Happy Birthday to Queen Anne-Marie of Greece! The youngest daughter of King Frederik IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden, her elder sister is Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, her sister-in-law is Queen Sofia of Spain, her cousin is King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, and other relatives include King Harald V of Norway and the Duke of Edinburgh. In 1964, Princess Anne-Marie married her childhood sweetheart King Constantine II of Greece at the age of 18. The couple have five children; Crown Prince Pavlos, Princess Alexia, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora, and Prince Philippos, and nine grandchildren, and she was Queen of Greece for three years before having to flee the country after a military coup. The family lived in Italy for six years until the monarchy was abolished in 1973, before moving to London, where they lived for 40 years. Recently, King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie were allowed to return to Greece, and now reside in a Villa in Porto Heli. Related to most royal families, Queen Anne-Marie is regularly seen at foreign royal events. Queen Anne Marie continues to reside in Greece following King Constantine’s passing in 2023. We wish HM a very Happy Birthday and many Happy Returns!

On September 18, 1964, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark at the time) tied the knot with King Constantine II of Greece in Athens. For her big day, the bride wore a wedding dress, featuring three-quarter-length sleeves, a boat neckline, and a belted waistband, designed by Jorgen Bender. Just three years after they said "I do," a military coup forced the Greek family into exile, and they accidentally left the royal’s gown at Tatoi Palace. Now, more than 55 years later, the queen's long-lost wedding dress has been found.
Greek journalist Andreas Magos reported the discovery on Instagram on November 13, 2023. The caption, written in Greek, translates to, “Here is the wedding dress of Queen Anne-Marie located in Tatoi, where a few days ago, it was revealed among the personal belongings of the royal family preserved and kept there. Perhaps this will also be exhibited in the Museum, Palace of Tatoi.” According to Town & Country, the palace is going to function as a museum, so it’s currently undergoing renovations. During the process, workers have found many other royal heirlooms.
Along with the caption, Magos uploaded a collection of photos featuring the long-lost wedding dress. The first image in the carousel shows a split-screen collage, with a bridal portrait of Anne-Marie on her wedding day beside a shot of the gown today. The second photo shows a closer look at the current state of the ensemble, which is suspended from a hanger with the 20-foot train draped across the floor. The final snap exhibits a silver case, engraved with the queen’s initials, where the getup was stored all of these years.
On her wedding day, the bride completed her outfit with a veil made of Irish lace. According to royal blog Unofficial Royalty, the accessory was an heirloom that was first introduced to the royal family when Anne-Marie’s grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught, received it as a wedding gift during her nuptials to future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden in 1905. To hold the veil in place, Anne-Marie donned the Khedive of Egypt Tiara, which was another one of her grandmother Margaret’s wedding gifts.

Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark and his wife, Nina Flohr—now Princess Nina of Greece and Denmark—married in a religious ceremony at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens on Saturday. The wedding featured all of the pomp and circumstance that typically accompanies a royal wedding, even though the family is now no longer reigning. The ceremony marked the first time a Greek royal has married at the cathedral since Prince Philippos’s parents, King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie, said their vows there in 1964. It was also the first religious event held there for a member of the family since the christening of Prince Philippos’s older brother Prince Pavlos in 1967, just before the fall of the Greek monarchy.
In a “Royals, They’re Just Like Us” moment, Prince Philippos and Princess Nina had a micro-wedding in December 2020, like so many other couples impacted by the pandemic. Only their fathers served as the witnesses for their intimate ceremony in St. Moritz. In June of 2021, they had a wedding party at Stibbington House, the Cambridge home of Thomas Philip Naylor-Leland and Alice Naylor-Leland.
Princess Nina, who previously worked as the creative director of VistaJet, a private jet company started by her father Thomas Flohr, is no stranger to fashion (one of her most notable initiatives was collaborating with Moncler on cabin crew uniforms). For this third celebration, the bride—who is now the founder and creative director of the luxury hotel Kisawa Sanctuary and the founder of the environmental conservation center Bazaruto Center for Scientific Studies, wore a Chanel gown with her mother-in-law’s antique Corsage Tiara, featuring diamonds and pearls. The tiara was a gift to Queen Anne-Marie on her 18th birthday from her mother. Princess Marie-Chantal also wore it when she married Prince Pavlos in 1995.
The nuptials brought out royals from across Europe. Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank were in attendance, representing Great Britain. (Prince Philippos is a godson of Princess Diana.) Queen Sofia of Spain, Prince Ernst August and Princess Ekaterina of Hanover, Prince Christian and Princess Alessandra of Hanover, and Princess Tatiana Radziwill were all also in attendance. After the ceremony, the reception was held at the National Gymnastics Association.

“I do not envy him, the poor guy,” Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark said when his cousin King Charles III succeeded to the throne of the United Kingdom. “He does it with dedication. But I would not like that job at all.”
Michael and Charles were related via Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, whose father and Prince Michael’s father were brothers — but their lives were to take very different courses.
Almost 60 years before Charles’s ascension, Prince Michael had renounced his right of succession and those of his descendants to the Greek throne. It was not a renunciation as seismic in its consequences as the abdication of Edward VIII, for Prince Michael was only third in line to the Greek throne and

Born on 30 August 1946, the royal was born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, the youngest of three daughters born to King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. Her older sisters are Queen Margrethe II of Denmark (who recently made headlines due to her decision to strip four of her grandchildren of their royal titles) and Princess Benedikte of Denmark.
The sisters are related to the British Royal Family though their maternal grandmother Princess Margaret of Connaught, who was daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. This made Anne-Marie a third cousin of both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Anne-Marie is also the first cousin of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, the second cousin of King Harald V of Norway and a third cousin of King Juan Carlos I of Spain (father of King Felipe VI).

Money, power and beauty. Following Prince Michael of Greece's death, discover why the Greek royal family have been hailed the world’s ‘most glamorous’
This complex family tree is reflected in Anne-Marie’s dazzling list of godparents. Among them were representatives from five European monarchies, including Britain’s Queen Mary (wife of King George V).
Anne-Marie spent her formative years living between Danish royal palaces in Copenhagen and North Zealand. She was less than a year old when her father ascended the throne as King Frederick IX, following the death of her grandfather Christian X. At the time, only male heirs were recognised in the line of succession. However, this was changed in 1953 and Margrethe, Frederick’s eldest daughter, became heir apparent. Benedikte and Anne-Marie were second and third in line to the throne.

Like Queen Elizabeth II, Anne-Marie was only a teenager when she met her future husband. Constantine, a distant cousin, was introduced to the young princess while accompanying his parents King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece, on a state visit to Denmark in 1959. The pair crossed paths several times over the next few years, including at the wedding of Constantine’s sister Princess Sofia of Greece and Denmark (now Queen Sofia of Spain) to the then Prince Juan Carlos of Spain (the future King Juan Carlos I). Constantine and Anne-Marie announced their engagement in July 1964, four months after he had succeeded his father as King of the Hellenes.
Following a military coup in 1967, and an unsuccessful counter-coup, Constantine II and his family were exiled. Queen Anne-Marie, along with the rest of her family lived in a number of places including Britain and Italy. The monarchy was ultimately abolished in 1973 and Constantine II was later stripped of his Greek citizenship. Anne-Marie was not allowed to return to her beloved country until 1981 where she was allowed to attend the funeral of her mother-in-law. Constantine II returned to Greece amidst the financial crash, when the country's rich were fleeing and its youth were leaving in order to find a better life. He invested heavily in the country.

Prince William and Kate will embrace a poignant leadership role on the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death
King Charles III will be supported by Prince William and Kate as he spend the day privately in Balmoral
In January this year, Constantine II died of a stroke aged 82. Representatives from Europe's royal families made the journey to Athens to support Anne-Marie and her family. During his funeral, she paid tribute to her beloved husband in two important ways. First, she wore the crucifix that she wore on her wedding day. She also wore a wreath made up of white lilies, which was the same flower that was used for her bridal bouquet.
Undoubtedly, the death of her beloved husband will mean this birthday is particularly poignant for Queen Anne-Marie.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece wore a poignant piece of jewelry to the funeral of her late husband King Constantine II.
The Queen, 76, led the group of mourners who gathered for the funeral of King Constantine, who died last Tuesday at age 82. Constantine had reportedly suffered from chronic heart and mobility problems and died of a stroke after being hospitalized for breathing problems, according to The Guardian.
The King was laid to rest in Athens on Monday, where his widow wore the same diamond cross necklace she debuted on their wedding day. Constantine married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in September 1964, and the royals celebrated their 58th-anniversary last fall.
Constantine became King in 1964 at age 23 following the death of his father King Paul and married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark months later.

Constantine, who won a gold medal in sailing for his country at the 1960 Olympics, acceded the throne weeks after a vote gave control to the Center Union party over the conservatives, the Associated Press reported. Constantine later had a falling out with Prime Minister George Papandreou over control of the armed forces that led to a coup in 1967, driving him and his family to flee to Rome.
The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, but Constantine continued to use royal titles for himself and his family members. He lived most of his years in exile in Hampstead Garden Suburb in London, returning to live in Greece in 2010.
He is survived by his wife Queen Anne-Marie, their five children — Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos — and nine grandchildren, the Associated Press reported.

In the ever-connected European royal family tree, Prince Philip was first cousins with King Constantine, and Princess Anne (pictured below left) served as a bridesmaid at his wedding to Queen Anne-Marie. Princess Anne, 73, attended Constantine's funeral in Athens on Monday, standing in for her brother King Charles III. Likewise, Lady Gabriella Windsor was at the solemn service in Prince William's stead.

It is customary for senior royals in Britain to send relatives or close friends and aides to funerals on their behalf. The late Queen Elizabeth only rarely attended funerals. King Charles appears to be following the same custom and sending a family member instead.

Constantine's funeral was somewhat of a reunion for world royals. Prince Albert of Monaco was among the mourners joining royals from all over Europe paying tribute to Constantine. King Felipe and his wife Queen Letizia were also in attendance, as was Queen Margrethe of Denmark, the late King's sister-in-law.
Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were among the congregation along with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, as well as Prince Haakon of Norway and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.

Constantine II, Greece’s final king, died on January 13, 2023. He was 83 years old. A figure who ignited controversy and was much-loved by royalists, Constantine was married to the former queen Anne-Marie of Denmark in 1964. He had five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora, and Philip.
Ascent and exile
The only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece, Constantine took to the throne at the age of 23. His reign lasted a short three years. His reign came during a time of political instability. After the Colonels’ Coup of April 1967, Constantine inaugurated the junta. Following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta, Constantine fled into exile on December 13, 1967. He formally remained the head of state in exile until the monarchy was officially abolished in June 1973.
A controversial figure, Constantine repeatedly stated that he recognized the Republic, the laws, and the constitution of Greece following the abolition of the monarchy. He told Time, “If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it.
Personal life and Olympics
Prior to serving as king, Constantine won a gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics for sailing. He was an avid sailor, as well as a strong swimmer, and had a black belt in karate. An athletic man, he also enjoyed squash, track events, and riding. Constantine became a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).]
Constantine and Anne-Marie for many years lived in London for many years. He was a close friend of his second cousin Charles III and a godfather to William, Prince of Wales.
Constantine returned to Greece temporarily during the 2004 Athens Olympic Games as a member of the International Olympic Committee.
In 1992, the royal family’s assets in Greece, notably the estates of Mon Repos in Corfu, Tatoi in Athens, and Polydendri in Larissa were ceded to a nonprofit organization.

Death and legacy
Royals from around the world traveled to Athens this week to pay their respects to Constantine II.
The funeral was held privately, which Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis explained made sense as the former king was the leader of the “Kingdom of Greece, which no longer exists.” Many felt Constantine was unfairly exiled, and the royal family remains a contentious topic.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, Queen Consort of the Hellenes is the wife of King Constantine II of Greece. Queen Anne-Marie was born on 30th August 1946 at the Amalienborg Palace as she is a member of the Danish Royal Family. She was born the third daughter of the Crown Prince later to become King Frederick IX of Denmark, and his wife, former Princess Ingrid of Sweden.
Anne-Marie grew up moving around the Danish royal palaces including Amalienborg, Fredensborg Palace in Northern Zealand and the summer palace, Gråsten Palace in Southern Jutland. Then, like her sisters before her, she went to N Zahles School for Girls, a private school in Copenhagen, between 1952 and 1961. It was towards the end of this time, aged 13 in 1959, she had her first meeting with her King Constantine, then Crown Prince of Greece. He came to Denmark with his parents, King Paul and Queen Frederica on a state visit.
Her education then took her to Montreux, first at an English boarding school and then a finishing school. During this time, her path and that of Prince Constantine kept passing. Following another meeting in Denmark in 1961, the Prince declared to his parents that Anne-Marie was the girl he wished to marry. They met again in Athens in May 1962 when Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Constantine’s sister (Sophia – later changed to Spanish variant Sofía) to Prince Juan Carlos of Spain. Anne-Marie also joined the celebrations for the century of the Greek monarchy in 1963.
The couple got engaged in July 1964, some four months after the death of Constantine’s father King Paul. They were married in the September, just after Anne-Marie’s eighteenth birthday; before the wedding, she had become a member of the Greek Orthodox Church and renounced her and her heirs claim to the Danish crown. However, their reign was not a happy one. In 1967, there was a military coup in Greece and an after an attempted counter-coup, which failed, they fled as a family first to Italy where they stayed for five years. They then moved to England in 1973.
Anne-Marie and Constantine have five children: Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos. In 1980, they opened the Hellenic College of London, a bi-lingual school where all her children were educated, and Anne-Marie is still the chairman. Constantine has also made peace with the republican government in Greece, and all the family have been back there. In 2003, Anne-Marie and her husband set up the Anne-Marie Fund from compensation they received for their property that was seized. Money from this fund goes to aid Greek citizens following natural disasters – such as the earthquakes which hit the Greek islands recently.
The King and Queen have lived in Greece since 2013.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece symbolically wore the glittering cross necklace from her royal wedding in 1964

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece wore a poignant piece of jewelry to the funeral of her late husband King Constantine II.
The Queen, 76, led the group of mourners who gathered for the funeral of King Constantine, who died last Tuesday at age 82. Constantine had reportedly suffered from chronic heart and mobility problems and died of a stroke after being hospitalized for breathing problems, according to The Guardian.
The King was laid to rest in Athens on Monday, where his widow wore the same diamond cross necklace she debuted on their wedding day. Constantine married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in September 1964, and the royals celebrated their 58th-anniversary last fall.
Constantine became King in 1964 at age 23 following the death of his father King Paul and married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark months later.
Constantine, who won a gold medal in sailing for his country at the 1960 Olympics, acceded the throne weeks after a vote gave control to the Center Union party over the conservatives, the Associated Press reported. Constantine later had a falling out with Prime Minister George Papandreou over control of the armed forces that led to a coup in 1967, driving him and his family to flee to Rome.
The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, but Constantine continued to use royal titles for himself and his family members. He lived most of his years in exile in Hampstead Garden Suburb in London, returning to live in Greece in 2010.
He is survived by his wife Queen Anne-Marie, their five children — Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos — and nine grandchildren, the Associated Press reported.
In the ever-connected European royal family tree, Prince Philip was first cousins with King Constantine, and Princess Anne (pictured below left) served as a bridesmaid at his wedding to Queen Anne-Marie. Princess Anne, 73, attended Constantine's funeral in Athens on Monday, standing in for her brother King Charles III. Likewise, Lady Gabriella Windsor was at the solemn service in Prince William's stead.
It is customary for senior royals in Britain to send relatives or close friends and aides to funerals on their behalf. The late Queen Elizabeth only rarely attended funerals. King Charles appears to be following the same custom and sending a family member instead.
Constantine's funeral was somewhat of a reunion for world royals. Prince Albert of Monaco was among the mourners joining royals from all over Europe paying tribute to Constantine. King Felipe and his wife Queen Letizia were also in attendance, as was Queen Margrethe of Denmark, the late King's sister-in-law.
Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were among the congregation along with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, as well as Prince Haakon of Norway and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.

Happy Birthday to King Constantine of Greece! The only son of then Crown Prince Paul of Greece and Princess Frederica of Hanover, his older sister is Queen Sofia of Spain, and the younger sister is Princess Irene. Spending WWII in South Africa, in 1947, his uncle died, and his father succeeded to the throne, making him Crown Prince Constantine. Educated in Athens, he competed in the 1960 Rome Olympics, winning the Gold Medal in Sailing, and is an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee.
In 1964, King Paul died suddenly, and he succeeded to the throne as King Constantine II of Greece. Later that year, King Constantine married 18-year old Princess Anne Marie of Denmark, his childhood sweetheart. The couple have five children; Crown Prince Pavlos, Princess Alexia, Prince Nikolaos, Prince Philippos, and Princess Theodora, and nine grandchildren. In April 1967, a group of colonels overthrew the democratic government, and established a military junta. After the King led a failed counter-coup later that year, the Royal Family were forced to flee to Rome.

In 1973, a referendum abolished the Monarchy. The Royal Family moved to London. A close friend of his British Royal cousins, the King is a godfather of the Prince of Wales. The Prince, in turn, is a godfather of King Constantine’s eldest grandson, Prince Constantine Alexios, a son of Crown Prince Pavlos. King Constantine and Queen Anne Marie have regularly attend Royal Events in Denmark, Spain, the UK, Sweden, and Norway, where the monarchs are their relatives. Not allowed to enter the country for many years, King Constantine and Queen Anne Marie moved back to Greece in 2012, where they reside in Porto Heli.
King Constantine II of Greece passed away at the age of 82 in January 2023, one day short of the centenary of the death of his namesake Grandfather, King Constantine I of Greece.

He rose to the throne in 1964, left the country three years later and spent decades in exile

Constantine, the former and last king of Greece who spent decades in exile, died Tuesday. He was 82.
Doctors at the private Hygeia Hospital in Athens confirmed to The Associated Press that Constantine died late Tuesday after treatment in an intensive care unit but had no further details pending an official announcement.
When he rose to the throne as Constantine II 1964 at the age of 23, the youthful monarch who had achieved glory as an Olympic gold medalist in sailing was hugely popular. By the following year he had squandered much of that support with his active involvement in the machinations that brought down the elected Center Union government of Prime Minister George Papandreou.
The episode involving the defection from the ruling party of several lawmakers, still widely known in Greece as the "apostasy," destabilized the constitutional order and led to a military coup in 1967. Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile.
The dictatorship abolished the monarchy in 1973; a referendum after democracy was restored in 1974 dashed any hopes that Constantine had of ever reigning again.
Reduced in the following decades to only fleeting visits to Greece that raised a political and media storm each time, he was able to settle again in his home country in his waning years when opposing his presence no longer held currency as a badge of vigilant republicanism. With minimal nostalgia for the monarchy in Greece, Constantine became a relatively uncontroversial figure.
Constantine was born June 2, 1940, in Athens, to Prince Paul, younger brother to King George II and heir presumptive to the throne, and Princess Frederica of Hanover. His older sister Sophia is the wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain. The Greek-born Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh and husband of the late Queen Elizabeth II, was a relative.
The family, which had ruled in Greece from 1863 apart from a 12-year republican interlude in 1922-1935, was descended from Prince Christian, later Christian IX of Denmark, of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluecksburg branch of the Danish ruling family.
Before Constantine's first birthday, the royal family was forced to flee Greece during the German invasion in World War II, moving to Alexandria in Egypt, South Africa and back to Alexandria. King George II returned to Greece in 1946, following a disputed referendum, but died a few months later, making Constantine the heir to King Paul I.
Constantine was educated at a boarding school and then attended three military academies as well as Athens Law School classes as preparation for his future role. He also competed in various sports, including sailing and karate, in which he held a black belt.
In 1960, at age 20, he and two other Greek sailors won a gold medal in the Dragon Class — now no longer an Olympic class — at the Rome Olympics. While still a prince, Constantine was elected a member of the International Olympic Committee and became an honorary member for life in 1974.
King Paul I died of cancer on March 6, 1964, and Constantine succeeded him, weeks after the Center Union party had triumphed over the conservatives with 53% of the vote.
The prime minister, George Papandreou, and Constantine initially had a very close relationship, but it soon soured over Constantine's insistence that control of the armed forces was the monarch's prerogative.
With many officers toying with the idea of a dictatorship and viewing any non-conservative government as soft on communism, Papandreou wanted to control the ministry of defense and eventually demanded to be appointed defense minister. After an acrimonious exchange of letters with Constantine, Papandreou resigned in July 1965.
Constantine's insistence on appointing a government composed of centrist defectors that won a narrow parliamentary majority on the third try was hugely unpopular. Many viewed him as being manipulated by his scheming mother, dowager Queen Frederica.
"The people don't want you, take your mother and go!" became the rallying cry in the protests that rocked Greece in the summer of 1965.
Eventually, Constantine made a truce of sorts with Papandreou and, with his agreement, appointed a government of technocrats and then a conservative-led government to hold an election in May 1967.
But, with the polls heavily favoring the Center Union and with Papandreou's left-leaning son, Andreas, gaining in popularity, Constantine and his courtiers feared revenge and prepared a coup. They were instead surprised by a coup led by a group of lower-ranking officers who proclaimed a dictatorship on April 21, 1967.
On Dec. 13, 1967, Constantine and his family flew to the northern city of Kavala with the intention of marching on Thessaloniki and setting up a government there. His counter coup, badly managed and infiltrated, collapsed and Constantine was forced to flee to Rome the following day. He would never return as reigning king.
To his final days, Constantine, while accepting that Greece was now a republic, continued to style himself King of Greece and his children as princes and princesses even though Greece no longer recognized titles of nobility.
For most of his years in exile he lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, and was said to be especially close to his second cousin Charles, the Prince of Wales and now King Charles III.
While it took Constantine 14 years to return to his country briefly to bury his mother, Queen Frederica in 1981, his visits increased and, from 2010, made his home there.
He is survived by his wife, the former Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II; five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos; and nine grandchildren.

King Constantine II of Greece and Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark were married on September 18, 1964, in the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Annunciation in Athens.

Constantine’s Early Life
Constantine was born on June 2, 1940, at Villa Psychiko in Athens to Crown Prince Paul of Greece and Princess Friederike of Hanover. He has one older sister – Queen Sofia of Spain, and one younger sister – Princess Irene of Greece. During World War II, the Greek Royal Family was forced to flee Greece, settling in Alexandria, Egypt, and then Cape Town, South Africa. They returned to Greece in 1946, and the following year, his uncle, King George II died. Constantine’s father became King, and Constantine became Crown Prince.
He attended school in Athens from 1949-1955, followed by all three Greek military academies. He then went to the National University of Athens to study law. An avid athlete, Tino (as he was known in the family) participated in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, winning a gold medal in sailing (Dragon Glass). This was Greece’s first gold medal in 48 years. He became a member of the International Olympic Committee in 1963.
He became King of the Hellenes following his father’s death in March 1964. Just three years after the wedding, following a coup in 1967, the Greek royal family went into exile, living in Rome for several years before moving to Denmark and then finally settling in the United Kingdom. While in exile, King Constantine was deposed and the monarchy was formally abolished in 1974.

Anne-Marie’s Early Life
Embed from Getty Images
Princess Anne-Marie Dagmar Ingrid of Denmark was born on August 30, 1946, at Amalienborg in Copenhagen. She is the third and youngest daughter of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden. Her two older sisters are Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Princess Benedikte of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. A year after her birth, her grandfather died, and her father became King Frederik IX. Several years later, the King had the succession laws changed to allow for female succession, putting Anne-Marie third in line to succeed her father.
After attending a private school in Copenhagen from 1952-1961, Anne-Marie was enrolled at the Chatelard School for Girls, a boarding school in Switzerland, from 1961-1963. She then attended the Institut Le Mesnil, a Swiss finishing school.

The Engagement
Constantine and Anne-Marie are third cousins, several times over, through their mutual descent from both King Christian IX of Denmark and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. They first met in 1959, when Constantine accompanied his parents on a State Visit to Denmark. Constantine was 19, and Anne-Marie was just 13. They met again in Denmark in 1961, but it was in 1962 that the romance truly began to blossom. Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Constantine’s sister, Sophia, to Juan Carlos of Spain. By that time, Tino was clearly smitten and the two spent much of the night dancing together. After that, Tino made many visits to Denmark to see Anne-Marie, and the media began to speculate about a romance with Anne-Marie’s older sister Benedikte. In the summer of 1962, Anne-Marie was on holiday in Norway with her governess, and Tino was also there competing in yacht racing. They spent a lot of time together, and soon he proposed, and Anne-Marie accepted. His parents were delighted with the news, but the Danish King was hesitant to give his blessing. Soon, however, he realized that the two were in love and he relented, giving his consent. However, there were several conditions that had to be met. He insisted that the wedding could not take place until Anne-Marie had finished her education and reached her eighteenth birthday and that the engagement could not be made public until the beginning of the next year.
For the next six months, the couple kept their engagement a secret, while Constantine made many trips to Denmark, often using sailing events as an excuse for his visits. Finally, on January 23, 1963, the Danish Royal Court announced the couple’s engagement. Several days later, Constantine and Anne-Marie, along with their parents, appeared at a press conference and then greeted the crowds from the balcony at Amalienborg.
Once the excitement had died down, Anne-Marie returned to School in Switzerland and Tino returned to his official duties in Greece. The wedding was planned for January 1965. However, this would soon change due to the death of King Paul. In early 1964, King Paul was diagnosed with cancer. After undergoing surgery, he suffered from a pulmonary embolism and died on March 6, 1964. Tino assumed the Greek throne as King Constantine II. The wedding plans were moved forward and scheduled for September 18, 1964. This would be just weeks after Anne-Marie’s eighteenth birthday, and days after the end of the official court mourning.
Pre-Wedding Festivities
The celebrations began on September 7, 1964, when Constantine arrived in Denmark. That evening, a private dinner and dance were held at Fredensborg Castle, and the following day they returned to Amalienborg for the official display of the wedding gifts. That evening, they attended a gala performance at the Royal Theatre, followed by a lavish banquet held at Christiansborg Palace, with over 1,000 invited guests. The next morning, Anne-Marie and Tino were guests at a reception held by the City of Copenhagen and rode in a carriage procession through the streets to greet the thousands of Danes who had come out to wish them well.
The festivities then moved to Greece. Constantine, Anne-Marie, and her family sailed to Greece aboard the Danish Royal Yacht, Dannebrog, where they were greeted by Queen Frederica, Princess Irene, and Prince Michael.
King Constantine hosted three large receptions at Tatoi Palace, with more than 6,000 guests invited. A special committee had been formed in Athens to select people from around the country to come – at the Government’s expense – to meet the King and his future Queen. A reception was also held at the Hotel Grande Bretagne, in Athens, in honor of the Danish royal family.
On September 16, most of the royal guests began to arrive, and King Constantine personally greeted most of them as their planes landed in Athens. That evening, a gala ball was held in the gardens of the Royal Palace of Athens, with 1,600 invited guests. The royal guests were resplendent in their gowns and uniforms, with their best jewels on show. The bride wore a light blue gown with the Greek Emerald Parure, which was among the jewels given to her by Queen Frederica. Read more about the parure here.

More than 1,200 guests attended the wedding, including many members of royal and noble families from around the world.

Her veil of Irish lace was a family heirloom. It was originally a gift to her grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught, for her wedding to the future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden in 1905. Holding the veil in place, Anne-Marie wore the Khedive of Egypt Tiara, another piece that goes back to her grandmother’s wedding, having been a wedding gift from the Khedive of Egypt. You can read more about the tiara here. Keeping with tradition, both the veil and the tiara have been worn by all of Queen Ingrid’s female descendants.
The groom wore his white Field Marshal’s uniform, adorned with several Greek and Danish orders and medals.
The bride’s attendants (listed below) wore simple gowns of white organza, with white flowers in their hair.

Wedding Ceremony
On the morning of September 18, 1964, with all of the guests already assembled at the Cathedral, King Constantine, accompanied by his mother, left the Royal Palace in an open carriage. Soon, he was followed by Princess Anne-Marie and her father. The bride’s attendants were waiting outside the cathedral to help her with her gown and train, and then the procession began.
The traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony was conducted by Archbishop Chrysostomos, the Primate of Greece. After hearing the sacraments of marriage, the two exchanged rings and took communion. Part of the service involved crowns being held over their heads. This was done first by Queen Frederica, and then by a succession of princes – Crown Prince Harald of Norway, Crown Prince Carl Gustaf of Sweden, The Prince of Wales, Prince Michael of Greece, Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia, Prince Ingolf of Denmark, Prince Michael of Kent, Prince Karl of Hesse and Count Michael Bernadotte.
At the end of the service, red and white rose petals fluttered down into the cathedral, as the couple embraced her parents, and the Dowager Queen Frederica curtsied to Greece’s new Queen.
Following the ceremony, the King and his new Queen led a carriage procession back to the Royal Palace where a wedding breakfast was held for 80 guests. Constantine and Anne-Marie then left for Corfu to begin their honeymoon.

It was a marriage that sealed a famous love story and turned a princess into a queen. On September 18th 1964, royalty from across Europe gathered in Athens to see the continent’s newest monarch wed a bride who had just turned eighteen. Constantine II of Greece and Anne-Marie of Denmark’s romance has since weathered political crises and exile – here’s a look back at a very royal wedding indeed.
Their path to the altar had begun five years earlier when the then Crown Prince Constantine, only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece, had accompanied his parents on a State Visit to Denmark. There, they had been hosted by King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid and their three daughters, among them Anne-Marie. Two years later, Constantine and Anne-Marie met again in Denmark, and by the time she acted as bridesmaid to his sister, Sofía, in Athens in May 1962, the couple were smitten.

The Crown Prince of Greece proposed to his Danish princess that summer, but her father had other ideas about marriage. King Frederik insisted that his daughter, still just sixteen, had to complete her education before any wedding could take place while the couple also had to wait to make their engagement public.
The confirmation that the pair were to wed finally came on January 23rd 1963. Twenty-two-year-old Constantine travelled to Copenhagen for the announcement, appearing on the balcony of the Amalienborg Palace with his bride and her family. The wedding was due to take place two years later. However, the death of King Paul in March 1964 turned Constantine into a monarch. Suddenly, marriage plans were accelerated, and the ceremony was set for September that year.

The bride arrived in her new home country in the week before her wedding, having taken part in several days of celebrations back in Denmark. A gala dinner for the couple’s royal guests took place a few days before the marriage at the Royal Palace.
By the time Princess Anne-Marie walked into the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Annunciation in Athens on the arm of her father, she had already converted to the Greek Orthodox faith. The marriage ceremony took place in front of around 1,200 guests including the Prince of Wales. He stood alongside King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola of the Belgians, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, King Olav V of Norway and King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden and dozens of other royal guests for the ceremony which was followed by a reception at the Royal Palace.

The new Queen of Greece had chosen a Danish designer to make her wedding gown. Jorgen Bender’s creation featured a rounded neckline, three quarter length sleeves and an empire line waist which gave way to a full skirt with a train measuring around twenty feet. The bride’s bouquet was dominated by lily of the valley, the sweet-scented flower which denotes a return to happiness in the language of flowers.
All royal brides need a tiara, and Anne-Marie kept things in the family for this part of her bridal look, choosing an all diamond diadem which belonged to her mother. Queen Ingrid of Denmark had inherited the Khedive of Egypt tiara from her mother, Princess Margaret of Connaught, following her untimely death in 1920. Presented to Margaret by the Khedive of Egypt at the time of her marriage in 1905, it features swirling scrolls of diamonds and has been used by all of Ingrid’s female descendants on their wedding days.
Anne-Marie wore it with another family heirloom that provided a link with Margaret, the maternal grandmother she never knew. The tiara anchored in place the Irish lace veil which Margaret had worn at her own wedding and which her only daughter, Ingrid, also chose to use as part of her wedding outfit.

Constantine and Anne-Marie had enjoyed a very romantic royal love story, and the fairytale air continued as they departed for a honeymoon in Corfu. Reality would kick in very soon after their return as political unrest in Greece led to a tumultuous and bumpy reign for Constantine which ultimately led to exile. This year they mark 55 years since their wedding, their Emerald Anniversary. And their royal wedding remains a glittering moment in a story that continues to fascinate.

The King and Queen.
Photo (c) Greek Royal Family.
Yesterday, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece lost her husband and life partner of six decades. The love story between King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie is truly one of the most beautiful in modern times.
The eventual King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece first met during a visit of the Greek royal family, including then Crown Prince Constantine, to Denmark in 1959. Anne-Marie's father King Frederick took his daughter and eventual son-in-law, as well as other royal youngsters, to see the Benneweis Circus in Jutland. Constantine was the only son of King Paul I of Greece and Queen Frederica (née Princess of Hannover). Anne-Marie was the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and Queen Ingrid (née Princess of Sweden).
Constantine and Anne-Marie met again in 1961. The following year, 1962, Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Constantine's older sister Sophia to Juan Carlos of Spain. Later that same year, Anne-Marie was on holiday with her governess in Norway, where Constantine was attending a yacht racing event. He proposed and she accepted. They did not initially tell her parents.
In his biography of King Constantine II, entitled H.M. Konstantine XIII King of the Hellenes, the author G. Nicholas Tantzos wrote:
"The wedding of Sophie and Juan Carlos took place on May 14, 1962, and had even broader romantic consequences. The Crown Prince re-met his third cousin, the sixteen year-old Princess Anne-Marie. more than a hundred of Europe's royals attended the wedding, but Konstantine had eyes for no one else, and danced dance after dance with her, until his mother finally told him to give some of the other Princesses a break. Konstantine was having none of it, stating that he wanted no one else. Without telling his parents, Konstantine proposed to Anne-Marie during the summer of 1962 while they were all in Norway. She accepted, and the Prince immediately went and told his parents.
Several years before, while visiting Denmark, King Paul had also noticed the twelve-year-old Princess, and remarked to Frederika, 'She is like a butterfly. If and when he marries, I hope Konstantine marries her!'

While Frederika and Paul approved of the marriage, all was not so well in Denmark. Anne-Marie's father was delighted, but a number of legal questions were raised. Such a marriage would reunite the Danish and Greek Royal Houses. A hundred years before, the Danish Prince William, second in line to the Danish throne, had been elected King of the Hellenes as King George I. He had deferred his rights in the Danish succession to those of his younger brothers, but he, and his descendants, were still styled Princes of Denmark. Besides the close blood relationship, Danish law did not allow a girl to marry until she attained the age of eighteen. In order to marry, Anne-Marie required a letter of permission from her father, King Frederick IX, which also had to be approved by his Minister of Justice. Circumstances made this unnecessary. The death of King Paul required waiting through a period of mourning, and by the time the date was set, Anne-Marie was eighteen.
For six months the engagement had to be kept secret, much to the anguish of the Crown Prince, who lamented that it was '...unfair, since most engaged couples can see each other as often as they wish, while I have to sneak around, pretending that I am going to Denmark for the sailing.'"

The royal couple recounted their courtship in the Danish documentary A Royal Family.
Crown Prince Constantine and Paul Elvstrøm.
King Constantine: "I actually saw a picture of her in a magazine. And I said: 'That's it.' And I said: 'Well, I want to go to Denmark and meet her.' And my father said: 'How are you going to do that?' And I said: 'Well, I'll write a letter to the king and say I'm going to be in Denmark for a sailing meeting with Mr. Paul Elvstrøm, which was feasible.' I don't know if I ever told Paul that I used him as an excuse to go see this girl."
Queen Anne-Marie: "We spent, whatever it was, four or five days in Athens for the wedding [of Princess Sophia of Greece and Infante Juan Carlos of Spain], which was a wonderful occasion. And I think probably there it was that we fell in love."
Queen Anne-Marie on their engagement: "I said: 'For goodness sake, do not not tell my parents, because they will have a fit!' Which he couldn't understand, but I persuaded him, and I think he realized that they probably would have had a fit. So it wasn't until, in fact, six months after we had got engaged unofficially that we did tell my parents."
King Frederick IX, Queen Ingrid, Princess Anne-Marie, and Crown Prince Constantine.
King Constantine: "The biggest shock was for my father-in-law. I asked him if I could marry his daughter. And the poor man got such a shock that he got up, he never said a word to me, he just got up, took me by the hand, and put me in a room and locked me in there with no lights. So I had to sort of grope around to find a light, and then I found the light and opened it, and I found out I was in his toilet. And I couldn't understand what I was doing in there. And he had gone off to find his wife and tell her 'this fellow wants to marry our daughter - what do we do with him?'"

