Greek Royal Family: Past, Present and Future

[Rearden]

Yes, Cecilie was the one that died in a plane crush while she was pregnant. She looks pretty here, but there's always a but...She had joined the Nazi party with her husband in 1937.

and the first husband of sophie was also connected to nazis  but many german royals were, even the the pope was

She was the daughter of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich of Russia, and so she was a granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I and first cousin of Tsar Alexander III.
She got married to the new king of greece when she was sixteen!

She was still so young that when she went to Greece for the first time, she took a chest full of her favorite dolls.

Olga was politically savvy though.  When she embarked from the boat, she wore a gown with the colors of the Greek flag and the crowds went wild.  She was loved from day one.  It also helped she was Orthodox, too.

Olga and her grand daughters are beautiful, do you have a mini run down on the grand daughters and who they married?

I'm not Rearden but I hope I can help with this, too.

Princess Helene married the Crown Prince of Rumania, Carol.  Their marriage was a disaster.  Her son is the current ex-King Michael.

Princess Marina married the Duke of Kent.  Her two sisters, Olga and Elisabeth, married Prince Paul of Yugoslavia and Count Theodor of Toerring-Jettenbach respectively.

Princess Katherine married morgantically to an english gentleman named Richard Brandam.  She was the last surviving great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

Princess Sophie married first to Prince Cristoph of Hesse and then secondly to Prince George William of Hannover.

Princess Theodora married the Margrave of Baden, Berthold.

Princess Cecilie married Georg Donatus, Heriditary Grand Duke of Hesse.

Princess Margarita married a prince of Hohenloe-Langenburg.

Princess Irene married the Duke of Aosta, Amadeo.

I'm pretty sure I am missing other granddaughters but these are the only ones whose marriages I know of.

I hope I'm right on this, I think the only one who married a commoner was King Alexander, whose wife's name doesn't come to mind right now. All the other Greek royals, either men or women, married royals. Rearden, congratulations on this milestone!

[Badger]

I believe King Alexander's wife was named Aspasia Manos.

Also, Princess Margarita's husband was later the reigning Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.

Congratulations, Rearden!

Alexander's sister, Princess Katherine, married a commoner, as well.  She had a very interesting life.
