Prince Achileas-Andreas of Greece and Denmark (Greek: Αχιλλέας Ανδρέας, born 12 August 2000), known by the stage name Achi Miller, is an actor, socialite, and member of the former Greek royal family and the extended Danish royal family. He is the second son and third child of Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece and Marie-Chantal Miller. His paternal grandparents are Constantine II of Greece and Anne-Marie of Denmark, who were the last King and Queen of the Hellenes. He made his acting debut in 2017 in the American soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful and was in the 2023 American comedy film No Hard Feelings.

Early life and education

Achileas-Andreas was born on 12 August 2000 at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. He was christened in a Greek Orthodox ceremony at St. Sophia's Cathedral in London on 7 June 2001.

He grew up in London from 2004 when his family decided to move to the United Kingdom to stay near his paternal grandparents. He was educated at Wellington College in Berkshire. He moved back to New York when his older brother and sister started university. He attended New York University, graduating in 2023.

Personal life

On September 28, 2024, Achileas-Andreas served as a groomsman at the wedding of Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark and Matthew Kumar at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Athens.

Achileas-Andreas was in a relationship with Isabella Massenet, daughter of Dame Natalie Massenet, until October 2024.

On 19 December 2024, Achileas-Andreas, his father, his four siblings, and his aunts and uncles submitted an application for Greek citizenship, which had been stripped from the family in 1994. Under law, Achileas-Andreas and his family, in order to receive citizenship, must pledge allegiance to the republican constitution and have a surname. Ultimately, the surname of "Ντε Γκρες" (De Grèce; "of Greece") was chosen. Of this, the Deputy Minister to the Greek Prime Minister, Pavlos Marinakis, said to Action 24 that their "request was made in accordance with the law", while the left-wing SYRIZA party stated "the choice of family name is problematic". The following day, Achileas-Andreas's citizenship, alongside that of his family, was reinstated according to the provisions of the 1994 law. Their citizenships were granted to them by Minister of the Interior, Theodoros Livanios.

Career

Between 2017 and 2019, he made guest appearances on the American television soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. Under the stage name of Achi Miller, he got a small role in Jennifer Lawrence's 2023 movie No Hard Feelings.