European royals - including Princess Anne - bid farewell to Constantine II at a service in Athens.

Greece's final king, Constantine II, has been laid to rest in a private funeral after he died at the age of 82.
European royals - including Princess Anne - gathered to pay their respects at the service in Athens on Monday.
Constantine, who reigned from 1964-73, had been suffering with heart and mobility problems before he died.
The Greek government was criticised after it decided not to grant him a state funeral - as the monarchy was abolished in the 1970s.
During his eulogy at Athens Metropolitan Cathedral, Constantine's eldest son Pavlos said his father ascended to the throne during a difficult period.
He said: "This is not the end, father. You will live forever in our thoughts and hearts."
Denmark's Queen Margrethe II was among the European royals who attended the service. She is the sister of Constantine's wife, Anne-Marie - whom he had five children with.
Constantine's sister Sophia, who was also in attendance, is the wife of Spain's former King Juan Carlos and mother of Spain's current monarch, King Felipe VI. Felipe attended the funeral together with his wife, Queen Letizia.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and his wife Queen Silvia were among the mourners too, as well as Prince Albert of Monaco.
The British Crown was represented by Princess Anne. Her brother King Charles III was unable to attend due to diary commitments including meeting the president of Cyprus on Monday.
Constantine was distantly related to the British royal family and was a godfather of the Prince of Wales and Lady Gabriella Windsor, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
The private service was officiated by Archbishop Ieronymos, head of the Orthodox church of Greece.
Constantine's coffin, which was draped with the Greek flag, was taken to Tatoi, the former royal estate north of Athens where he was to be buried.
At least 2,000 mourners queued outside to pay their respects, according to state television ERT.
Some were seen holding flags of the royal era, along with flowers and portraits of the ex-king and his wife.
Constantine had reigned for just three years before an army dictatorship seized control of Greece in 1967.
He tried to organise a military counter-coup but it failed and he fled to Rome with the rest of the royal family, and later to London.

Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark was born August 30, 1946, at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, Denmark, the youngest of the three daughters of the future King Frederik IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden, daughter of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden, and his first wife Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden, born Princess Margaret of Connaught, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria At the time of her birth, Anne-Marie’s grandfather King Christian X was King of Denmark.
Anne-Marie has two elder siblings:
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark (born 1940), married Count Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, had two sons
Princess Benedikte of Denmark (born 1944), married Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, had one son and two daughters

The princess was christened Anne-Marie Dagmar Ingrid on August 30, 1946, at the Holmen Church in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her godparents were:
King Christian X of Denmark, her paternal grandfather
Queen Alexandrine of Denmark, her paternal grandmother, born Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden, later King Gustav VI Adolf, her maternal grandfather
Prince Bertil of Sweden, her maternal uncle
King Haakon VII of Norway, her paternal first cousin once removed
Prince George of Greece and Denmark, her first cousin twice removed
Crown Princess Märtha of Norway. born Märtha of Sweden, her maternal first cousin once removed
Queen Mary of the United Kingdom, wife of her paternal and maternal first cousin twice removed, born Prince Victoria Mary of Teck
Princess Dagmar of Denmark, her paternal great-aunt
Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, later Queen Juliana of the Netherlands
Before Anne-Marie’s first birthday occurred, her grandfather died and her father became King of Denmark. Her childhood was spent in three family homes – Amalienborg Palace, Graasten Palace, and Fredensborg Castle. From 1952 – 1961, Anne-Marie attended Zahle’s Skole, a private school in Copenhagen, the same school her sisters attended. In 1961, she spent a year at an English boarding school in Switzerland, the Chatelard School for Girls. From 1963 – 1964, Anne-Marie attended a Swiss finishing school, Institut Le Mesnil, to improve her French. She also speaks English and Danish and learned Greek after her marriage.
Anne-Marie first met Crown Prince Constantine of Greece in 1959, when he visited Copenhagen on a trip with his parents, King Paul I and Queen Frederica of Greece. Anne-Marie met him again in Denmark in 1961 and Constantine declared to his parents that he intended to marry her. In 1962, Constantine’s elder sister Sophia married Prince Juan Carlos of Spain in Athens, Greece. Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid and Queen Frederica noted that at the reception, her son “would dance only with Anne-Marie.” It was at that wedding that Constantine and Anne-Marie realized that they were falling in love. Constantine proposed during a sailing holiday in Norway, but the engagement announcement was postponed for six months because of Anne-Marie’s young age. In March 1964, King Paul I died and Constantine succeeded his father as King Constantine II.

Six months after his accession, on September 18, 1964, Constantine married 18-year-old Anne-Marie in a lavish ceremony in Athens. Upon marriage, she became Queen of the Hellenes and relinquished her place in the line of succession to the Danish throne. Prior to the wedding, Anne-Marie converted to Greek Orthodoxy. Anne-Marie and Constantine are third cousins twice, sharing both King Christian IX of Denmark and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom as common ancestors.
Unofficial Royalty: Wedding of King Constantine II of Greece and Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark
Anne-Marie and Constantine had five children:
Princess Alexia, born 1965 at Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece; married Carlos Morales Quintana, had four children
Crown Prince Pavlos, born 1967 at Tatoi Palace, Greece; married Marie-Chantal Miller, had five children
Prince Nikolaos, born 1969 in Rome, Italy; married Tatiana Elinka Blatnik
Princess Theodora, born 1983 in London, England
Prince Philippos, born 1986 in London, England; married Nina Flohr
As Queen, Anne-Marie established “Her Majesty’s Fund” to provide aid to people in rural areas throughout Greece. Unfortunately, her tenure as Queen did not last very long. Following a coup in 1967, the Greek royal family went into exile, living in Rome for several years before moving to Denmark and then finally settling in the United Kingdom. While in exile, King Constantine was deposed and the monarchy was formally abolished in 1974.
Anne-Marie, with her husband, established the Hellenic College of London in 1980, a Greek boarding school that her younger children attended. The following year, they were permitted to return to Greece for the funeral and burial of Queen Frederika, however, they were made to leave immediately afterward. In 2003, following reimbursement by the Greek government for properties seized from the royal family, the Anna-Maria Foundation was established with the funds from the reimbursement. Constantine had stated that whatever amount the court ordered would be donated in its entirety for the creation of a foundation so the funds would be returned to the Greek people. The foundation, of which Queen Anne-Marie is president, provides aid and assistance to victims of natural disasters in Greece. The settlement of the property dispute also allowed Anne-Marie and Constantine to visit Greece and purchase a summer home in Portocheli, Peloponnese, Greece. In 2013, former King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie permanently returned to reside in Greece.
Anne-Marie’s husband King Constantine II, the former King of Greece, died at Hygeia Hospital in Athens, Greece on January 10, 2023, at the age of 82. He had been admitted to the intensive care unit at the hospital a couple of days earlier due to a stroke.

Wikipedia: English
King of the Hellenes Reign 6 March 1964 – 1 June 1973 (9 years, 87 days) Predecessor: Paul I Successor: Monarchy abolished
Seine Schwester Sophia war die frühere Königin von Spanien, seine Schwägerin Margrethe II. die jetzige Königin von Dänemark. Konstantin II. entstammt dem Haus Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
Er folgte seinem Vater König Paul I. nach dessen frühem Tod auf den Thron. Der Mangel an Erfahrung des jungen Königs sollte sich bald als fatal herausstellen. Dies umso mehr, als die griechische Monarchie seit jeher höchst instabil war und schon mehrere Könige hatten abdanken müssen.
Schon bald geriet König Konstantin in einen ernsten Konflikt mit Ministerpräsident Georgios Papandreou. Dieser nahm mit der Entlassung Papandreous am 15. Juli 1965 an Schärfe noch zu und mündete in eine Verfassungskrise. Es kam zu häufigen Regierungswechseln und andauernden Unruhen. Dabei verfestigte sich in vielen Anhängern Papandreous die Ansicht, der König handle nicht verfassungsgemäß: Dieser weigerte sich lange, das Parlament vorzeitig aufzulösen, da er einen Wahlsieg von Papandreous Partei befürchten musste.
Kurz vor den doch noch angesetzten Wahlen putschte das Militär am 21. April 1967. Die Errichtung der Diktatur nahm Konstantin II. zunächst ohne Protest hin. Im Laufe des Jahres ließ er jedoch erkennen, dass er die Obristen nicht als seine Regierung betrachtete. Am 13. Dezember 1967 versuchte er mit einem dilettantisch geplanten Gegenputsch wieder an die Macht zu kommen. Nach dessen Misslingen ging er, ohne abzudanken, ins Exil, bis 1973 nach Rom, dann nach London.

Constantine II reigned as the last King of Greece, from 1964 until the abolition of the monarchy of Greece in 1973.
He acceded as king following the death of his father King Paul in March 1964. Later that year he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark with whom he eventually had five children. Although the accession of the young monarch was initially regarded auspiciously, his reign soon became controversial: Constantine's involvement in the Apostasia of July 1965 created unrest among sections of the population and aggravated the ongoing political instability that culminated in the Colonels' Coup of 21 April 1967.
The coup was successful, leaving Constantine, as the head of state, little room to maneuver since he had no loyal military forces on which to rely. As a result, he reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the Greek military junta of 1967–1974 (the "putschist government") on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers. On 13 December 1967, Constantine was forced to flee the country, following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta. He remained (formally) the head of state in exile until 1 June 1973, when the junta abolished the monarchy, permanently.
This abolition was confirmed after the fall of the junta by the Greek republic referendum, 1974 on 8 December 1974, which established the Third Hellenic Republic. Constantine, who was not allowed to return to Greece to campaign, accepted the results of the plebiscite.
Constantine was born at the Psychiko Palace in Psychiko, a suburb of Athens. He was the nephew of King George II, and also the second child and only son of the king's brother and heir presumptive, Prince Paul. His mother was Princess Frederica of Hanover. Constantine's older sister Queen Sofía of Spain is the wife of the retired King Juan Carlos of Spain, while his younger sister, Princess Irene, has never been married.
Constantine was just one year old when Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany invaded Greece, and he spent the next four years in exile in Egypt and Cape Town, South Africa (where his sister Irene was born) with his family. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946. King George died in 1947, and Constantine's father became the new king, making Constantine the crown prince. He was educated at a preparatory school and later a boarding school where he was an above-average student academically. A fellow student recalled him as "a good chap, a young man with all the right instincts. He was at his best on the playing fields."
Constantine served in all three armed services, attending the requisite military academies. He also attended the NATO Air Force Special Weapons School in Germany, as well as the University of Athens, where he took courses in the school of law.
Constantine was an able sportsman. In 1960, aged 20, he won an Olympic gold medal in sailing (dragon class), which was the first Greek gold medal in sailing since the Stockholm 1912 Summer Olympics. He was also a strong swimmer and had a black belt in karate, with interests in squash, track events and riding. In 1963 Constantine became a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He resigned in 1974 because he was no longer a Greek resident, and was made an Honorary IOC Member.

Prior to this, Constantine had already been appointed as regent for his ailing father.
King Paul's long-time prime minister Konstantinos Karamanlis regarded him partly responsible for his fall from leadership in 1963.
However, due to his youth, he was also perceived as a promise of change. The accession of Constantine coincided with the recent election of Centrist George Papandreou as prime minister in February 1964, which ended 11 years of right-wing rule by the National Radical Union (ERE).
Greece was still feeling the effects of the Civil War of 1944–49 between communists and monarchists, and society was strongly polarised between the royalist/conservative right and the liberal/socialist center-left. It was hoped that the new young king and the new prime minister would be able to overcome past dissensions.
Initially, relations between the king and Papandreou seemed good, but by 1965, they had deteriorated. The conservative establishment feared the rising influence of Papandreou's left-leaning son Andreas, and the outbreak of the purported ASPIDA scandal seemed to confirm their suspicions.
The name of Andreas Papandreou was implicated in the case, and when the defence minister, Petros Garoufalias tried to form a committee of inquiry into the alleged scandal, the prime minister forced his resignation. Immediately, George Papandreou assigned the defence portfolio to himself, which caused alarm in the palace and the conservative security circles, which interpreted this move as an attempt by Papandreou to control the army. Constantine refused to accept the self-appointment, and a new political issue resulted.
Constantine proposed the appointment of any other person of the prime minister's choosing as defence minister because, as the king argued, there was a conflict of interest: the prime minister's son was allegedly involved in the scandal.
Papandreou rejected the king's proposition, although he had initially shown some willingness to accept it, and submitted his own resignation, stating that it was well within his constitutional powers as the elected prime minister commanding a Parliamentary majority to appoint his ministers at his pleasure, and it was beyond the constitutional powers of the king to refuse him this right.
A short time after his resignation, Constantine appointed a new government led by Georgios Athanasiadis-Novas, who failed to ensure the Parliament's confidence. This appointment, which became known as the "Royal Coup", evoked much criticism as being unconstitutional.[citation needed]
According to the critics, the appointment of this and successive governments consisting of aisle-crossers instead of the proclamation of new elections, caused a constitutional crisis and political instability that lasted for more than two years and led to the Greek military junta of 1967-1974.
After his failure, Novas was succeeded by Ilias Tsirimokos, who also failed to form a stable government and was dismissed. Constantine next appointed some of Papandreou's dissidents, known as the July Apostates and led by Stefanos Stefanopoulos, to form a government of "king's men", which lasted until December 1966, amidst mounting strikes and protests, supported by the right-wing ERE.
When Stefanopoulos resigned in frustration, Constantine appointed a caretaker government under Ioannis Paraskevopoulos, which called elections for May 1967. This government did not even last until the scheduled elections. It was replaced on 3 April 1967 by another caretaker government under the leader of the ERE, Panagiotis Kanellopoulos.

(April 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Elections were scheduled for 28 May 1967, with expectations of a wide Centrist victory. According to United States diplomat John Day, the Americans worried that, due to the old age of George Papandreou, Andreas Papandreou would have a very powerful role in the next government.
According to the United States diplomats Robert Keely and John Owens, who were attached to the United States embassy in Greece at the time, Constantine asked United States Ambassador Phillips Talbot what the attitude of the United States government would be to an extra-parliamentary solution to this problem. The embassy responded negatively in principle, adding that "US reaction to such a move cannot be determined in advance but would depend on circumstances at time". To this day, Constantine denies all this.
According to then-Ambassador from the United States Phillips Talbot, after this communication, Constantine met with the generals of the army, who promised the king that they would not take any action before the coming elections. However, they were nervous by the proclamations of Andreas Papandreou and reserved to themselves the right to reconsider possible courses of action according to the results of the election.
However, a traditionalist, right-wing nationalist group of middle-ranking army officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos took action first and staged a coup d'état on 21 April. The coup leaders met Constantine at his residence in Tatoi, which was surrounded by tanks to prevent resistance.
Constantine later recounted that the officers of the tank platoons believed they were carrying out the coup under his orders. The king argued with the colonels and initially dismissed them. Later in the day, he went to the Ministry of National Defence, where all coup leaders were gathered, and had a discussion with Kanellopoulos and with leading generals. He agreed to concede to the military demands and swear the new regime in only when the junta agreed to include a number of civilian politicians, with a royalist nominee, Konstantinos Kollias, as prime minister.
However Panayotis Kanellopoulos, the last legitimate prime minister of Greece prior to the coup, acting as witness for the prosecution, at the junta trials in 1975 during metapolitefsi, testified how he was arrested by machine-gun toting soldiers and transported to the palace to meet King Constantine.[citation needed] He added that during the meeting he urged the king to use his status as commander-in-chief of the Greek military to order loyal officers to crush the coup. Constantine apparently refused to do so because he feared bloodshed.
From the outset, the relationship between Constantine and the regime of the colonels was an uneasy one. Constantine organised a counter-coup and it was probably meant as one, although no help or involvement of the United States was forthcoming.
The king finally decided to launch his counter-coup on 13 December 1967. Since Athens was effectively in the hands of the junta militarily, Constantine decided to fly to the small northern city of Kavala, east of Thessaloniki. There he hoped to be among troops loyal only to him.
The vague plan he and his advisors had conceived was to form a unit that would advance to Thessaloniki (Greece's second biggest city and unofficial capital of northern Greece) and take it. Constantine planned to install an alternative administration there. International recognition, which he believed to be forthcoming, as well as internal pressure from the fact that Greece would have been split in two governments would, the king hoped, force the junta to resign, leaving the field clear for him to return triumphant to Athens.
In the early morning hours of 13 December, the king boarded the royal plane together with Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, their two young children, Princess Alexia and Prince Pavlos, his mother, Queen Frederica, and his sister, Princess Irene. Constantine also took with him Premier Kollias.
At first things seemed to be going according to plan. Constantine was well received in Kavala which, militarily, was under the command of a general loyal to him. The air force and navy, both strongly royalist and not involved in the 1967 coup, immediately declared for him and mobilised. Another of Constantine's generals effectively cut all communication between Athens and the north.
However, the king's plans were overly bureaucratic, naïvely supposing that orders from a commanding general would automatically be followed. Further, the king was obsessive about avoiding "bloodshed" even where the junta would be the attacker.
Under these circumstances, rather than managing to put together a force and advancing on Thessaloniki, middle-ranking pro-junta officers neutralised and arrested his royalist generals and took command of their units, which subsequently put together a force advancing on Kavala to arrest the king.
Realising that the countercoup had failed, Constantine fled Greece on board the royal plane, taking his family and hapless premier with him.
They landed in Rome early in the morning of 14 December, where they remained in exile all through the rest of military rule (although he continued as king until 1 June 1973.) He was never to return to Greece as a reigning king.
Constantine stated, "I am sure I shall go back the way my ancestors did." The world had changed significantly though since the monarchy had made its last comeback. Constantine continued to watch events from abroad. He said to the Toronto Star:
I consider myself King of the Hellenes and sole expression of legality in my country until the Greek people freely decide otherwise. I fully expected that the (military) regime would depose me eventually. They are frightened of the Crown because it is a unifying force among the people.
With Constantine abroad, Colonel George Papadopoulos illegally appointed himself prime-minister and General George Zoitakis as regent.
Over the next year the junta sent intermediaries to the king to negotiate the terms on which he might return to Greece. But Constantine insisted on the full restoration of democracy under the existing constitution as a precondition, and George Papadopoulos would not agree to this. Instead the regime illegally promulgated a new constitution in November 1968, which retained the monarchy, but stripped it of its powers, and provided for a permanent regency until the king chose to accept the new order. This standoff continued until 1972, when George Papadopoulos illegally dismissed George Zoitakis and appointed himself regent.
In June 1973, George Papadopoulos condemned Constantine as "a collaborator with foreign forces and with murderers" and accused him of "pursuing ambitions to become a political leader".[3] In May, officers of the largely royalist navy staged an abortive coup, although Constantine himself was not involved. George Papadopoulos retaliated by declaring Greece a republic (1 June), a decision which was confirmed by a plebiscite on 29 July. The vote was widely acknowledged to be rigged.[citation needed] Constantine refused to accept the outcome. George Papadopoulos then declared himself president, but in November there was a coup within the regime and he was replaced by General Phaidon Ghizikis, who was a front for the new military strongman, Dimitrios Ioannides.
In July 1974, the events in Cyprus led to the downfall of the military regime, and Karamanlis returned from exile to become prime minister. The 1973 republican constitution was regarded as illegitimate, and the new administration issued a constitutional decree restoring the 1952 constitution. Constantine confidently awaited an invitation to return. On 24 July he declared his "deep satisfaction with the initiative of the armed forces in overthrowing the dictatorial regime" and welcomed the advent of Karamanlis as prime minister.
The former king visited both Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street and openly declared his hope to be shortly returning to Greece. However, the 1952 constitution was not restored with the overthrow of the illegal junta. Following Karamanlis' resounding victory in the November 1974 parliamentary elections (his New Democracy party won 54.4% of the vote), he called a referendum (held on 8 December 1974) on whether Greece would restore the monarchy or remain a republic.
Although he had been the leader of the traditionally monarchist right, Karamanlis made no attempt to restore the democratic constitution of 1952. Instead he called on the Greek people to vote "according to their conscience".[citation needed] The former king was not allowed by the government to return to Greece to campaign on behalf of the benefits to Greece of the constitutional monarchy. He was only allowed to broadcast to the Greek people from London on television. Analysts claim this was a deliberate act by the government to undermine any chance to restore the monarchy.
The left voted overwhelmingly for the republic because the former king was perceived by them as having engaged in political interference far beyond the scope of the monarchical prerogative. They also objected to the perceived influence exercised by members of the royal family who had no constitutional role in the political life of the country; the former king's mother, Queen Frederica, being a case in point.
The republic received overwhelming support by the centrist voters who condemned Constantine for, among other things, swearing in the junta in 1967. They also blamed his reluctance to sever all ties with the junta once in exile, and the dismissal of the legitimately elected George Papandreou administration (Apostasia of 1965), the event which some believed led to the coup.
Constantine, speaking from London, freely admitted his past mistakes. He claimed to have sound democratic intentions in the future and promised that his mother would stay away from the country.[3] Local monarchists campaigned on his behalf. The vote to restore the monarchy was only about 31%, having most of his support from the Peloponnese region, with almost 69% of the electorate voting against the restoration of the monarchy and for the establishment of a republic. The result was met with celebrations in the streets of Athens and other major cities.
Constantine remained in exile for almost forty years after the vote in favour of the republic. He was strongly discouraged from returning to Greece, and he did not return until February 1981, when the government only allowed him to return for a few hours, to attend the funeral of his mother, Queen Frederica, in the family cemetery of the former Royal Palace at Tatoi.
There were also legal disputes with the Greek state. In 1992 he concluded an agreement with the conservative government of Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis, ceding most of his land in Greece to a non-profit foundation in exchange for the former palace of Tatoi, near Athens, and the right to export a number of movables from Greece. The latter reportedly included privately owned art treasures from the royal palaces. As such, no formal account of what was removed was ever given or needed to be given. In 1993, Constantine visited Greece, but faced with government insecurity, he was asked to leave. In 1994, the second government of Andreas Papandreou passed new legislation reversing the 1992 agreement and stripping Constantine of his property in Greece and his Greek citizenship.
Constantine sued Greece at the European Court of Human Rights for €500 million in compensation for the seized property. He won a much smaller amount, receiving a monetary compensation of €12 million for the lost property, with a far smaller sum awarded to his unmarried younger sister, Princess Irene, and his aunt Princess Katherine. The Greek government chose to pay out of the "extraordinary natural disasters" fund, but was not obliged by the court's decision to return any lands (the Court of Human Rights awards only monetary compensation).
Constantine, in turn, announced the creation of the Anna Maria Foundation, to allocate the funds in question back to the Greek people for use in "extraordinary natural disasters" and charitable causes. The court decision also ruled that Constantine's human rights were not violated by the Greek state's decision not to grant him Greek citizenship and passport unless he adopts a surname.
Constantine and his wife with their youngest children, Theodora and Philippos, by Allan Warren Following the abolition of the monarchy, Constantine has repeatedly stated that he recognizes the Republic, the laws and the constitution of Greece. He told Time, "If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it."
Until 1994, Constantine's official Greek passport identified him as "Constantine, former King of the Hellenes". A law passed in 1994 stripped him of his Greek citizenship, passport, and property. The law stated that Constantine could not be granted a Greek passport unless he adopted a surname. He continues to use the title "King Constantine", although he no longer uses "Constantine, King of the Hellenes".
Today, this appellation draws attention to the fact that Constantine and his family lacks a legal surname in Greece. Constantine has stated: "I don't have a name—my family doesn't have a name. The law that Mr. Papandreou passed basically says that he considers that I am not Greek and that my family was Greek only so long as we were exercising the responsibilities of sovereign, and I had to go out and acquire a name. The problem is that my family originates from Denmark, and the Danish royal family haven't got a surname." Glücksburg, he said, was not a family name but the name of a town. "I might as well call myself Mr. Kensington."
In 2004, Constantine was back in Greece temporarily during the Athens Olympic Games as a member of the International Olympic Committee. He freely travels in and out of Greece on a Danish diplomatic passport, as Constantino de Grecia (Spanish for "Constantine of Greece"), because Denmark (upon request) issues diplomatic passports to any descendants of King Christian IX and Queen Louise and Constantine is a Prince of Denmark in his own right.
During his first visit to Greece using this passport, Constantine was mocked by some of the Greek media, which hellenized the "de Grecia" designation and used it as a surname, thus naming him Κωνσταντίνος Ντεγκρέτσιας ("Constantine Degrecias").
Constantine and Anne-Marie for many years lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, Constantine being a close friend of his second cousin Charles, Prince of Wales and a godfather to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, his second cousin once removed. Since the wedding of his son, Nikolaos, Constantine and Anne-Marie moved back to Greece, currently residing in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese.
On 24 December 2004, Constantine and Anne-Marie and members of the former royal family visited the Presidential Mansion (the former Royal Palace) in Athens where Constantine met President Costis Stephanopoulos, who gave them a tour.
According to a nationwide 2007 survey of 2,040 households conducted on behalf of the newspaper To Vima, only 11.6% supported a constitutional monarchy. More than half of the respondents, 50.9%, considered the dictatorship of the junta had brought benefits to Greece.
In 2008 and 2012, during the Olympic Games in Beijing and London, Constantine II, in his role as honorary member of the International Olympic Committee, was the official presenter at the sailing medal ceremonies.
Constantine II is also Co-President of Honour of the International Sailing Federation with King Harald V of Norway, since 1994.
As of 2013, Constantine II has returned to reside in Greece.
In November 2015, the autobiography of Constantine was published in three volumes by the national newspaper, To Vima.[20] It has not yet been published in English.
Constantine serves as patron of Box Hill School, a public school in Dorking, in the south of England.
On 18 September 1964, in a Greek Orthodox ceremony in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark.

The former queen, 76, who was married to Constantine from 1964 until his death last Tuesday, was supported by her five children and their partners, grandchildren and extended family, including her older sister Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, as she bid a final farewell to the former Greek monarch at the city’s Metropolitan Cathedral.
The queen, the eldest child of King Paul of Greece and Frederica of Hanover, left a touching note to Constantine, writing: ‘Your beloved Ana Maria’. She also nodded to one of the most important days of their lives, their romantic and extravagant wedding, in two key ways, according to Vanity Fair Spain.

Elegant Euro royals reportedly have their eyes on a home in the city
Firstly, Anne-Marie wore the same Crucifix pendant she donned as a bride to exchange vows with Constantine on 18 September 1964, just two weeks after her 18th birthday. The ceremony came two years after the groom’s sister, the then Princess Sofia, wed Juan Carlos, the then Crown Prince of Spain. The couple, who attended the funeral, ruled over Spain until Juan Carlos' abdication in 2014.
On her wedding day, Anne-Marie wore the Crucifix on a delicate chain, which fell elegantly over her simple wedding gown featuring a nipped in waistband, three-quarter length sleeves and modest boat neckline. On Monday, she wore the Crucifix on a chunkier pearl chain that clung to her neck. Anne-Marie also laid a wreath made up of white lilies of the valley, the same flower that she chose for her bridal bouquet.

Revealed: the intriguing family ties between the late King Constantine II of Greece and Europe’s monarchies
The last King of Greece had family ties to Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Norway and Britain
As well as mourning a fellow ruler, many of the royals were also paying tribute to a late family member, thanks to the sprawling web of complex ties that connect many of the historic thrones of Europe. King Charles III, Constantine's second cousin, was represented by his sister, Princess Anne.
Queen Sofia of Spain, Constantine’s sister and wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain, looked sombre as she remembered her sibling alongside her husband, son King Felipe VI and daughter-in-law Queen Letizia. Felipe’s sister, Princess Cristina, was joined by her four children, arriving alongside her maternal aunt, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark.
It comes amid news that Anne-Marie’s eldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos, could soon be moving to Athens with his wife, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal.

Flohr completed the look with the antique corsage tiara that belongs to Queen Anne-Marie, the blog post added.
The tiara has a fascinating history. Queen Ingrid of Denmark had the tiara made from a set of brooches that she inherited from her grandmother, Queen Victoria of Sweden, according to the royal fashion blog Tiara Mania.
It was given to the then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on her 18th birthday in 1964, the blog post added.
Anne-Marie, who became Queen of Greece upon her marriage to King Constantine II later that year, has allowed royal brides to borrow it over the years. It was most recently worn by Crown Princess Marie-Chantal at her royal wedding to Crown Prince Pavlos in 1995, and Princess Tatiana at her wedding to Prince Nikolaos in 2010, according to Tiara Mania.
The Greek royal family were in attendance at Nina and Philippos' wedding on Saturday.

Queen Anne-Marie bid a poignant farewell to her late husband, the former King of Greece, Constantine II at his funeral in Athens on Monday.
The widow, 76, was comforted by her children, grandchildren and royals from all of the European households at the service.
WATCH: Queen Letizia and Princess Marie-Chantal leave dinner arm-in-arm following 'feud'
Since Constantine's death on 10 January, there have been rumours about where the queen will reside.
And now a royal aide has confirmed to Danish publication, Billed Bladet, that Anne-Marie has no intention of leaving Athens.

Friends also told HELLO!'s sister publication, HOLA!, that Anne-Marie's eldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos and his wife, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal, that the couple are not house-hunting in Greece. The couple, who primarily live in New York, are instead spending an extended period of time in Athens to support Queen Anne-Marie.
Anne-Marie, who is a younger sister of Queen Margrethe of Denmark, married Constantine on 18 September 1964.
Her funeral wreath for her late husband was comprised of lilies of the valley, the same flowers that were used for her wedding bouquet. And the attached card revealed her final words to her husband: "Your beloved Anna-Maria."

Poignantly, she also wore the same diamond cross pendant that she wore at her wedding.
Constantine, who reigned from 1964 to 1973 when the monarchy was abolished, had been suffering with heart and mobility problems before he died.
During his eulogy at Athens Metropolitan Cathedral, Crown Prince Pavlos said his father ascended to the throne during a difficult period. He said: "This is not the end, father. You will live forever in our thoughts and hearts."

ATHENS, Greece — Constantine, the former and last king of Greece, who won an Olympic gold medal before becoming entangled in his country’s volatile politics in the 1960s as king and spent decades in exile, has died. He was 82.
Doctors at the private Hygeia Hospital in Athens confirmed to The Associated Press that Constantine died late Tuesday after treatment in an intensive care unit but had no further details pending an official announcement.
When he acceded to the throne as Constantine II 1964 at the age of 23, the youthful monarch, who had already achieved glory as an Olympic gold medalist in sailing, was hugely popular. By the following year, he had squandered much of that support with his active involvement in the machinations that brought down the elected Center Union government of prime minister George Papandreou.
The episode involving the defection from the ruling party of several lawmakers, still widely known in Greece as the “apostasy,” destabilized the constitutional order and led to a military coup in 1967. Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile.
The dictatorship abolished the monarchy in 1973, while a referendum after democracy was restored in 1974 dashed any hopes that Constantine had of ever reigning again.
Reduced in the following decades to only fleeting visits to Greece that raised a political and media storm each time, he was able to settle again in his home country in his waning years when opposing his presence no longer held currency as a badge of vigilant republicanism. With minimal nostalgia for the monarchy in Greece, Constantine became a relatively uncontroversial figure.
Born into royalty
Constantine was born June 2, 1940, in Athens, to Prince Paul, younger brother to King George II and heir presumptive to the throne, and princess Federica of Hanover. His older sister Sophia is the wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain. The Greek-born Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh and husband of the United Kingdom’s late Queen Elizabeth II, was an uncle.
The family, which had ruled in Greece from 1863 apart from a 12-year republican interlude between 1922-1935, was descended from Prince Christian, later Christian IX of Denmark, of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg branch of the Danish ruling family.
Before Constantine’s first birthday, the royal family was forced to flee Greece during the German invasion in World War II, moving to Alexandria in Egypt, South Africa and back to Alexandria. King George II returned to Greece in 1946, following a disputed referendum, but died a few months later, making Constantine the heir to King Paul I.
Constantine was educated at a boarding school and then attended all three military academies as well as Athens Law School classes as preparation for his future role. He also competed in various sports, including sailing and karate, in which he held a black belt.
In 1960, aged 20, he and two other Greek sailors won a gold medal in the Dragon Class — now no longer an Olympic class — at the Rome Olympics. While still a prince, Constantine was elected a member of the International Olympic Committee and became an honorary member for life in 1974.
King Paul I died of cancer on March 6, 1964 and Constantine succeeded him, weeks after the Center Union party had triumphed over the conservatives with 53% of the vote.
'The people don't want you'
The prime minister, George Papandreou, and Constantine initially had a very close relationship, but it soon soured over Constantine’s insistence that control of the armed forces was the monarch’s prerogative.
With many officers toying with the idea of a dictatorship and viewing any non-conservative government as soft on communism, Papandreou wanted to control the ministry of defense and eventually demanded to be appointed defense minister as well. After an acrimonious exchange of letters with Constantine, Papandreou resigned in July 1965.
Constantine’s insistence on appointing a government composed of centrist defectors that won a narrow parliamentary majority on the third try was hugely unpopular. Many viewed him as being manipulated by his scheming mother, dowager Queen Frederica.
“The people don’t want you, take your mother and go!” became the rallying cry in the protests that rocked Greece in the summer of 1965.
Eventually, Constantine made a truce of sorts with Papandreou and, with his agreement, appointed a government of technocrats and, then, a conservative-led government to hold an election in May 1967.
But, with the polls heavily favoring the Center Union and with Papandreou’s left-leaning son, Andreas, gaining in popularity, Constantine and his courtiers feared revenge and with the aid of high-ranking officers prepared a coup.
However, a group of lower-ranking officers, led by colonels, were preparing their own coup and, apprised of Constantine’s plans by a mole, proclaimed a dictatorship on April 21, 1967.
Constantine was taken by surprise and his feelings toward the new rulers were obvious in the official photo of the new government. He pretended to go along with them, while preparing a counter-coup with the help of troops in northern Greece and the navy, which was loyal to him.
On Dec. 13, 1967, Constantine and his family flew to the northern city of Kavala with the intention of marching on Thessaloniki and setting up a government there. The counter-coup, badly managed and infiltrated, collapsed and Constantine was forced to flee to Rome the following day. He would never return as reigning king.
End of the monarchy
The junta appointed a regent and, after an abortive Navy counter-coup in May 1973, abolished the monarchy on June 1, 1973. A July plebiscite, widely considered rigged, confirmed the decision.
When the dictatorship collapsed in July 1974, Constantine was eager to return to Greece but was advised against it by veteran politician Constantine Karamanlis, who returned from exile to head a civilian government. Karamanlis, who had also headed the government between 1955-63, was a conservative but had clashed with the court over what he considered its excessive interference in politics.
After his triumphal win in November elections, Karamanlis called for a plebiscite on the monarchy in 1974. Constantine was not allowed in the country to campaign, but the result was unambiguous and widely accepted: 69.2% voted in favor of a republic.
Soon after, Karamanlis famously said the nation had rid itself of a cancerous growth. Constantine said on the day following the referendum that “national unity must take precedence ... I wholeheartedly wish that developments will justify the result of yesterday’s vote.”
To his final days, Constantine, while accepting that Greece was now a republic, continued to style himself King of Greece and his children as princes and princesses even though Greece no longer recognized titles of nobility.
Life in exile
For most of his years in exile, he lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, and was said to be especially close to his second cousin Charles, the Prince of Wales and now King Charles III.
While it took Constantine 14 years to return to his country, briefly, to bury his mother, Queen Federica in 1981, he multiplied his visits thereafter and, from 2010, made his home there. There were continued disputes: in 1994, the then-socialist government stripped him of his nationality and expropriated what remained of the royal family’s property. Constantine sued at the European Court of Human Rights and was awarded 12 million euros in 2002, a fraction of the 500 million he had sought.
He is survived by his wife, the former Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II; five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos; and nine grandchildren.

