He no longer had these titles to pass on to his children. He didn't become a Prince again until 1957. Neither Prince Charles, nor Prince William and Prince Harry are princes of Greece and Denmark. |

Technically speaking they would still have these titles as Prince Phillip only renounced these titles in Britain. The renunciation would have no legal authority in Denmark or Greece. The same goes for the myriad German titles renounced by George V. i.e. Duke of Brunswick, Saxony and Saxe Coburg Gotha. Though the Weimar Republic outlawed German titles two years late in 1919.

Philips renounciation of his Greek titles and succession rights was given the approval of the King of the Hellenes, that is why his children and male line grandchildren aren't princes or princesses of Greece. I'm not sure If the Danish title was properly renounced, though I do know that he and his descendants were removed from succession circa 1952 by Danish law.
