Achileas-Andreas who goes by the stage name of Achi Miller is setting his sights on a Hollywood career

A royal heir has launched a new career away from what fans may expect and is now setting his sights on the movie industry.

Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece, the heir to the defunct monarchy often maintains a low profile and occasionally joins his relatives, including the British royals at public events. But away from his private life, the 25-year-old is now hoping to make a name for himself outside of the royal fold.

Constantine, who is named after his late grandfather is no stranger to the showbiz circuit though, having modelled for the likes of Dior. But now, the American-born royal has been announced as the producer and director behind a new movie, starring his younger brother, Prince Achileas-Andreas, 23.

Taking to Instagram, the New York-born royal and actor who goes by the stage name of Achi Miller shared a snippet from the upcoming short film, Between the Buckets to his Instagram page. In the trailer, the royal could be seen smoking a prop cigarette in a scene alongside a co-star. During the clip, his character whose name remains unknown is punched in the face by Jack, played by Spartan Daggenhurst, with his cigarette flying out of the car.

Captioning the clip, Achi penned: "A little preview of 'Between the Buckets' - a short film by my brother Constantine Alexios. @alexiosgreece." His upload which has gained over 6,000 likes in just a matter of hours was flooded with support from his 396,000 followers on the social media site.

"Yes boyyyyys," commented one. While a second added: "Brilliantly made - cinematography, music, frames and performance on point - impressive! Great job @achi_of_greece and alexios!" A third typed: "Achiiiiii this is your freaking calling. Did not see that punch coming."

Meanwhile, Spartan joked: "Hope I didn't leave too much of a bruise." Although it may be Constantine's first time in the showbiz industry, Achileas has already found his calling. Despite previously modelling for huge fashion brands, the second eldest son of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Prince Marie-Chantal made guest appearances in the American soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful between 2017 and 2019. In 2022, he also starred as Nick in the short film Just Noise.

But in 2023, he landed himself a small role in the movie No Hard Feelings as a party-loving teenager, produced by Hollywood icon Jennifer Lawrence. Following the release, his royal relatives couldn't contain their excitement as they shared how proud they were. Crown Prince Pavlos commented: "Loved the scene and you looked great on the big silver screen. Keep going." While his mum, Marie-Chantal penned: "Love."