Anne-Marie; born 30 August 1946 as Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark) is a Greek and Danish royal who was the last queen of Greece as the consort of King Constantine II from their marriage on 19 September 1946 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Anne-Marie is the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. In 1964, Anne-Marie married Constantine and became queen consort of Greece. They had five children: Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora, and Prince Philippos. As queen, Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as “Her Majesty Fund” and later as the “Anne-Marie Foundation,” which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece. In 1967, however, the royal family were forced into exile, and Constantine was later deposed as Greece transitioned into a republic.
Anne-Marie is the youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. She is also a first cousin of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and a second cousin of King Harald V of Norway and her husband Constantine were third cousins: they shared King Christian IX of Denmark as patrilineal great-great grandfather. They also shared Queen Victoria as a great-great-grandmother.
Biography -Birth and Family
Princess Anne-Marie was born on 30 August 1946 in Frederick VIII's Palace, an 18th-century palace which forms part of the Amalienborg Palace complex in central Copenhagen. She was the third and last daughter and child of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Ingrid of Denmark. Her father was the eldest son of King Christian X of Denmark and his wife, Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin; her mother, born a Princess of Sweden, was the only daughter of the Crown Prince of Sweden and his late British-born first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught. At birth, Anne-Marie had two elder sisters: Princess Margrethe, the present Queen of Denmark, and Princess Benedikte, who married Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and lives in Germany.
Anne-Marie was baptized on 9 October 1946 in the Holman Church in Copenhagen. Her godparents are the King and Queen of Denmark (paternal grandparents); Crown Prince of Sweden (maternal grandfather), Prince Bertil of Sweden (maternal uncle), the King of Norway (paternal grand-uncle), Prince George of Greece and Denmark, the Crown Princess of Norway (father's first cousin), Queen Mary of the United Kingdom, Princess Dagmar of Denmark (paternal grand-aunt) and the Crown Princess of the Netherlands.
She is a great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, thus a third cousin to the late Queen Elizabeth II and her late husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as well as of King Juan Carlos I of Spain, King Michael I of Romania. Through her mother, Queen Ingrid born princess of Sweden, she is also a first cousin of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and a second cousin to King Harald V. of Norway.
Early Life
Princess Anne-Marie and her sisters grew up in apartments at Frederick VIII's Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen and in Fredensborg Palace in North Zealand. She spent summer holidays with the royal family in her parents' summer residence at Grasten Palace in Southern Jutland. On 20 April 1947, less than a year after Princess Anne-Marie's birth, her grandfather King Christian X died, and her father ascended the throne as King Frederick IX.
At the time of her father's accession to the throne, only males could ascend the throne of Denmark. As Anne-Marie's parents had no sons, it was assumed that her uncle Prince Knud would one day assume the throne. The popularity of Frederick IX and his daughters and the more prominent role of women in Danish life paved the way for a new Act of Succession in 1953 which permitted female succession to the throne following the principle of male-preference primogeniture, where a female can ascend to the throne if she has no brothers. Her eldest sister Margrethe therefore became heir presumptive, and Princess Benedikte and Princess Anne-Marie became second and third in the line of succession.
Anne-Marie was educated at N. Zahle's School, a private school in Copenhagen, from 1952 to 1961. In 1961 she attended the Chatelard School for Girls, an English boarding school outside Montreux in Switzerland. In 1963 and 1964 she attended the Institute Le Mesnil, a Swiss finishing school also in Montreux.
Marriage
In 1959, at the age of thirteen, Anne-Marie first met her future husband, her third cousin Constantine, Crown Prince of Greece, who accompanied his parents, King Paul and Queen Frederica, on a state visit to Denmark. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the marriage of Constantine’s sister Princess Sofia of Greece and Denmark to Prince Juan Carlos of Spain at which Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid: and again in 1963 at the centenary celebrations of the Greek monarchy.
On 6 March 1964, King Paul died, and Constantine succeeded him as King of the Hellenes. In July 1964, the announcement of the engagement of Constantine and Anne-Marie raised the polite protests of the Left in Denmark. Anne-Marie and Constantine were married on 18 September 1964 (two weeks after Anne-Marie’s 18th birthday) in the Metropolis, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Athens. Prior to the wedding, Anne-Marie converted from Lutheranism to the Greek Orthodox Church. Also, in view of the fact that she was marrying a foreign ruler, consent to the marriage was given on the condition that Anne-Marie renounce her succession rights to the Danish throne for herself and her descendants.
Queen of the Hellens
As Queen of Greece, Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as “Her Majesty’s Fund” and later as the “Anne-Marie Foundation,” which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece.
On 10 July, 1965, Queen Anne-Marie gave birth at the villa Mon Repos in Corfu to her first child, Princess Alexis, who was heir presumptive to the throne of Greece, from her birth until the birth of her younger brother Crown Prince Pavlos on 20 May 1967, Greece’s order of succession adhering to male-preference primogeniture.
Exile
In April 1967, Anne-Marie’s husband King Constantine II, after a military coup, swore into office a military junta. In December 1967, the King attempted to shake off the authoritarian regime and tried to stage a counter-coup with the help of certain like-minded people.
The counter-coup failed and Anne-Marie and her family had to flee to Italy. In the aftermath, Anne-Marie miscarried a child.
The family lived for two months in the Greek embassy in Rome and then for the next five years in a house in a suburb of Rome.
In 1973, Anne-Marie moved with her family to England. They lived first in Chobham in Surrey.
Later they moved to the London suburb of Hampstead. The Greek government seized their former private home of Tatoi. It was only after a successful appeal to the European Court of Human Rights that the Greek government were forced to pay compensation for the property. King Constantine used the money obtained to establish the Anna-Maria Foundation, which was established in 2003 to provide aid to victims of natural disasters, including earthquakes and floods, in Greece.
As of 2019 Anne-Marie serves as president of the foundation.
Current Activities
In 1980 Anne-Marie and Constantine founded Hellenic College of London, a bilingual school where her own children were educated. The school closed in 2005.
The government of Greece did not permit Anne-Marie to return to Greece until 1981 when she was allowed to enter Greek territory for several hours to attend the funeral of her mother-in-law, Queen Frederika. She and her family paid a private visit to Greece in 1993.
Since 2003-when a property dispute between her husband Constantine and the government of Greece concluded-Anne-Marie has visited Greece numerous times. In 2013, Constantine returned to reside in Greece. He and his wife Anne-Marie purchased a villa in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese residing there until they relocated to Athens in the spring of 2022.
On 21 May 2004 Anne-Marie was peripherally involved in a dispute in Madrid between former Crown Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Italy and his cousin and dynastic rival Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta. At a party held at the Zarzuela Palace during the wedding celebrations of Felipe, Prince of Asturias, Amedeo approached Vittorio who reportedly punched him twice in the face, causing him to stumble backward down the steps. The quick intervention of Anne-Marie, who propped him up, prevented Amedeo from falling to the ground. She discreetly assisted him indoors while stanching his bleeding facial wounds until first aid was administered. Upon learning of the incident Spain’s King Juan Carlos, a cousin of both men, reportedly declared that “never again” would an opportunity to abuse his hospitality be afforded the competing pretenders.
On 14 August 2004, Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine visited their former home in Athens, the former Royal Palace that is now the Presidential Palace, for the first time since 1967. They received by then-President of Greece Costis Stephanopoulos along with other members of the International Olympic Committee, of which Constantine was an honorary member of. In December 2004, Constantine, Anne-Marie and their children were again invited to pay a personal private visit by President Stephanopoulos.
On 10 January 2023, Anne-Marie was widened when her husband died of a stroke at the private Hygeia Hospital in Athens at the age of 82.

Constantine’s Early Life
Constantine was born on June 2, 1940, at Villa Psychiko in Athens to Crown Prince Paul of Greece and Princess Friederike of Hanover. He has one older sister – Queen Sofia of Spain, and one younger sister – Princess Irene of Greece. During World War II, the Greek Royal Family was forced to flee Greece, settling in Alexandria, Egypt, and then Cape Town, South Africa. They returned to Greece in 1946, and the following year, his uncle, King George II died. Constantine’s father became King, and Constantine became Crown Prince.
He attended school in Athens from 1949-1955, followed by all three Greek military academies. He then went to the National University of Athens to study law. An avid athlete, Tino (as he was known in the family) participated in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, winning a gold medal in sailing (Dragon Glass). This was Greece’s first gold medal in 48 years. He became a member of the International Olympic Committee in 1963.
He became King of the Hellenes following his father’s death in March 1964. Just three years after the wedding, following a coup in 1967, the Greek royal family went into exile, living in Rome for several years before moving to Denmark and then finally settling in the United Kingdom. While in exile, King Constantine was deposed and the monarchy was formally abolished in 1974.

Anne-Marie’s Early Life
Embed from Getty Images
Princess Anne-Marie Dagmar Ingrid of Denmark was born on August 30, 1946, at Amalienborg in Copenhagen. She is the third and youngest daughter of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden. Her two older sisters are Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Princess Benedikte of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. A year after her birth, her grandfather died, and her father became King Frederik IX. Several years later, the King had the succession laws changed to allow for female succession, putting Anne-Marie third in line to succeed her father.
After attending a private school in Copenhagen from 1952-1961, Anne-Marie was enrolled at the Chatelard School for Girls, a boarding school in Switzerland, from 1961-1963. She then attended the Institut Le Mesnil, a Swiss finishing school.

Unofficial Royalty: Queen Anne-Marie of Greece
The Engagement
Constantine and Anne-Marie are third cousins, several times over, through their mutual descent from both King Christian IX of Denmark and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. They first met in 1959, when Constantine accompanied his parents on a State Visit to Denmark. Constantine was 19, and Anne-Marie was just 13. They met again in Denmark in 1961, but it was in 1962 that the romance truly began to blossom. Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Constantine’s sister, Sophia, to Juan Carlos of Spain. By that time, Tino was clearly smitten and the two spent much of the night dancing together. After that, Tino made many visits to Denmark to see Anne-Marie, and the media began to speculate about a romance with Anne-Marie’s older sister Benedikte. In the summer of 1962, Anne-Marie was on holiday in Norway with her governess, and Tino was also there competing in yacht racing. They spent a lot of time together, and soon he proposed, and Anne-Marie accepted. His parents were delighted with the news, but the Danish King was hesitant to give his blessing. Soon, however, he realized that the two were in love and he relented, giving his consent. However, there were several conditions that had to be met. He insisted that the wedding could not take place until Anne-Marie had finished her education and reached her eighteenth birthday and that the engagement could not be made public until the beginning of the next year.
For the next six months, the couple kept their engagement a secret, while Constantine made many trips to Denmark, often using sailing events as an excuse for his visits. Finally, on January 23, 1963, the Danish Royal Court announced the couple’s engagement. Several days later, Constantine and Anne-Marie, along with their parents, appeared at a press conference and then greeted the crowds from the balcony at Amalienborg.
Once the excitement had died down, Anne-Marie returned to School in Switzerland and Tino returned to his official duties in Greece. The wedding was planned for January 1965. However, this would soon change due to the death of King Paul. In early 1964, King Paul was diagnosed with cancer. After undergoing surgery, he suffered from a pulmonary embolism and died on March 6, 1964. Tino assumed the Greek throne as King Constantine II. The wedding plans were moved forward and scheduled for September 18, 1964. This would be just weeks after Anne-Marie’s eighteenth birthday, and days after the end of the official court mourning.
Pre-Wedding Festivities
The celebrations began on September 7, 1964, when Constantine arrived in Denmark. That evening, a private dinner and dance were held at Fredensborg Castle, and the following day they returned to Amalienborg for the official display of the wedding gifts. That evening, they attended a gala performance at the Royal Theatre, followed by a lavish banquet held at Christiansborg Palace, with over 1,000 invited guests. The next morning, Anne-Marie and Tino were guests at a reception held by the City of Copenhagen and rode in a carriage procession through the streets to greet the thousands of Danes who had come out to wish them well.
The festivities then moved to Greece. Constantine, Anne-Marie, and her family sailed to Greece aboard the Danish Royal Yacht, Dannebrog, where they were greeted by Queen Frederica, Princess Irene, and Prince Michael.
King Constantine hosted three large receptions at Tatoi Palace, with more than 6,000 guests invited. A special committee had been formed in Athens to select people from around the country to come – at the Government’s expense – to meet the King and his future Queen. A reception was also held at the Hotel Grande Bretagne, in Athens, in honor of the Danish royal family.
On September 16, most of the royal guests began to arrive, and King Constantine personally greeted most of them as their planes landed in Athens. That evening, a gala ball was held in the gardens of the Royal Palace of Athens, with 1,600 invited guests. The royal guests were resplendent in their gowns and uniforms, with their best jewels on show. The bride wore a light blue gown with the Greek Emerald Parure, which was among the jewels given to her by Queen Frederica. Read more about the parure here.
Wedding Guests
More than 1,200 guests attended the wedding, including many members of royal and noble families from around the world. According to the New York Times, the guest list included “eight reigning monarchs and their consorts, two former kings, more than 55 princes and princesses, and heads of state and representatives from more than 87 countries”.

Wedding Attire

Her veil of Irish lace was a family heirloom. It was originally a gift to her grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught, for her wedding to the future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden in 1905. Holding the veil in place, Anne-Marie wore the Khedive of Egypt Tiara, another piece that goes back to her grandmother’s wedding, having been a wedding gift from the Khedive of Egypt. You can read more about the tiara here. Keeping with tradition, both the veil and the tiara have been worn by all of Queen Ingrid’s female descendants.
The groom wore his white Field Marshal’s uniform, adorned with several Greek and Danish orders and medals.
The bride’s attendants (listed below) wore simple gowns of white organza, with white flowers in their hair.

Wedding Ceremony
On the morning of September 18, 1964, with all of the guests already assembled at the Cathedral, King Constantine, accompanied by his mother, left the Royal Palace in an open carriage. Soon, he was followed by Princess Anne-Marie and her father. The bride’s attendants were waiting outside the cathedral to help her with her gown and train, and then the procession began.
The traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony was conducted by Archbishop Chrysostomos, the Primate of Greece. After hearing the sacraments of marriage, the two exchanged rings and took communion. Part of the service involved crowns being held over their heads. This was done first by Queen Frederica, and then by a succession of princes – Crown Prince Harald of Norway, Crown Prince Carl Gustaf of Sweden, The Prince of Wales, Prince Michael of Greece, Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia, Prince Ingolf of Denmark, Prince Michael of Kent, Prince Karl of Hesse and Count Michael Bernadotte.
At the end of the service, red and white rose petals fluttered down into the cathedral, as the couple embraced her parents, and the Dowager Queen Frederica curtsied to Greece’s new Queen.
Following the ceremony, the King and his new Queen led a carriage procession back to the Royal Palace where a wedding breakfast was held for 80 guests. Constantine and Anne-Marie then left for Corfu to begin their honeymoon.

Greece's final king, Constantine II, has been laid to rest in a private funeral after he died at the age of 82.
European royals - including Princess Anne - gathered to pay their respects at the service in Athens on Monday.
Constantine, who reigned from 1964-73, had been suffering with heart and mobility problems before he died.
The Greek government was criticised after it decided not to grant him a state funeral - as the monarchy was abolished in the 1970s.
During his eulogy at Athens Metropolitan Cathedral, Constantine's eldest son Pavlos said his father ascended to the throne during a difficult period.
He said: "This is not the end, father. You will live forever in our thoughts and hearts."
Denmark's Queen Margrethe II was among the European royals who attended the service. She is the sister of Constantine's wife, Anne-Marie - whom he had five children with.
Constantine's sister Sophia, who was also in attendance, is the wife of Spain's former King Juan Carlos and mother of Spain's current monarch, King Felipe VI. Felipe attended the funeral together with his wife, Queen Letizia.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and his wife Queen Silvia were among the mourners too, as well as Prince Albert of Monaco.
The British Crown was represented by Princess Anne. Her brother King Charles III was unable to attend due to diary commitments including meeting the president of Cyprus on Monday.
Constantine was distantly related to the British royal family and was a godfather of the Prince of Wales and Lady Gabriella Windsor, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
The private service was officiated by Archbishop Ieronymos, head of the Orthodox church of Greece.
Constantine's coffin, which was draped with the Greek flag, was taken to Tatoi, the former royal estate north of Athens where he was to be buried.
At least 2,000 mourners queued outside to pay their respects, according to state television ERT.
Some were seen holding flags of the royal era, along with flowers and portraits of the ex-king and his wife.
Constantine had reigned for just three years before an army dictatorship seized control of Greece in 1967.
He tried to organise a military counter-coup but it failed and he fled to Rome with the rest of the royal family, and later to London.

A former monarch has died.
Constantine II, who served as the last king of Greece, died at age 82, The Associated Press confirms. Doctors announced his passing on Jan. 10.
Per the outlet, staff at the Hygeia Hospital in Athens report that Constantine II passed after receiving care in the intensive care unit. A cause of death has not been revealed.
The former ruler, who is the son of King George II's younger brother King Paul, led a life with many milestones. Prior to becoming King, Constantine competed in the Olympics in 1960, taking home a gold medal for sailing in the Dragon class.Three years later, in 1963, he was made an International Olympic Committee member (a membership he maintained until 1974.)

Our retrospective of the jewels and history of Greece’s royal weddings continues today with the 1964 nuptials of the country’s last king, Constantine II, and his Danish-born wife, Princess Anne-Marie.
The Greek royal family, ca. 1947: Crown Prince Constantine, Queen Friederike, Princess Sophia, King Paul, and Princess Irene (Chris Ware/Keystone Features/Getty Images)
When we left the Greek royals yesterday at the end of 1938, Crown Prince Paul and Crown Princess Friederike were happy newlyweds who had just welcomed their first child, Princess Sophia. Less than a year later, Europe was at war. Paul’s brother, King George II, sympathized with the British cause, while Prime Minister Metaxas was pro-German. An attempt was made to remain neutral. In the midst of all of these tensions, Crown Princess Friederike gave birth to her second child. Prince Constantine, named after his Greek royal grandfather, was born at the family’s home in Psychiko in June 1940. Because the Greek royal line practiced male-preference primogeniture, he took precedence over his older sister in the line of succession, becoming Crown Prince Paul’s heir and Greece’s future king.

Baby Constantine was only a few months old when the tensions rumbling in Greece began to break. War was declared between Greece and Italy in October 1940, and in April 1941, after the deaths of Metaxas and his successor, Prime Minister Koryzis, German forces invaded Greece, too. Once again, the Greek royals headed for exile. King George II headed the government in exile in Egypt, South Africa, and Britain throughout the majority of the war, supported by Crown Prince Paul. Friederike and the children stayed with the family as well. In Cape Town, South Africa, she gave birth to the couple’s second daughter, Princess Irene, in 1942. After the end of the war, the royals returned to Greece, arriving triumphantly in Athens in September 1946.

But King George II’s reign only lasted a short while longer. In April 1947, he died suddenly in Athens from a heart condition. Six-year-old Constantine’s father now became King Paul of the Hellenes, and Constantine became Greece’s crown prince. The little prince walked in his uncle’s funeral procession, holding his father’s hand. The Associated Press reported that Constantine, “wearing gray flannel shorts and a white shirt, received an occasional reminder from his father to keep his eyes straight ahead, in keeping with royal demeanor.”

King Paul held on to the throne through Crown Prince Constantine’s childhood, even in the midst of civil war in Greece. Constantine was sent to boarding schools, including Victoria College in Egypt, and received military training. Athletically talented, he earned a black belt in karate and a gold medal in sailing at the 1960 Summer Olympics. He was also a fixture at royal occasions, serving as a train bearer at the wedding of his cousin, King Michael of Romania, in 1948, and accompanying his parents and sisters at events in Greece and abroad.
One of these royal events, a family holiday in Denmark in September 1959, would change the course of Constantine’s life. Crown Princess Margrethe of Denmark threw a ball for young royals at Fredensborg Palace, and Crown Prince Constantine, Princess Sophia, and Princess Irene were all in attendance, along with Crown Prince Harald of Norway and Princess Desiree of Sweden. Rumors in the press at the time linked nineteen-year-old Constantine with Desiree. He did end up meeting his future wife on the trip — but it wasn’t Desiree.
The Danish royal family, ca. 1959 (L-R): King Frederik IX, Queen Ingrid, Princess Benedikte (seated), Crown Princess Margrethe, Princess Anne-Marie
Like King Paul and Queen Friederike of the Hellenes, King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark were royal cousins who had married in the 1930s and had three children. Crown Princess Margrethe, the country’s future monarch, was born in April 1940, just a few months before Crown Prince Constantine. Two more daughters had followed: Princess Benedikte in April 1944, and Princess Anne-Marie in August 1946. Moreover, Frederik and Paul had acceded to their respective thrones almost simultaneously, both becoming king in April 1947. And, of course, all of them were related in numerous ways. Frederik, Paul, and Friederike were all descendants of King Christian IX of Denmark, while Ingrid, Paul, and Friederike were all descendants of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Paul and Frederik were also both great-great-grandsons of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia.
Frederik, Ingrid, and their daughters were close. All three were educated in a private school in Copenhagen before attending finishing schools in England and Switzerland. Anne-Marie, the youngest and most mischievous, was called “the Wild One” by the Danes. She also reportedly possessed a serious stubborn streak, and was reportedly her father’s favorite. One palace source told the press later, “She is the charmer and humorist of the royal family. Life is always fun when she is around.” As a young woman, the press depicted her as a typical teen, interested in fashion, movies, and pop music.
During the visit of their royal relatives in 1959, King Frederik IX decided to take several of the children and teenagers to see a traveling circus that was open near Grasten Castle. Nineteen-year-old Crown Prince Constantine was one of the attendees; he was seated next to thirteen-year-old Princess Anne-Marie. Though Anne-Marie spoke no Greek, and Constantine little Danish, the two shared English as a common language. The crown prince and princess “hardly were aware of each other’s existence” until that circus visit, according to the press, and Anne-Marie “was a little awed by him.” But a Danish courtier downplayed the idea that any romance was involved in the moment: “Frankly I don’t think it was love at first sight. Anne-Marie probably was much more interested in the animals,” and rightfully so — she was a child, after all. Nevertheless, the circus trip would go down in history as the significant moment when Greece’s future king first met his future wife.
It took years for the youthful friendship to blossom into romance. Constantine and Anne-Marie found themselves in each other’s company multiple times over the next few years, as Constantine was a frequent visitor to Scandinavia. There were plenty of opportunities for Constantine’s eyes to be turned toward other eligible young women. Like his father before him, Constantine’s name was linked in the press with an young Greek woman, the famous blonde actress Aliki Vougiouklaki. Moreover, his parents, King Paul and Queen Friederike, were famous for organizing parties and holidays for all the young royals to attend, both to promote Greek tourism and to give the young royals a chance to meet each other. More than one royal engagement resulted from these parties, including that of Constantine’s sister, Princess Sophia, and Infante Juan Carlos of Spain.

In May 1962, Princess Anne-Marie arrived in Greece to serve as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Juan Carlos and Sophia. Constantine and Anne-Marie were reportedly inseparable during the wedding festivities. Soon after, one gossip columnist enthused, “The romance between Crown Prince Constantine of Greece and 15-year-old Anna Maria, the youngest daughter of the King of Denmark, is picking up steam. Anna Maria recently left her family to go alone to Norway where Constantine was boat racing. And last week when the Princess returned to Copenhagen, Constantine was right behind her. All this should make Queen Frederika, Constantine’s mother, jump up and down with glee.” On one of Anne-Marie’s birthdays, Constantine surprised her with a visit to her school in Copenhagen. As he sang “Happy Birthday,” she “ran down the stairway, tripped three steps from the bottom and sprawled headlong at his feet in an unladylike heap. She was unhurt, and there was laughter.” In October 1962, Anne-Marie and Constantine were spotted leaving an Athens theater together after a violin concert. Engagement speculation reached an all-time high, even though Anne-Marie was still only sixteen years old.

The press didn’t know it at the time, but the couple was already privately engaged, and reportedly had been since that boat racing trip in Norway. King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid initially balked at the idea of their youngest daughter’s engagement to the future king, largely because she was so young and still attending school. King Frederik was also, quite naturally, very concerned about the political future of the royal family in Greece. One courtier anonymously told a newspaper as early as 1964, “Anne-Marie has been reared to be a princess and a queen, but I’m afraid it might not be long before she is thrown out of Greece, and her father is aware of that.” In the end, Frederik and Ingrid relented only when the couple agreed that they would not marry until Anne-Marie had turned eighteen and finished her education. To help guard against the political dangers, Frederik made the decision to appoint a separate and seasoned Danish ambassador to Athens, a diplomatic role that had previously been handled by their ambassador in Ankara.

On a frigid, windy day in January 23, 1963, King Paul and Queen Friederike arrived in Copenhagen for the official announcement of Constantine’s engagement to the young Danish princess. The newly-engaged couple appeared in public at the airport holding hands. The Associated Press marveled that the “engagement, long rumored and often denied, was announced almost without warning,” adding that “Amalienborg Palace did not immediately disclose when and where the wedding [would] take place.” Unofficially, plans were made to hold the ceremony two years later, in early 1965, though gossipy press reports claimed that Queen Friederike, worried about the state of the Greek monarchy, had pressed hard to have the wedding held much sooner.

In the interim, the Danish royals became frequent visitors to Athens, giving the Greeks plenty of opportunities to see their future queen. One of their most prominent appearances there came in March 1963, when the entire Danish royal family traveled to Greece for the celebration of the centenary of the Greek monarchy, as the first modern king of Greece (George I) had been born a Danish prince. In a toast to the Danish royals, King Paul proclaimed, “The welcome of the Greek people has given you a clear picture of what we all feel in Greece for the people of Denmark and your royal family.”

But of course — as always seems to be true for the Greek royals — tragedy and disruption was lurking just around the corner. A political crisis was brewing once again in Greece, and demonstrators were vocal about their dislike of the royal family when King Paul and Queen Friederike visited London in July 1963. And then, King Paul’s health began to fail. He’d undergone an operation to remove his appendix in May 1963, and further surgery was done in February 1964. The diagnosis was stomach cancer. Sixty-two-year-old King Paul died in Athens on March 6, 1964, making his son, twenty-three-year-old King Constantine II of the Hellenes, the youngest European head of state. His younger sister, now Crown Princess Irene, temporarily became the heir to the Greek throne. Princess Anne-Marie attended the late king’s state funeral with the rest of the Greek royals and her parents. (Another Greek family member, the Duke of Edinburgh, had to rush to Athens for the funeral, which was held less than 48 hours after the birth of his youngest child, the Earl of Wessex.)

After King Paul’s sudden death, a plan to push the wedding forward was put in motion. The official period of mourning for the late king would end in September. Anne-Marie’s eighteenth birthday was on August 30, 1964, and the wedding was scheduled for three weeks later. The princess celebrated the milestone privately with family at Fredensborg Palace, and was given her first tiara, the Antique Corsage Tiara, as a birthday gift. A week later, Constantine arrived in Copenhagen for a series of pre-wedding festivities. On September 8, the couple was feted with a gala performance at the Danish National Theatre, followed by a state banquet for a thousand guests at Christiansborg Palace. For that event, Anne-Marie wore her birthday-gift tiara in public for the first time.

An estimated crowd of 100,000 people gathered in the streets of Copenhagen to bid farewell to their princess on September 9 as she and Constantine rode through the rain-soaked streets of the capital in an open carriage. At a luncheon at the city hall, Anne-Marie gave a final speech: “This is a strange day for me, because this is the last time I will stand here as a Dane in my own country and my native city. So therefore I would like to say a deeply felt thank you to the many people all over the country who, with their greetings and gifts, have shown that they think of me. I am completely overwhelmed and deeply grateful.”
King Constantine II flew to Greece with Crown Princess Margrethe to await his bride, who traveled with her parents and Princess Benedikte to the Italian port of Brindisi, where they boarded the royal yacht, Dannebrog, to sail to Greece. Once the yacht approached the port of Piraeus, Constantine went aboard so that he could formally escort his bride on to the Greek shore. On September 11, shortly after the family’s arrival, the Greek government hosted a gala for the royals at the Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens. At that gala, Princess Anne-Marie wore Greek royal jewels for the first time: the tiara and coordinating pieces from the family’s ruby parure, a gift from her new mother-in-law. (The jewels were also displayed with her wedding gifts.) The next few days were packed with receptions aimed at introducing Anne-Marie to the locals, including several parties at Tatoi Palace and a festival hosted by the armed forces at the Olympic Stadium. Though she was welcomed enthusiastically by many Greeks, she still struggled with their language. When King Constantine told reporters that Anne-Marie knew only five words of Greek, she interrupted: “Your Majesty is wrong. I know 25 Greek words.”
Guests from around the world descended upon Athens as the whirlwind of wedding festivities began. Lynda Bird Johnson, the young daughter of the American president, arrived to represent her father. An entire continent’s worth of monarchs were present in Athens, including King Gustaf VI Adolf (the bride’s grandfather) and Queen Louise of Sweden, King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola of Belgium, King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand, Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (with Princess Beatrix), King Hussein (who had attended school with Constantine) and Princess Muna of Jordan, King Olav V of Norway (with Crown Prince Harald), Prince Franz Joseph and Princess Gina of Liechtenstein, and Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace of Monaco. (Both Queen Louise and Princess Grace attended some of the festivities but had to sit out the actual wedding ceremony due to the heat. Louise was in frail health, and Grace was expecting Princess Stephanie.) The former kings of Bulgaria, Romania, and Italy were also on the guest list, as were Hereditary Grand Duke Jean and Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte of Luxembourg and Lord Mountbatten. The only reigning European monarch not in attendance was Queen Elizabeth II, who was represented by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Princess Andrew, Prince Charles, and Princess Anne arrive for the wedding
The Greek royal family brought an impressive contingent of extended relatives, too. Constantine’s aunts and uncle, Queen Helen of Romania, Princess Irene, Duchess of Aosta, and Lady Katherine and Major Richard Brandram, were in attendance; so were Princess Andrew (with the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, and Princess Anne), Prince Michael, Princess Eugenie (with her husband and children), King Michael and Queen Anne of Romania with Princess Margareta, Princess Marina (with Prince Michael of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Angus Ogilvy), Princess Olga, and Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia. From Queen Friederike’s side of the family, Constantine’s grandmother, the Duchess of Brunswick, was present; his uncle, Prince Georg Wilhelm of Hanover, also attended with his wife, Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark, and their children, Karl and Clarissa. Constantine’s sister, Sofia, attended with her husband, Juan Carlos; his sister, Infanta Pilar of Spain; and their parents, the Count and Countess of Barcelona.

The family celebrated at a grand state ball on September 16 at the Royal Palace in Athens, which featured dozens of royals wearing “several million dollars worth of jewels, tiaras and handmade gowns,” according to press reports. Princess Anne-Marie debuted another wedding gift from Queen Friederike: the grand Greek Emerald Parure, set with Romanov stones that came to the country with Queen Olga.

Queen Friederike wore Queen Sophie’s Diamond Tiara, plus her convertible pearl and diamond necklace with Queen Marie of Romania’s sapphire pendant. In the background of the photo, you’ll also spot Queen Ingrid wearing the Danish rubies, and Queen Sirikit of Thailand wearing a diamond tiara.

Crown Princess Margrethe wore the Alexandrine Diamond Drop Tiara, Princess Benedikte wore her Floral Birthday Tiara, and Princess Irene wore Queen Sophie’s Diamond Circle Tiara.

The rest of the royals wore some seriously impressive jewels, too. Just to name a few … Marie Jose, the former queen of Italy, wore her grand diamond tiara by Musy. Queen Juliana of the Netherlands wore the Stuart Tiara. Queen Fabiola of the Belgians wore the Spanish Wedding Gift Tiara in its floral wreath form. The Countess of Barcelona wore her Diamond Loop Tiara. Queen Sofia of Spain, then still Princess Sofia, wore the Prussian Tiara. Princess Grace of Monaco wore a red gown with her small diamond tiara. Princess Claude of Orleans — who had married Constantine’s first cousin, Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, only weeks earlier — wore the family’s diamond tiara with stars and Aosta knots. Can you imagine what it must have been like to stand in that ballroom?!?
On the day of the wedding, September 18, 1964, Princess Anne-Marie dressed in a white gown by the Danish designer Jørgen Bender. (When Constantine had asked her earlier what her wedding gown looked like, she reportedly replied cheekily, “It’s bright red.”) In reality, her dress was “of duchesse satin, in classic Greek style with a high waist and simple lines” and ended “in a short train of frilled silk organza, while another train 40 feet long fell from her shoulders and was carried by her six bridesmaids.” Those bridesmaids, all royal princesses, were Princess Christina of Sweden, Princess Anne of the United Kingdom, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, Princess Clarissa of Hesse, Princess Margareta of Romania, and Princess Tatiana Radziwill.

Princess Anne-Marie’s veil and tiara were both important royal heirlooms. Both had belonged to her late grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught. The veil had been one of Margaret’s wedding gifts, and Queen Ingrid wore it on her own wedding day. Anne-Marie’s bridal diadem, the Khedive of Egypt Tiara, was also one of Margaret’s wedding gifts. Anne-Marie was the first royal bride to wear the Khedive Tiara, a tradition that was followed by both of her sisters, her daughter, and her two nieces. She also wore a simple necklace with a large diamond cross.
Queen Friederike puts wedding rings on the couple’s fingers
Inside Athens’s Metropolitan Cathedral, King Constantine and Princess Anne-Marie were married by the Archbishop of Athens. Their chief sponsor for the wedding was Queen Friederike, who placed on their fingers golden wedding rings made from melted down coins from the reign of Alexander the Great. While Anne-Marie “showed only a few momentary traces of nervousness” during the ceremony, the press reported that “Constantine was so nervous that he had to blink back tears .. white-faced and obviously suffering from nerves that threatened to take control.” The guests sweated in the heat of the cathedral.

But the ceremony proceeded without any major disruptions, save one moment when Anne-Marie got a minor case of the giggles, and another when Queen Friederike nearly clobbered Prince Charles with one of the gold wedding crowns. (One newspaper dead-panned that “Charles did not duck, but he eyed the heavy crowns with concern.”) In total, nine royal men served as crown bearers during the wedding ceremony: Prince Charles, Crown Prince Harald of Norway, Crown Prince Carl Gustaf of Sweden, Prince Ingolf of Denmark, Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark, Prince Michael of Kent, Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia, Prince Karl of Hesse, and Count Michael Bernadotte af Wisborg.
Queen Ingrid wore a deep turquoise gown and matching feathered hat for the wedding. She accessorized with pieces from the married Pearl Poire Parure — the earrings, necklace, and brooch.
Here’s another view where you can spot some of the guests’ jewels. Princess Benedikte wore a multi-stranded necklace of pearls, while Queen Fabiola wore the necklace setting of the Spanish Wedding Gift Tiara (with rubies).

When the forty-five minute ceremony ended, King Constantine and the new Queen Anne-Marie emerged into the brilliant Greek sunlight. The couple processed through the streets of Athens in an open carriage pulled by six white horses under a blue sky. Press reports estimated that a million Greeks thronged the streets to see the couple pass by. (The wedding day had been declared a national holiday.) A 101-gun salute was fired from Mount Lycabettus, and church bells rang throughout Athens. The couple and their guests arrived back at the palace for a wedding banquet. Later, the couple departed for an island honeymoon in the Aegean Sea.

