Original sentence: A law stating that Constantine cannot be granted a Greek passport unless he signs a formal declaration recognising the Republic still remains in force.As an exiled monarch who had not abdicated, unlike Michael of Romania and Simeon of Bulgaria, Constantine is still formally referred to internationally as King of Greece though as a courtesy title, not a constitutional office.Constantine is frequently mocked in the left-wing Greek press, where he is frequently referred to as Mr.Constantine refuses to comply as a matter of principle.Critics dismiss such attitudes as racist.However, he now travels in and out of Greece without problems, on a Danish diplomatic passport as "Constantine De Grecia" (Spanish for "Constantine of Greece"), and has done so several times in the past few years.This practice is meant to stress the notion that Constantine is not of ethnic Greek origin
Edited sentence: A law stating that Constantine cannot be granted a Greek passport unless he signs a formal declaration recognising the republic still remains in force, but Constantine refuses to comply with it.His insistence on using royal titles is frequently mocked in the Greek press, where he is frequently referred to as "o Teos" ("the former").However, he now travels in and out of Greece without problems, on a Danish diplomatic passport, as "Constantine De Grecia" (Spanish for "Constantine of Greece"), and has done so several times in the past few years.This attitude continues to arouse strong hostility on the left in Greece, and makes it unlikely that he will ever be able to return to Greece to live.Unlike other former European ex-monarchs such as Michael of Romania and Simeon of Bulgaria, Constantine maintains he is still legally King, despite the fact that, unlike them, he was deposed following a democratic decision of the people of his country
