List of Greek royal consorts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Queen consort of the Hellenes)
Consorts of Greek monarchs were persons married to the Greek monarch during his reign. As all monarchs of modern Greece were male with the title of King of the Hellenes,[1] all Greek consorts were women with the title of Queen of the Hellenes and style Majesty. The following women were Queens of the Hellenes as spouses of the kings of modern Greece between 1836 and 1974:

[edit] Notes
- ^ The exception is King Otto, who was styled King of Greece. Amalia, accordingly, is the only person to hold the title Queen of Greece (rather than of the Hellenes).
- ^ Aspasia and Alexander's marriage was kept secret, and Aspasia was never styled as Queen of the Hellenes. Sometime after Alexander's death she was recognized as a Princess of Greece and Denmark instead.