Though their wedding day was an especially lovely one, and the couple’s marriage has endured, Anne-Marie’s father was right to be worried about their future in Greece. The couple went into exile following a military coup in 1967, and the Greek monarchy was officially abolished by referendum seven years later. The couple raised five children — Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora, and Prince Philippos — in England, but in recent years, they’ve been allowed to return to Greece. In September 2014, they were able to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary with their family in Athens.

quote Are any of Queen Anne Marie's children also residing in Greece? My thought process was that the Queen and the late King were the onnly members of the royal family that had taken residence in Greece. Therefore one would think the Queen would move to Denmark to be closer to her Danish family perhaps i.e. for support after this large loss in her life now. Even though Queen Anne-Marie only spent the first 3 years of her marriage and the last 10 years in Greece almost her entire life has been spent somehow connected to Greek interests. She and King Constantine founded the bilingual Hellenic College of London and that is where their children attended school. Her second son Nikolaos and his wife Tatiana live in Athens. Her elder daughter Princess Alexia lives on Lanzorote in the Canary Islands Crown Prince Pavlos lives in New York City as does her youngest son Prince Phillipos. Her younger daughter lives in Los Angeles. quote Since my last post the spokesperson for the Greek Royal Family Ivi Macris has issued a statement saying that Queen Anne Marie will remain domicile in Athens. At the same time a statement was made regarding Crown Prince Pavlos stating that he has no intention of relocating from New York to Greece. There were rumours floating around that he was going to move to Greece. quote Thank you Kirsten Tak . Yes I wasn't sure if the children of the senior Greek royal family Constantine Anne-Marie had settled in Greece. Therefore I surmised she may move back to Denmark to be closer to her sister Queen Margrethe. Anyhow may HM King Constantine rest in peace. quote Sorry Jason I don't know the answer to your question about smoking. I do know that Princess Benedikte smoked before her marriage but quit before she had children so she quit a long time ago. As to whether Queen Anne-Marie will move to Denmark of course I don't know but I rather doubt it as she has family in Greece and Spain. Her visits to Denmark may be longer in duration though as she and her sisters enjoy time spent together. quote In the photo King Constantine is enjoying a smoke whilst holding a cup of hot beverage. However did or does Queen Anne-Marie smoke as well? I know that her parents King Frederik and Queen Ingrid both smoked as well as Queen Margrethe. Also I am wondering if Queen Anne-Marie will stay in Greece or perhaps move back to Denmark? quote From Sweden King and Queen From Norway Crown Prince and Crown Princess quote quote quote quote quote quote

Thank you, Kirsten (Tak). Yes, I wasn't sure if the children of the senior Greek royal family, Constantine & Anne-Marie, had settled in Greece. Therefore, I surmised she may move back to Denmark to be closer to her sister, Queen Margrethe. Anyhow, may HM King Constantine rest in peace.

The country of origin of this photograph is Italy. It is in the public domain there because its copyright term has expired. According to Law for the Protection of Copyright and Neighbouring Rights n.633, 22 April 1941 and later revisions, images of people or of aspects, elements and facts of natural or social life, obtained with photographic process or with an analogue one, including reproductions of figurative art and film frames of film stocks (Art. 87) are protected for a period of 20 years from creation (Art. 92). This provision shall not apply to photographs of writings, documents, business papers, material objects, technical drawings and similar products (Art. 87). Italian law makes an important distinction between "works of photographic art" and "simple photographs" (Art. 2, § 7). Photographs that are "intellectual work with creative characteristics" are protected for 70 years after the author's death (Art. 32 bis), whereas simple photographs are protected for a period of 20 years from creation.
This may not apply in countries that don't apply the rule of the shorter term to works from Italy. In particular, these are in the public domain in the United States only if:
wasn't in copyright in the United States due to being registered for copyright there (see Commons:Copyright tags#United States for most cases) and
was created prior to 1976 and published prior to 1978 — then it was out-of-copyright in Italy on the URAA date of restoration (January 1, 1996) (17 U.S.C. § 104A) (in most cases; for all cases, see Template:PD-Italy/US). If so, please add {{PD-1996}} in addition to this copyright tag. If the image was created after 1975 or was published after 1977, please add {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece symbolically wore the glittering cross necklace from her royal wedding in 1964

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece wore a poignant piece of jewelry to the funeral of her late husband King Constantine II.
The Queen, 76, led the group of mourners who gathered for the funeral of King Constantine, who died last Tuesday at age 82. Constantine had reportedly suffered from chronic heart and mobility problems and died of a stroke after being hospitalized for breathing problems, according to The Guardian.
The King was laid to rest in Athens on Monday, where his widow wore the same diamond cross necklace she debuted on their wedding day. Constantine married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in September 1964, and the royals celebrated their 58th-anniversary last fall.
Constantine became King in 1964 at age 23 following the death of his father King Paul and married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark months later.
Constantine, who won a gold medal in sailing for his country at the 1960 Olympics, acceded the throne weeks after a vote gave control to the Center Union party over the conservatives, the Associated Press reported. Constantine later had a falling out with Prime Minister George Papandreou over control of the armed forces that led to a coup in 1967, driving him and his family to flee to Rome.
The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, but Constantine continued to use royal titles for himself and his family members. He lived most of his years in exile in Hampstead Garden Suburb in London, returning to live in Greece in 2010.
He is survived by his wife Queen Anne-Marie, their five children — Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos — and nine grandchildren, the Associated Press reported.
In the ever-connected European royal family tree, Prince Philip was first cousins with King Constantine, and Princess Anne (pictured below left) served as a bridesmaid at his wedding to Queen Anne-Marie. Princess Anne, 73, attended Constantine's funeral in Athens on Monday, standing in for her brother King Charles III. Likewise, Lady Gabriella Windsor was at the solemn service in Prince William's stead.
It is customary for senior royals in Britain to send relatives or close friends and aides to funerals on their behalf. The late Queen Elizabeth only rarely attended funerals. King Charles appears to be following the same custom and sending a family member instead.
Constantine's funeral was somewhat of a reunion for world royals. Prince Albert of Monaco was among the mourners joining royals from all over Europe paying tribute to Constantine. King Felipe and his wife Queen Letizia were also in attendance, as was Queen Margrethe of Denmark, the late King's sister-in-law.
Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were among the congregation along with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, as well as Prince Haakon of Norway and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.

The former King of Greece, Constantine II, has died at the age of 82, CNN affiliate CNN Greece reported on Tuesday.
According to CNN Greece, the former King had experienced serious health problems in the past few months and recently contracted coronavirus for the second time, which appeared to have significantly worsened his condition.
Constantine first tested positive for COVID-19 in January 2022, after being hospitalized with pneumonia the previous month, CNN Greece reported.
Constantine II was born in Psikhikó, near Athens, on June 2, 1940.
He spent World War II in exile in South Africa, returning to Greece in 1946. A year later, Constantine became crown prince when Greece’s King George II died and his brother, Paul — Constantine’s father — ascended the throne.
Constantine II became king when Paul died March 6, 1964.
That year, he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in Athens. They had five children: Prince Pavlos, Princess Alexia, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos.
After a military coup in 1967, Constantine and his family fled to Rome, and the military regime appointed a regent to take his place.
The Greek monarchy was abolished June 1, 1973, when the military regime proclaimed the country a republic — a decision that was backed by a subsequent referendum. Constantine accepted the abolition after another referendum was conducted by an elected civilian government in 1974.
That year, the former King moved from Rome to England, settling in London. In the 2000s, he became a frequent visitor to Greece.
Constantine II was the cousin of Britain’s King Charles III and the godfather of Prince William. His sister, Sofia, was queen of Spain between 1975 and 2014.

King Constantine II of Greece, King Charles III’s second cousin, will be buried in Athens next week following his death aged 82, it has been announced.
Constantine, who ascended to the throne in 1964 during a fraught period of the country’s history, spent his final moments in an intensive care unit in a private hospital in Athens.

From one Spare to another: what Harry could learn from his aunt Princess Anne
The Duke of Sussex needs to be brought back to earth, and Princess Anne is the woman for the job. Raised in her brothers’ shadow, she has learned how to succeed at the long game – and keep the family together
The former king’s private office released a statement on Wednesday reading: ‘It is with deep sadness that the Royal Family announces that HM King Constantine, beloved husband, father, and brother, passed away yesterday, January 10, 2023, while being treated at HYGEIA hospital in Greece.’
The funeral procession will be held on 16 January in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, followed by the burial at Tatoi cemetery.
The death will come as a personal loss to King Charles, 74, who shared a close friendship with his Greek relative. Constantine’s father, King Paul, was a first cousin to Prince Philip and father-in-law to Juan Carlos I of Spain. Constantine is also godfather to Prince William, 40, and spent time with him and Prince Harry when they were younger.
Following a military coup in 1967, and an unsuccessful counter-coup, Constantine II and his family moved to the UK where they bought a stunning 13-bedroom home in Hampstead, north London. The monarchy was abolished in 1973 and Constantine II was later stripped of his Greek citizenship.
King Constantine spent 46 years living in the Hampstead property with his wife Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark and their five children, who include Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, the husband of Princess Marie-Chantal and father of It girl Princess Maria-Olympia, on Linnell Drive close to Billionaire's Row, Bishops Avenue.
Diana, Princess of Wales was a frequent visitor to the house in the 1990s, reportedly seen dropping off Prince William and Prince Harry there for playdates, and holidaying with the family in Europe. King Charles hosted Constantine’s 60th birthday at his Highgrove home, with the Queen and the then Duchess of Cornwall present, while his wife's 40th birthday was a ball held at Claridge’s which saw royals from across Europe attend.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on 30 August 1946) is the current Queen consort of Greece as the wife of Constantine II, King of Greece. She is also a member of the Danish Royal Family as the daughter of King Fredrik IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden.
Life[]
Anne-Marie is the youngest sister of the reigning Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II.
Marriage and Issue[]
In 1959, thirteen-year-old Anne-Marie met her future husband, Constantine, Crown Prince of Greece, when he accompanied his parents on a state visit to Denmark. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the marriage of Constantine's sister Princess Sofia of Greece to Juan Carlos, Prince of Asturias at which Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid, and again in 1963 at the centenary celebrations of the Greek monarchy.
After the death of his father in 1964, the engagement between Constantine and 17-year-old Anne-Marie was announced. They were married on 18 September 1964 in Athens. Constantine and Anne-Marie have five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora, and Philippos.

Former Greek ruler who was toppled from the throne in a military coup that led to the abolition of the monarchy

By the standards of the hapless Greek monarchy, Constantine II, the last king of the Hellenes, who has died aged 82, led a comfortable life in exile after a brief and turbulent reign. Of the seven Greek monarchs of the 19th and 20th centuries, three were deposed, one assassinated, two abdicated and one died of septicaemia after being bitten by a barbary ape in the royal gardens.
The Glücksburg monarchy was German-Danish in origin, imposed on Greece in the 1830s. During prolonged wrangling after Constantine’s deposition, the Greek government refused to give him a passport until he acknowledged that he was Mr Glücksburg, whereas he insisted he was just plain Constantine. As the last of Greece’s deposed monarchs he escaped lightly. But decades of exile in London, as one thing the Greeks did not want back from Britain, were not how he would have chosen to spend his life.
In Hampstead Garden Suburb, Constantine lived in some state – apparently supported largely by donations from Greek monarchists – and visitors were expected to address him as Your Majesty. He was included in many invitations by the British royal family, to whom, like most of Europe’s monarchies, he was related. Prince Philip was his father’s first cousin, King Charles III his second cousin and Queen Elizabeth II a third cousin, and he was a godfather to Prince William. His wife was a Danish princess, the sister of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II, and his sister Sofía became queen of Spain. Only in Greece was he unrecognised, and he was not allowed to return to live there until 2013, long after the events that had toppled him from the throne after a military coup in 1967 and resulted in the abolition of the monarchy in Greece in 1973.
In many ways, Constantine was a victim of the vicious political infighting that has characterised Greek politics and its society for much of the period since the second world war. It perhaps needed a stronger, more experienced and more resolute approach to surmount the crises of his three-year reign than the young man in his early 20s could manage. In later life he said in an interview that he might have liked to be an actor or a journalist, but his fate was to spend his life as an ex-king, harried by Greek politicians and in turn harassing them in a prolonged legal fight for compensation for his family’s lost property, eventually through the European court of human rights.
Born in Athens, Constantine was the son of the Greek crown prince, Paul, the younger brother of King George II, and his German-born wife Princess Frederica, and was taken into exile as a baby following the Italian and then Nazi invasions of the country in 1940-41. His early years were spent first in Egypt and then in South Africa, before the family returned to Greece following the referendum that restored George to the throne in 1946. George died the following year, and Paul became king.
Constantine was educated at a private high school in Athens, modelled on the same lines as the German educationist Kurt Hahn’s principles at Gordonstoun, and afterwards attended Athens University to study law. A keen sailor, Constantine was a member of Greece’s winning sailing team at the 1960 Rome Olympics – the country’s first gold medal in nearly 50 years.
He succeeded to the throne aged 23 on his father’s death in March 1964, becoming head of state in a country that had not got over the civil war between communists and the Greek government of 1946-49, and where political tensions and divisions continued to run deep. The CIA, desperate to avoid Greece falling into communist hands, was also active in Athens. Greece was a strategic pawn between the US and the Soviet Union, each anxious to pull the country into its sphere of influence in the eastern Mediterranean. At the same time, it was attempting to modernise with social and economic reforms as an associate member and applicant to join the Common Market.
The month before Constantine came to the throne, a general election had produced a centrist – moderate, leftwing – government under George Papandreou, following 11 years of rightwing government. Within a year, relations between the king and his prime minister were breaking down. Conservative army officers were alarmed by a perceived leftwards drift among the junior ranks, who were supported by Papandreou’s Harvard-educated son Andreas. When George Papandreou announced that he would take over the defence ministry himself, Constantine refused to allow him to do so, and the government resigned. In the hiatus that followed, the king attempted to appoint a government without holding an election and was accused of acting unconstitutionally.
When elections were finally called in April 1967, the likely re-election of Papandreou was forestalled by an army coup led by colonels. Constantine initially appeared to go along with the insurgents. He argued later that he had had no choice as the palace was surrounded by army tanks, but there were also persistent suggestions that he had been urged by the American embassy to do so in order to avoid another radical government. Many Greeks and civilian politicians never forgave the king for acceding to the coup, but within months he attempted a counter-coup of his own, fleeing to loyalist troops in the northern city of Kavala that December in an attempt to create a rival military support and force the junta to resign.
The operation was poorly organised and, although the air force and navy declared their support, the army and its officers rallied to the coup leaders. Support for the king melted away within 24 hours. Fearing bloodshed if it came to a military confrontation, Constantine and his family fled into exile, first in Rome and then a few years later in London.
There was no going back for the king. The junta, led by Colonel Georgios Papadopoulos, brutally consolidated their regime using censorship, mass arrests of opponents, torture and imprisonments, and were not going to reinstate Constantine after his attempted coup. When monarchist navy officers unsuccessfully attempted to overthrow the colonels in June 1973, Papadopoulos declared the country a republic, endorsed subsequently in a plebiscite widely assumed to have been rigged.
Nonetheless, when the regime fell following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, to be succeeded by a civilian government, a further referendum was held to determine whether the king should be restored. Constantine was not allowed to return in order to campaign on his own behalf, though he was allowed to broadcast an address from London in which he apologised for his previous errors. But his maladroit interference with the civilian governments before the coup was held against him and the outcome of the vote in December 1974 was heavily in favour of a republic: by 69% to 31%.
Thereafter, for decades, Constantine was prevented from visiting Greece except briefly and on rare occasions: for his mother’s funeral in 1981 and for an attempted holiday in 1993, when he found his yacht was constantly harried by torpedo boats and aeroplanes. The following year, the Greek government revoked his citizenship and passport and seized the royal family’s property. “The law basically said that I had to go out and acquire a name. The problem is that my family originates from Denmark and the Danish royal family haven’t got a surname,” he said, adding that Glücksburg was the name of a place not a family: “I might as well call myself Mr Kensington.”
In 2000, the court of human rights found for the king in relation to the property, though it could only order compensation, not the return of his extensive estates nor the royal palace at Tatoi and awarded him only 12m euros (around £10m), rather than the 500m he had asked for: a reduction that the Greek government counted as a triumphant vindication. It nevertheless took another two years to pay the money and, when it did so, the government took it from its extraordinary natural disasters fund rather than general reserves. In retaliation, Constantine used the money to set up a charitable foundation in the name of his wife to assist Greeks suffering from natural disasters. He said: “I feel the Greek government have acted unjustly and vindictively. They treat me sometimes as if I am their enemy – I am not the enemy. I consider it the greatest insult in the world for a Greek to be told he is not a Greek.”
Generally, while expressing a wish to be allowed to live in Greece, which was granted in 2013, Constantine seemed equable about his fate and did not attempt to regain the throne. “All I want is to have my home back and to be able to travel in and out of Greece like every other Greek. I don’t have to be in Greece as head of state. I am quite happy to be there as a private citizen,” he told the Sunday Telegraph in 2000. “Forget the past, we are a republic now. Let’s get on with the future.”
Constantine is survived by his wife, Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, whom he married in 1964; and their three sons, Pavlos, Philippos and Nikolaos, and two daughters, Alexia and Theodora.

King of Greece from 1964 to 1973
Constantine II (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Βʹ, romanized: Konstantínos II, pronounced [ˌkonstaˈdinos ðefˈteros]; 2 June 1940 – 10 January 2023)[1] was the last king of Greece, reigning from 6 March 1964 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Constantine was born in Athens as the only son of Crown Prince Paul and Crown Princess Frederica of Greece. Being of Danish descent, he was also born as a prince of Denmark. As his family was forced into exile during the Second World War, he spent the first years of his childhood in Egypt and South Africa. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946 during the Greek Civil War. After Constantine's uncle George II died in 1947, Paul became the new king and Constantine the crown prince. As a young man, Constantine was a competitive sailor and Olympian, winning a gold medal in the 1960 Rome Olympics in the Dragon class along with Odysseus Eskitzoglou and George Zaimis in the yacht Nireus. From 1964, he served on the International Olympic Committee.
Constantine acceded as king following his father's death in 1964. Later that year, he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, with whom he had five children. Although the accession of the young monarch was initially regarded auspiciously, his reign saw political instability that culminated in the Colonels' Coup of 21 April 1967. The coup left Constantine, as head of state, with little room to manoeuvre since he had no loyal military forces on which to rely. He thus reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the junta, on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers. On 13 December 1967, Constantine was forced to flee the country, following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta.
Constantine formally remained Greece's head of state in exile until the junta abolished the monarchy in June 1973, a decision ratified via a referendum in July, which was contested by Constantine. After the restoration of democracy a year later, another referendum was called for December 1974, but Constantine was not allowed to return to Greece to campaign. The referendum confirmed by a majority of almost 70% the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Third Hellenic Republic. Constantine accepted the verdict of the 1974 vote.[2][3] From 1975 until 1978 he was involved in conspiracies to overthrow the government via a coup, which eventually did not materialize. After living for several decades in London, Constantine moved back to Athens in 2013. He died there in 2023 following a stroke.
Early life
[edit]
Constantine was born in the afternoon of 2 June 1940 at his parents' residence, Villa Psychiko at Leoforos Diamantidou 14 in Psychiko, an affluent suburb of Athens.[4] He was the second child and only son of Crown Prince Paul and Crown Princess Frederica. His father was the younger brother and heir presumptive of the reigning Greek king, George II, and his mother was the only daughter of Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick, and Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia.[5][6]
Prince Constantine had an elder sister, Princess Sofia, born in 1938.[5] However, since agnatic primogeniture governed the succession to throne in Greece at the time, the birth of a male heir to the throne had been anxiously awaited by the Greek royal family, and the newborn prince was therefore received with joy by his parents. His birth was celebrated with a 101–gun salute from Mount Lycabettus in Athens, which, according to tradition, announced that the newborn was a boy.[9] According to Greek naming practices, being the first son, he was named after his paternal grandfather, Constantine I, who had died in 1923.[10] At his baptism on 20 July 1940 at the Royal Palace of Athens, the Hellenic Armed Forces acted as his godparent.[12]
World War II and the exile of the royal family
[edit]
Constantine was born during the early stages of World War II. He was just a few months old when, on 28 October 1940, Fascist Italy invaded Greece from Albania, beginning the Greco-Italian War. The Greek Army was able to halt the invasion temporarily and push the Italians back into Albania. However, the Greek successes forced Nazi Germany to intervene and the Germans invaded Greece and Yugoslavia on 6 April 1941 and overran both countries within a month, despite British aid to Greece in the form of an expeditionary corps. On 22 April 1941, Princess Frederica and her two children, Sofia and Constantine, were evacuated to Crete in a British Short Sunderland flying boat along with most of the Greek royal family. The next day, they were followed by King George and Prince Paul. However the imminent German invasion of Crete quickly made the situation untenable and Constantine and his family were evacuated from Crete to Egypt on 30 April 1941, a fortnight before the German attack on the island. In Alexandria, the exiled Greek royals were welcomed by the Greek diaspora, which provided them with lodging, money and clothing. The presence of the Greek royal family and government began to worry King Farouk of Egypt and his pro-Italian ministers. Constantine and his family, therefore, had to seek another refuge where they could get through the war and continue their fight against the Axis powers. George VI of the United Kingdom opposed the presence of Princess Frederica, who was suspected of having Nazi sympathies,[20] and her children in Britain, but it was decided that Constantine's father and uncle could take up residence in London, where a government-in-exile was set up, while the rest of the family could seek refuge in the then-Union of South Africa.
On 27 June 1941, most of the Greek royal family, therefore, set off for South Africa on board the Dutch steamship Nieuw Amsterdam, which arrived in Durban on 8 July 1941. After a two-month stay in Durban, Prince Paul left for England with his brother, and Constantine then barely saw his father again for the next three years. The rest of the family settled in Cape Town, where the family was joined by a younger sister, Princess Irene, born in 1942.[5] Prince Constantine, Princess Sofia, their mother and their aunt Princess Katherine were initially lodged with South African Governor-General Patrick Duncan at his official residence Westbrooke in Cape Town.
The group subsequently moved several times until they settled in Villa Irene in Pretoria with Prime Minister Jan Smuts, who quickly became a close friend of the exiled Greeks. From early 1944, the family again took up residence in Egypt. In January 1944, Frederica was reunited with Paul in Cairo, and their children joined them in March of that year. Despite their difficult financial circumstances, the family then established friendly relations with several Egyptian personalities, including Queen Farida, whose daughters were roughly the same age as Constantine and his sisters.
After World War II and return to Greece
[edit]
In 1944, at the end of World War II, Nazi Germany gradually withdrew from Greece. While the majority of exiled Greeks were able to return to their country, the royal family had to remain in exile because of the growing republican opposition at home. Britain tried to reinstate King George, who remained in exile in London, but most of the resistance, in particular the communists, were opposed. Instead, George had to appoint from exile a Regency Council headed by Archbishop Damaskinos of Athens, who immediately appointed a republican-majority government headed by Nikolaos Plastiras. George, who was humiliated, ill and powerless, considered abdicating for a time in favour of his brother, but eventually decided against it.
Prince Paul, who was more combative but also more popular than his brother, would have liked to return to Greece as heir to the throne as early as the liberation of Athens in 1944, as he believed that back in his country he would have been quickly proclaimed regent, which would have blocked the way for Damaskinos and made it easier to restore the monarchy.
However, the unstable situation in the country and the polarisation between communists and bourgeois allowed the monarchists to return to power after the parliamentary elections of March 1946. After becoming prime minister, Konstantinos Tsaldaris organised a referendum on 1 September 1946 with the aim of allowing George to return to the throne. The majority in the referendum was in favour of reinstating the monarchy, at which time Constantine and his family also returned to Greece. In a country still suffering from rationing and deprivation, they moved back to the villa in Psychikó. It was there that Paul and Frederica chose to start a small school, where Constantine and his sisters received their first education under the supervision of Jocelin Winthrop Young, a British disciple of the German-Jewish educator Kurt Hahn.[39]
The tension between communists and conservatives led, in the following years, to the Greek Civil War. That conflict was fought mainly in northern Greece. The Civil War ended in 1949, with the victory of the bourgeois and royalists, who had been supported by Britain and the United States.[40]
Crown Prince
[edit]
Education
[edit]
During the Civil War, on 1 April 1947, George died. Thus, Constantine's father ascended the throne, and Constantine himself became Crown Prince of Greece at the age of six.[41][42] He then moved with his family from the villa in Psychiko to Tatoi Palace at the foot of the Parnitha Mountains in the northern part of the Attica peninsula.
The first years of Paul's reign did not bring great upheavals in his son's daily life. Constantine and his sisters were brought up relatively simply, and communication was at the heart of the pedagogy of their parents, who spent all the time they could with their children. Supervised by various British governesses and tutors, the children spoke English in the family but were also fluent in Greek. Until he was nine, Constantine continued to be educated with his sisters and other companions from Athens' wealthier population in the villa at Psychiko.
After that age, Paul decided to begin preparing his son for the throne. He then started at the Anávryta lyceum in Marousi, northeast of Athens, which also followed Kurt Hahn's pedagogy. He attended school there as a boarder between 1950 and 1958,[47] while his sisters attended school in Salem, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. From 1955, Constantine served in all three branches of the Hellenic Armed Forces, attending the requisite military academies. He also attended the NATO Air Force Special Weapons School in Germany, as well as the University of Athens, where he took courses in the school of law.[6] In 1955, he received the title of Duke of Sparta.[50]
Sailing and the Olympic Games
[edit]
Constantine was an able sportsman. In 1958, Paul gave his son a Lightning class sailing boat for Christmas. Subsequently, Constantine spent most of his free time training with the boat on the Saronic Gulf. After a few months, the Greek Navy gave the prince a Dragon class sailing boat, with which he decided to participate in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome. At the opening of the Games in Rome, he was the flag bearer for the Greek team.[52] He won an Olympic gold medal in Sailing (Dragon class), which was the first Greek gold medal since the Stockholm 1912 Summer Olympics.[53] Constantine was the helmsman of the boat Nireus and other members of the team included Odysseus Eskitzoglou and Georgios Zaimis.[52]
Constantine was also a strong swimmer and had a black belt in karate, with interests in squash, track events, and riding.[6] In 1963, Constantine became a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He resigned in 1974 because he was no longer a Greek resident, and was made an honorary IOC member.[54] He was an honorary member of the International Soling Association[55] and president of the International Dragon Association.[56]
Reign
[edit]
Accession
[edit]
In 1964, Paul's health deteriorated rapidly. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer and underwent surgery for an ulcer in February. Prior to this, Constantine had already been appointed regent for his ailing father while waiting for his recovery.[58] During his regency, Constantine limited himself to signing decrees and appointing members of the government, as well as accepting their resignations.[50] As the king's condition worsened, the crown prince went to Tinos to attain an icon considered miraculous by the Greek Orthodox Church. On 6 March 1964, Paul died and the 23-year-old Constantine succeeded him as King of the Hellenes. The new king ascended the throne as Constantine II, although some of his supporters preferred to call him Constantine XIII to emphasize the supposed continuity between the former Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Greece. On 23 March 1964, he was sworn in before the parliament and was invested as chief of the armed forces with the highest ranks in each branch.[52][63]
Due to his youth, Constantine was also perceived as a promise of change. Greece was still feeling the effects of the Civil War and society was strongly polarised between the royalist-conservative right wing and the liberal-socialist left wing. The accession of Constantine coincided with the recent election of centrist George Papandreou as prime minister in February 1964, which ended 11 years of right-wing rule by the National Radical Union (ERE). The Greek society hoped that the new young king and the new prime minister would be able to overcome past dissensions.[64]
Apostasia of 1965
[edit]
Constantine succeeded to the throne at a time when Greek society was experiencing economic and employment growth, but also political crises and violent social protests.[65] Political instability worsened in 1965. At a meeting with Papandreou that took place on 11 July 1965 in Korfu, Constantine requested that those implicated in the ASPIDA scandal, in which several military officials tried to prevent attempts by the extreme right-wing military to seize power, be referred to a military tribunal.[52][66] Papandreou agreed and raised with him his intention to dismiss the then minister of defence, Petros Garoufalias, so that he could take charge himself of the ministry.[52] Constantine refused, as the scandal wrongly implicated the prime minister's son, Andreas Papandreou.[52] After several clashes by letter between the monarch and the prime minister, Papandreou resigned on 15 July.[67][68] Following the resignation, at least 39 members of Parliament left Center Union.[65]
Constantine appointed a new government led by Georgios Athanasiadis-Novas, speaker of the parliament, which was formed by defectors disaffected with the Papandreous (the 'Apostates').[67][68] Soon, thousands of citizens took to the streets to protest against Constantine's decision, unprecedented protests that led to clashes with the Cities Police.[65][67] On 21 July 1965, the protests in the centre of Athens came to a head, and in one of these clashes a policeman killed the 25-year-old student Sotiris Petroulas, leader of the student movement and of the "Lambrakis Youth". His death became a symbol of the protests and his funeral was widely attended.[68][65] Athanasiadis-Novas's government did not receive a vote of confidence from parliament and Athanasiadis-Novas resigned on 5 August 1965. The two big parties, National Radical Union and Center Union, asked Constantine to call elections, but he asked Stefanos Stefanopoulos to form a government. He then ordered Ilias Tsirimokos to form a government on 18 August but he did not receive the vote of confidence of the parliament on a vote on 28 August either. Constantine finally ordered Stefanopoulos to form a government and obtained the parliamentary confidence on 17 December 1965. An end to the crisis seemed in sight when on 20 December 1966, Papandreou, ERE leader Panagiotis Kanellopoulos and the king reached a resolution; elections would be held under a straightforward system of proportional representation where all parties participating agreed to compete, and that, in any outcome, the command structure of the army would not be altered.[69] The third "apostate" government fell on 22 December 1966, and was succeeded by Ioannis Paraskevopoulos, who was to govern until the parliamentary elections of 28 May 1967, which were expected to favour a victory for Georgios Papandreou's Centre Union.[70][71] Paraskevopoulos resigned and Kanellopoulos stepped in to fill the role of the Prime Minister on 3 April 1967 until the election.[72]
Greek dictatorship of 1967–1974
[edit]
Main article: Greek junta
Historians have suspected that Constantine and his mother were interested in a coup d'état from mid-1965 at the latest. US Army Attaché Charles Perkins reported that military right-wing group "Sacred Bond of Greek Officers" (IDEA) "plans for coup and military dictatorship in Greece", that Constantine was aware and that the group was aware that any operation in this direction with the cooperation of the US must have the permission of the king.[73] According to Charilaos Lagoudakis, a US State Department expert on Greece, by mid-1966 Constantine had already approved a coup plan.[73] On the other hand, historian C.M. Woodhouse rejects any involvement of Constantine in the conspiracy.[73]
A traditionalist, right-wing nationalist group of middle-ranking army officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos took action first and staged a coup d'état on 21 April using the fear of "communist danger" as the main reason for the coup.[71] Tanks rolled through the streets of Athens, rifle shots were heard and military songs were played on the radio until the announcement that "The Hellenic Armed Forces have undertaken the governance of the country" was made public. Some high-ranking politicians were arrested, as well as the commander-in-chief of the army.[74] The coup leaders met Constantine at his residence in Tatoi at about 7 a.m, which was surrounded by tanks to prevent resistance and the coup seemed to have succeeded bloodlessly. Constantine later recounted that the officers of the tank platoons believed they were carrying out the coup under his orders.[75] They asked Constantine to swear in the new government. Despite the detained Prime Minister Knellopoulos urging resistance, Constantine compromised with them to avoid bloodshed and in the afternoon swore in a new military government. He did, however, insist on appointing Supreme Court prosecutor Konstantinos Kollias as prime minister.[71] On 26 April, in his speech on the new regime, he affirmed that "I am sure that with the will of God, with your efforts and above all with the help of the people, the organization of a State of Law, an authentic and healthy democracy".[68] According to the then-US ambassador to Greece, Phillips Talbot, Constantine expressed his anger at this situation, revealed to him that he no longer had control of the army and claimed that "incredibly stupid extreme right-wing bastards with control of the tanks are leading Greece to destruction".[76]
From his inauguration as king, Constantine already manifested his disagreements with Archbishop Chrysostomos II of Athens. With the military dictatorship, he had the opportunity to be removed from the Greek Orthodox Cephaly, in fact it was one of the first measures with which Constantine collaborated with the Junta. On 28 April 1967, Chrysostomos II was retained and was forced to resign after having to sign one of the two versions of the letter brought to him by an official of the royal palace. Finally, Ieronymos Kotsonis was elected as metropolitan by the junta's and Constantine's proposal on 13 May 1967.[77]
Royal countercoup of 13 December 1967 and exile
[edit]
From the outset, the relationship between Constantine and the regime of the colonels was an uneasy one, especially when he refused to sign the decree imposing martial law and asked Talbot to flee Greece in an American helicopter with his family.[78][76] But the administration of US president Lyndon B. Johnson wanted to keep Constantine in Greece to negotiate with the junta for the return of democracy.[76] The presence of the United States Sixth Fleet in the Aegean Sea outraged the junta government, which forced Constantine to get rid of his private secretary, Michail Arnaoutis [el].[76] Arnaoutis, who had served as the king's military instructor in the 1950s and became his close friend, was generally reviled among the public for his role in the palace intrigues of the previous years. The junta, considering him an able and dangerous plotter, dismissed him from the army.[79] The king and his entourage were beginning to worry that the future of the monarchy was endangered.[76] Constantine visited the United States in the following days and in a meeting with Johnson, Constantine asked for military aid for a countercoup he was planning, but without success.[76] The junta, however, had information about Constantine's conspiracy.[76] Constantine later described himself as having the idea of a countercoup ten minutes after he found out about the junta's rise to power.[80]
Constantine began negotiations with the officials loyal to him in the summer of 1967. His objective was to mobilise the units of the army loyal to him and to restore parliamentary legitimacy. The action was planned by Lieutenant General Konstantinos Dovas.[76] Several military authorities joined the plan, including lieutenant general Antonakos, chief of the air force, Konstantinos Kollias, lieutenant general Kechagias, Ioannis Manettas, brigadier generals Erselman and Vidalis, major general Zalochoris, and others, so it was expected that the counterattack would be successful.[76] The king communicated with Konstantinos Karamanlis, who was exiled in Paris and aware of the plot, and attempted to persuade him return to assume the post of prime minister if this movement was successful, but he refused.[76] The main objective of the plan drawn up by the movement was that all the units initiated would occupy Thessaloniki and the king would send a message to the public.[76] It would follow the military operations in Tempi, Larissa and Lamia by the army and the swearing in of a new government by Archbishop Ieronymos with the participation of the centrist Georgios Mavros.[76] Constantine and the involved officials began to realise that the plan could fail as they didn't count on the active support of American intelligence, who were aware of the details of the plan.[76] They intended to initiate their plan on the day of a military parade scheduled for 28 October, but the junta-installed Chief of the Hellenic Army General Staff, Odysseas Angelis, refused to mobilise the units that Georgios Peridis requested. The abortive attempt, along with the visit of Constantine together with Peridis to some military divisions, were noted by the junta.[76]
On the morning of the day the countercoup had been rescheduled to, 13 December 1967, after eight months of planning the countercoup,[80] the royal family flew to Kavala, east of Thessaloniki, accompanied by Prime Minister Konstantinos Kollias who was informed at that moment of Constantine's plan. They arrived at 11:30 a.m. and were well received by the citizens.[76] But some conspirators were neutralised, such as General Manettas, and Odysseas Angelis informed the public of the plan, asking citizens to obey his orders minutes before telecommunications were cut off.[76] By noon, all the airbases, except one in Athens, had joined the royalist movement, and fleet leader Vice Admiral Dedes, before being arrested, ordered successfully the whole fleet sail towards Kavala in obedience to the king.[76] They did not manage to take Thessaloniki and it soon became apparent that the senior officers were not in control of their units. This, along with the arrest of several officers, including the capture of Peridis that afternoon, and the delay in the execution of some orders, led to the countercoup's failure.[76]
The junta, led by Georgios Papadopoulos, on the same day appointed General Georgios Zoitakis as Regent of Greece. Archbishop Ieronymos swore Zoitakis into office in Athens.[76] Constantine, the royal family and Konstantinos Kollias took off in torrential rain from Kavala for exile in Rome, where they arrived at 4 p.m. on 14 December, with their plane having only five minutes of fuel left.[80] In 2004, Constantine said that he would have done everything the same, but with more caution. Two weeks after his exile, photos of Constantine and his family celebrating Christmas with normality in the Greek Ambassador to Italy's home reached Greek media, which didn't do Constantine's reputation "any favour".[80] He remained in exile in Italy through the rest of military rule, although he technically continued as king until 1 June 1973. He was never to return to Greece as a reigning monarch.[76]
Constantine stated, "I am sure I shall go back the way my ancestors did."[78] He said to the Toronto Star:
I consider myself King of the Hellenes and sole expression of legality in my country until the Greek people freely decide otherwise. I fully expected that the (military) regime would depose me eventually. They are frightened of the Crown because it is a unifying force among the people.[6]
Throughout the dictatorship, Constantine maintained contact with the junta, maintaining direct communication with the colonels and kept the royal subsidy until 1973.[68] On 21 March 1972, Papadopoulos became Regent.[81] At the end of May 1973, senior officers of the Greek navy organised an abortive coup to overthrow the junta government, but failed.[68][63] The dictators considered Constantine to be involved, so on 1 June, with a constitutional act, Papadopoulos declared the monarchy abolished. He converted the country into a presidential and parliamentary state and assumed the interim presidency of the republic.[68][63] In June 1973, Papadopoulos condemned Constantine as "a collaborator with foreign forces and with murderers" and accused him of "pursuing ambitions to become a political leader".[6] The referendum of 29 July confirmed the end of the Greek monarchy and the end of the reign of Constantine.[68][63] That year, the junta expropriated the palace of Tatoi and offered the king 120 million drachmas, money that Constantine refused.[82]
Restoration of democracy and the referendum
[edit]
Main article: Metapolitefsi
The Turkish invasion of Cyprus led to the downfall of the military regime, and Konstantinos Karamanlis returned from exile to become prime minister. The 1973 republican constitution was regarded as illegitimate, and the new administration issued a decree restoring the 1952 constitution. Constantine expected an invitation to return.[6] On 24 July, he declared his "deep satisfaction with the initiative of the armed forces in overthrowing the dictatorial regime" and welcomed the advent of Karamanlis as prime minister.[83]
Following the appointment of a civilian government in November 1974 after the first post-junta legislative election, Karamanlis called a referendum, held on 8 December 1974, on whether Greece would restore the monarchy or remain a republic.[68] Although he had been the leader of the traditionally monarchist right, Karamanlis made no attempt to encourage a vote in favour of restoring the monarch. The king was not allowed by the government to return to Greece to campaign for the restoration of constitutional monarchy. He was only allowed to broadcast to the Greek people from London on television. Analysts claim this was a deliberate act by the government to reduce the possibility of a vote in favour of restoration.[84]
Constantine, speaking from London, said he had made mistakes in the past. He said he would always be supportive of democracy in future and promised that his mother would stay away from the country.[6] Local monarchists campaigned on his behalf. The vote to restore the monarchy was only about 31% with most of the support coming from the Peloponnese region. Almost 69% of the electorate voted against the restoration of the monarchy and for the establishment of a republic.[6][68][63]
Life in exile after 1974
[edit]
Constantine remained in exile for 40 years after the vote in favour of the republic, living in Italy and the United Kingdom.[85][63] He returned briefly for the first time in February 1981, which was to attend the funeral of his mother in the family cemetery of the former Royal Palace at Tatoi. The funeral was generally controversial, due to the little empathy generated by Queen Frederica and the royal family, which is why the government authorized him to stay only for six hours in the country.[86] His gesture of kissing the ground upon arrival in Greece was also polemic as it was considered an act of provocation for the antiroyalists.[68][87]
Abortive conspiracies
[edit]
The posthumously published archives of Konstantinos Karamanlis, as well as the memoirs of Constantine's former marshal of the court, Leonidas Papagos [el], revealed that from 1975 to 1978, Constantine was involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the democratic government, including the assassination of Karamanlis and a followed referendum on the monarchy.[88] Constantine's close confidant, Michail Arnaoutis, approached high-ranking officers to try to gain their support. After some naval officers approached expressed doubts that Arnaoutis spoke for the former king, the chief engineer of the fleet was invited to London, where Constantine confirmed the basic outline of the plot as relayed by Arnaoutis.[88] The naval officers approached informed Karamanlis, who sent Papagos to warn Constantine to "stop conspiring" and the former monarch denied knowledge of the conspiracy, but when called upon, Arnaoutis confirmed his contacts with officers in Greece in the presence of both Constantine and Papagos.[88] The events were confirmed in 1999 by one of the officers whom Arnaoutis had approached, Vice Admiral Ioannis Vasileiadis, after the publication of Papagos' memoirs. According to Vasileiadis, Arnaoutis said that Constantine had contacted the Shah of Iran in order to prevent possible Turkish military action during the coup.[88][79]
Karamanlis was also alerted to Constantine's suspicious activities by the British secret services, who had apparently taped his conversations with Greek visitors. In October 1976, the Greek prime minister was informed by the British ambassador that Constantine, while not the driving force behind the conspiracy, was very much aware of it and did nothing to discourage it.[88] The British also provided warnings that sympathizers had informed Constantine that a coup would take place in November 1976, led by low-ranking army officers loyal to former dictator Dimitrios Ioannidis. Karamanlis and his chief diplomatic adviser, Petros Molyviatis, applied pressure on both the British and US governments, which led to a personal intervention by British prime minister James Callaghan, who warned Constantine off. The Greek government repeatedly sent envoys to the former king for the same purpose, but he denied any knowledge of the affair.[88] Karamanlis chose not to publicise it in order to not destabilise the fragile democratic system in Greece.[88] Nevertheless, in October 1978, Constantine and Arnaoutis were recorded by Greek agents to have sought contact with military and political leaders, trying to win them over to the cause of a royal restoration.[88]
1993 visit to Greece
[edit]
At the funeral of King Baudouin of Belgium, a private agreement was made between Constantine and the new conservative Greek prime minister, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, that allowed Constantine and his family to temporarily return to Greece on a holiday.[89] Constantine was accompanied by his wife Anne-Marie, their five children, and his sister Irene. The family had decided that yachting around Greece would be the best way to showcase the country to their children, who were unable to grow up within Greece.[89] The opposition claimed that the government was attempting to reinstate the monarchy.[89] On 9 August 1993, the family departed from the UK on two planes, including a jet donated to Constantine by King Hussein of Jordan. The Greek government was unaware of Constantine and his family's holiday, which had been planned and charted by Princess Alexia. Constantine, and then his family a few hours later, landed in Thessaloniki, before boarding a yacht.[89]
The family's yacht then travelled 300 metres off the shore of Mount Athos. Constantine and his two eldest sons, Crown Prince Pavlos and Prince Nikolaos, travelled upon a dingy to get to the mainland, where women were unallowed to visit.[89] Upon arriving, Constantine noticed his portrait in every monastery and learnt that the monks there had been praying for him every day since his exile. Nine monks followed Constantine back to their yacht to bless the rest of his family, display holy relics and present gifts.[89] Constantine then took a helicopter and landed on a soccer pitch in Florina, where "hundreds" of people greeted him with handshakes and flowers. Constantine's decision to land in Florina was named a "politically sensitive spot to appear in" in view of the region's greater support for the monarchy over other regions and due to the Macedonia naming dispute. Constantine and his family took a van north in order see the northernmost part of Greece, and were reportedly followed by between 50 and 100 cars. However, the Greek government had organised for the police to block the road, claiming that Constantine's journey was "a political step", rather than touristic.[89] Protestors attempted to open up the road, but failed. In the next village the family stopped at, a local government official told Constantine that he would kicked out of Greece if he did not act like a tourist.[89]
Following this clash between police and protestors in support of Constantine, Mitsotakis made a public statement explaining that the government "had no prior knowledge of the visit and had never agreed to it. Strong action will be taken if the ex-king violates our conditions."[89] Afterwards, Constantine and his family returned to Athens to visit Tatoi Palace and his parents' graves, where a short memorial service was held. During this trip, Constantine chose where his future tomb would be. Telling Sky UK presenter Selina Scott, Constantine said that having to leave his belongings when going into exile taught him that "material things are not that important".[89] He also expressed his wishes to move back into the property and clean up the land surrounding it. Constantine was then warned by the government to move on from Tatoi and alerted them of protestors who were threatening to burn Tatoi's forestry down.[89]
Whilst travelling to Spetses, the government ordered that Constantine should not travel to heavily populated areas, to which Constantine said, "It's a free country".[89] When he arrived at a port in Spetses, a harbour policeman jumped onto their boat, but Constantine pushed him to the side and set foot on the mainland. A crowd greeted Constantine and his family, but at night and during the following day, their yacht was surrounded by government ships and flown over by military planes. Constantine then contacted Sky News UK and was interviewed by presenter David Blaine, to whom Constantine told on live air that he was being harassed by the government, who had "frightened the daylights" out of his children.[89] Constantine's yacht was on course to stop at Gytheio, where a reported 5,000 to 10,000 people were waiting for him. Military warships were denying the yacht's progress towards the town, so Constantine stopped in Neapoli Voion, where there was a crowd of a few hundred people, but also many anti-monarchists. Following this stop, Constantine and his family returned to the UK.[89]
Legal quarrels over the royal properties
[edit]
In 1992, Constantine reclaimed all the movable property from the palace of Tatoi, which was transported in containers to the residence of the royal couple in exile amid shouts of citizens.[68][82] That same year, he signed an agreement with the Mitsotakis government to cede most of his movable property in Greece to a non-profit foundation in the country, in exchange for recovering Tatoi.[82] Two years later, as stated in a bill legislated in 1994, Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou abrogated that agreement and refused to return the properties seized from Constantine. The law also stripped Greek citizenships from Constantine and all members of the royal family. The only way they could regain their citizenship and passports would be if Constantine swore allegiance to the new republican constitution and renounced his and his descendants' rights as heirs of the former Greek throne. Constantine refused to do so.[90] That same year, Constantine requested the return of the palace of Tatoi to his ownership, arguing that it is rightfully his as his ancestors had personally purchased the building and the surrounding land, however the Papandreou government refused.[68][82]
Constantine, Anne-Marie, Irene and Princess Katherine, Constantine's aunt, took the Greek government to court in April 1996 over the confiscation of their citizenships and properties.[91][68][82] The Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece agreed with their discrimination claim, however the Council of State overrode their decision and stated that the removal of their passports was a measure taken that conforms with the constitution of the Third Republic. As a result, Constantine took Greece to court in the European Court of Human Rights and sued them for €200 million.[92][93]
I feel the Greek government have acted unjustly and vindictively. They treat me sometimes as if I am their enemy – I am not the enemy. I consider it the greatest insult in this world for a Greek to be told he is not a Greek or for a Greek to be told that he has to apply for his nationality. I was born Greek, I am Greek and I will die Greek, and there are certain things that every human being will not go further with. You cannot push an individual further and this is my limit.
— Constantine II upon his decision to take the Greek government to court.[94][93]
Months after the initiation of the claim, the court ruled in the royal family's favour in November 2000. The ruling, however, did not require the government to return the family's properties and instead allowed them to be compensated through money. Of the €200 million claim, Constantine won €12 million, Irene won €900,000 and Katherine €300,000.[93] The court encouraged six months of meetings between Constantine and the Greek government to coordinate a settlement, however the Greek government refused.[90] Constantine and his family did not receive their citizenship back. Although originally requesting Spanish citizenships, Anne-Marie eventually requested her sister, Margrethe II, to have Danish diplomatic passports established in the names of the members of the Greek royal family. She agreed and in their Danish passports, Constantine and Anne-Marie's names were established as "HM King Constantine II" and "HM Queen Anne-Marie".[95][96]
Constantine, in turn, created the Anna-Maria Foundation to allocate the funds in question back to the Greek people for use in "extraordinary natural disasters" and charitable causes. The court decision also ruled that Constantine's human rights were not violated by the Greek state's decision not to grant him Greek citizenship and passport unless he adopts a surname. Constantine said of this "the law basically said that I had to go out and acquire a name. The problem is that my family originates from Denmark and the Danish royal family haven't got a surname."[94]
Later life
[edit]
Following the abolition of the monarchy, Constantine repeatedly stated that he recognised the republic, the laws and the constitution of Greece. He told Time, "If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it."[97] Constantine and Anne-Marie for many years lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London. Constantine was a close friend of his second cousin Charles III, then Prince of Wales, and a godfather to Charles's son Prince William. Constantine's 60th birthday lunch marked the first time that Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were seen in public together in a relationship.[80] In 2004, Constantine returned to Greece temporarily during the Athens Olympic Games as a member of the International Olympic Committee.[98] Later that year, when asked whether he thought he would be the last monarch of Greece, Constantine said that it is "very hard" to determine the future.[80] Constantine served as patron of Box Hill School, a private school in Mickleham, in the south of England until his death.
According to a nationwide 2007 survey of 2,040 households in Greece conducted on behalf of the newspaper To Vima, only 11.6% supported a constitutional monarchy. More than half of the respondents, 50.9%, considered that the dictatorship of the junta had brought benefits to Greece.[99] During the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics, Constantine, in his role as honorary member of the International Olympic Committee, was the official presenter at the sailing medal ceremonies. He was Co-President of Honour of the International Sailing Federation, along with Harald V of Norway, from 1994 on.[100]
In 2013, Constantine pledged in an interview with CNN that he would never become involved in restoring the monarchy. When asked by reporter Richard Quest whether he was content with never becoming the monarch again, Constantine said, "If the Greek people are happy with the system they have today, why should I be the one to change it? Just because I would like to be a king again? That would be crazy."[101] Later that same year, Constantine returned to reside in Greece after selling his Hampstead house.[102] From 2015 they lived in a villa in the coastal resort town of Porto Cheli in Argolis in the Peloponnese peninsula.[103] In November 2015, his autobiography was published in three volumes by the national newspaper, To Vima.[104] On 10 January 2022, he was admitted to the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19, which he had been fully vaccinated against.[105]
Death
[edit]
Constantine suffered multiple health problems in his final years, including heart conditions and decreased mobility.[106] On 6 January 2023, he was admitted to the intensive care unit of the private Hygiea hospital in Athens in critical condition after suffering a stroke.[107] He died 4 days later, on 10 January 2023, at the age of 82.[108][109] His death was leaked by Associated Press,[110] but was then announced by his private office.[111] Constantine never formally renounced his title as King of the Hellenes due to Greek Orthodox anointment tradition, which states that a monarch will never lose their status until their death.[80]
By the decision of the Greek government, Constantine was not given a state funeral. The funeral took place on 16 January in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens in the presence of Archbishop Ieronymos II and 200 attendees, including ten current and former European monarchs – Philippe of Belgium, Simeon II of Bulgaria, Margrethe II of Denmark, Henri of Luxembourg, Albert II of Monaco, Beatrix and Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, Juan Carlos I and Felipe VI of Spain, and Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden – and members of the royal houses of Baden, Hanover, Iran, Jordan, Liechtenstein, Norway, Romania, Russia, Schleswig-Holstein, Serbia and the United Kingdom. The Greek government was represented by Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni and Deputy Prime Minister Panagiotis Pikrammenos. Constantine was buried in Tatoi next to his parents that same day.[112][113]
Marriage and issue

