Notes

References

  1. 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'').
  2. 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.
