He was born 2 August 1868 in Athens. He married, on 27 October 1889 in Athens, Princess Sophie of Prussia (1870-1932). They were parents of:

He succeeded to the throne of Greece on 18 March 1913 following his father's assassination. He left Greece on 11 June 1917 as he had to abdicate because of his pro-German sentiments and was succeeded to the throne by his second son Alexander as acting King. Alexander died 25 October 1920 and following a plebiscite, Constantine returned as king 19 December 1920. He abdicated the throne on 27 September 1922, and was succeeded by his eldest son, George II.