On 18 September 1964, in a Greek Orthodox ceremony in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, Constantine married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, his third cousin.[52]

Titles and styles
[edit]
Until 1994, Constantine's official Greek passport identified him as "Constantine, Former King of the Hellenes". A law passed in 1994 stripped him of his Greek citizenship, passport and property. The law stated that Constantine could not be granted a Greek passport unless he adopted a surname. Constantine stated, "I don't have a surname — my family doesn't have a surname. The law that Mr Papandreou passed basically says that he considers that I am not Greek and that my family was Greek only so long as we were exercising the responsibilities of sovereign, and I had to go out and acquire a surname. The problem is that my family originates from Denmark, and the Danish royal family haven't got a surname." Glücksburg, he said, was not a family surname but the name of a town. He said, "I might as well call myself Mr. Kensington."[114]
Constantine freely travelled in and out of Greece on a Danish passport, as Constantino de Grecia (Spanish for 'Constantine of Greece'),[115] because Denmark (upon request) issues diplomatic passports to any descendants of King Christian IX and Queen Louise, and Constantine was a Prince of Denmark in his own right.[116] During his first visit to Greece using this passport, Constantine was mocked by some of the Greek media, which hellenised the "de Grecia" designation and used it as a surname, thus naming him Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Ντεγκρέτσιας, romanized: Konstantínos Degrétsias.[115]
The International Olympic Committee continued to refer to Constantine as His Majesty King Constantine.[117] In Greece, he was referred to as ο τέως βασιλιάς or ο πρώην βασιλιάς ('the former king'). His official website lists his "correct form of address" as King Constantine, former King of the Hellenes.[118]

Greece’s former King Constantine II, whose nine-year reign coincided with one of the most turbulent periods in the country’s political history, has died at a private hospital in Athens, his doctors announced late on Tuesday. He was 82.
Constantine, a cousin of British monarch King Charles III, died “of a stroke”. He was admitted to an Athens hospital last week with breathing problems, Greek media reported.
When he acceded to the throne as Constantine II at the age of 23 in 1964, the youthful monarch, who had already achieved glory as an Olympic gold medallist in sailing, was hugely popular.
By the following year he had squandered much of that support with his active involvement in the machinations that brought down the popularly elected Center Union government of prime minister George Papandreou.
The episode, still widely known in Greece as the “apostasy”, or defection from the ruling party of several lawmakers, destabilised the constitutional order and led in 1967 to a military coup. Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile.
The dictatorship abolished the monarchy in 1973 and when democracy was restored the year after, nearly 70% of Greeks voted for the abolition of the monarchy in a referendum, ending a dynasty begun by Constantine’s Danish-born great-grandfather George I in 1863.
In 2008, an opinion poll found fewer than 12% of Greeks favoured a return to a constitutional monarchy. More than 43% blamed Constantine for the coming of the junta.
Constantine was born on 2 June 1940 in Athens to Princess Frederica of Hanover and Prince Paul, younger brother of King George II and heir presumptive to the throne.
His older sister, Sophia, is the wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain. He was also the nephew of Greek-born Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh and husband of the UK’s late Queen Elizabeth II.
The family, which had ruled in Greece from 1863 – apart from a 12-year republican interlude between 1922 and 1935 – was descended from Prince Christian, later Christian IX of Denmark, of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg branch of the Danish ruling family.
When the dictatorship collapsed in July 1974, Constantine was eager to return to Greece but was advised against it by veteran politician Constantine Karamanlis, who returned from exile to head a civilian government.
To his final days, Constantine, while accepting that Greece was now a republic, continued to style himself King of Greece and his children as princes and princesses even though Greece no longer recognised titles of nobility.
For most of his years in exile, he lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb in north London, and was said to be especially close to his second cousin Charles, now King Charles III.
It took Constantine 14 years to return to his country, briefly, to bury his mother, Queen Frederica in 1981, but he eventually moved back permanently.
There were continued disputes: in 1994, the then socialist government stripped him of his nationality and expropriated what remained of the royal family’s property. Constantine sued at the European court of human rights and was awarded €12m (£11m) in 2002, a fraction of the €500m he had sought.
Constantine travelled with a Danish passport, as a Danish prince.
He is survived by his wife, the former Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II; five children, Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos; and nine grandchildren.

On September 18, 1964, Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark married King Constantine of Greece in Athens. "I was the first king ever to marry in Greece," the king recalled to Town & Country in 2015.
For the day, she wore a dress designed by Danish fashion designer Jorgen Bender. Three years after their wedding, the Greek royal family was forced into exile by a military coup. Queen Anne-Marie's wedding tiara and tiara were passed down, but her dress was lost in the archives of Tatoi Palace.
Constatntine and Anne-Marie on their wedding day.
The royal couple relocated back to Greece in 2013. "Look at ancient Greek history," Constantine told T&C. "All Greeks who live in exile, they want to go back. It's in the blood. Funnily enough, the one pushing hardest was my wife. I think she realized I would be happy only when I came back home." He passed away in Athens earlier this year.
The discovery of the dress was reported by Greek journalist, Andreas Magos, who shared snaps of the box that the gown was kept in:
The caption (translated from Greek) reads, "Here is the wedding dress of Queen Anne-Marie located in Tatoi, where a few days ago it was revealed among the personal belongings of the royal family preserved and kept there. Perhaps this will also be exhibited in the Museum, Palace of Tatoi."
Tatoi is currently undergoing a $14.97 million renovation, and will be turned into a museum. Throughout the restoration process, numerous royal heirlooms have been discovered.
"Among the recent discoveries, the renovation workers found a total of seventy suitcases and trunks, all believed to belong to Frederica, the Queen Consort of Greece, from 1947 to 1964, and Queen mother thereafter," the Greek Reporter reported in 2020."Work on uncovering these treasures in the Tatoi is being supervised by archaeologists, who are tasked with making sure that these precious artifacts of Greece’s modern history will not be damaged."
It's unclear the future of Queen Anne-Marie's royal wedding dress.

quote Are any of Queen Anne Marie's children also residing in Greece? My thought process was that the Queen and the late King were the onnly members of the royal family that had taken residence in Greece. Therefore one would think the Queen would move to Denmark to be closer to her Danish family perhaps i.e. for support after this large loss in her life now. Even though Queen Anne-Marie only spent the first 3 years of her marriage and the last 10 years in Greece almost her entire life has been spent somehow connected to Greek interests. She and King Constantine founded the bilingual Hellenic College of London and that is where their children attended school. Her second son Nikolaos and his wife Tatiana live in Athens. Her elder daughter Princess Alexia lives on Lanzorote in the Canary Islands Crown Prince Pavlos lives in New York City as does her youngest son Prince Phillipos. Her younger daughter lives in Los Angeles. quote Since my last post the spokesperson for the Greek Royal Family Ivi Macris has issued a statement saying that Queen Anne Marie will remain domicile in Athens. At the same time a statement was made regarding Crown Prince Pavlos stating that he has no intention of relocating from New York to Greece. There were rumours floating around that he was going to move to Greece. quote Thank you Kirsten Tak . Yes I wasn't sure if the children of the senior Greek royal family Constantine Anne-Marie had settled in Greece. Therefore I surmised she may move back to Denmark to be closer to her sister Queen Margrethe. Anyhow may HM King Constantine rest in peace. quote Sorry Jason I don't know the answer to your question about smoking. I do know that Princess Benedikte smoked before her marriage but quit before she had children so she quit a long time ago. As to whether Queen Anne-Marie will move to Denmark of course I don't know but I rather doubt it as she has family in Greece and Spain. Her visits to Denmark may be longer in duration though as she and her sisters enjoy time spent together. quote In the photo King Constantine is enjoying a smoke whilst holding a cup of hot beverage. However did or does Queen Anne-Marie smoke as well? I know that her parents King Frederik and Queen Ingrid both smoked as well as Queen Margrethe.

The royal Greek Familiy
Johann The Younger #3579
Wikipedia: English
King of the Hellenes Reign 6 March 1964 – 1 June 1973 (9 years, 87 days) Predecessor: Paul I Successor: Monarchy abolished
Seine Schwester Sophia war die frühere Königin von Spanien, seine Schwägerin Margrethe II. die jetzige Königin von Dänemark. Konstantin II. entstammt dem Haus Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
Er folgte seinem Vater König Paul I. nach dessen frühem Tod auf den Thron. Der Mangel an Erfahrung des jungen Königs sollte sich bald als fatal herausstellen. Dies umso mehr, als die griechische Monarchie seit jeher höchst instabil war und schon mehrere Könige hatten abdanken müssen.
Schon bald geriet König Konstantin in einen ernsten Konflikt mit Ministerpräsident Georgios Papandreou. Dieser nahm mit der Entlassung Papandreous am 15. Juli 1965 an Schärfe noch zu und mündete in eine Verfassungskrise. Es kam zu häufigen Regierungswechseln und andauernden Unruhen. Dabei verfestigte sich in vielen Anhängern Papandreous die Ansicht, der König handle nicht verfassungsgemäß: Dieser weigerte sich lange, das Parlament vorzeitig aufzulösen, da er einen Wahlsieg von Papandreous Partei befürchten musste.
Kurz vor den doch noch angesetzten Wahlen putschte das Militär am 21. April 1967. Die Errichtung der Diktatur nahm Konstantin II. zunächst ohne Protest hin. Im Laufe des Jahres ließ er jedoch erkennen, dass er die Obristen nicht als seine Regierung betrachtete. Am 13. Dezember 1967 versuchte er mit einem dilettantisch geplanten Gegenputsch wieder an die Macht zu kommen. Nach dessen Misslingen ging er, ohne abzudanken, ins Exil, bis 1973 nach Rom, dann nach London.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_II._%28Griechenland%29
Constantine II reigned as the last King of Greece, from 1964 until the abolition of the monarchy of Greece in 1973.
He acceded as king following the death of his father King Paul in March 1964. Later that year he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark with whom he eventually had five children. Although the accession of the young monarch was initially regarded auspiciously, his reign soon became controversial: Constantine's involvement in the Apostasia of July 1965 created unrest among sections of the population and aggravated the ongoing political instability that culminated in the Colonels' Coup of 21 April 1967.
The coup was successful, leaving Constantine, as the head of state, little room to maneuver since he had no loyal military forces on which to rely. As a result, he reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the Greek military junta of 1967–1974 (the "putschist government") on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers. On 13 December 1967, Constantine was forced to flee the country, following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta. He remained (formally) the head of state in exile until 1 June 1973, when the junta abolished the monarchy, permanently.
This abolition was confirmed after the fall of the junta by the Greek republic referendum, 1974 on 8 December 1974, which established the Third Hellenic Republic. Constantine, who was not allowed to return to Greece to campaign, accepted the results of the plebiscite.
Constantine was born at the Psychiko Palace in Psychiko, a suburb of Athens. He was the nephew of King George II, and also the second child and only son of the king's brother and heir presumptive, Prince Paul. His mother was Princess Frederica of Hanover. Constantine's older sister Queen Sofía of Spain is the wife of the retired King Juan Carlos of Spain, while his younger sister, Princess Irene, has never been married.
Constantine was just one year old when Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany invaded Greece, and he spent the next four years in exile in Egypt and Cape Town, South Africa (where his sister Irene was born) with his family. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946. King George died in 1947, and Constantine's father became the new king, making Constantine the crown prince. He was educated at a preparatory school and later a boarding school where he was an above-average student academically. A fellow student recalled him as "a good chap, a young man with all the right instincts. He was at his best on the playing fields."
Constantine served in all three armed services, attending the requisite military academies. He also attended the NATO Air Force Special Weapons School in Germany, as well as the University of Athens, where he took courses in the school of law.
Constantine was an able sportsman. In 1960, aged 20, he won an Olympic gold medal in sailing (dragon class), which was the first Greek gold medal in sailing since the Stockholm 1912 Summer Olympics. He was also a strong swimmer and had a black belt in karate, with interests in squash, track events and riding. In 1963 Constantine became a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He resigned in 1974 because he was no longer a Greek resident, and was made an Honorary IOC Member.
Find sources: "Constantine II of Greece" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR (March 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) In March 1964, King Paul died of cancer, and the 23-year-old Constantine succeeded him as king. Prior to this, Constantine had already been appointed as regent for his ailing father.
King Paul's long-time prime minister Konstantinos Karamanlis regarded him partly responsible for his fall from leadership in 1963.
However, due to his youth, he was also perceived as a promise of change. The accession of Constantine coincided with the recent election of Centrist George Papandreou as prime minister in February 1964, which ended 11 years of right-wing rule by the National Radical Union (ERE).
Greece was still feeling the effects of the Civil War of 1944–49 between communists and monarchists, and society was strongly polarised between the royalist/conservative right and the liberal/socialist center-left. It was hoped that the new young king and the new prime minister would be able to overcome past dissensions.
Initially, relations between the king and Papandreou seemed good, but by 1965, they had deteriorated. The conservative establishment feared the rising influence of Papandreou's left-leaning son Andreas, and the outbreak of the purported ASPIDA scandal seemed to confirm their suspicions.
The name of Andreas Papandreou was implicated in the case, and when the defence minister, Petros Garoufalias tried to form a committee of inquiry into the alleged scandal, the prime minister forced his resignation. Immediately, George Papandreou assigned the defence portfolio to himself, which caused alarm in the palace and the conservative security circles, which interpreted this move as an attempt by Papandreou to control the army. Constantine refused to accept the self-appointment, and a new political issue resulted.
Constantine proposed the appointment of any other person of the prime minister's choosing as defence minister because, as the king argued, there was a conflict of interest: the prime minister's son was allegedly involved in the scandal.
Papandreou rejected the king's proposition, although he had initially shown some willingness to accept it, and submitted his own resignation, stating that it was well within his constitutional powers as the elected prime minister commanding a Parliamentary majority to appoint his ministers at his pleasure, and it was beyond the constitutional powers of the king to refuse him this right.
A short time after his resignation, Constantine appointed a new government led by Georgios Athanasiadis-Novas, who failed to ensure the Parliament's confidence. This appointment, which became known as the "Royal Coup", evoked much criticism as being unconstitutional.[citation needed]
According to the critics, the appointment of this and successive governments consisting of aisle-crossers instead of the proclamation of new elections, caused a constitutional crisis and political instability that lasted for more than two years and led to the Greek military junta of 1967-1974.
After his failure, Novas was succeeded by Ilias Tsirimokos, who also failed to form a stable government and was dismissed. Constantine next appointed some of Papandreou's dissidents, known as the July Apostates and led by Stefanos Stefanopoulos, to form a government of "king's men", which lasted until December 1966, amidst mounting strikes and protests, supported by the right-wing ERE.
When Stefanopoulos resigned in frustration, Constantine appointed a caretaker government under Ioannis Paraskevopoulos, which called elections for May 1967. This government did not even last until the scheduled elections. It was replaced on 3 April 1967 by another caretaker government under the leader of the ERE, Panagiotis Kanellopoulos.

(April 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Elections were scheduled for 28 May 1967, with expectations of a wide Centrist victory. According to United States diplomat John Day, the Americans worried that, due to the old age of George Papandreou, Andreas Papandreou would have a very powerful role in the next government.
According to the United States diplomats Robert Keely and John Owens, who were attached to the United States embassy in Greece at the time, Constantine asked United States Ambassador Phillips Talbot what the attitude of the United States government would be to an extra-parliamentary solution to this problem. The embassy responded negatively in principle, adding that "US reaction to such a move cannot be determined in advance but would depend on circumstances at time". To this day, Constantine denies all this.
According to then-Ambassador from the United States Phillips Talbot, after this communication, Constantine met with the generals of the army, who promised the king that they would not take any action before the coming elections. However, they were nervous by the proclamations of Andreas Papandreou and reserved to themselves the right to reconsider possible courses of action according to the results of the election.
However, a traditionalist, right-wing nationalist group of middle-ranking army officers led by Colonel George Papadopoulos took action first and staged a coup d'état on 21 April. The coup leaders met Constantine at his residence in Tatoi, which was surrounded by tanks to prevent resistance.
Constantine later recounted that the officers of the tank platoons believed they were carrying out the coup under his orders. The king argued with the colonels and initially dismissed them. Later in the day, he went to the Ministry of National Defence, where all coup leaders were gathered, and had a discussion with Kanellopoulos and with leading generals. He agreed to concede to the military demands and swear the new regime in only when the junta agreed to include a number of civilian politicians, with a royalist nominee, Konstantinos Kollias, as prime minister.
However Panayotis Kanellopoulos, the last legitimate prime minister of Greece prior to the coup, acting as witness for the prosecution, at the junta trials in 1975 during metapolitefsi, testified how he was arrested by machine-gun toting soldiers and transported to the palace to meet King Constantine.[citation needed] He added that during the meeting he urged the king to use his status as commander-in-chief of the Greek military to order loyal officers to crush the coup. Constantine apparently refused to do so because he feared bloodshed.
From the outset, the relationship between Constantine and the regime of the colonels was an uneasy one. Constantine organised a counter-coup and it was probably meant as one, although no help or involvement of the United States was forthcoming.
The king finally decided to launch his counter-coup on 13 December 1967. Since Athens was effectively in the hands of the junta militarily, Constantine decided to fly to the small northern city of Kavala, east of Thessaloniki. There he hoped to be among troops loyal only to him.
The vague plan he and his advisors had conceived was to form a unit that would advance to Thessaloniki (Greece's second biggest city and unofficial capital of northern Greece) and take it. Constantine planned to install an alternative administration there. International recognition, which he believed to be forthcoming, as well as internal pressure from the fact that Greece would have been split in two governments would, the king hoped, force the junta to resign, leaving the field clear for him to return triumphant to Athens.
In the early morning hours of 13 December, the king boarded the royal plane together with Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, their two young children, Princess Alexia and Prince Pavlos, his mother, Queen Frederica, and his sister, Princess Irene. Constantine also took with him Premier Kollias.
At first things seemed to be going according to plan. Constantine was well received in Kavala which, militarily, was under the command of a general loyal to him. The air force and navy, both strongly royalist and not involved in the 1967 coup, immediately declared for him and mobilised. Another of Constantine's generals effectively cut all communication between Athens and the north.
However, the king's plans were overly bureaucratic, naïvely supposing that orders from a commanding general would automatically be followed. Further, the king was obsessive about avoiding "bloodshed" even where the junta would be the attacker.
Under these circumstances, rather than managing to put together a force and advancing on Thessaloniki, middle-ranking pro-junta officers neutralised and arrested his royalist generals and took command of their units, which subsequently put together a force advancing on Kavala to arrest the king.
Realising that the countercoup had failed, Constantine fled Greece on board the royal plane, taking his family and hapless premier with him.
They landed in Rome early in the morning of 14 December, where they remained in exile all through the rest of military rule (although he continued as king until 1 June 1973.) He was never to return to Greece as a reigning king.
Constantine stated, "I am sure I shall go back the way my ancestors did." The world had changed significantly though since the monarchy had made its last comeback. Constantine continued to watch events from abroad. He said to the Toronto Star:
I consider myself King of the Hellenes and sole expression of legality in my country until the Greek people freely decide otherwise. I fully expected that the (military) regime would depose me eventually. They are frightened of the Crown because it is a unifying force among the people.
With Constantine abroad, Colonel George Papadopoulos illegally appointed himself prime-minister and General George Zoitakis as regent.
Over the next year the junta sent intermediaries to the king to negotiate the terms on which he might return to Greece. But Constantine insisted on the full restoration of democracy under the existing constitution as a precondition, and George Papadopoulos would not agree to this. Instead the regime illegally promulgated a new constitution in November 1968, which retained the monarchy, but stripped it of its powers, and provided for a permanent regency until the king chose to accept the new order. This standoff continued until 1972, when George Papadopoulos illegally dismissed George Zoitakis and appointed himself regent.
In June 1973, George Papadopoulos condemned Constantine as "a collaborator with foreign forces and with murderers" and accused him of "pursuing ambitions to become a political leader".[3] In May, officers of the largely royalist navy staged an abortive coup, although Constantine himself was not involved. George Papadopoulos retaliated by declaring Greece a republic (1 June), a decision which was confirmed by a plebiscite on 29 July. The vote was widely acknowledged to be rigged.[citation needed] Constantine refused to accept the outcome. George Papadopoulos then declared himself president, but in November there was a coup within the regime and he was replaced by General Phaidon Ghizikis, who was a front for the new military strongman, Dimitrios Ioannides.
In July 1974, the events in Cyprus led to the downfall of the military regime, and Karamanlis returned from exile to become prime minister. The 1973 republican constitution was regarded as illegitimate, and the new administration issued a constitutional decree restoring the 1952 constitution. Constantine confidently awaited an invitation to return. On 24 July he declared his "deep satisfaction with the initiative of the armed forces in overthrowing the dictatorial regime" and welcomed the advent of Karamanlis as prime minister.
The former king visited both Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street and openly declared his hope to be shortly returning to Greece. However, the 1952 constitution was not restored with the overthrow of the illegal junta. Following Karamanlis' resounding victory in the November 1974 parliamentary elections (his New Democracy party won 54.4% of the vote), he called a referendum (held on 8 December 1974) on whether Greece would restore the monarchy or remain a republic.
Although he had been the leader of the traditionally monarchist right, Karamanlis made no attempt to restore the democratic constitution of 1952. Instead he called on the Greek people to vote "according to their conscience".[citation needed] The former king was not allowed by the government to return to Greece to campaign on behalf of the benefits to Greece of the constitutional monarchy. He was only allowed to broadcast to the Greek people from London on television. Analysts claim this was a deliberate act by the government to undermine any chance to restore the monarchy.
The left voted overwhelmingly for the republic because the former king was perceived by them as having engaged in political interference far beyond the scope of the monarchical prerogative. They also objected to the perceived influence exercised by members of the royal family who had no constitutional role in the political life of the country; the former king's mother, Queen Frederica, being a case in point.
The republic received overwhelming support by the centrist voters who condemned Constantine for, among other things, swearing in the junta in 1967. They also blamed his reluctance to sever all ties with the junta once in exile, and the dismissal of the legitimately elected George Papandreou administration (Apostasia of 1965), the event which some believed led to the coup.
Constantine, speaking from London, freely admitted his past mistakes. He claimed to have sound democratic intentions in the future and promised that his mother would stay away from the country.[3] Local monarchists campaigned on his behalf. The vote to restore the monarchy was only about 31%, having most of his support from the Peloponnese region, with almost 69% of the electorate voting against the restoration of the monarchy and for the establishment of a republic. The result was met with celebrations in the streets of Athens and other major cities.
Constantine remained in exile for almost forty years after the vote in favour of the republic. He was strongly discouraged from returning to Greece, and he did not return until February 1981, when the government only allowed him to return for a few hours, to attend the funeral of his mother, Queen Frederica, in the family cemetery of the former Royal Palace at Tatoi.
There were also legal disputes with the Greek state. In 1992 he concluded an agreement with the conservative government of Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis, ceding most of his land in Greece to a non-profit foundation in exchange for the former palace of Tatoi, near Athens, and the right to export a number of movables from Greece. The latter reportedly included privately owned art treasures from the royal palaces. As such, no formal account of what was removed was ever given or needed to be given. In 1993, Constantine visited Greece, but faced with government insecurity, he was asked to leave. In 1994, the second government of Andreas Papandreou passed new legislation reversing the 1992 agreement and stripping Constantine of his property in Greece and his Greek citizenship.
Constantine sued Greece at the European Court of Human Rights for €500 million in compensation for the seized property. He won a much smaller amount, receiving a monetary compensation of €12 million for the lost property, with a far smaller sum awarded to his unmarried younger sister, Princess Irene, and his aunt Princess Katherine. The Greek government chose to pay out of the "extraordinary natural disasters" fund, but was not obliged by the court's decision to return any lands (the Court of Human Rights awards only monetary compensation).
Constantine, in turn, announced the creation of the Anna Maria Foundation, to allocate the funds in question back to the Greek people for use in "extraordinary natural disasters" and charitable causes. The court decision also ruled that Constantine's human rights were not violated by the Greek state's decision not to grant him Greek citizenship and passport unless he adopts a surname.
Constantine and his wife with their youngest children, Theodora and Philippos, by Allan Warren Following the abolition of the monarchy, Constantine has repeatedly stated that he recognizes the Republic, the laws and the constitution of Greece. He told Time, "If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it."
Until 1994, Constantine's official Greek passport identified him as "Constantine, former King of the Hellenes". A law passed in 1994 stripped him of his Greek citizenship, passport, and property. The law stated that Constantine could not be granted a Greek passport unless he adopted a surname. He continues to use the title "King Constantine", although he no longer uses "Constantine, King of the Hellenes".
Today, this appellation draws attention to the fact that Constantine and his family lacks a legal surname in Greece. Constantine has stated: "I don't have a name—my family doesn't have a name. The law that Mr. Papandreou passed basically says that he considers that I am not Greek and that my family was Greek only so long as we were exercising the responsibilities of sovereign, and I had to go out and acquire a name. The problem is that my family originates from Denmark, and the Danish royal family haven't got a surname." Glücksburg, he said, was not a family name but the name of a town. "I might as well call myself Mr. Kensington."
In 2004, Constantine was back in Greece temporarily during the Athens Olympic Games as a member of the International Olympic Committee. He freely travels in and out of Greece on a Danish diplomatic passport, as Constantino de Grecia (Spanish for "Constantine of Greece"), because Denmark (upon request) issues diplomatic passports to any descendants of King Christian IX and Queen Louise and Constantine is a Prince of Denmark in his own right.
During his first visit to Greece using this passport, Constantine was mocked by some of the Greek media, which hellenized the "de Grecia" designation and used it as a surname, thus naming him Κωνσταντίνος Ντεγκρέτσιας ("Constantine Degrecias").
Constantine and Anne-Marie for many years lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, Constantine being a close friend of his second cousin Charles, Prince of Wales and a godfather to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, his second cousin once removed. Since the wedding of his son, Nikolaos, Constantine and Anne-Marie moved back to Greece, currently residing in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese.
On 24 December 2004, Constantine and Anne-Marie and members of the former royal family visited the Presidential Mansion (the former Royal Palace) in Athens where Constantine met President Costis Stephanopoulos, who gave them a tour.
According to a nationwide 2007 survey of 2,040 households conducted on behalf of the newspaper To Vima, only 11.6% supported a constitutional monarchy. More than half of the respondents, 50.9%, considered the dictatorship of the junta had brought benefits to Greece.
In 2008 and 2012, during the Olympic Games in Beijing and London, Constantine II, in his role as honorary member of the International Olympic Committee, was the official presenter at the sailing medal ceremonies.
Constantine II is also Co-President of Honour of the International Sailing Federation with King Harald V of Norway, since 1994.
As of 2013, Constantine II has returned to reside in Greece.
In November 2015, the autobiography of Constantine was published in three volumes by the national newspaper, To Vima.[20] It has not yet been published in English.
Constantine serves as patron of Box Hill School, a public school in Dorking, in the south of England.
On 18 September 1964, in a Greek Orthodox ceremony in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark.
The children of Constantine and Anne-Marie are: Princess Alexia, born on 10 July 1965 at Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece. She was married on 9 July 1999 in London to Carlos Morales Quintana. Crown Prince Pavlos, born on 20 May 1967 at Tatoi Palace. He was married on 1 July 1995 in London to Marie-Chantal Miller. Prince Nikolaos, born on 1 October 1969 in Rome. He was married on 25 August 2010 in Spetses to Tatiana Elinka Blatnik. Princess Theodora, born on 9 June 1983 in St Mary's Hospital, London, who is pursuing an acting career. Prince Philippos, born on 26 April 1986 in St Mary's Hospital, London. He works as a hedge fund analyst in New York.

