The Greek Royal Family have been granted Greek citizenship, 50 years after the end of the monarchy. Family members signed a declaration on Thursday (19 Dec 2024) acknowledging the republican government and adopting a new surname, “Ντε Γκρες” or “De Grèce” – French for “of Greece”. 10 members of the family were granted citizenship on Friday (20 Dec 2024) including the five children of the late Constantine II and Queen Anne-Marie – Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolaos, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos – as well as Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal children; Princess Maria-Olympia, Prince Constantine-Alexios, Prince Achileas-Andreas, Prince Odysseas-Kimon and Prince Aristides-Stavros. Queen Anne-Marie, a sister of Margrethe, Queen of Denmark did not apply for citizenship. In recent years the family have frequently visited Greece, having been exiled and banned from the country (up to the 1990s) in order to suppress their support and issues regarding surname and restitution of property. Since their exile The Greek Royal Family have mainly lived in the United Kingdom. While their titles are not officially recognised by the Greek government, as descendants of the male line of Christian IX of Denmark they are entitled to use Prince/Princess of Denmark titles which is recognised by the Danish monarchy and among other European royal families.

Princess Alice of Battenberg (Victoria Alice Elizabeth Julia Marie; 1885 – 1969) - Princess of Greece and Denmark

One of her Great-Grandmothers was Queen Victoria; her maternal grandmother was Alice, Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine; her mother was Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, sister of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia; her father was Prince Louis of Battenberg. Her son was Prince Phillip, consort of Queen Elizabeth II.

She married Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark

She had five children: Margarita, Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg

Theodora, Margravine of Baden

Cecilie, Hereditary Grand Duchess of Hesse

Sophie, Princess George of Hanover

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Alice suffered incredibly through her life, but she did not let that stop her from always thinking of others; she was born with a hearing deficit and her brilliant mother Victoria, taught her to lip read not in one but several languages. She had a husband who preferred to gamble in Montecarlo to being with his wife and children or...anything else. She was diagnosed with squizophrenia (there is no evidence that this was a correct diagnosis even though it was issue by Dr. Freud himself) and her pelvic organs irradiated to produce an early menopause (this was supposed to relieve the symptoms according to the medical thinking of the times). She lost her daughter Cecilie in a plane crash.

Yet, like her grandmother Alice, helping others came to her naturally. Israel gave her the award Righteous Among the Nations, bestowed on people who risked their own lives to help Jewish people survive the Holocaust. She worked for the Swiss Red Cross.

The princess founded a nursing order of Greek Orthodox nuns, the Christian Sisterhood of Martha and Mary, modelled after the convent that her aunt, the martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, had founded in Russia in 1909. She dedicated herself to helping others but eventually the order failed because of lack of funds.

And besides all of that, she was beautiful.

She died at Buckingham Palace at the age of 84.

(I have to add something here: Alice's smile in the picture is one of the most open, sweetest, tenderest, and most beautiful smiles I have ever seen. It filled me with awe, and thinking about her life brought tears to my eyes)

🇬🇷 🇩🇰 Happy 77th Birthday to Queen Anne-Marie of Greece!!!

30 August 1946

Queen Anne-Marie is the daughter of the late King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid of Denmark. The former Queen is also the wife of the late King Constantine II, the last king of Greece, youngest sister of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and aunt of King Felipe VI of Spain. She is the mother of five children, Princess Alexia, Crown Prince Pavlos, Prince Nikolas, Princess Theodora and Prince Philippos. Forced into exile by a military coup in 1967, Anne-Marie lived primarily in London with her husband and family.

In 2013, Constantine and Anne-Marie were finally allowed to live in Greece though denied citizenship, an issue the family is still fighting to remedy. Constantine passed away earlier this year. Her eldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos, is now the head of the Greek royal house. The Queen currently lives in Athens. Her two eldest sons, Pavlos and Nikolas, both reside in Greece with their families as well.
