Shouldn't Pavlos be entitled to be called Crown prince, assuming that was the title he held when his father was still reigning.
I see him similarly to Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia and even Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany. Both kept or are keeping the titles they held when the monarchy was extant.

: King Constantine II of the Hellenes, like
: King
: Michael of Romania, should be entitled to
: the privilege of continuing use of his
: exalted title -- for reasons that he was, at
: one point, an enthroned sovereign.

: As well as king Simeon of Bulgaria, although

: Peter II had the right to use the title of

: Naturally his son Alexander should be

:
: therefore one should address Constantine as
: king, but, after his departure, his son
: Pavlos should be addressed as Prince.
:
: All those kings (Simeon ??) did not
: renounce, so IMHO they are entitle to be

:
: Take the dutch case: When Queen Juliana

: Princess.
: She was no longer queen but because she
: choosed to, she was not overthroned.
:
: It's a different situation from that of
: other pretenders (e.g. Russia, Serbia, the