It was a marriage that sealed a famous love story and turned a princess into a queen. On September 18th 1964, royalty from across Europe gathered in Athens to see the continent’s newest monarch wed a bride who had just turned eighteen. Constantine II of Greece and Anne-Marie of Denmark’s romance has since weathered political crises and exile – here’s a look back at a very royal wedding indeed.
Their path to the altar had begun five years earlier when the then Crown Prince Constantine, only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece, had accompanied his parents on a State Visit to Denmark. There, they had been hosted by King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid and their three daughters, among them Anne-Marie. Two years later, Constantine and Anne-Marie met again in Denmark, and by the time she acted as bridesmaid to his sister, Sofía, in Athens in May 1962, the couple were smitten.

The Crown Prince of Greece proposed to his Danish princess that summer, but her father had other ideas about marriage. King Frederik insisted that his daughter, still just sixteen, had to complete her education before any wedding could take place while the couple also had to wait to make their engagement public.
The confirmation that the pair were to wed finally came on January 23rd 1963. Twenty-two-year-old Constantine travelled to Copenhagen for the announcement, appearing on the balcony of the Amalienborg Palace with his bride and her family. The wedding was due to take place two years later. However, the death of King Paul in March 1964 turned Constantine into a monarch. Suddenly, marriage plans were accelerated, and the ceremony was set for September that year.

The bride arrived in her new home country in the week before her wedding, having taken part in several days of celebrations back in Denmark. A gala dinner for the couple’s royal guests took place a few days before the marriage at the Royal Palace.
By the time Princess Anne-Marie walked into the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Annunciation in Athens on the arm of her father, she had already converted to the Greek Orthodox faith. The marriage ceremony took place in front of around 1,200 guests including the Prince of Wales. He stood alongside King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola of the Belgians, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, King Olav V of Norway and King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden and dozens of other royal guests for the ceremony which was followed by a reception at the Royal Palace.
The new Queen of Greece had chosen a Danish designer to make her wedding gown. Jorgen Bender’s creation featured a rounded neckline, three quarter length sleeves and an empire line waist which gave way to a full skirt with a train measuring around twenty feet. The bride’s bouquet was dominated by lily of the valley, the sweet-scented flower which denotes a return to happiness in the language of flowers.
All royal brides need a tiara, and Anne-Marie kept things in the family for this part of her bridal look, choosing an all diamond diadem which belonged to her mother. Queen Ingrid of Denmark had inherited the Khedive of Egypt tiara from her mother, Princess Margaret of Connaught, following her untimely death in 1920. Presented to Margaret by the Khedive of Egypt at the time of her marriage in 1905, it features swirling scrolls of diamonds and has been used by all of Ingrid’s female descendants on their wedding days.
Anne-Marie wore it with another family heirloom that provided a link with Margaret, the maternal grandmother she never knew. The tiara anchored in place the Irish lace veil which Margaret had worn at her own wedding and which her only daughter, Ingrid, also chose to use as part of her wedding outfit.
Constantine and Anne-Marie had enjoyed a very romantic royal love story, and the fairytale air continued as they departed for a honeymoon in Corfu. Reality would kick in very soon after their return as political unrest in Greece led to a tumultuous and bumpy reign for Constantine which ultimately led to exile. But their royal wedding remains a glittering moment in a story that continues to fascinate.

ATHENS — Greece’s last king before the monarchy was abolished, Constantine II, died on Tuesday in Athens, aged 82.
“It is with deep sadness that the royal family announces that HM King Constantine, beloved husband, father, and brother, passed away yesterday,” his private office said in a statement on Wednesday.
Constantine had been taken to a private hospital in the Greek capital last week after experiencing breathing problems and had been treated in an intensive care unit.
A descendant of Denmark’s royal Glücksburg family, Constantine was a second cousin of Britain’s King Charles III and a godfather to William, prince of Wales.
He acceded the throne at the age of 23 in 1964, just after winning an Olympic gold medal in sailing. But he soon became unpopular, as he clashed with the elected government of George Papandreou. The government fell in 1965 during a political crisis known as Apostasia or the “royal coup,” and Constantine then appointed successive governments with little popular support. This period of political instability ultimately led to the establishment of a military junta in 1967.
Constantine swore in the colonels of the junta and took a photo with them. But later on, he supported the overthrow of the junta, which failed, prompting him to leave Greece.
For many years, he and his wife Anne-Marie lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London.
His title as king was officially abolished in a 1974 referendum after the fall of the junta, when Greek voters confirmed the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Third Hellenic Republic.
Constantine traveled with a Danish passport as a Danish prince. He lost his Greek nationality in 1994 after refusing to accept a passport with the last name of Glücksburg, arguing his name was “Constantine of Greece.”
Until his dying moments, Constantine continued to call himself the “king of Greece” and his children “princes” and “princesses,” despite the fact Greece doesn’t recognize titles of nobility.
“The eventful journey of the former King Constantine marked and was marked by turbulent moments in Greece’s modern history,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a written statement. “History now has the say. It will judge Constantine of public life fairly and severely.”
The Greek government announced that he will be buried privately at a former royal estate north of Athens and the service will take place at a church designated by the family and the Greek government. The date of the funeral has not yet been announced.

Flohr completed the look with the antique corsage tiara that belongs to Queen Anne-Marie, the blog post added.
The tiara has a fascinating history. Queen Ingrid of Denmark had the tiara made from a set of brooches that she inherited from her grandmother, Queen Victoria of Sweden, according to the royal fashion blog Tiara Mania.
It was given to the then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on her 18th birthday in 1964, the blog post added.
Anne-Marie, who became Queen of Greece upon her marriage to King Constantine II later that year, has allowed royal brides to borrow it over the years. It was most recently worn by Crown Princess Marie-Chantal at her royal wedding to Crown Prince Pavlos in 1995, and Princess Tatiana at her wedding to Prince Nikolaos in 2010, according to Tiara Mania.
The Greek royal family were in attendance at Nina and Philippos' wedding on Saturday.

On this day in 1964, King Constantine II married 18-year-old Princess of Denmark Anne-Marie in what continues to be remembered as one of the most extravagant royal weddings in Greece.
The couple tied the knot at the Metropolitan Cathedral in the center of Athens with scores of official guests, royal family members and crowds of onlookers applauding.
Constantine and Anne-Marie’s wedding remains the only one to be held in Greece while including a sitting Greek monarch. The 24-year-old groom had recently taken the thrown after his father King Paul I died on March 6, 1964.
Born in Athens, the newly acceded king was the only son of King Paul and Princess Friederike of Hanover. His wife was the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden.
Constantine’s accession had been viewed favorably but was cut short by the coup of April 21, 1967 in which the Greek military junta took power.
The coup left Constantine with few options since he did not have military forces at his disposal; therefore, he reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the junta on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers.
But on December 13 1967, Constantine was forced to flee Greece after an unsuccessful countercoup attempt. He remained the formal head of state in exile until the junta abolished the monarchy on June 1, 1973.

The former queen, 76, who was married to Constantine from 1964 until his death last Tuesday, was supported by her five children and their partners, grandchildren and extended family, including her older sister Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, as she bid a final farewell to the former Greek monarch at the city’s Metropolitan Cathedral.
The queen, the eldest child of King Paul of Greece and Frederica of Hanover, left a touching note to Constantine, writing: ‘Your beloved Ana Maria’. She also nodded to one of the most important days of their lives, their romantic and extravagant wedding, in two key ways, according to Vanity Fair Spain.

Elegant Euro royals reportedly have their eyes on a home in the city
Firstly, Anne-Marie wore the same Crucifix pendant she donned as a bride to exchange vows with Constantine on 18 September 1964, just two weeks after her 18th birthday. The ceremony came two years after the groom’s sister, the then Princess Sofia, wed Juan Carlos, the then Crown Prince of Spain. The couple, who attended the funeral, ruled over Spain until Juan Carlos' abdication in 2014.
On her wedding day, Anne-Marie wore the Crucifix on a delicate chain, which fell elegantly over her simple wedding gown featuring a nipped in waistband, three-quarter length sleeves and modest boat neckline. On Monday, she wore the Crucifix on a chunkier pearl chain that clung to her neck. Anne-Marie also laid a wreath made up of white lilies of the valley, the same flower that she chose for her bridal bouquet.

Revealed: the intriguing family ties between the late King Constantine II of Greece and Europe’s monarchies
The last King of Greece had family ties to Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Norway and Britain
As well as mourning a fellow ruler, many of the royals were also paying tribute to a late family member, thanks to the sprawling web of complex ties that connect many of the historic thrones of Europe. King Charles III, Constantine's second cousin, was represented by his sister, Princess Anne.
Queen Sofia of Spain, Constantine’s sister and wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain, looked sombre as she remembered her sibling alongside her husband, son King Felipe VI and daughter-in-law Queen Letizia. Felipe’s sister, Princess Cristina, was joined by her four children, arriving alongside her maternal aunt, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark.
It comes amid news that Anne-Marie’s eldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos, could soon be moving to Athens with his wife, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on 30 August 1946) is the current Queen consort of Greece as the wife of Constantine II, King of Greece. She is also a member of the Danish Royal Family as the daughter of King Fredrik IX of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden.
Life[]
Anne-Marie is the youngest sister of the reigning Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II.
Marriage and Issue[]
In 1959, thirteen-year-old Anne-Marie met her future husband, Constantine, Crown Prince of Greece, when he accompanied his parents on a state visit to Denmark. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the marriage of Constantine's sister Princess Sofia of Greece to Juan Carlos, Prince of Asturias at which Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid, and again in 1963 at the centenary celebrations of the Greek monarchy.
After the death of his father in 1964, the engagement between Constantine and 17-year-old Anne-Marie was announced. They were married on 18 September 1964 in Athens. Constantine and Anne-Marie have five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora, and Philippos.

Born on 30 August 1946, the royal was born Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, the youngest of three daughters born to King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. Her older sisters are Queen Margrethe II of Denmark (who recently made headlines due to her decision to strip four of her grandchildren of their royal titles) and Princess Benedikte of Denmark.
The sisters are related to the British Royal Family though their maternal grandmother Princess Margaret of Connaught, who was daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. This made Anne-Marie a third cousin of both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Anne-Marie is also the first cousin of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, the second cousin of King Harald V of Norway and a third cousin of King Juan Carlos I of Spain (father of King Felipe VI).

Money, power and beauty. Following Prince Michael of Greece's death, discover why the Greek royal family have been hailed the world’s ‘most glamorous’
This complex family tree is reflected in Anne-Marie’s dazzling list of godparents. Among them were representatives from five European monarchies, including Britain’s Queen Mary (wife of King George V).
Anne-Marie spent her formative years living between Danish royal palaces in Copenhagen and North Zealand. She was less than a year old when her father ascended the throne as King Frederick IX, following the death of her grandfather Christian X. At the time, only male heirs were recognised in the line of succession. However, this was changed in 1953 and Margrethe, Frederick’s eldest daughter, became heir apparent. Benedikte and Anne-Marie were second and third in line to the throne.

Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark, Princess Diana’s dashing godson, turns 37
As he celebrates his 37th birthday, Tatler looks at the charmed life of Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark
Like Queen Elizabeth II, Anne-Marie was only a teenager when she met her future husband. Constantine, a distant cousin, was introduced to the young princess while accompanying his parents King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece, on a state visit to Denmark in 1959. The pair crossed paths several times over the next few years, including at the wedding of Constantine’s sister Princess Sofia of Greece and Denmark (now Queen Sofia of Spain) to the then Prince Juan Carlos of Spain (the future King Juan Carlos I). Constantine and Anne-Marie announced their engagement in July 1964, four months after he had succeeded his father as King of the Hellenes.
Following a military coup in 1967, and an unsuccessful counter-coup, Constantine II and his family were exiled. Queen Anne-Marie, along with the rest of her family lived in a number of places including Britain and Italy. The monarchy was ultimately abolished in 1973 and Constantine II was later stripped of his Greek citizenship. Anne-Marie was not allowed to return to her beloved country until 1981 where she was allowed to attend the funeral of her mother-in-law. Constantine II returned to Greece amidst the financial crash, when the country's rich were fleeing and its youth were leaving in order to find a better life. He invested heavily in the country.

Prince William and Kate will embrace a poignant leadership role on the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death
King Charles III will be supported by Prince William and Kate as he spend the day privately in Balmoral
In January this year, Constantine II died of a stroke aged 82. Representatives from Europe's royal families made the journey to Athens to support Anne-Marie and her family. During his funeral, she paid tribute to her beloved husband in two important ways. First, she wore the crucifix that she wore on her wedding day. She also wore a wreath made up of white lilies, which was the same flower that was used for her bridal bouquet.
Undoubtedly, the death of her beloved husband will mean this birthday is particularly poignant for Queen Anne-Marie.

|
Anne-Marie RE (Greek: Άννα-Μαρία, romanized: Ánna-María; born 30 August 1946) is a Danish princess who was Queen of Greece as the consort of King Constantine II from their marriage on 18 September 1964 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Anne-Marie is the youngest daughter of Frederik IX of Denmark and Ingrid of Sweden. In 1964, she married Constantine and became queen consort of Greece. They had five children: Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora, and Prince Philippos. As queen, Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as "Her Majesty's Fund", a foundation established by her mother-in-law, Queen Frederica of Greece. In 1967, Anne-Marie and her family were forced into exile upon the rise of a military dictatorship. After fleeing to Rome, they eventually settled in London, when the Greek monarchy was officially abolished.
Anne-Marie and her family were stripped of their Greek citizenship and had their property revoked, leading them to sue in the European Court of Human Rights, where they won and were allowed back to Greece. Of the compensation she earned, Anne-Marie set up the "Anne-Marie Foundation", which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece. In 2013, she and Constantine moved back into Greece. They moved to Athens in 2022. Constantine died in January the following year.
Birth and family
Princess Anne-Marie was born on 30 August 1946 in Frederik VIII's Palace, an 18th-century palace which forms part of the Amalienborg Palace complex in central Copenhagen. She was the third and last daughter and child of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Ingrid of Denmark. Her father was the eldest son of Christian X of Denmark and Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin; her mother, born a Princess of Sweden, was the only daughter of the Crown Prince of Sweden and Princess Margaret of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. At birth, Anne-Marie had two elder sisters: Princess Margrethe (later becoming Queen Margrethe II upon her accession to the Danish throne in 1972 until abdicating in favour of her son, Frederik X, in 2024), and Princess Benedikte, who married Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and lives in Germany.
Anne-Marie was baptised on 9 October 1946 in the Holmen Church in Copenhagen. Her godparents are King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark (paternal grandparents); the then Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden (maternal grandfather); Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland (maternal uncle); King Haakon VII of Norway (paternal granduncle); Princess Dagmar of Denmark (paternal grandaunt); Prince George of Greece and Denmark (grandfather's first cousin); the Crown Princess Märtha of Norway (father's first cousin); Queen Mary of the United Kingdom; and Crown Princess Juliana of the Netherlands.
Anne-Marie is a great-great-granddaughter of both Queen Victoria and Christian IX of Denmark. Therefore, she is related to many other members of European royalty, such as her future husband Constantine II, who is also a great-great-grandchild of both Queen Victoria and Christian IX of Denmark. Moreover, Anne-Marie is the aunt by marriage of Felipe VI of Spain and the first cousin of Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
Early life
Princess Anne-Marie and her sisters grew up in apartments at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen and in Fredensborg Palace in North Zealand. She spent summer holidays with the royal family in her parents' summer residence at Gråsten Palace in Southern Jutland. On 20 April 1947, less than a year after Princess Anne-Marie's birth, her grandfather, Christian X, died, and her father ascended the throne as King Frederik IX.
At the time of her father's accession to the throne, only males could ascend the throne of Denmark. As Anne-Marie's parents had no sons, it was assumed that her paternal uncle, Prince Knud, would one day assume the throne. The popularity of Frederik IX and his daughters and the more prominent role of women in Danish life paved the way for a new Act of Succession in 1953 which permitted female succession to the throne following the principle of male-preference primogeniture, where a female can ascend to the throne if she has no brothers. Her eldest sister, Margrethe, therefore became heir presumptive, and Princess Benedikte and Princess Anne-Marie became second and third in the line of succession.
Anne-Marie was educated at N. Zahle's School, a private school in Copenhagen, from 1952 to 1961. In 1961, she attended the Chatelard School for Girls, an English boarding school outside Montreux in Switzerland. In 1963 and 1964, she attended the Institut Le Mesnil, a Swiss finishing school also in Montreux. Upon returning from schooling, Anne-Marie undertook childcare work for a few years. This was in approval of her mother, who wished for her to become a good housewife to her future husband.
Marriage
Main article: Wedding of Constantine II of Greece and Anne-Marie of Denmark
In 1959, at the age of 13, Anne-Marie first met her future husband, her third cousin Constantine, Crown Prince of Greece, who accompanied his parents, King Paul and Queen Frederica, on a state visit to Denmark. Constantine at the time was 19 years old. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. The pair became secretly engaged without telling the public nor members of their families due to Frederik IX's opposition to their relationship because of her age. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the wedding of Constantine's older sister, Princess Sophia of Greece and Denmark, and Prince Juan Carlos of Spain. Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid, while Constantine was a groomsman for the future monarchs of Spain. The couple spent time in Athens afterward and told their families about their engagement. They met again in 1963 at the centenary celebrations of the Greek monarchy. Though it had already been revealed to their family, their engagement was announced to the public during these celebrations. Following this, Anne-Marie began studying the history of Greece and the history of the Greek monarchy, as well as taking Modern Greek lessons in order to learn the language of the country her husband was to reign over.
Constantine's mother, Frederica, initially requested that one million dollars be spent on the wedding, however, the private office of the Danish royal family denied this. The Danish and Greek royal families eventually agreed on two million dollars being invested in the wedding. Prior to it being spent, this money was stored in the Swiss banking system. In July 1964, the announcement of the engagement of Constantine and Anne-Marie raised the polite protests of the Left in Denmark. Previously, on 6 March 1964, King Paul died, and Constantine succeeded him as King of the Hellenes. There was speculation that as a result of Paul's death, the wedding would be postponed and delayed. However, Frederica requested that their marriage remained on its original date. Anne-Marie and Constantine were married on 18 September 1964 (two weeks after Anne-Marie's 18th birthday) in the Metropolis, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Athens. Prior to the wedding, Anne-Marie converted from Lutheranism to the Greek Orthodox Church. Also, in view of the fact that she was marrying a foreign ruler, consent to the marriage was given on the condition that Anne-Marie renounce her succession rights to the Danish throne for herself and her descendants.
Queen of the Hellenes
As Queen of Greece, Anne-Marie's initial primary role was to provide the nation with an heir who would eventually take over as King. Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as "Her Majesty's Fund" and later as the "Anne-Marie Foundation", which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece. Her Majesty's Fund was an organisation set up by Frederica during her husband's reign which aimed at assisting the poor and disadvantaged. Anne-Marie also worked closely with the Red Cross and other not-for-profit charities.
On 10 July 1965, Queen Anne-Marie gave birth at the villa Mon Repos in Corfu to her first child, Princess Alexia, who was heir presumptive to the throne of Greece, from her birth until the birth of her younger brother Crown Prince Pavlos on 20 May 1967 in accordance with Greece's order of succession adhering to male-preference primogeniture. At the time of Alexia and Pavlos' births, political stability within Greece was diminishing due to a schism between Constantine and the Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou, who wished to demote the minister of defence, Petros Garoufalias, in order to assume office himself. A falling out resulting in Papandreou's resignation then ensued.
A group of Greek soldiers in April 1967 overthrew the government of the new Prime Minister, Panagiotis Kanellopoulos, which marked the beginning of a military dictatorship in Greece. The royal family was left unaware and in order to avoid fighting, Constantine and Anne-Marie agreed to recognise the dictatorship against their will, however many members of the public therefore believed that they supported and even funded the coup. The following month, Anne-Marie gave birth to a son, Pavlos, who immediately assumed the position of Crown Prince of Greece from his sister. At his baptism, Anne-Marie and Constantine decided to make Frederica his godmother and the Hellenic Army his godfather figure. Many people viewed this decision as the royal family's recognition of the military dictatorship. As a result of the military coup, relations between Athens and Copenhagen had been deteriorating and in an attempt to salvage "national security", no member of the Danish royal family was permitted to attend the baptism. Margrethe II of Denmark, the future queen of Denmark, was married to Henri de Laborde de Monpezat at their wedding on 10 June 1967. Anne-Marie, the sister of Margrethe, and Constantine were subsequentially denied an invite to their wedding, further ruining relations for a period of time.
Exile
In December 1967, Constantine attempted to shake off the military's authoritarian regime by trying to stage a counter-coup with the help of his political allies. The counter-coup failed. Upon the coup's abandonment, the military junta in Greece strongly advised Anne-Marie and Constantine to leave the country. Without leaving them any real options when saying this, they were essentially forcing them to be exiled from the country. Anne-Marie and Constantine fled to nearby Italy and sought refuge at the Greek Embassy in Rome, where Anne-Marie and Constantine became puppet monarchs. After two months of refuge at the Greek Embassy, Anne-Marie and Constantine received greeting from Moritz, Landgrave of Hesse, who organised to put them up at the Villa Polissena, an Italian palace where Moritz himself had previously lived upon his family's exile. Anne-Marie eventually agreed with Constantine to move to 13 Via di Porta Latina, where a large villa owned by Countess Cristina Paolozzi was located. The couple rented out the space at 8,000 francs per month for the next five years.
Possibly due to stress and worry, Anne-Marie suffered a miscarriage in early 1968. Anne-Marie fell pregnant again in February of the next year and gave birth to Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark. Anne-Marie and Constantine established a small school in their villa to preserve the Greek culture among their children. Despite the expansion of their family, Anne-Marie and Constantine had been experiencing some marital struggles in the early 1970s. It was reported that Anne-Marie in 1974 was considering filing a divorce and moving back to Denmark, however, their relationship was repaired and even "strengthened" as a result.
Throughout this time, although they were living in exile, Anne-Marie and Constantine still formally remained the monarchs of Greece. They were paid monthly by the military junta, but lacked invitations to Greek governmental events. They were still allowed to represent Greece and the Greek crown at international royal events. For example, the pair attended the 21st birthday of Charles, Prince of Wales, in 1969, the 2500th anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire in 1971, and the baptism in Madrid of François, the eldest son of Alfonso, Duke of Anjou and Cádiz. One of the last events Anne-Marie and Constantine attended as the monarchs of Greece was the funeral of Frederik IX, Anne-Marie's father, whom she grieved deeply.
Dethronement
The military junta in Greece began noticeably distancing itself from the monarchy when Georgios Zoitakis replaced Georgios Papadopoulos as the Regent of Greece. In 1972, Constantine's face was replaced on coins by a phoenix, a symbol of the Greek military and the national bird of Greece.(Palmer & Greece 1990, p. 114) There began a period of growing uprise against the military dictatorship, which resulted in the abolition of the monarchy in 1973. Anne-Marie and Constantine were officially dethroned by the 1974 Greek republic referendum on 29 July 1974. The royal family were stripped of their monthly payments from the government, forcing them to leave their home in Rome. Margrethe II immediately agreed to house Anne-Marie, Constantine and their family in Amalienborg for a year. Anne-Marie moved with her family to England. They lived first in Chobham in Surrey. Later, they moved to the London suburb of Hampstead.
The military dictatorship in Greece collapsed in 1974 after a failed coup d'état, which aimed to unite Greece and Cyprus. The failed coup directly resulted in the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, which brought great opposition to the Greek junta. It was hoped that their positions as King and Queen of the Hellenes would be restored as democracy was reinstated, but another referendum confirmed that the monarchy would stay abolished and the Third Hellenic Republic was finally formed. The new Greek government continued to enforce the exile of Anne-Marie and her family as they saw them as a threat to the new republic. The family were disallowed to enter the country from then on. They were denied entry into the country even for Frederica's funeral. Frederica had died in exile in February 1981 in Madrid, where she had been staying with her daughter, Sofía. The Spanish royal family and Spanish government intervened and gained authorisation for the Greek royals to return for only one day, the day of the funeral.
In London, Anne-Marie established with Constantine the Hellenic College of London to again help their children learn the Greek language and culture. The family continued to earn support from the Spanish royal family, Danish royal family, British royal family, Swedish royal family and Norwegian royal family. Anne-Marie and Constantine received financial aid from Hussein of Jordan and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. Following their miscarriage in 1980, Anne-Marie and Constantine agreed to expand their family. After the christening of Prince Peter of Yugoslavia, whom Anne-Marie and Constantine baptised, the couple gave birth to Princess Theodora in June 1983 and later Prince Philippos in April 1986. In 1989, the silver anniversary of Anne-Marie's marriage to Constantine was celebrated at Kronborg Castle in Denmark.
Return to Greece
The government of Greece in 1991 granted Anne-Marie and Constantine permission to retrieve over 68 tonnes of their belongings to either keep or sell. These objects had previously been abandoned in Tatoi Palace and Mon Repos Palace when the monarchs were exiled 23 years earlier. Two years later, the couple were allowed to enter Greece again in a private visit on their yacht with their children. They had agreed with the government to avoid touristic and populated areas. When the family stopped for oil at a port in southern Greece, Anne-Marie and Constantine were swarmed with crowds of people and press, who greeted them with cheers and claps. As a result, the Greek government sent naval destroyers and a Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft. This was called evidence that the pair still held "real influence in Greece". The family were subsequently escorted by members of the military, before being obliged to sail out of Greek maritime borders.
Possibly as a result of their 1993 visit, Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou confiscated all property of the exiled royal family, including Tatoi, Mon Repos and Psychico, a farm located on Mount Hymettus. All tangible items that the family had not evacuated in 1991 were also taken from them by the government. Finally, the government stripped the Greek royal family of their Greek citizenship and passport, unless they renounced their dynastic rights, abandoned the name "of Greece" and swore an oath to the republic. Anne-Marie and Constantine called it "the greatest insult in this world for a Greek to be told that he is not a Greek". In addition, they were accused by the Greek government of tampering with the 1974 republic referendum results by officiating the marriage of Pavlos and Marie-Chantal Miller in London as a real princely marriage.
Anne-Marie and Constantine, along with Princess Irene and Princess Katherine, made the decision to take the Greek government to court in April 1996 over the confiscation of their citizenships and properties. The Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece agreed with their discrimination claim, however, the Council of State overrode their decision and stated that the removal of their passports was a measure taken that conforms with the constitution of the Third Republic. As a result, the family took Greece to court in the European Court of Human Rights and sued them for €200 million. Months later the initiation of the claim, the court ruled in the royal family's favour in November 2000. The ruling, however, did not require the government to return the family's properties and instead allowed them to be compensated through money. Of the €200 million claim, Anne-Marie and Constantine won €12 million, Irene won €900,000 and Katherine €300,000. The family did not receive their citizenship back either. Although originally requesting Spanish citizenships, Anne-Marie eventually requested from her sister, Margrethe II, to have Danish diplomatic passports established in the names of the members of the Greek royal family. She agreed and in their Danish passports, their names were established as "HM Queen Anne-Marie" and "HM King Constantine II".
Possibly in an attempt to villainise the former monarchs, their payments were taken out of the natural disaster relief fund. In 2003, Constantine used the money they received to establish the Anna-Maria Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation aimed to provide aid to victims of natural disasters, particularly those of floods, earthquakes and bushfires. Since 2019, Anne-Marie has headed the foundation as its president.
Later life
Following the resolution of the disputes, relations between the Greek royal family and the Greek government began to relax. On 21 May 2004, Anne-Marie was peripherally involved in a dispute in Madrid between former Crown Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Italy and his cousin and dynastic rival, Prince Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta. At a soirée held at the Zarzuela Palace during the wedding celebrations of Felipe, Prince of Asturias, Amedeo approached Vittorio, who reportedly punched him twice in the face, causing him to stumble backward down the steps. The quick intervention of Anne-Marie, who propped him up, prevented Amedeo from falling to the ground. She discreetly assisted him indoors while staunching his bleeding facial wounds until first aid was administered. Upon learning of the incident Spain's King Juan Carlos, a cousin of both men, reportedly declared that "never again" would an opportunity to abuse his hospitality be afforded the competing pretenders.
On 14 August 2004, Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine visited their former home in Athens, the former Royal Palace that is currently the Presidential Palace, for the first time since 1967. They were received by then-President of Greece Costis Stephanopoulos along with other members of the International Olympic Committee, of which Constantine was an honorary member of. In December 2004, Constantine, Anne-Marie and their children were again invited to pay a personal private visit by President Stephanopoulos. Once the games concluded, the government announced that Anne-Marie and Constantine's exile would finally be revoked.
In 2013, Anne-Marie and Constantine returned to reside in Greece. They sold their home in London for €11.5 million and announced their return to Greece. The move back to the country came at a time of low real estate prices. He and his wife, Anne-Marie, purchased a villa in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese residing there until they relocated to Athens in the spring of 2022. For her 60th birthday, Anne-Marie boarded the cruise ship the Aphroessa, which Constantine had organised for her.
Constantine began experiencing health and mobility issues, leading to him requiring more care from Anne-Marie. He was hospitalised following his COVID-19 diagnosis. On 10 January 2023, Anne-Marie became widowed when her husband died of a stroke at the private Hygeia Hospital in Athens at the age of 82.

|
Constantine II (2 June 1940 - 23 January 2023) reigned as king of Greece, from 6 March 1964 until the abolition of the monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Early life[edit]
Constantine is the only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece. As his family was forced into exile during the Second World War, he spent the first years of his childhood in Egypt and South Africa. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946 during the Greek Civil War which was being fought between the royal Greek government and communist. King George II died in 1947, and Constantine's father became the new king, making Constantine the crown prince.
As crown prince, Constantine was a competitive sailor and Olympian, winning a gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics in the Dragon class, and later serving on the International Olympic Committee. Along with his fellow crew members of the Nireus sailing vessel, he was named one of the 1960 Greek Athletes of the Year.
Reign[edit]
He acceded as king in 1964 following the death of his father, King Paul. Later that year he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark with whom he eventually had five children. Although the accession of the young monarch was initially regarded auspiciously, his reign saw political instability that culminated in a military coup on 21 April 1967 when a group colonels overthrew the government. The coup left Constantine, as the head of state, little room to manoeuvre since he had no loyal military forces on which to rely. As a result, he reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the junta on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers.
On 13 December 1967, Constantine was forced to flee the country, following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta. He remained (formally) the head of state in exile until the junta abolished the monarchy on 1 June 1973. The 1973 Greek republic referendum on 29 July, ratified the abolition by a margin of 78.57% to 21.43%. There were questions concerning the validity of this referendum and whether people were pressured to vote for a republic. Therefore a fresh referendum was held after the restoration of democracy in 1974.
This second referendum was held after the fall of the military junta on 8 December 1974 and confirmed the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Third Hellenic Republic by a margin of 69.2% to 30.8%. Constantine, who had been disadvantaged in the campaign by being banned from returning to Greece to campaign,[1] nonetheless accepted the results of the plebiscite.[2]
Later years[edit]
Having lived in Rome since he was forced to flee Greece on 13 December 1967, in 1974 King Constantine moved to England where after a short period living in Chobham, Surrey, he set up residence in Hampstead, London. In 2013, Constantine returned to reside in Greece. He and his wife Anne-Marie purchased a villa in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese residing there until they relocated to Athens in the spring of 2022.
King Constantine died on 23 January 2023 in Athens, his eldest son Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece succeeded him as head of the Royal House of Greece.
Full style[edit]
His Majesty The King of the Hellenes, Prince of Denmark, the Wends and the Goths, Heir of Norway, Duke of Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarschen, Lauenburg and Oldenburg.
Marriage and issue[edit]
King Constantine was married to Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on 18 September 1964 in Athens. The couple had five children.
Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark born 10 July 1965) married Carlos Morales Quintana and had issue.
Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece (born 20 May 1967) married Marie Chantal Miller and had issue.

