight away. 'It was alarming that this man knew her home address, but she already upped security and has round-the-clock guard dogs and has cameras onsite. 'She is always incredibly friendly with all her fans and happy to stop for pictures and a chat so to have someone send such an unpleasant letter has really shocked her.' The insider shared that there is now an ongoing investigation and Gemma is 'grateful' to the police for taking the matter seriously.