The former King of Greece, Constantine II, has died at the age of 82, CNN affiliate CNN Greece reported on Tuesday.
According to CNN Greece, the former King had experienced serious health problems in the past few months and recently contracted coronavirus for the second time, which appeared to have significantly worsened his condition.
Constantine first tested positive for COVID-19 in January 2022, after being hospitalized with pneumonia the previous month, CNN Greece reported.
Constantine II was born in Psikhikó, near Athens, on June 2, 1940.
He spent World War II in exile in South Africa, returning to Greece in 1946. A year later, Constantine became crown prince when Greece’s King George II died and his brother, Paul — Constantine’s father — ascended the throne.
Constantine II became king when Paul died March 6, 1964.
That year, he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in Athens. They had five children: Prince Pavlos, Princess Alexia, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos.
After a military coup in 1967, Constantine and his family fled to Rome, and the military regime appointed a regent to take his place.
The Greek monarchy was abolished June 1, 1973, when the military regime proclaimed the country a republic — a decision that was backed by a subsequent referendum. Constantine accepted the abolition after another referendum was conducted by an elected civilian government in 1974.
That year, the former King moved from Rome to England, settling in London. In the 2000s, he became a frequent visitor to Greece.
Constantine II was the cousin of Britain’s King Charles III and the godfather of Prince William. His sister, Sofia, was queen of Spain between 1975 and 2014.

Constantine I (born Aug. 2, 1868, Athens, Greece—died Jan. 11, 1923, Palermo, Italy) was the king of Greece from 1913 to 1917 and from 1920 to 1922. His neutralist, but essentially pro-German, attitude during World War I caused the Western Allies and his Greek opponents to depose him in 1917, and, having lent himself to Greece’s disastrous policy of territorial expansion into Anatolia after his restoration, he again lost his throne in 1922.
Constantine, the eldest son of King George I of the Hellenes, received his higher education in Germany. Although the troops under his command were defeated in the Greco-Turkish War of 1897, and he, as commander in chief of the army (after 1900), failed to unite Crete (Modern Greek: Kríti) with Greece in 1909, Constantine restored his reputation during the Balkan Wars of 1912–13 and succeeded his father to the throne on March 6, 1913. The brother-in-law of the German emperor William II, he was determined to keep Greece neutral after the outbreak of World War I, whereas Prime Minister Eleuthérios Venizélos backed the Allied cause. The Allied occupation of Thessaloníki (October 1915), Venizélos’s formation of a separate pro-Allied government (October 1916), and an Allied demand for his abdication finally forced Constantine to turn power over to his second son, Alexander, on June 12, 1917, without, however, renouncing his titular right. On Alexander’s death and Venizélos’s fall from power (1920), Constantine was recalled from exile by a plebiscite. He had to pursue Venizélos’s anti-Turkish policies, which led to catastrophic war in Anatolia in 1922. A military revolt cost him his throne for the second time, and he abdicated on Sept. 27, 1922, in favour of his eldest son, who became King George II.

The King and Queen.
Photo (c) Greek Royal Family.
Yesterday, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece lost her husband and life partner of six decades. The love story between King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie is truly one of the most beautiful in modern times.
The eventual King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece first met during a visit of the Greek royal family, including then Crown Prince Constantine, to Denmark in 1959. Anne-Marie's father King Frederick took his daughter and eventual son-in-law, as well as other royal youngsters, to see the Benneweis Circus in Jutland. Constantine was the only son of King Paul I of Greece and Queen Frederica (née Princess of Hannover). Anne-Marie was the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and Queen Ingrid (née Princess of Sweden).
Constantine and Anne-Marie met again in 1961. The following year, 1962, Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Constantine's older sister Sophia to Juan Carlos of Spain. Later that same year, Anne-Marie was on holiday with her governess in Norway, where Constantine was attending a yacht racing event. He proposed and she accepted. They did not initially tell her parents.
In his biography of King Constantine II, entitled H.M. Konstantine XIII King of the Hellenes, the author G. Nicholas Tantzos wrote:
"The wedding of Sophie and Juan Carlos took place on May 14, 1962, and had even broader romantic consequences. The Crown Prince re-met his third cousin, the sixteen year-old Princess Anne-Marie. more than a hundred of Europe's royals attended the wedding, but Konstantine had eyes for no one else, and danced dance after dance with her, until his mother finally told him to give some of the other Princesses a break. Konstantine was having none of it, stating that he wanted no one else. Without telling his parents, Konstantine proposed to Anne-Marie during the summer of 1962 while they were all in Norway. She accepted, and the Prince immediately went and told his parents.
Several years before, while visiting Denmark, King Paul had also noticed the twelve-year-old Princess, and remarked to Frederika, 'She is like a butterfly. If and when he marries, I hope Konstantine marries her!'

While Frederika and Paul approved of the marriage, all was not so well in Denmark. Anne-Marie's father was delighted, but a number of legal questions were raised. Such a marriage would reunite the Danish and Greek Royal Houses. A hundred years before, the Danish Prince William, second in line to the Danish throne, had been elected King of the Hellenes as King George I. He had deferred his rights in the Danish succession to those of his younger brothers, but he, and his descendants, were still styled Princes of Denmark. Besides the close blood relationship, Danish law did not allow a girl to marry until she attained the age of eighteen. In order to marry, Anne-Marie required a letter of permission from her father, King Frederick IX, which also had to be approved by his Minister of Justice. Circumstances made this unnecessary. The death of King Paul required waiting through a period of mourning, and by the time the date was set, Anne-Marie was eighteen.
For six months the engagement had to be kept secret, much to the anguish of the Crown Prince, who lamented that it was '...unfair, since most engaged couples can see each other as often as they wish, while I have to sneak around, pretending that I am going to Denmark for the sailing.'"

The royal couple recounted their courtship in the Danish documentary A Royal Family.
Crown Prince Constantine and Paul Elvstrøm.
King Constantine: "I actually saw a picture of her in a magazine. And I said: 'That's it.' And I said: 'Well, I want to go to Denmark and meet her.' And my father said: 'How are you going to do that?' And I said: 'Well, I'll write a letter to the king and say I'm going to be in Denmark for a sailing meeting with Mr. Paul Elvstrøm, which was feasible.' I don't know if I ever told Paul that I used him as an excuse to go see this girl."
Queen Anne-Marie: "We spent, whatever it was, four or five days in Athens for the wedding [of Princess Sophia of Greece and Infante Juan Carlos of Spain], which was a wonderful occasion. And I think probably there it was that we fell in love."
Queen Anne-Marie on their engagement: "I said: 'For goodness sake, do not not tell my parents, because they will have a fit!' Which he couldn't understand, but I persuaded him, and I think he realized that they probably would have had a fit. So it wasn't until, in fact, six months after we had got engaged unofficially that we did tell my parents."
King Frederick IX, Queen Ingrid, Princess Anne-Marie, and Crown Prince Constantine.
King Constantine: "The biggest shock was for my father-in-law. I asked him if I could marry his daughter. And the poor man got such a shock that he got up, he never said a word to me, he just got up, took me by the hand, and put me in a room and locked me in there with no lights. So I had to sort of grope around to find a light, and then I found the light and opened it, and I found out I was in his toilet. And I couldn't understand what I was doing in there. And he had gone off to find his wife and tell her 'this fellow wants to marry our daughter - what do we do with him?'"

Life might change for Princess Tatiana amid her divorce from Prince Nikolaos of Greece, but at least one thing will remain the same.
Princess Tatiana, 43, will retain her royal title after her divorce from Prince Nikolaos, 54, is finalized, Hello! magazine reported. The outlet said the Greek royal family confirmed the news to Hello! Greece, a related publication.
The fate of royal titles inherited through marriage following divorce varies by royal house, and there was no modern precedent for what would become of Tatiana's princess title as none of Nikolaos' siblings have divorced.
The update comes after the office of the former royal family of Greece announced on April 19 that Princess Tatiana and Prince Nikolaos were breaking up.
"Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana, after fourteen years of living together, have decided to dissolve their marriage," the statement said. "Both express the difficulty of this decision, the deep appreciation and respect they have for each other, but also the love with which they have walked all these years. The same values of respect and understanding will form the basis of their relationship in the future, a relationship of deep and sincere friendship. They will continue to live and be active in Greece, the place they both feel at home."
"Family will always be by their side," it continued. "Thank you very much for your respect and discretion."
The split news came just weeks after the former couple were seen together at the thanksgiving service for Nikolaos' father, the late King Constantine, held at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Feb. 27. King Constantine was the last king of Greece who ruled until the abolition of the monarchy in June 1973, and died at age 82 in January 2023.
Members of the Greek and British royal families came out in full force for the memorial, including Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice and more.
Prince William abruptly dropped out of the event at the last minute, which was unexpected as he was due to give a reading at the ceremony honoring his late godfather. It later emerged that the Prince of Wales’ absence was related to his wife Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis, which she announced with the release of a self-written speech on March 22.

Prince Nikolaos is the third of King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie’s five children and married Venezuelan-born Tatiana Blatnik at the Cathedral of Ayios Nikolaos on the island of Spetses in August 2010.
The couple, who had no children, continued to pursue private careers after tying the knot and most recently made their home in Athens, according to their respective websites.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece wore a poignant piece of jewelry to the funeral of her late husband King Constantine II.
The Queen, 76, led the group of mourners who gathered for the funeral of King Constantine, who died last Tuesday at age 82. Constantine had reportedly suffered from chronic heart and mobility problems and died of a stroke after being hospitalized for breathing problems, according to The Guardian.
The King was laid to rest in Athens on Monday, where his widow wore the same diamond cross necklace she debuted on their wedding day. Constantine married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in September 1964, and the royals celebrated their 58th-anniversary last fall.
Constantine became King in 1964 at age 23 following the death of his father King Paul and married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark months later.

Constantine, who won a gold medal in sailing for his country at the 1960 Olympics, acceded the throne weeks after a vote gave control to the Center Union party over the conservatives, the Associated Press reported. Constantine later had a falling out with Prime Minister George Papandreou over control of the armed forces that led to a coup in 1967, driving him and his family to flee to Rome.
The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, but Constantine continued to use royal titles for himself and his family members. He lived most of his years in exile in Hampstead Garden Suburb in London, returning to live in Greece in 2010.
He is survived by his wife Queen Anne-Marie, their five children — Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos — and nine grandchildren, the Associated Press reported.

In the ever-connected European royal family tree, Prince Philip was first cousins with King Constantine, and Princess Anne (pictured below left) served as a bridesmaid at his wedding to Queen Anne-Marie. Princess Anne, 73, attended Constantine's funeral in Athens on Monday, standing in for her brother King Charles III. Likewise, Lady Gabriella Windsor was at the solemn service in Prince William's stead.

It is customary for senior royals in Britain to send relatives or close friends and aides to funerals on their behalf. The late Queen Elizabeth only rarely attended funerals. King Charles appears to be following the same custom and sending a family member instead.

Constantine's funeral was somewhat of a reunion for world royals. Prince Albert of Monaco was among the mourners joining royals from all over Europe paying tribute to Constantine. King Felipe and his wife Queen Letizia were also in attendance, as was Queen Margrethe of Denmark, the late King's sister-in-law.
Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were among the congregation along with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, as well as Prince Haakon of Norway and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.

King Constantine II of the Hellenes, whose reigned for nine years from March 6, 1964 until the abolition of the Greek monarchy on June 1, 1973, has died at a private hospital in Athens, late on Tuesday. He was 82.
Constantine II (June 2, 1940 – January 10, 2023) was the last King of the Hellenes (Greece).
King Constantine II was a second cousin of British monarch King Charles III. For most of his years in exile, Constantine lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb in north London.
His older sister, Queen Sophia of Spain, is the wife of former King Juan Carlos I of Spain. The current King Felipe VI of Spain is his nephew. Constantine II was also the cousin of Greek-Danish Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh and the husband of the late Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
Christian IX of Denmark’s second son, Vilhelm of Denmark, was elected King George I of the Hellenes in 1863, a few months before his father ascended the Danish throne.
Christian IX was of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and this family ruled in Greece from 1863 – until the monarchy was abolished in 1974. There was also a period of time when Greece was a Republic, 1922 and 1935, until the monarchy was restored under King George II of the Hellenes.
Constantine was the only son of King Pavlos of Greece and Friederike, Princess of Hanover, Princess of Great Britain and Ireland, and Princess of Brunswick-Lüneburg, the only daughter and third child of Ernst August of Hanover, then reigning Duke of Brunswick, and his wife Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, herself the only daughter of the German Emperor Wilhelm II.
The Greek Royal Family was forced into exile after the First World War and then again during the Second World War. Constantine returned to Greece with his family in 1946 during the Greek Civil War. King George II died in 1947, and Constantine’s father became King Pavlos I, making Constantine the Crown Prince.
Constantine became king in 1964 following the death of his father, King Pavlos I. During the same year the new Greek King married his cousin Princess ofDenmark with whom he eventually had five children.
Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, is the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and his wife Ingrid of Sweden. Ingrid of Sweden was the daughter of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden and his first wife, Princess Margaret of Connaught (a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom).
Anne-Marie’s sister is Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
King Constantine II, continued to style himself King of Greece and his children as princes and princesses even though Greece no longer recognised titles of nobility. This is not unusual for former Royal Families. The Greek Royal Family are still Prince and Princesses of Denmark. Constantine travelled with a Danish passport, as a Danish prince.
It took Constantine 14 years to return to his country, briefly, to bury his mother, Queen Frederica in 1981, but he eventually moved back permanently.
His five children are Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos; and nine grandchildren.

The Prince of Wales has missed a memorial service for his godfather the late King Constantine of Greece because of a personal matter.
Kensington Palace would not elaborate further but said the Princess of Wales, who is recovering from abdominal surgery, continues to be doing well.
Queen Camilla led the royal family at the St George’s Chapel service, attended by a large number of Constantine’s family and foreign royalty, as the King is continuing to receive treatment for cancer.
Among those in the congregation were the disgraced Duke of York who with ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York led the main contingent of British royals as they walked downhill from Windsor Castle to the church.
Andrew smiled as he strode ahead of Sarah followed by their daughter Princess Beatrice with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, Zara and Mike Tindall and the King’s cousin Lady Sarah Chatto.
Constantine II’s widow Queen Anne-Marie was joined by their children, Crown Prince Pavlos, Princess Alexia, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora, Prince Philippos, and a number of their grandchildren.
Former prime minister Sir John Major was also invited by the Greek royal household to the service as was ex-Formula One racing driver Sir Jackie Stewart and King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain.
William called the Greek royal family to let them know he was unable to attend, and Crown Prince Pavlos stood in for the British heir to the throne who was due to give a Bible reading.
The King stayed overnight at Windsor Castle but did not meet any of the guests ahead of the service and had left before a reception was held afterwards at the royal residence.
Charles was close to his second cousin Constantine, who was a first cousin once removed and sailing partner of the late Duke of Edinburgh.
Constantine died at the age of 82 in January last year, decades after being toppled from the throne in a military coup.
Charles was later spotted arriving in the capital where he is expected to receive further cancer treatment as an outpatient.
He was photographed arriving at Clarence House and since his diagnosis has postponed all public-facing duties, but is continuing with behind-the-scenes work on his red boxes of state papers and his weekly meetings with the Prime Minister.
Kate left hospital on January 29 and returned to her Adelaide Cottage home close to Windsor Castle but is not expected to return to official duties until after Easter.
Constantine was also godfather to Prince and Princess of Michael of Kent’s daughter Lady Gabriella Kingston.
She did not attend, although her parents did, and it later emerged Lady Gabriella’s husband Thomas Kingston died suddenly on Sunday.

ATHENS — Constantine II, the last king of Greece, who ruled for just three years during a turbulent period in the country’s modern history that culminated in the abolition of the monarchy, died on Tuesday in a hospital here. He was 82.
He had been in intensive care for several days after a respiratory infection, a family spokeswoman said.
Constantine was a popular figure when, at 23, he ascended the throne after the death of his father, King Paul, in 1964. Just years earlier he won Greece’s first Olympic gold medal in sailing in decades, at the 1960 Games in Rome.

Constantine II (born June 2, 1940, Psikhikó, near Athens, Greece—died January 10, 2023, Athens, Greece) was the king of Greece from 1964 to 1974.
After spending World War II in exile in South Africa, Constantine returned to Greece in 1946. When his father became King Paul I in 1947, Constantine became crown prince; he succeeded to the throne upon his father’s death on March 6, 1964. Fearing leftist infiltration of the army, he dismissed Premier Georgios Papandreou in July 1965 and appointed interim premiers until April 21, 1967, when a military coup forestalled the election he was planning for May of that year. He attempted a countercoup from northern Greece on December 13, 1967, but had few sympathizers and almost immediately fled to Rome with his family. The military regime retained control of the monarchy and appointed a regent in Constantine’s place, granting the king a free return if he so desired.

|
Greece's Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana have announced their 'amicable' separation after 14 years of marriage just weeks after appearing together at a memorial service for the prince's father, King Constantine.
The 54-year-old Prince is the son of Constantine II of Greece - the last king of Greece after it abolished its monarchy in 1973 and Prince William's godfather.
He married Venezuelan-born Princess Tatiana, 43, in August 2010, and the pair had only been pictured together at a thanksgiving service for his father in Windsor in February. Constantine died in Athens last year of a stroke at the age of 82.
After almost 14 years of marriage, the pair quietly and unexpectedly announced their separation yesterday. News of the split was published in a statement on the Greek's royal family website.
Royalty from around the world, including the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Spain, attended their wedding on the Greek island of Spetses, the Telegraph reported.
The statement read: 'We wish to inform you of a significant and heartfelt decision made by TRH Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana.
'After fourteen years of marriage, they have chosen to amicably dissolve their union.
'This decision was reached with great care and mutual respect, reflecting the depth of their appreciation for one another and the moments they have shared.
'Their future interactions will continue to be guided by these same principles of respect and understanding, as they transition into a relationship rooted in a strong friendship.
'They will continue to live and build their lives in Greece, a place they both call home. The Family will always support them.
'We warmly thank you for your understanding and for respecting their privacy during this time.'
The couple met during a ski holiday in Switzerland in 2003 and announced their engagement six years later - with the wedding one of the high society events of the year.
Shortly after their wedding, Princess Tatiana left her job as an events’ organiser for designer Diana Von Furstenberg, MailOnline previously reported.
Greek media has reported murmurs of estrangement in recent months - with the appearance at the Windsor memorial service in February the last time they were seen together in public.
The couple do not have any children. Prince Nikolaos is the third child of King Constantine II, Greece's last reigning monarch, who passed away on January 10 last year after suffering a stroke.
Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana were pictured together in February this year for the late King of Greece's Thanksgiving service at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Both wearing black, they paid their respects with members of the Greek royal family, the British royal family and others.
King Constantine was Prince William's godfather - but the Prince of Wales pulled out of the memorial service held for the Greek King in February citing 'personal reasons' - as Princess Catherine continued to recover from planned abdominal surgery.
Prince Andrew was front and centre on Tuesday with Sarah, Duchess of York and his daughter Princess Beatrice - along with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi - because it was deemed a personal family event.
It is also understood that the Duke of York was attending the service as a member of the British Royal Family and had been invited by the Greek royal family. Andrew's other daughter Princess Eugenie was not in attendance.
Constantine II was Greece's last king, reigning for three years from 1964 before a military coup, and then a referendum, led to Greece becoming a republic.
His failed attempt to overthrow the military actors 1967 coup forced him to flee the country and he remained monarch in absentia until the monarchy was formally abolished in 1973.
He was King Charles' second cousin, and first cousin once removed of the late Prince Phillip - meaning he and senior royals enjoyed a strong bond.
He and the Duke of Edinburgh were close friends and sailing partners, and these close ties with the UK monarchy made the country a prime country for relocation as he sought refuge overseas following the 1967 coup.
For most of his years in exile, he lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, and was said to be especially close to Charles, who made Constantine godfather to his first son - William.
In 2013, more than 40 years after leaving his homeland, Constantine returned to live out his final years in Greece, dying in Athens.
Prince Nikolaos is one of five children - Alexia, Pavlos, Theodora, and Philippos.

Constantine I, Roman emperor or Constantine the Great (kn´stntn, tn) (KEY) , 288?337, Roman emperor, b. Naissus (present-day Ni, Yugoslavia). He was the son of Constantius I and Helena and was named in full Flavius Valerius Constantinus.
Rise to Power
When his father was made caesar (subemperor), Constantine was left at the court of the emperor Diocletian, where he was under the watchful eye of Galerius, who was caesar with Constantius. When Diocletian and Maximian resigned in 305, Constantius and Galerius became emperors.
Constantius requested that Constantine be sent to him in Britain, and Galerius reluctantly complied. Constantius died at York the next year. There, his soldiers proclaimed Constantine emperor, but much rivalry for the vacated office ensued. In Italy, Maxentius, supported by the Romans and by his father Maximian, vied with Severus and Galerius. Constantine, accepting the lesser title of caesar from Galerius, remained aloof while Maxentius and Maximian defeated Severus and Galerius.
Constantine made an alliance with Maximian, marrying his daughter Fausta and recognizing Maxentius after a fashion. When Maximian, in dispute with his son, fled to Constantine, Constantine received and sheltered him until Maximian, in an attempt to regain the throne, undertook (310) a revolt against Constantines rule in Gaul. Unsuccessful against Constantine, Maximian was forced to commit suicide.
Constantine, having already declared against Maxentius and ignoring the fact that Galerius had recognized Licinius in the East, now considered himself emperor. When Galerius died in 310, still another claimant to the imperial throne appeared in Maximin (d. 313), who allied himself with Maxentius against the alliance of Licinius and Constantine. While Licinius attacked Maximin, Constantine moved into Italy against Maxentius. The rivals for Italy met (312) at the Milvian or Mulvian Bridge over the Tiber near Rome. Before the battle Constantine, who was already sympathetic toward Christianity, is said by Eusebius of Caesarea to have seen in the sky a flaming cross inscribed with the words, "In this sign thou shalt conquer." He adopted the cross and was victorious. Maxentius was routed and killed. The battle is regarded as a turning point for Christianity.
In 313 Constantine and his fellow emperor, Licinius, met at Milan and there issued the so-called Edict of Milan, confirming Galerius edict of 309, which stated that Christianity would be tolerated throughout the empire. The edict in effect made Christianity a lawful religion, although it did not, as is sometimes believed, make Christianity the official state religion.
No longer having Maximin to contend with, Licinius challenged Constantine, and a brief struggle followed. Constantine, victorious, took (315) control over Greece and the Balkans, and the uneasy peace that followed lasted until 324, when Licinius again vied with Constantine. This time Licinius lost his throne and ultimately his life.
A Christian Empire
Constantine was now sole ruler of the empire, and in a reign of peace he set about rebuilding the strength of old Rome. Constantine continued to tolerate paganism and even to encourage the imperial cult. At the same time, however, he endeavored to unify and strengthen Christianity.
In 314 he convened a synod at Arles to regulate the Church in the West, and in 325 he convened and presided over a council at Nicaea to deal with the troubles over Arianism (see Nicaea, First Council of). Thus Constantine evolved the idea of the ecumenical council. In 330 he moved the capital to Byzantium, which was rebuilt as Constantinople, a city predominantly Christian and dedicated to the Virgin. He seems to have favored compromise with Arianism, and in 335, in defiance of the Council of Tyre, he exiled St. Athanasius.
As the founder of the Christian empire, Constantine began a new era. He was an absolute ruler, and his reign saw the culmination of the tendency toward despotic rule, centralized bureaucracy, and separation of military and civil powers evolved by Diocletian. Constantines legal reforms were marked by great humanity, perhaps a result of Christian influence. Though he had done much to unify the empire, at his death Constantine divided it again, providing for his three surviving sons and also to some extent for the sons of his half brother. These nephews were soon killed (though others, notably Julian the Apostate, survived), but complex contests ensued between Constans I, Constantine II, and Constantius II.
Historians differ greatly in their assessments of Constantines motives and the depth of his Christian conviction. Early Christian writers portray him as a devout convert, although they have difficulty explaining his execution in 320 (on adultery charges) of Crispus, his son by his first wife, and Fausta, his wife. Some later historians see him as a political genius, expediently using Christianity to unify his empire. An intermediate interpretation pictures him as a pagan gradually converted to Christianity (he was baptized on his deathbed), using his new belief for personal ends much as earlier emperors had used the imperial cult.

Our retrospective of the jewels and history of Greece’s royal weddings continues today with the 1964 nuptials of the country’s last king, Constantine II, and his Danish-born wife, Princess Anne-Marie.

When we left the Greek royals yesterday at the end of 1938, Crown Prince Paul and Crown Princess Friederike were happy newlyweds who had just welcomed their first child, Princess Sophia. Less than a year later, Europe was at war. Paul’s brother, King George II, sympathized with the British cause, while Prime Minister Metaxas was pro-German. An attempt was made to remain neutral. In the midst of all of these tensions, Crown Princess Friederike gave birth to her second child. Prince Constantine, named after his Greek royal grandfather, was born at the family’s home in Psychiko in June 1940. Because the Greek royal line practiced male-preference primogeniture, he took precedence over his older sister in the line of succession, becoming Crown Prince Paul’s heir and Greece’s future king.

Baby Constantine was only a few months old when the tensions rumbling in Greece began to break. War was declared between Greece and Italy in October 1940, and in April 1941, after the deaths of Metaxas and his successor, Prime Minister Koryzis, German forces invaded Greece, too. Once again, the Greek royals headed for exile. King George II headed the government in exile in Egypt, South Africa, and Britain throughout the majority of the war, supported by Crown Prince Paul. Friederike and the children stayed with the family as well. In Cape Town, South Africa, she gave birth to the couple’s second daughter, Princess Irene, in 1942. After the end of the war, the royals returned to Greece, arriving triumphantly in Athens in September 1946.

But King George II’s reign only lasted a short while longer. In April 1947, he died suddenly in Athens from a heart condition. Six-year-old Constantine’s father now became King Paul of the Hellenes, and Constantine became Greece’s crown prince. The little prince walked in his uncle’s funeral procession, holding his father’s hand. The Associated Press reported that Constantine, “wearing gray flannel shorts and a white shirt, received an occasional reminder from his father to keep his eyes straight ahead, in keeping with royal demeanor.”

King Paul held on to the throne through Crown Prince Constantine’s childhood, even in the midst of civil war in Greece. Constantine was sent to boarding schools, including Victoria College in Egypt, and received military training. Athletically talented, he earned a black belt in karate and a gold medal in sailing at the 1960 Summer Olympics. He was also a fixture at royal occasions, serving as a train bearer at the wedding of his cousin, King Michael of Romania, in 1948, and accompanying his parents and sisters at events in Greece and abroad.
One of these royal events, a family holiday in Denmark in September 1959, would change the course of Constantine’s life. Crown Princess Margrethe of Denmark threw a ball for young royals at Fredensborg Palace, and Crown Prince Constantine, Princess Sophia, and Princess Irene were all in attendance, along with Crown Prince Harald of Norway and Princess Desiree of Sweden. Rumors in the press at the time linked nineteen-year-old Constantine with Desiree. He did end up meeting his future wife on the trip — but it wasn’t Desiree.
The Danish royal family, ca. 1959 (L-R): King Frederik IX, Queen Ingrid, Princess Benedikte (seated), Crown Princess Margrethe, Princess Anne-Marie
Like King Paul and Queen Friederike of the Hellenes, King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark were royal cousins who had married in the 1930s and had three children. Crown Princess Margrethe, the country’s future monarch, was born in April 1940, just a few months before Crown Prince Constantine. Two more daughters had followed: Princess Benedikte in April 1944, and Princess Anne-Marie in August 1946. Moreover, Frederik and Paul had acceded to their respective thrones almost simultaneously, both becoming king in April 1947. And, of course, all of them were related in numerous ways. Frederik, Paul, and Friederike were all descendants of King Christian IX of Denmark, while Ingrid, Paul, and Friederike were all descendants of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Paul and Frederik were also both great-great-grandsons of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia.
Frederik, Ingrid, and their daughters were close. All three were educated in a private school in Copenhagen before attending finishing schools in England and Switzerland. Anne-Marie, the youngest and most mischievous, was called “the Wild One” by the Danes. She also reportedly possessed a serious stubborn streak, and was reportedly her father’s favorite. One palace source told the press later, “She is the charmer and humorist of the royal family. Life is always fun when she is around.” As a young woman, the press depicted her as a typical teen, interested in fashion, movies, and pop music.
During the visit of their royal relatives in 1959, King Frederik IX decided to take several of the children and teenagers to see a traveling circus that was open near Grasten Castle. Nineteen-year-old Crown Prince Constantine was one of the attendees; he was seated next to thirteen-year-old Princess Anne-Marie. Though Anne-Marie spoke no Greek, and Constantine little Danish, the two shared English as a common language. The crown prince and princess “hardly were aware of each other’s existence” until that circus visit, according to the press, and Anne-Marie “was a little awed by him.” But a Danish courtier downplayed the idea that any romance was involved in the moment: “Frankly I don’t think it was love at first sight. Anne-Marie probably was much more interested in the animals,” and rightfully so — she was a child, after all. Nevertheless, the circus trip would go down in history as the significant moment when Greece’s future king first met his future wife.
It took years for the youthful friendship to blossom into romance. Constantine and Anne-Marie found themselves in each other’s company multiple times over the next few years, as Constantine was a frequent visitor to Scandinavia. There were plenty of opportunities for Constantine’s eyes to be turned toward other eligible young women. Like his father before him, Constantine’s name was linked in the press with an young Greek woman, the famous blonde actress Aliki Vougiouklaki. Moreover, his parents, King Paul and Queen Friederike, were famous for organizing parties and holidays for all the young royals to attend, both to promote Greek tourism and to give the young royals a chance to meet each other. More than one royal engagement resulted from these parties, including that of Constantine’s sister, Princess Sophia, and Infante Juan Carlos of Spain.

In May 1962, Princess Anne-Marie arrived in Greece to serve as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Juan Carlos and Sophia. Constantine and Anne-Marie were reportedly inseparable during the wedding festivities. Soon after, one gossip columnist enthused, “The romance between Crown Prince Constantine of Greece and 15-year-old Anna Maria, the youngest daughter of the King of Denmark, is picking up steam. Anna Maria recently left her family to go alone to Norway where Constantine was boat racing. And last week when the Princess returned to Copenhagen, Constantine was right behind her. All this should make Queen Frederika, Constantine’s mother, jump up and down with glee.” On one of Anne-Marie’s birthdays, Constantine surprised her with a visit to her school in Copenhagen. As he sang “Happy Birthday,” she “ran down the stairway, tripped three steps from the bottom and sprawled headlong at his feet in an unladylike heap. She was unhurt, and there was laughter.” In October 1962, Anne-Marie and Constantine were spotted leaving an Athens theater together after a violin concert. Engagement speculation reached an all-time high, even though Anne-Marie was still only sixteen years old.

The press didn’t know it at the time, but the couple was already privately engaged, and reportedly had been since that boat racing trip in Norway. King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid initially balked at the idea of their youngest daughter’s engagement to the future king, largely because she was so young and still attending school. King Frederik was also, quite naturally, very concerned about the political future of the royal family in Greece. One courtier anonymously told a newspaper as early as 1964, “Anne-Marie has been reared to be a princess and a queen, but I’m afraid it might not be long before she is thrown out of Greece, and her father is aware of that.” In the end, Frederik and Ingrid relented only when the couple agreed that they would not marry until Anne-Marie had turned eighteen and finished her education. To help guard against the political dangers, Frederik made the decision to appoint a separate and seasoned Danish ambassador to Athens, a diplomatic role that had previously been handled by their ambassador in Ankara.

On a frigid, windy day in January 23, 1963, King Paul and Queen Friederike arrived in Copenhagen for the official announcement of Constantine’s engagement to the young Danish princess. The newly-engaged couple appeared in public at the airport holding hands. The Associated Press marveled that the “engagement, long rumored and often denied, was announced almost without warning,” adding that “Amalienborg Palace did not immediately disclose when and where the wedding [would] take place.” Unofficially, plans were made to hold the ceremony two years later, in early 1965, though gossipy press reports claimed that Queen Friederike, worried about the state of the Greek monarchy, had pressed hard to have the wedding held much sooner.

In the interim, the Danish royals became frequent visitors to Athens, giving the Greeks plenty of opportunities to see their future queen. One of their most prominent appearances there came in March 1963, when the entire Danish royal family traveled to Greece for the celebration of the centenary of the Greek monarchy, as the first modern king of Greece (George I) had been born a Danish prince. In a toast to the Danish royals, King Paul proclaimed, “The welcome of the Greek people has given you a clear picture of what we all feel in Greece for the people of Denmark and your royal family.”

But of course — as always seems to be true for the Greek royals — tragedy and disruption was lurking just around the corner. A political crisis was brewing once again in Greece, and demonstrators were vocal about their dislike of the royal family when King Paul and Queen Friederike visited London in July 1963. And then, King Paul’s health began to fail. He’d undergone an operation to remove his appendix in May 1963, and further surgery was done in February 1964. The diagnosis was stomach cancer. Sixty-two-year-old King Paul died in Athens on March 6, 1964, making his son, twenty-three-year-old King Constantine II of the Hellenes, the youngest European head of state. His younger sister, now Crown Princess Irene, temporarily became the heir to the Greek throne. Princess Anne-Marie attended the late king’s state funeral with the rest of the Greek royals and her parents. (Another Greek family member, the Duke of Edinburgh, had to rush to Athens for the funeral, which was held less than 48 hours after the birth of his youngest child, the Earl of Wessex.)

After King Paul’s sudden death, a plan to push the wedding forward was put in motion. The official period of mourning for the late king would end in September. Anne-Marie’s eighteenth birthday was on August 30, 1964, and the wedding was scheduled for three weeks later. The princess celebrated the milestone privately with family at Fredensborg Palace, and was given her first tiara, the Antique Corsage Tiara, as a birthday gift. A week later, Constantine arrived in Copenhagen for a series of pre-wedding festivities. On September 8, the couple was feted with a gala performance at the Danish National Theatre, followed by a state banquet for a thousand guests at Christiansborg Palace. For that event, Anne-Marie wore her birthday-gift tiara in public for the first time.

An estimated crowd of 100,000 people gathered in the streets of Copenhagen to bid farewell to their princess on September 9 as she and Constantine rode through the rain-soaked streets of the capital in an open carriage. At a luncheon at the city hall, Anne-Marie gave a final speech: “This is a strange day for me, because this is the last time I will stand here as a Dane in my own country and my native city. So therefore I would like to say a deeply felt thank you to the many people all over the country who, with their greetings and gifts, have shown that they think of me. I am completely overwhelmed and deeply grateful.”
King Constantine II flew to Greece with Crown Princess Margrethe to await his bride, who traveled with her parents and Princess Benedikte to the Italian port of Brindisi, where they boarded the royal yacht, Dannebrog, to sail to Greece. Once the yacht approached the port of Piraeus, Constantine went aboard so that he could formally escort his bride on to the Greek shore. On September 11, shortly after the family’s arrival, the Greek government hosted a gala for the royals at the Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens. At that gala, Princess Anne-Marie wore Greek royal jewels for the first time: the tiara and coordinating pieces from the family’s ruby parure, a gift from her new mother-in-law. (The jewels were also displayed with her wedding gifts.) The next few days were packed with receptions aimed at introducing Anne-Marie to the locals, including several parties at Tatoi Palace and a festival hosted by the armed forces at the Olympic Stadium. Though she was welcomed enthusiastically by many Greeks, she still struggled with their language. When King Constantine told reporters that Anne-Marie knew only five words of Greek, she interrupted: “Your Majesty is wrong. I know 25 Greek words.”
Guests from around the world descended upon Athens as the whirlwind of wedding festivities began. Lynda Bird Johnson, the young daughter of the American president, arrived to represent her father. An entire continent’s worth of monarchs were present in Athens, including King Gustaf VI Adolf (the bride’s grandfather) and Queen Louise of Sweden, King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola of Belgium, King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand, Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (with Princess Beatrix), King Hussein (who had attended school with Constantine) and Princess Muna of Jordan, King Olav V of Norway (with Crown Prince Harald), Prince Franz Joseph and Princess Gina of Liechtenstein, and Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace of Monaco. (Both Queen Louise and Princess Grace attended some of the festivities but had to sit out the actual wedding ceremony due to the heat. Louise was in frail health, and Grace was expecting Princess Stephanie.) The former kings of Bulgaria, Romania, and Italy were also on the guest list, as were Hereditary Grand Duke Jean and Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte of Luxembourg and Lord Mountbatten. The only reigning European monarch not in attendance was Queen Elizabeth II, who was represented by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Princess Andrew, Prince Charles, and Princess Anne arrive for the wedding
The Greek royal family brought an impressive contingent of extended relatives, too. Constantine’s aunts and uncle, Queen Helen of Romania, Princess Irene, Duchess of Aosta, and Lady Katherine and Major Richard Brandram, were in attendance; so were Princess Andrew (with the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, and Princess Anne), Prince Michael, Princess Eugenie (with her husband and children), King Michael and Queen Anne of Romania with Princess Margareta, Princess Marina (with Prince Michael of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Angus Ogilvy), Princess Olga, and Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia. From Queen Friederike’s side of the family, Constantine’s grandmother, the Duchess of Brunswick, was present; his uncle, Prince Georg Wilhelm of Hanover, also attended with his wife, Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark, and their children, Karl and Clarissa. Constantine’s sister, Sofia, attended with her husband, Juan Carlos; his sister, Infanta Pilar of Spain; and their parents, the Count and Countess of Barcelona.

The family celebrated at a grand state ball on September 16 at the Royal Palace in Athens, which featured dozens of royals wearing “several million dollars worth of jewels, tiaras and handmade gowns,” according to press reports. Princess Anne-Marie debuted another wedding gift from Queen Friederike: the grand Greek Emerald Parure, set with Romanov stones that came to the country with Queen Olga.

Queen Friederike wore Queen Sophie’s Diamond Tiara, plus her convertible pearl and diamond necklace with Queen Marie of Romania’s sapphire pendant. In the background of the photo, you’ll also spot Queen Ingrid wearing the Danish rubies, and Queen Sirikit of Thailand wearing a diamond tiara.

Crown Princess Margrethe wore the Alexandrine Diamond Drop Tiara, Princess Benedikte wore her Floral Birthday Tiara, and Princess Irene wore Queen Sophie’s Diamond Circle Tiara.

The rest of the royals wore some seriously impressive jewels, too. Just to name a few … Marie Jose, the former queen of Italy, wore her grand diamond tiara by Musy. Queen Juliana of the Netherlands wore the Stuart Tiara. Queen Fabiola of the Belgians wore the Spanish Wedding Gift Tiara in its floral wreath form. The Countess of Barcelona wore her Diamond Loop Tiara. Queen Sofia of Spain, then still Princess Sofia, wore the Prussian Tiara. Princess Grace of Monaco wore a red gown with her small diamond tiara. Princess Claude of Orleans — who had married Constantine’s first cousin, Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, only weeks earlier — wore the family’s diamond tiara with stars and Aosta knots. Can you imagine what it must have been like to stand in that ballroom?!?
On the day of the wedding, September 18, 1964, Princess Anne-Marie dressed in a white gown by the Danish designer Jørgen Bender. (When Constantine had asked her earlier what her wedding gown looked like, she reportedly replied cheekily, “It’s bright red.”) In reality, her dress was “of duchesse satin, in classic Greek style with a high waist and simple lines” and ended “in a short train of frilled silk organza, while another train 40 feet long fell from her shoulders and was carried by her six bridesmaids.” Those bridesmaids, all royal princesses, were Princess Christina of Sweden, Princess Anne of the United Kingdom, Princess Irene of Greece and Denmark, Princess Clarissa of Hesse, Princess Margareta of Romania, and Princess Tatiana Radziwill.

Princess Anne-Marie’s veil and tiara were both important royal heirlooms. Both had belonged to her late grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught. The veil had been one of Margaret’s wedding gifts, and Queen Ingrid wore it on her own wedding day. Anne-Marie’s bridal diadem, the Khedive of Egypt Tiara, was also one of Margaret’s wedding gifts. Anne-Marie was the first royal bride to wear the Khedive Tiara, a tradition that was followed by both of her sisters, her daughter, and her two nieces. She also wore a simple necklace with a large diamond cross.
Queen Friederike puts wedding rings on the couple’s fingers
Inside Athens’s Metropolitan Cathedral, King Constantine and Princess Anne-Marie were married by the Archbishop of Athens. Their chief sponsor for the wedding was Queen Friederike, who placed on their fingers golden wedding rings made from melted down coins from the reign of Alexander the Great. While Anne-Marie “showed only a few momentary traces of nervousness” during the ceremony, the press reported that “Constantine was so nervous that he had to blink back tears .. white-faced and obviously suffering from nerves that threatened to take control.” The guests sweated in the heat of the cathedral.

But the ceremony proceeded without any major disruptions, save one moment when Anne-Marie got a minor case of the giggles, and another when Queen Friederike nearly clobbered Prince Charles with one of the gold wedding crowns. (One newspaper dead-panned that “Charles did not duck, but he eyed the heavy crowns with concern.”) In total, nine royal men served as crown bearers during the wedding ceremony: Prince Charles, Crown Prince Harald of Norway, Crown Prince Carl Gustaf of Sweden, Prince Ingolf of Denmark, Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark, Prince Michael of Kent, Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia, Prince Karl of Hesse, and Count Michael Bernadotte af Wisborg.
Queen Ingrid wore a deep turquoise gown and matching feathered hat for the wedding. She accessorized with pieces from the married Pearl Poire Parure — the earrings, necklace, and brooch.
Here’s another view where you can spot some of the guests’ jewels. Princess Benedikte wore a multi-stranded necklace of pearls, while Queen Fabiola wore the necklace setting of the Spanish Wedding Gift Tiara (with rubies).

When the forty-five minute ceremony ended, King Constantine and the new Queen Anne-Marie emerged into the brilliant Greek sunlight. The couple processed through the streets of Athens in an open carriage pulled by six white horses under a blue sky. Press reports estimated that a million Greeks thronged the streets to see the couple pass by. (The wedding day had been declared a national holiday.) A 101-gun salute was fired from Mount Lycabettus, and church bells rang throughout Athens. The couple and their guests arrived back at the palace for a wedding banquet. Later, the couple departed for an island honeymoon in the Aegean Sea.

Though their wedding day was an especially lovely one, and the couple’s marriage has endured, Anne-Marie’s father was right to be worried about their future in Greece. The couple went into exile following a military coup in 1967, and the Greek monarchy was officially abolished by referendum seven years later. The couple raised five children — Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora, and Prince Philippos — in England, but in recent years, they’ve been allowed to return to Greece. In September 2014, they were able to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary with their family in Athens.

In January 2023, Constantine, the former and last king of Greece, passed away at age 82. Though he fled Greece when the monarchy was abolished in 1974, he would return in his final years. As he told T&C, "Look at ancient Greek history. All Greeks who live in exile, they want to go back. It's in the blood. Funnily enough, the one pushing hardest was my wife. I think she realized I would be happy only when I came back home." A funeral was held in Athens, attended by royals from around the world, and he was buried as a private citizen at Tatoi cemetery.
Today, a Service of Thanksgiving was held in Windsor at St George's Chapel. The British royals were out in full force to attend the service today, with the exception of King Charles and Kate Middleton, who are still absent from public duties, and Prince William—who bowed out at the last minute, citing personal matters. (He was scheduled to attend, and do a reading at the service; Constantine was his godfather.) However, Queen Camilla was joined by Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and many royals from around the world, including King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain, Princess Benedikte of Denmark, and Queen Noor of Jordan. Also in attendance were the Greek royal family—Constantine was survived by his wife, former Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, five children, and nine grandchildren. After the service, Queen Camilla hosted a reception at Windsor Castle for all the guests.
Here, see all the best photos of the royals who attended the service of Thanksgiving for Constantine:

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece wore a poignant piece of jewelry to the funeral of her late husband King Constantine II.
The Queen, 76, led the group of mourners who gathered for the funeral of King Constantine, who died last Tuesday at age 82. Constantine had reportedly suffered from chronic heart and mobility problems and died of a stroke after being hospitalized for breathing problems, according to The Guardian.
The King was laid to rest in Athens on Monday, where his widow wore the same diamond cross necklace she debuted on their wedding day. Constantine married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in September 1964, and the royals celebrated their 58th-anniversary last fall.
Constantine became King in 1964 at age 23 following the death of his father King Paul and married then-Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark months later.

Constantine, who won a gold medal in sailing for his country at the 1960 Olympics, acceded the throne weeks after a vote gave control to the Center Union party over the conservatives, the Associated Press reported. Constantine later had a falling out with Prime Minister George Papandreou over control of the armed forces that led to a coup in 1967, driving him and his family to flee to Rome.
The Greek monarchy was abolished in 1973, but Constantine continued to use royal titles for himself and his family members. He lived most of his years in exile in Hampstead Garden Suburb in London, returning to live in Greece in 2010.
He is survived by his wife Queen Anne-Marie, their five children — Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora and Philippos — and nine grandchildren, the Associated Press reported.

In the ever-connected European royal family tree, Prince Philip was first cousins with King Constantine, and Princess Anne (pictured below left) served as a bridesmaid at his wedding to Queen Anne-Marie. Princess Anne, 73, attended Constantine's funeral in Athens on Monday, standing in for her brother King Charles III. Likewise, Lady Gabriella Windsor was at the solemn service in Prince William's stead.

It is customary for senior royals in Britain to send relatives or close friends and aides to funerals on their behalf. The late Queen Elizabeth only rarely attended funerals. King Charles appears to be following the same custom and sending a family member instead.

Constantine's funeral was somewhat of a reunion for world royals. Prince Albert of Monaco was among the mourners joining royals from all over Europe paying tribute to Constantine. King Felipe and his wife Queen Letizia were also in attendance, as was Queen Margrethe of Denmark, the late King's sister-in-law.
Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were among the congregation along with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, as well as Prince Haakon of Norway and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.

The Greek Ruby Tiara and Parure
The Greek Ruby Tiara and Parure have a remarkably romantic story. The pigeon blood rubies in the pieces originate from Olga Constantinovna of Russia (1851-1926, also the queen consort of Greece), who received one ruby annually from her husband, King George I of Greece, to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
Eventually the rubies were mounted onto a tiara with a distinctive laurel wreath design emblematic of ancient Greece, a necklace of ruby and diamond clusters of flexible length with detachable pendants, earrings and brooches. As a symbol of the continuation of royal romance, Queen Anne-Marie received the Greek Ruby Tiara and jewellery set as wedding gifts from her mother-in-law, Queen Frederika of Greece, in 1964.
The Greek Emerald Parure Tiara
Considered by many as the grandest of Greek royal jewellery, the Greek Emerald Parure Tiara is a favourite of Queen Anne-Marie, who often wears it to important royal engagements.
All the cabochon emeralds used to belong to Olga Constantinovna of Russia. The magnificent tiara features a unique mirrored “E” design in a diamond-encrusted scroll frame and is set with seven round cabochon emeralds.
Along with the tiara, the parure consists of pearl-drop emerald earrings and a corsage brooch with detachable pearl-drop emeralds, among other pieces. It can be worn in many variations and combinations.
The Khedive of Egypt Tiara
The Khedive of Egypt Tiara, a diamond wreath scroll tiara crafted by Cartier, was worn by Queen Anne-Marie on her wedding day in 1964. It was originally a wedding gift for Princess Margaret of Connaught (1882-1920, granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the UK) when she married Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden in 1905.
It’s said that the couple first met in Egypt where their romance blossomed. For their wedding, the Khedive of Egypt (the governor of the country when it was ruled by the UK) commissioned Cartier to make this tiara, according to The Court Jeweller.
The Antique Corsage Tiara
The Antique Corsage Tiara is of a dainty design mounted with diamonds and pearls. Queen Anne-Marie received this tiara for her 18th birthday from her mother, Queen Ingrid of Denmark.
Originally a jewel-encrusted corsage brooch that can be traced back to Queen Victoria of Sweden (1862-1930), Queen Ingrid inherited it and transformed it into a tiara.
Queen Alexandrine’s Diamond Sautoir
A rather versatile piece of jewellery, Queen Alexandrine’s Diamond Sautoir, belonging to Queen Anne-Marie, is actually one half of a long diamond-set necklace. The owner of the original sautoir, or long necklace was Queen Alexandrine of Denmark (1879-1952), the grandmother of Queen Anne-Marie.
It was divided into two necklaces, which were eventually inherited by Queen Anne-Marie and her other sister Princess Benedikte of Denmark. Queen Anne-Marie has been seen pairing the sautoir with diamond and pearl drop earrings and an elegant diamond brooch.

Constantine II, Greece’s final king, died on January 13, 2023. He was 83 years old. A figure who ignited controversy and was much-loved by royalists, Constantine was married to the former queen Anne-Marie of Denmark in 1964. He had five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora, and Philip.
Ascent and exile
The only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece, Constantine took to the throne at the age of 23. His reign lasted a short three years. His reign came during a time of political instability. After the Colonels’ Coup of April 1967, Constantine inaugurated the junta. Following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta, Constantine fled into exile on December 13, 1967. He formally remained the head of state in exile until the monarchy was officially abolished in June 1973.
A controversial figure, Constantine repeatedly stated that he recognized the Republic, the laws, and the constitution of Greece following the abolition of the monarchy. He told Time, “If the Greek people decide that they want a republic, they are entitled to have that and should be left in peace to enjoy it.
Personal life and Olympics
Prior to serving as king, Constantine won a gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics for sailing. He was an avid sailor, as well as a strong swimmer, and had a black belt in karate. An athletic man, he also enjoyed squash, track events, and riding. Constantine became a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).]
Constantine and Anne-Marie for many years lived in London for many years. He was a close friend of his second cousin Charles III and a godfather to William, Prince of Wales.
Constantine returned to Greece temporarily during the 2004 Athens Olympic Games as a member of the International Olympic Committee.
In 1992, the royal family’s assets in Greece, notably the estates of Mon Repos in Corfu, Tatoi in Athens, and Polydendri in Larissa were ceded to a nonprofit organization.

Death and legacy
Royals from around the world traveled to Athens this week to pay their respects to Constantine II.
The funeral was held privately, which Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis explained made sense as the former king was the leader of the “Kingdom of Greece, which no longer exists.” Many felt Constantine was unfairly exiled, and the royal family remains a contentious topic.

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (Greek: Îννα-ÎαÏία ÎαÏίλιÏÏα ÏÏν ÎλλήνÏν) (born August 30, 1946) is the wife of King Constantine II of Greece, who was deposed in referenda in 1973 and in 1974. Her title "Queen of Greece" (or Queen of the Hellenes) is not recognized under the terms of the Constitution of Greece [1]. International precedent is that former holders of certain posts continue to hold their former title as a courtesy title in their lifetime.[2]
Birth and early life
Anne-Marie was born a princess of Denmark at the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen. She is the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and his wife Princess Ingrid of Sweden. Her godparents were King Christian X of Denmark, King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden, Prince Bertil of Sweden, King Haakon VII of Norway, Queen Alexandrine of Denmark, Crown Princess Märtha of Norway, Queen Mary of Great Britain, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, and Princess Dagmar of Denmark.
Anne-Marie is the younger sister of the current Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
Anne-Marie was educated at Zahle's School in Denmark from 1952 to 1963. In 1962 she attended the Chatelard School for Girls, an English boarding school outside Montreux in Switzerland. In 1963 and 1964 she attended the Institut Le Mesnil, a Swiss finishing school also in Montreux.
Engagement and marriage
In 1959, at the age of thirteen, Anne-Marie first met her future husband Crown Prince Constantine of Greece, who accompanied his parents King Paul of Greece and Queen Frederika on a state visit to Denmark. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the marriage of Constantine's sister Sofia to Prince Juan Carlos of Spain and in 1963 at the centenary celebrations of the Greek monarchy.
Anne-Marie and Constantine were married on September 18, 1964 in the Mitropolis, the Greek Orthodox cathedral of Athens.
As Queen of Greece, Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as "Her Majesty's Fund" which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece.
In December 1967 Anne-Marieâs husband King Constantine attempted a counter-coup against the military junta which had been sworn in by himself after a successful coup during the previous April. The counter-coup failed and Anne-Marie and her family had to flee to Italy. They lived for two months in the Greek embassy and then for the next five years in a house in a suburb of Rome.
In 1973 Anne-Marie moved with her family to England. They lived first in Chobham in Surrey. Later they moved to the London suburb of Hampstead where they continue to live today.
Official status since 1973
In spite of the fact that Constantine and Anne-Marie had gone into exile in 1967, Greece officially remained a monarchy for several years, with Major General Georgios Zoitakis serving as Regent. On June 1, 1973 the self-appointed Prime Minister, General George Papadopoulos, deposed Constantine as king and declared Greece a republic.
In November 1973 Papadopoulos himself was overthrown by General Dimitrios Ioannides. After the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in August 1974, the military junta collapsed. The new Prime Minister, Constantine Karamanlis, held a referendum on December 8, 1974 in which 68.8% of those who voted approved the abolition of the Greek monarchy.[3] The former Royal Family have questioned the moral legitimacy of the referendum on the grounds that they were not permitted to return to Greece to campaign there. [4]
A new republican Constitution of Greece came into force on June 11, 1975 according to which no titles of distinction are recognized in Greek citizens. From this point onwards most Greeks have ceased to recognize the titles of the former Royal Family. Some Greeks are even offended by Anne-Marie being referred to as "Anne-Marie of Greece", instead imposing upon her the use of her dynastic name and referring to her as "Anna-Maria Glücksburg", a name she has never used for herself.
Anne-Marie continues to be referred to as "Queen Anne-Marie of Greece" (or of the Hellenes) by most royal courts including those of the United Kingdom, [5] Spain, [6] Luxemburg, [7] and Jordan. She is called "Queen Anne-Marie" (without any territorial designation) by the courts of Denmark [8] and Sweden. [9] She is called "former Queen Anne-Marie of Greece" by the court of the Netherlands. [10]
When she travels internationally Anne-Marie uses a Danish diplomatic passport with the name "Anne-Marie de Grecia" (the Spanish form of her name).
Current activities
In 1980 Anne-Marie and Constantine founded the Hellenic College of London, a bilingual school where her own children were educated. She is currently Honorary Chairman of the school.
The Government of Greece did not permit Anne-Marie to return to Greece until 1981 when she was allowed to enter Greek territory for several hours to attend the funeral of her mother-in-law, Queen Frederika. She and her family paid a private visit to Greece in 1993. Since 2003 â when the property dispute between her husband Constantine and the Government of Greece concluded â Anne-Marie has visited Greece numerous times.
In 2003 Anne-Marie and her husband established the Anna-Maria Foundation with the money reimbursed to them by the Government of Greece for the appropriation of their private property. The Foundation provides aid to victims of natural disasters incuding earthquakes and floods in Greece. Anne-Marie serves as President of the Foundation.
On August 14, 2004 Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine visited their former home in Athens, the former Royal Palace now the Presidential Palace, for the first time since 1967. They were received by then President of Greece Costis Stephanopoulos along with other members of the International Olympic Committee (of which Constantine is an honorary member). In December 2004 Constantine, Anne-Marie and their children were again invited to pay a personal private visit by President Stephanopoulos.
Family
Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine have five children:
Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark, born July 10, 1965; married to Carlos Morales Quintana.
Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, Prince of Denmark, born May 20, 1967; married to Marie-Chantal Miller.
Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark, born October 1, 1969.
Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark, born June 9, 1983.
Prince Philippos, Prince of Greece and Denmark, born April 26, 1986.
Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine are third cousins: they share King Christian IX of Denmark as a great-great-grandfather in the male line.
Titles and styles
Anne-Marie has used the following titles and styles:
Her Royal Highness Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark (1946-1964)
Her Majesty The Queen of Greece (or The Queen of the Hellenes) (1964-1973)
Her Majesty Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (or Queen Anne-Marie of the Hellenes) (used outside of Greece, 1973-present)
Anna-Maria de Grecia (used in Greece, 2003-present) [11]

The King and Queen.
Photo (c) Greek Royal Family.
Yesterday, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece lost her husband and life partner of six decades. The love story between King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie is truly one of the most beautiful in modern times.
The eventual King Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece first met during a visit of the Greek royal family, including then Crown Prince Constantine, to Denmark in 1959. Anne-Marie's father King Frederick took his daughter and eventual son-in-law, as well as other royal youngsters, to see the Benneweis Circus in Jutland. Constantine was the only son of King Paul I of Greece and Queen Frederica (née Princess of Hannover). Anne-Marie was the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and Queen Ingrid (née Princess of Sweden).
Constantine and Anne-Marie met again in 1961. The following year, 1962, Anne-Marie was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Constantine's older sister Sophia to Juan Carlos of Spain. Later that same year, Anne-Marie was on holiday with her governess in Norway, where Constantine was attending a yacht racing event. He proposed and she accepted. They did not initially tell her parents.
In his biography of King Constantine II, entitled H.M. Konstantine XIII King of the Hellenes, the author G. Nicholas Tantzos wrote:
"The wedding of Sophie and Juan Carlos took place on May 14, 1962, and had even broader romantic consequences. The Crown Prince re-met his third cousin, the sixteen year-old Princess Anne-Marie. more than a hundred of Europe's royals attended the wedding, but Konstantine had eyes for no one else, and danced dance after dance with her, until his mother finally told him to give some of the other Princesses a break. Konstantine was having none of it, stating that he wanted no one else. Without telling his parents, Konstantine proposed to Anne-Marie during the summer of 1962 while they were all in Norway. She accepted, and the Prince immediately went and told his parents.
Several years before, while visiting Denmark, King Paul had also noticed the twelve-year-old Princess, and remarked to Frederika, 'She is like a butterfly. If and when he marries, I hope Konstantine marries her!'

While Frederika and Paul approved of the marriage, all was not so well in Denmark. Anne-Marie's father was delighted, but a number of legal questions were raised. Such a marriage would reunite the Danish and Greek Royal Houses. A hundred years before, the Danish Prince William, second in line to the Danish throne, had been elected King of the Hellenes as King George I. He had deferred his rights in the Danish succession to those of his younger brothers, but he, and his descendants, were still styled Princes of Denmark. Besides the close blood relationship, Danish law did not allow a girl to marry until she attained the age of eighteen. In order to marry, Anne-Marie required a letter of permission from her father, King Frederick IX, which also had to be approved by his Minister of Justice. Circumstances made this unnecessary. The death of King Paul required waiting through a period of mourning, and by the time the date was set, Anne-Marie was eighteen.
For six months the engagement had to be kept secret, much to the anguish of the Crown Prince, who lamented that it was '...unfair, since most engaged couples can see each other as often as they wish, while I have to sneak around, pretending that I am going to Denmark for the sailing.'"

The royal couple recounted their courtship in the Danish documentary A Royal Family.

King Constantine: "I actually saw a picture of her in a magazine. And I said: 'That's it.' And I said: 'Well, I want to go to Denmark and meet her.' And my father said: 'How are you going to do that?' And I said: 'Well, I'll write a letter to the king and say I'm going to be in Denmark for a sailing meeting with Mr. Paul Elvstrøm, which was feasible.' I don't know if I ever told Paul that I used him as an excuse to go see this girl."
Queen Anne-Marie: "We spent, whatever it was, four or five days in Athens for the wedding [of Princess Sophia of Greece and Infante Juan Carlos of Spain], which was a wonderful occasion. And I think probably there it was that we fell in love."
Queen Anne-Marie on their engagement: "I said: 'For goodness sake, do not not tell my parents, because they will have a fit!' Which he couldn't understand, but I persuaded him, and I think he realized that they probably would have had a fit. So it wasn't until, in fact, six months after we had got engaged unofficially that we did tell my parents."

King Constantine: "The biggest shock was for my father-in-law. I asked him if I could marry his daughter. And the poor man got such a shock that he got up, he never said a word to me, he just got up, took me by the hand, and put me in a room and locked me in there with no lights. So I had to sort of grope around to find a light, and then I found the light and opened it, and I found out I was in his toilet. And I couldn't understand what I was doing in there. And he had gone off to find his wife and tell her 'this fellow wants to marry our daughter - what do we do with him?'"

Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (Greek: Îννα-ÎαÏία ÎαÏίλιÏÏα ÏÏν ÎλλήνÏν) (born August 30, 1946) is the wife of King Constantine II of Greece, who was deposed in referenda in 1973 and in 1974. Her title "Queen of Greece" (or Queen of the Hellenes) is not recognized under the terms of the Constitution of Greece [1]. International precedent is that former holders of certain posts continue to hold their former title as a courtesy title in their lifetime.[2]
Birth and early life
Anne-Marie was born a princess of Denmark at the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen. She is the youngest daughter of King Frederick IX of Denmark and his wife Princess Ingrid of Sweden. Her godparents were King Christian X of Denmark, King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden, Prince Bertil of Sweden, King Haakon VII of Norway, Queen Alexandrine of Denmark, Crown Princess Märtha of Norway, Queen Mary of Great Britain, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, and Princess Dagmar of Denmark.
Anne-Marie is the younger sister of the current Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
Anne-Marie was educated at Zahle's School in Denmark from 1952 to 1963. In 1962 she attended the Chatelard School for Girls, an English boarding school outside Montreux in Switzerland. In 1963 and 1964 she attended the Institut Le Mesnil, a Swiss finishing school also in Montreux.
Engagement and marriage
In 1959, at the age of thirteen, Anne-Marie first met her future husband Crown Prince Constantine of Greece, who accompanied his parents King Paul of Greece and Queen Frederika on a state visit to Denmark. They met a second time in Denmark in 1961, when Constantine declared to his parents his intention to marry Anne-Marie. They met again in Athens in May 1962 at the marriage of Constantine's sister Sofia to Prince Juan Carlos of Spain and in 1963 at the centenary celebrations of the Greek monarchy.
Anne-Marie and Constantine were married on September 18, 1964 in the Mitropolis, the Greek Orthodox cathedral of Athens.
As Queen of Greece, Anne-Marie spent much of her time working for a charitable foundation known as "Her Majesty's Fund" which provided assistance to people in rural areas of Greece.
In December 1967 Anne-Marieâs husband King Constantine attempted a counter-coup against the military junta which had been sworn in by himself after a successful coup during the previous April. The counter-coup failed and Anne-Marie and her family had to flee to Italy. They lived for two months in the Greek embassy and then for the next five years in a house in a suburb of Rome.
In 1973 Anne-Marie moved with her family to England. They lived first in Chobham in Surrey. Later they moved to the London suburb of Hampstead where they continue to live today.
Official status since 1973
In spite of the fact that Constantine and Anne-Marie had gone into exile in 1967, Greece officially remained a monarchy for several years, with Major General Georgios Zoitakis serving as Regent. On June 1, 1973 the self-appointed Prime Minister, General George Papadopoulos, deposed Constantine as king and declared Greece a republic.
In November 1973 Papadopoulos himself was overthrown by General Dimitrios Ioannides. After the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in August 1974, the military junta collapsed. The new Prime Minister, Constantine Karamanlis, held a referendum on December 8, 1974 in which 68.8% of those who voted approved the abolition of the Greek monarchy.[3] The former Royal Family have questioned the moral legitimacy of the referendum on the grounds that they were not permitted to return to Greece to campaign there. [4]
A new republican Constitution of Greece came into force on June 11, 1975 according to which no titles of distinction are recognized in Greek citizens. From this point onwards most Greeks have ceased to recognize the titles of the former Royal Family. Some Greeks are even offended by Anne-Marie being referred to as "Anne-Marie of Greece", instead imposing upon her the use of her dynastic name and referring to her as "Anna-Maria Glücksburg", a name she has never used for herself.
Anne-Marie continues to be referred to as "Queen Anne-Marie of Greece" (or of the Hellenes) by most royal courts including those of the United Kingdom, [5] Spain, [6] Luxemburg, [7] and Jordan. She is called "Queen Anne-Marie" (without any territorial designation) by the courts of Denmark [8] and Sweden. [9] She is called "former Queen Anne-Marie of Greece" by the court of the Netherlands. [10]
When she travels internationally Anne-Marie uses a Danish diplomatic passport with the name "Anne-Marie de Grecia" (the Spanish form of her name).
Current activities
In 1980 Anne-Marie and Constantine founded the Hellenic College of London, a bilingual school where her own children were educated. She is currently Honorary Chairman of the school.
The Government of Greece did not permit Anne-Marie to return to Greece until 1981 when she was allowed to enter Greek territory for several hours to attend the funeral of her mother-in-law, Queen Frederika. She and her family paid a private visit to Greece in 1993. Since 2003 â when the property dispute between her husband Constantine and the Government of Greece concluded â Anne-Marie has visited Greece numerous times.
In 2003 Anne-Marie and her husband established the Anna-Maria Foundation with the money reimbursed to them by the Government of Greece for the appropriation of their private property. The Foundation provides aid to victims of natural disasters incuding earthquakes and floods in Greece. Anne-Marie serves as President of the Foundation.
On August 14, 2004 Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine visited their former home in Athens, the former Royal Palace now the Presidential Palace, for the first time since 1967. They were received by then President of Greece Costis Stephanopoulos along with other members of the International Olympic Committee (of which Constantine is an honorary member). In December 2004 Constantine, Anne-Marie and their children were again invited to pay a personal private visit by President Stephanopoulos.
Family
Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine have five children:
Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark, born July 10, 1965; married to Carlos Morales Quintana.
Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece, Prince of Denmark, born May 20, 1967; married to Marie-Chantal Miller.
Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark, born October 1, 1969.
Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark, born June 9, 1983.
Prince Philippos, Prince of Greece and Denmark, born April 26, 1986.
Anne-Marie and her husband Constantine are third cousins: they share King Christian IX of Denmark as a great-great-grandfather in the male line.
Titles and styles
Anne-Marie has used the following titles and styles:
Her Royal Highness Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark (1946-1964)
Her Majesty The Queen of Greece (or The Queen of the Hellenes) (1964-1973)
Her Majesty Queen Anne-Marie of Greece (or Queen Anne-Marie of the Hellenes) (used outside of Greece, 1973-present)
Anna-Maria de Grecia (used in Greece, 2003-present) [11]

An Ard Ri, even experts in Greek historical and political matters seem to disgree on which side the King was really on after the military coup in 1967. I gave up on this many years ago!
Here's a link to some pictures of the ball:

And here's the contents of that whole website, where you can see other pre-wedding festivities, the engagement ball, the wedding, and so on:

I think Anne-Marie was beautiful, but I don't like her dress for the pre-wedding ball. The sheer jacket she's wearing over it looks too big and makes it look like the dress is wearing her rather than the other way around.
Maura724, The Engagement Ball pictures are lovely.
I like the Procession to the Wedding photographs of King Constantine and his mother in the open carriage and of Princess Anne-Marie and King Frederik IX in an open landau.
In occasion of premier of film "Grace" the italian magazine Oggi has posted an interesting photos gallery with princess Grace and prince Ranieri. The gallery includes also photos from wedding of king Costantin to princess Anne of Denmark.

Anne Marie's wedding dress is one of my all time favorites. It has all the aspects of a wedding gown that I love: timeless design, simplicity, elegance, and beautiful style. I also love her veil and jewels. Truly a regal and wonderful gown.

Constantine II (2 June 1940 - 23 January 2023) reigned as king of Greece, from 6 March 1964 until the abolition of the monarchy on 1 June 1973.
Early life[edit]
Constantine is the only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica of Greece. As his family was forced into exile during the Second World War, he spent the first years of his childhood in Egypt and South Africa. He returned to Greece with his family in 1946 during the Greek Civil War which was being fought between the royal Greek government and communist. King George II died in 1947, and Constantine's father became the new king, making Constantine the crown prince.
As crown prince, Constantine was a competitive sailor and Olympian, winning a gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics in the Dragon class, and later serving on the International Olympic Committee. Along with his fellow crew members of the Nireus sailing vessel, he was named one of the 1960 Greek Athletes of the Year.
Reign[edit]
He acceded as king in 1964 following the death of his father, King Paul. Later that year he married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark with whom he eventually had five children. Although the accession of the young monarch was initially regarded auspiciously, his reign saw political instability that culminated in a military coup on 21 April 1967 when a group colonels overthrew the government. The coup left Constantine, as the head of state, little room to manoeuvre since he had no loyal military forces on which to rely. As a result, he reluctantly agreed to inaugurate the junta on the condition that it be made up largely of civilian ministers.
On 13 December 1967, Constantine was forced to flee the country, following an unsuccessful countercoup against the junta. He remained (formally) the head of state in exile until the junta abolished the monarchy on 1 June 1973. The 1973 Greek republic referendum on 29 July, ratified the abolition by a margin of 78.57% to 21.43%. There were questions concerning the validity of this referendum and whether people were pressured to vote for a republic. Therefore a fresh referendum was held after the restoration of democracy in 1974.
This second referendum was held after the fall of the military junta on 8 December 1974 and confirmed the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Third Hellenic Republic by a margin of 69.2% to 30.8%. Constantine, who had been disadvantaged in the campaign by being banned from returning to Greece to campaign,[1] nonetheless accepted the results of the plebiscite.[2]
Later years[edit]
Having lived in Rome since he was forced to flee Greece on 13 December 1967, in 1974 King Constantine moved to England where after a short period living in Chobham, Surrey, he set up residence in Hampstead, London. In 2013, Constantine returned to reside in Greece. He and his wife Anne-Marie purchased a villa in Porto Cheli, Peloponnese residing there until they relocated to Athens in the spring of 2022.
King Constantine died on 23 January 2023 in Athens, his eldest son Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece succeeded him as head of the Royal House of Greece.

The Beauharnais family – unexpected royal conquerors
Joséphine de Beauharnais with her children, Eugène and Hortense. When Emperor Napoleon dissolved his marriage with Joséphine de Beauharnais over her inability to sire an heir for his newly minted imperial throne, it was sufficient to say that her legacy would probably be a tarnished one. Though her beauty had been renowned and her charm was indisputable, she had been put aside by the most powerful man in all of Europe. She perhaps went to her grave four years later believing she had failed in her duty. Ironically, the lineage that Joséphine had felt such pressure to continue would die out prematurely, while her own descendants from her previous marriage made surprisingly advantageous marital alliances with various royal houses of Europe. As it stands today, Napoleon has no surviving legitimate descendants, while Joséphine’s descendants currently occupy the thrones of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Furthermore, two of her grandchildren were consorts to past mo
70th Birthday of HM Queen Anne-Marie of Greece
Her Majesty Queen Anne-Marie of Greece turns seventy on August 30, 2016. The wife of former King Constantine II of Greece, she has led a remarkable life, from her beginnings as a princess of Europe's oldest monarchy to becoming the young queen of a politically unstable kingdom before facing nearly fifty years of exile. Despite such misfortunes, the Queen has drawn comfort from a loving marriage, a happy family life with five children and, later on, nine grandchildren, and the privilege of retaining close family ties to the other reigning houses of Europe. She was born as Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark on August 30, 1946 at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, the third and youngest daughter of King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid. Her father was the son of King Christian X, while her mother was the only daughter of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden. Through her mother, Anne-Marie is a great-great-granddaughter of "the grandmother of Europe", Queen Victoria of Great Britain, an
